I've always wanted to visit the US, to visit the huge cities or/and renting a car and going on a road trip. Not anymore though, it just doesn't feel worth it. I'll keep spending my vacations travelling around Europe and Asia. Maybe some day I'll travel Canada or the caribbean though. Heck, in 10-15 years it will probably be safer for foreigners to travel rural Africa than the US.

I'll use the same one over and over, without washing it inbetween.

Yeah, that's kind of implied. I've been to 13 of the listed countries and I can only agree.

Can't say that I'll enjoy it to but someone has to do the dirty work. :)

Fuck Austria. Fuck Australia. Fuck Belgium. Fuck Bulgaria. Fuck Canada. Fuck the Czech Republic. Fuck Denmark. Fuck Finland. Fuck France. Fuck Greece. Fuck Hungary. Fuck Ireland. Fuck Italy.

Fuck Spain. Fuck Sweden. Fuck the UK. Fuck the USA.

I miss the days of $7/gallon gasoline. Here in Sweden and most of the rest of Europe it's already over $8.

I'm tolerant of pretty much everything, except intolerance. I think everyone should be free to do whatever the hell they feel like doing and living in whichever way they feel like living as long as everyone involved is consensual and they don't restrict others from that same freedom. People should be free to fuck themselves up if they want, but not to fuck others up. That's why I'm NOT tolerant of people trying to, for example, restrict rights for homosexuals, transsexuals or even polygamists.

I do think that religion (all of them, except Kopimism) is stupid but I don't want to restrict people from believing in or practicing religion. I do however want to make it illegal for religious institutions to prevent (using any kind of scare-tactics) their members from leaving said institution.

Sweden is a beautiful country from late june to early august. The rest of the year, not so much unless you plan on going skiing.
Nature-wise it pales compared to Norway though, and I say that as a swede.

You're right. I did like it better when we were represented by fart jokes though. That's more in line with the swedes I know.

In MacOS X, [a subset of] BSD is just one of several subsystems running on top of the Mach microkernel, providing some core stuff like filesystems and the TCP/IP stack. They also use parts of the BSD userland. They don't use BSD for things like hardware drivers and device handling for example. The Mac-BSD-relation status is "it's complicated". It's way too different to be able to say that it's "based on" BSD, or even part of the family tree line. It's more like the friendly neighbor who let you borrow their stuff.

I really liked this at first, in december. Then the @sweden feed was all about drinking, sex and mocking religion and norwegians. After that it went downhill, to boring (here is a picture of my dogs) to outright embarrassing. Currently it's controlled by a fucking priest citing the bible and chatting about spirituality. How un-swedish isn't that?

...but it's only 50 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps upstream. Good enough for my needs.

I expect to have a little bit higher average income but I'm getting a new car AND I will start amortizing my apartment loan significantly more than previously so I will have less disposable money but my net wealth will increase or stay the same. My goal is to be completely debt free in 10 years (instead of the 25+ in my original calculation). Eat that, banksters.

Yes, it's a democratic republic where those who oppose the always winning democratically elected party get beaten up and imprisoned. Voting on the wrong party in Belarus can be bad for your health.

gapless != cross-fade. An MP3 stream is divided into frames that are larger than CD frames. If a song ends in the middle of a frame, that frame is padded with silence which cause an audio dropout when playing albums with continuous sound, like live recordings for example. Most modern MP3 encoders (at least LAME) use a non-standard (but nowadays defacto-standard) tag to store the exact byte on which the song ends so players can skip the silent padding and play the album just like the original CD would had. Worth noting is that this problem is MP3-specific. All modern codecs/containers already handle this natively.

Basically it IS just (a subset of) plain HTML+CSS with a standardized naming structure for table of contents, chapters, cover and similar, all bundled together into a zip file. It defines a default style for unstyled tags and which subset of HTML and CSS the renderer must handle to be compliant.
