Hello there! Will you join me in jeering at the Swedes for being so untrustworthy?

Yes those two were English colloquialisms.

Tried to find a good link but all I found was this one.
Honesty tests conducted to determine most honest city/country. Just an excuse for me to brag about my home country of Norway, heh

Polystyrene, not Styrofoam(TM), plaster, not Band-Aid(TM), window cleaner, not Windex(TM), public address system, not Tannoy(TM), and so forth.
Personally, I use the word "painkiller" a lot. When asked about specific types I say Ibuprofen, Aspirin or Paracetamol.

Where do you live where the cops are the voice of reason???
Everywhere I have lived, you don't get reason until your lawyer arrives.

Hmm I was under the impression using a crack for a game you own was legal..? Hence the legality of gamecopyworld (btw, use that for cracks/NOCD binaries and avoid torrents)

Let's not get into arguments about what "the law" is before we establish which jurisdiction we're talking about. I was under the impression the 24-hour law was only in Germany.

Out of interest, were they all pertaining to use of P2P programs? Had they seen P2P traffic?
All this talk of shutting down locker sites had me trying to figure out if the reason is that with these sites (just downloading over HTTP port 80) means the ISP cannot do much to see illegal downloads, so the *IAA go after the source instead, whereas with P2P they can see traffic over a different protocol which sets off alarm bells and therefore triggers more scrutiny of traffic.

There are absolutely rules against flammable/inflammable/combustible liquids. Have a look at the signs at the counter next time you're in the airport, they're pretty clear. Whether they are all enforced is another story (a friend once brought back an airsoft gun from Greece, nobody said anything).

Needlessly, because we have homeless shelters for them to go to.

Derogatory tone aside, that wasn't really the point of what I was saying. Yes, you code something to achieve something, but the motivation behind it isn't the use of the product itself (as the GP suggested) but for the experience and accomplishment of making something. You can bake a cake from ingredients or buy it in a shop. Price difference is negligible so you only really bake a cake at home because you like baking. Similarly, I recently threw together a Hangman style game in Java. There is probably ten hangman games for every programming language out there, open source, ready to use. So why make your own?
My point is, yes people do it for the reward, but the reward is not the end product. Rather, it's the experience of the process that *is* the reward.

Seeing as Anonymous is simply the name given to anyone who posts on 4chan, it doesn't really identify anyone. Indeed, Lulzsec recruits skiddies on /b/, and the idea of mass-DDOS was made famous by *chan style invasions, but other than that there is no correlation.

Here in Europe, the Polish are often seen as synonymous for cheap labour (they are the Mexicans of Europe, if that makes sense). I could see how some patriotic Mexicans might disagree with their fellow countrymen jumping the border to work in the US.

Finally, a cat owner acknowledges his role in the human/cat relationship!

I would agree. I think by banning words from common use, we create a sort of Streisand effect. The n-word is not often uttered in public anymore, but the web is full of it. People clearly still want to say these things, so it's not like banning the words stamps out the intention behind it. Banning the word gives it more power, due to its taboo-ness. Who hasn't been called a (n-word) or (semite) in an online game?
Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino had the right idea. Racial slurs are aplenty in that film, but used jokingly as a term of endearment. That takes power away from the word, more effectively than banning it from use (though hatred will still prevail, so another word will likely be invented to replace the old one).
