Two screens to send a photo sound like a bit of a hassle. On my Sony phone I can take a photo, press the "share" button to get a context based share menu and my most recent signal/email contacts appear right at the top ready

I wonder how this is in Europe where the buyer can get very hefty fines for buying counterfeit goods and even heftier fines for bringing said goods across borders. Personally I don't shop at Amazon so I don't know if it's a p

* PIE support for the m88k platform. I'm quite amazed that there exists hardware where they can test this! Maybe there are some embedded systems still using motorola chips? Anyway, OpenBSD is great. I'm running it on my router and

Also, at least here in Norway, the service workers have to pay taxes on the tips. How does this work in other countries? It it just a way to dodge taxes for the owners? Minimum wage laws also applies to the pre-tip salary so it's not r

That's certainly a possibility, but is it possible for other (malware) apps to scan private facebook posts? This was not a sms or anything like that, but a regular private facebook post made from her computer.

I have avoided them for a few months for this exact reason. I think once the different data authorities kick into action in Europe, many companies will get a nasty surprise.

s/last/only Although I have a sweet spot for the windows xp x64 edition, it worked pretty good in the end too. After trying to deal with windows 10 I went 100% linux and started gaming on PS4 instead of my PC.

This was news all over Scandinavia and debated up and down and the police actions were condemned from everyone. It was an extremely troublesome case even here in Norway. It rocked the very principals that our societies are based on. So yes,

I think the difference is that in the US the police is trained for 30 weeks (I think) in escalating situations and using violence to solve their problems while here in Norway the police education is a full three year bachelors degree with e

My wife and I married at the town hall with our parents and siblings as guests. The only expense was the dress and dinner after and it totaled about 10000 NOK (€1000) so it doesn't have to be that expensive :) We didn't have cake.

Same here in Norway. I remember being jealous of people in the US with a flat local rate. We paid by the minute for everything, even more for "long" distance. My father got rather upset when we got a phone bill of 5000 NOK back in

This is also a solution and one which works also for those not born in the country but are moving in when they are older. It does put a drain on the school system though and at least here in Norway the budgets are pretty tight already. And
