Comment Re:I'm thinking about moving to Norway (Score 3, Informative) 154

I do not know where in norway you live, but what you describe...doesnt sound like the same country i live in, here in western norway ( bergen ) people push the speedlimit, average speed on a 80 kph highway is about 85, police wont bother you until you're over 90-95. The same city in question, has historicly been a major trading city, even before americas was discovered ( Hanseatic League 1200 AD->), and is still one of the most visited ports in the world, in trade and in tourism. There has also been allot of cultural trade ever since the vikings headed over to England to have some fun. The food. You can basicly get the exact same food here, that you can get in every other european country, and the food is -cheaper- in norway, then in any other country in europe, if you compare it with the wages we get here. ( you make about 23us$ an hour working at Mcdonalds.) So offcourse food has to be expencive, people who work at slaughterhouses and shops needs to get payed too. If you dont like that you can make 60 000 us$ a year working at McDonalds, while you as a MD make about 100 000us$ a year , too bad, move back to US where there are more social differences, and therefore, crime. Cant even understand why you would live here, if it bothers you that much.

Comment Background info on Telenor (Score 4, Interesting) 154

I would like to add some information about Telenor. Telenor is state owned, 54% of the shares belong to the people/Norwegian state. They have close to 200 million customers worldwide. So this is a big operator in the Telecom world. They have about 43 000 employees. Today, I am proud to be Norwegian.
Television

Submission + - In Norway, prisoners take part in TV debates (guardian.co.uk)

Sheen writes: "Prisoners take part in a live pre-election tv debate, airing their concerns and opinions. They are also allowed to vote. After the show aired, in an online chat most of the chatters said one of the inmates was the winner of the debate."

I pay around 50us$ for 24Mbit/1.4Mbit DSL, unlimited offcourse. i dont know of a single ISP that has a cap here in Norway. I'm waiting for f.optics which are being built as we speak, which will be 100/100Mbit for around 40-60us$. Tho, remember that a Quarterpounder Value Meal here is around 13us$ ( McDonalds Index eh ). Working an hour, daytime at Mcdonalds will make you 16us$ (before taxes).
