The first releases for OSX was the exact opposite. It took ages to start up, and still, to this day, Chrome just feels more "right" on Windows than on OSX. Things are way better now, but the start up speed is still not on par with Linux and

It's almost impossible to get a permanent citizenship in any of the scandinavian countries (besides Svalbard, which is a part of Norway, but really strange case). You either have to be some sort of highly educated person or marry someone wi

You're still stuck with a bill, if you're a foreigner. They will treat you, like they will in most of the world. But you're still stuck with a bill afterwards. Also, unless my memory is totally off, each country has to pay up for EHIC, depe

Should be noted that there is not a direct correlation between tax paid for health care and cost of health care. It's heavily subsidised by the government, from taxes taken elsewhere. In Norway it's like this: Senior citizen: 4,7% Employed:

Life saving treatment is usually like this all over the world, and in Denmark they will give you a bill unless you're apart of EU, as you'd have the EU health insurance (EHIC), which is free. This card is also valid in countries in the Sche

I wonder when more services like this will be released in northern Europe. The legal systems are more or less identical on copyright and intellectual property, which should make it a lot easier? Combined, scandinavia covers around 20 millio

Java is a never ending story of fun. I had a case where my grandma had issues logging into her online banking account, because the applet threw some sort of error response to her. Turns out that Chrome shipped with a newer version of Java t

How did you manage to do this? You'd have to use PAM for this to work, and PAM and key-based authentication is mutually exlusive, as far as I know.

Depends on what system you're on really. You should be able to do it in network preferences or you could export it in your local shell.

I have read the documentation, and it's pretty nifty. But I rarely have to use it anyway, so I've stuck with a solution that is not dependant on any other software than what ships nativly with my OS.

My trick is usually just to setup a socks5 tunnel to a remote machine running OpenSSH. The nice thing about this is that you don't have to install anything on your system, and most people have access to a remote Linux/BSD-based server. Nift

Put 10 developers in a locked room and they would eventually come up with the same idea. Just because you thought of it first does not give you exclusive rights on elementary things. Also, you probably copied someone at some point anyway. I

Without sales tax your income tax would "look insane", and you'd complain just as much. It's just another way to bring in taxes in a way that evenly distributes it among people.

Compared to computer games today the PS3 is incapable. Point in case: Battlefield 3, where they have to limit the game to 24 players, where PC has 64 players. And it has been like that a long time now, with many games. That's why I like Ouy

I think you are misleaded by the branding on your debit card. Most transactions are not going through Visa, but a third-party solution that the banks them selves run. I might be wrong, but I think Nets delivers the solution in most of north

Because they are not related. You can use them just as you would with Google Adsense. Obviously you can get a lot of free advertisement and edorsement with having people "like" you on Facebook, but that is beside of the point. And the click

If you're in europe you can watch it live at NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation), but the commentary will ofcourse be in Norwegian. NRK has excellent coverage, with 7 (9 including NRK1 and NRK2) dedicated channels. See more: http://tr

So - by supporting the fact that Israel is illegally occupying Palestine, I'm supporting terrorists? You can support someones cause but not necessarily means. There is a huge difference, and by even suggesting that they support terrorism yo

And most retailers are careful about having a large stock of anything that is not made by Apple, as they have a tendency to be stuck with them. I worked in retail and we rarely dared to order more than two of any new tablet that hit the mar

Then use a browser that supports open search, type "imdb <tab>" in your address bar and whatever you want to search for, no need to use "bang-notation". I rarely find websites that does not support this kind of feature. In order for

I find it sad that Skype has evolved to be MSN Messenger-replacement, there were so many good alternatives. At one point MSN was even usable-ish, as you could choose whatever client you wanted. With Skype, not so much. I'm switching a lot b

A little side note, riding in the desert might seem like a no-brainer, but it's really really really hard for a computer to make sense of the terrain or what's ahead, which is why it took some time for the first cars to even finish the race

So, let me get this straight. You will not have this near your food solely based on the fact that FDA has approved of it? That's crazytalk if you ask me.

I disagree, as a warningshot is usually followed with lethal shots within seconds. You basically give them one last chance, if the circumstances allow for it (!), to lay down the weapon.

by vegardx 14y ago
So you in your opinion it's better to shoot to kill a person than to give a fair warning that they mean business, where there is a slight, near non-existent, chance of bystanders getting hurt or killed. I would agree with you if they were u

You are taking my statement out of context. I just said that guns make me feel less safe, not that I feel less safe in a police station. You also conclude that firing warning shots means that they have no backup, again, you have no idea wha

It does not tell you anything about their rules of engagement, so how can you say it is completely reckless? I've seen my fair share of shoot-outs from the US, and if that is not reckless, than what is? Coming from Norway i find the very no
