They would be obligated to get rid of the monarchy, though; the federal constitution requires that all states have a republican form of government, iirc.
Really? I always thought of her as the state governor...

Domino's charges about half as much if you pick up the pizza yourself, yet still claims delivery is free...
Is this only if you go in the store? On their website, delivery and collection is the same price.
You get buy one get one free on collection, but not on delivery round here.
Strange. In the UK the delivery and collection is the same price, but you get buy one get one free on Tuesday. Weird.
I'm in the UK! Our local Dominoes seems to have a perpetual buy one get one free offer on (on collection); not just Tuesdays. It must be something they leave up to the individual Franchisees

Well, my experience is that the Danish postal service is pretty forgiving about the payment too. I'd forgotten to put a stamp on a letter, so I got a letter from the post office with a photo of the letter proving that there was no stamp on it. They reminded me to put one on in the future, but they would deliver the letter at no charge this time.
The UK postal service is quite forgiving now too, a shame because they used to have special stamps that they would put on the letters\parcels to charge the person who received the item if there was no return address; stamp collectors used to post unstamped mail to themselves in order to get them.

I take it you've never been to Wales, Scotland, other parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland or Even parts of England.
The whole country doesn't speak English, so it's not rude here either. Hell, even when speaking English in England; you get a choice of dialects. And it's not just those three countries where English is an official language; Of course those other places also speak English in their own way
The norwegian wording of it does not make any exceptions.
Norway's not even a member of the EU. I know that they have to implement a lot of EU legislation to stay in the EEA, but surely they have more space for interpretation of EU directives than EU member states.
The thing is that smartphones by definition nowadays tend to be more of an access point to all their stuff at home. The best example is a teacher decides that a student may be doing something his parents are fine with but the teacher doesn't like so that teacher comes to the kids house, forces the kid to log into everything, and goes through everything from facebook to the kid's private files for something to expel or suspend the kid for.
While at school the teachers are in loco parentis - they have the same responsibilities and rights as parents over the children; if you've got the right to go through your kids phone, so does the school.
And they also ignore that unless you keep your entire savings under your mattress, you probably have your money invested in something else, you're not affected by inflation.
Here in the UK the current Bank of England rate is 0.5% & inflation is between 3 & 4% so money in current accounts and even money in many savings accounts is affected by inflation. You have to be really a savvy or lucky saver to beat it at the moment.
Not only that, but a large part (perhaps a majority) of the UK population have little or no savings, so combined with our current austerity measures (i.e. pay freezes, cuts, VAT increase etc.) inflation has had an impact on people's purchasing power - they feel poorer, even if technically they're not.
Whilst people here aren't quite as crazy (at least in public) as some of the stuff I've heard from the US, they certainly don't like inflation.
But there is nothing stopping a bunch of regular joes from throwing a couple bucks into a pool to raise that much money together.
If any of my favorite authors put a book out like that, I'd throw $5 or $10 into the pot to get it "released".
We would need someone to administer a scheme like that - maybe they could find new authors that we might like & they might also have to do some promotion to get enough people interested in some books. What could we call those people? "Publishers" sounds like a good name for them...
actually if you bought it from a UK retail outlet (PC World for example) and say you installed Linux instead of the provided OS they WILL tell you that your hardware warranty is no longer valid, or at least that's what they were telling people 2-3 years ago before there was some public outcry about it.
Just because that was what they were telling you doesn't make it true.
