I hear a lot of bitching about food and gas prices for example here in Finland. Also very few people DON'T have a problem with some sort of bureaucrat, for example idiotic and incoherent health inspectors, bureaucrats deciding who gets sub

I recommend reading Friedman's Free to Choose after reading The Shock Doctrine http://www.amazon.com/Free-Choose-Statement-Milton-Friedman/... (Friedman is the guy that Naomi Klein blames on the book)

Just because things are different, doesn't mean that certain analogies couldn't be useful. I would argue that if you are aware that a person is not a nation and vice versa, that there are some traps on the way, this analogy is useful indeed

Taz seems to be a rather leftist newspaper, wouldn't take it at face value.

Also, the swedes reversed their decision few years ago. Nowdays while they are not increasing nor decreasing nuclear power, they are OK with replacing the old reactors.

! You are correct, isnic allows to register two-letter domains :) It is probably better to register there anyway than with some random registrars.

I tried to register a two-letter domain with few registrars found by googling: it seems that one isn't allowed to register a two-letter .is domain anymore; a very common policy in domain names.

I think this is indeed a low hanging fruit. Upvoting should have some negative side effect or limit that makes you think for a split second if you really want to do it. In articles: personally I only upvote only those articles that I really

"... that's not exactly the best case is it?" You could think about the outer building as keeping the rain out, and possibly aeroplanes to some extent. It is not the critical last defence against stuff happening in the reactor, the containm

That's great, if you have the time to filter it all. I use HN because it takes way less time than checking all those RSS feeds. I might miss interesting things, but those are beyond the point of diminishing returns. If it saves my time, I'm

Well probably the people who are interested on this know the name Milton Friedman very well, but I agree that for others an about page would be nice. Just FYI: this is a television series from Friedmans book "Free to Choose", a classic book

I wonder why they don't get payment gateway IP's from shops, surely some of them work in them, and DDOS those. Maybe too much heat because Visa and MasterCard would lose millions per day and people would lose the ability to pay with their c

There is going to be a lot of books in there, so _filtering_ is a must, sorting just isn't enough. EDIT: I mean this for "Noob ... Expert" selection. Also simple tags would probably be better than those "How to xx some xx"
