Actually, I think he just multiplied $5000/kg with 5000 kg (5t) to get (exactly) $25 million.

And to get the statusbar back you can install status-4-evar.

Sounds like your studying an engineering degree (civilingenjör) :) The reason for the physics and other "unrelated" courses in almost all MSc level engineering degrees in Sweden is to provide breadth. You are supposed to know a little about everything along with your main subject and be able to tie it all together. I suspect (or at least hope) it's the same in other countries. Another point is to learn to be a good learner. When you get out of uni and start working you will most likely not work with the exact thing you studied. You will be expected to learn new things and build on what you've already know.

In the real world, since you have already paid for the car this would be considered theft in some jurisdictions...

It would have been nice with a link to the source for the above information, like the original TOS or at least an article.

I've alwats found "organic something" to be quite a strange way to indicate that something is environmentally friendly or the such. Organic cotton as opposed to inorganic cotton? It's a plant, it's organic by default :)

This can be pretty challanging even in single player if you play as a one of the more difficult countries. I would however recommend starting out with one of the easier countries as the learning curve can be a bit steep. There's quite a few concepts to keep track of in the game and if you're unlucky you'll end up as a one province vassal to France or something the like. Once you get the hold of it you can start setting your goals higher and higher. Or just do crazy things like playing as Ming and explore your way to Euroupe with the goal of converting all the members of the Holy Roman Empire to confucianism :)
And it gets even better in multiplayer with a few friends, provided you can get them all together for a few hours of play each night.

Also, as someone posted above: EVE online.

Actually, I am the only one in the world with my name. But even if you've got a common name your brother probably doesn't have that many friends with your name so it's trivial for facebook to make the connection between your brothers gmail contact with your name and your brothers facebook friend with the same name.
