The headline say that it has been rejected, but the Norwegian article sais the status is not yet decided by the proper governing body. Quite a difference I'd say :)

They very clearly state that bitcoins have not been banned as a currency, only that it's status still has to be decided by Finanstilsynet (almost like SEC, but with a broader mandate).

The Norwegian IRS does not have the authority to claim it is a currency or not, only Finanstilsynet. All they do is tax what they see as an asset until Finanstilsynet gives other directions.

Nettvalutaen Bitcoins beskattes

Quite different heading than the /. heading.
Translated it just means "Bitcoins are to be taxed".

I resigned my Linux Journal subscription the moment they went away from paper.
Geek news is in abundance on the internet. Having a tablet in the toilet just is not a substitute for a magazine.

Not to mention that the world is very beautiful :)
The whole package is just well crafted and entertaining, and the fact that you can get all the skills and abilities but have to build your own "deck" from over 500 makes it very free indeed.

Personally I find The Secret World very nice for my wife and me as we play casually. There is new content on a steady basis and lots of outfits that my wife loves.
It's set in a dark contemporary world where the secret societies are comming into the open due to paranormal events.
It's quite a horror style dark mmo :)

We also play minecraft multiplayer on a whitelist server, and my 2.5 year old daugher is starting to take very much interest in watching us feed cows or ride the minecarts :)

I just watched this clip of Magnus where he beats 10 Harward lawyers blind folded :)
Quite impressive memory.

He reminds me a bit of Rainman sometimes.

The brain is only 2% of the mass, but actually accounts for 20% of the energy usage.

I suspect Magnus might use even more when he is really thinking.

Personally I can get exhausted for long periods of heavy brain use, and this championship lasts for 100 hrs.

I'd not be too sure I wouldn't call it a sport.

I have friends that play CS with CRT monitors for the higher sync you get on them.
I guess those are the individuals that are most interested in this :)

So, this technology could be used in the xbox it self?
Is it already? I'm not sure if it shows adds at all as I don't own any.

Doesn't look like either.
When I click the link, all I get is a large page that want to "give me" an iphone 5 as the lucky winner. How did this page pass the editors?

Now the real question is 88 mph in relation to what? :)

I have newest linux, X and XFCE on a dual pentium pro 200 mhz. It has a bit more ram, but it still is about 18 years old.

I must admit, I don't run big regression analysis in R on this one, but it works fine for when friends want to browse the web a bit.

It also fits nicely in my "museum" :)

I have linux om an old dual ppro 200 MHz. Works like a charm :)

The N4 (which has been out for about a year) does not have this issue at all. In fact, I've not seen it on any android phone that came out the last year.
The last time I experienced a small UI lag on times was with the 3 year old HTC Desire. It kind of helped that 4.0+ went with HW accelerated UI.

Probably not the banks, they would have to get involved with tons of small companies offering credit cards.
It is much easier to hit visa or mastercard directly as all the transactions pass through them.
