Comment Re:Swedish does not derive from Latin (Score 5, Informative) 88

As a swede, I can say that our laws seems to function quite alot better than the american laws do.

We actually have the freedom to watch our watchers (in most cases). The government is quite significantly more "for the people by the people" than in the United States.

And just for you, the european human rights convention explictly states "habeas corpus" rights, although not under the title "habeas corpus". This convention is also considered part of swedish law since 1998.

And we certainly have the sense not to run camps were our "habeas corpus" doesnt apply...

As for the language, use whatever floats your boat. It could be total crap and still work (like PHP for me).

Submission + - Google buys paper mill - converts to datacenter

The site is to be used for a new datacenter and was chosen partly because paper manufacturing is notoriously electricity hungry and therefor the old factory has excellent electricity supply. Sea water from the adjacent Baltic sea may also be used to provide cooling for the facility [Link in swedish], a historical world first?"

But it's really a technicality.

multi-billion dollar companies are using those same "technicalities" to avoid paying taxes.

The position of the government SHOULD BE to protect the property of its citizens.

yes and as we all know, media companies are not citizens. the artists are however and they get royally screwed with the current system.
