Another things is that we don't always seek out the things we are interested in on our own because we are ignorant of them and it's not until we've studied them we realize that we enjoy the subject (I find this is very true for math). The w

I don't see how that domain sound or looks anything like a swear word in Swedish. The closest thing I can think of is mutta but it's quite a stretch and they aren't pronounced the same at least not in any English accent I can think of. Ther

Enlighten a European. Is there some reason you put extra focus on getting good grades the last year, do employers focus mainly on the last year grades? (On a related note, I have to find a placement of open source nature for my second year

It might be interesting to know that there's a Swedish study from 2008 that showed no significant change in ticket sales over the past 15 years. The study also showed people go less frequently to the movies but that's being weighted up by m

If you are using a service that is making money by your mere presence aren't you in a way paying them? Although I don't exactly understand the rationale that free invalidates complaints, I would think a company wants to hear from their disg

Haven't a whole lot of ideas been attributed to drugs over the years? It would seem like a effective starting point for insanity with the added benefit of reverting to your sane old self when it's over. Or so I'd assume, I've never done dru

It started as a hobby project and they are quite insistent that it still is, it's just an extremely popular hobby project. The whole thing is essentially run in a crowd-sourcing "I can improve/change that, so I will"-type of way. So substit

Chrome already runs on multiple processors and it doesn't lock my system in any way. Mind you I'm the type of user that can have over 20 tabs open at any given moment and sometimes have irefox with multiple tabs, chrome, ie, word and other

I think this is a terrible idea as I can't possibly see how they would stop a crafty student from modifying his own computer and putting in a radio link that can reach well outside the exam room in a frequency they aren't detecting (my univ
