In Sweden about 69% of the workers are unionized, and the companies are still quite innovative IMHO (ie Skype, Spotify)

Government employee over 40=35 days. Age30=28 days and 30-39=31 days

What insane amount of paid time off? I'm from Sweden and only have 7 weeks (35 days) of vacation/year, plus the regular holidays etc of course. Fun fact, we get paid more when on vacation! :)

Reminds me of when I had to move a Frogger arcade game without turning it of.

How did they get it through the customs? Anyone who knows how many kilos it can carry?

Most people here in Sweden depends on the internet to do stuff like paying bills, communicate with government agencies, school and what not. Virus infested PCs are often useless for that.

As someone who spent some time in police custody I can tell you that it's standard practice in Sweden. About 1700/year are put in custody and then found not guilty or not charged with any crime at all (like me). Most lawyers find our system far too harsh, here's one lawyers view on the issue

When my company (actually a government agency) moved six years ago I chose an all mobile solution for us, saved a lot of cabling and reduced the number of phones ringing at an empty desk. Nobody misses the old phones. The mobile solution is also a lot cheaper.

True, I spent 47 days in solitary confinement at the infamous Kronoberg then they released, no charges, and after about 6 months I got 37000SEK for the "inconvenience". They thought I had something to do with a kidnapping (I really didn't)... But the wardens were actually quite nice, I got an Xbox in my cell, unfortunately a TV remote was required to change the channel to AV, which they didn't have (they said the tweakers broke them)... But it was miserable that I couldn't speak to anyone but the lawyer, couldn't pay any bills, it was even hard to make arrangements for my cats.

You don't have enough of that in your American candy! We love it in Sweden, try for yourself, http://www.swedishgoodies.com.au/lollies-chocolate/smagodis.html (I'm not affiliated with them)

Top Rear? Is that the porn version of Top Gear? I'd watch that

Yup, I have 35 days (7 weeks!) of paid vacation (Sweden)

from the controls and everything should be fine
