Norway (and Denmark iirc) have plans on laying down more (sea) cables to Germany so I guess this link in reality would connect southern Germany to Norway.
The countries are already trading energy and I would guess they would need this as a mini super grid to make a larger percentage of the energy renewable.
Bonus nerd info. Heres a link to a almost live view of the input and output of electricity and natural gas from Denmark: http://www.energinet.dk/Flash/...

After 2 years for about 1/3 of their original price.
And I can buy a new for almost half of the shop price(due to write off from my salary before taxes) so it is a good deal for me.
It would be way to expensive to buy otherwise and not really worth it.

I would have suggested that the people of East Buchanan got together and created their own service. But when looking at this phone company it says East Buchanan
Telephone Cooperative.
So it is owned the "customers", right? They should be able to change this then.

Would they steal a car?
Unlike people who download their movies, they are making money from theft.
Or perhaps they finally figured out why copying isn't the same as stealing.

I don't understand why people would want to watch other peoples mediocre gaming skills.
"Look at me as a play a level in some generic shooter". zzzz
There are a few exceptions where I want to see the graphics, maybe to checkout the gameplay or a hint/guide/learn from someone. But let's face it 99% of the gameplay videos out there are just filling hard drives with useless pixels.
And I don't get what makes people think you would want to watch them do something as ordinary as playing a game?

Man Trying To Fly Across the Atlantic On Helium Balloons 92
coondoggie writes "f you've ever wondered if you could fly just by holding onto a bunch of helium balloons over your head, well then you might understand where Accenture IT Technical Projects Manager Jonathan Trappe is coming from. Trappe today set out today from Caribou, Maine to cross 2,500 miles of Atlantic Ocean using 370 helium balloons slung under a small gondola. According to a DailyMail.com story, Trappe is relying on state-of-the-art weather data from the meteorologist who advised Felix Baumgartner on his record-breaking skydive from the stratosphere last year. The latest weather reports before the launch suggested winds would take Trappe to western Europe, though the exact destination would be hard to predict."
Update: 09/13 14:08 GMT by S : The attempt is already over and unsuccessful. Trappe landed safely in Newfoundland, saying he was having trouble controlling the balloons.
