Remember kids, i'ts only ok to bribe if you got *lots* of money.

On the other hand it effectively stops the user from being smart as well. First thing I want to do when I get a suspicious pop up from UAC is the check the disc for the programs properties and so on and check the internet if it is a well known file or not. And what does UAC do? It blocks me from doing anything until I have pressed Yes or No.

oh, if we're adding more mods, how about a "-1 typing while intoxicated"? :)

I didn't manage to get this from the article but are reputable breeders allowed to charge for the sale of a dog for instance?

I have never seen a pet shop in Sweden btw that sells cats or dogs. All sold pure bred cats and dogs that I have heard of has been sold directly from a breeder. There are also quite few that make a living breeding cats or dogs in Sweden. Most consider it a hobby.

Meh, this has already happened in Sweden when the police confiscated a lot of servers and disrupted service for other customers just to get at The Pirate Bay. Who cares if other gets hurt in the process for the greater good...?

Wow, that must really suck. Here in Sweden we have at least three different ways to file our taxes all provided by Skatteverket (The department for taxes). A four page paper form is sent out to everyone with some pre-entered information. You can then either choose to fill out the form and send it in or you can logg on to their homepage and do you taxes there or you can simply send an SMS to confirm that all the pre-entered information was correct.
It's a bit more complicated for companies but we're getting there. And all free of charge. Don't think anyone ever considered that the citizens should pay for it. If Skatteverket wants money/information they get to pay for it themselves.

In this case be happy you don't live in Sweden where even drawings are people and where the possession of pictures of cartoon characters portrayed in sexual situations are considered child pornography...

In sweden you can get a so called twin-card (not sure if that is the correct english term). It's a sim-card with the same phone number as the original. You have to choose which one you want to get calls on but you can call using both and more importantly you can use the data transfer on both.
Costs around $5/month, if I had a tablet this is what I would be using.

Children in USA has never had them in school. No rights, only obligations. It's an violation of Convention on the Rights of the Child, article 12. Stating that child has the right to express themselves. USA and Somalia is the only two countries within the UN that has not signed the agreement.

Remember a story of a kid who got suspended for wearing a pepsi t-shirt in school during a photo op for Coca Cola. Might have been vice versa.
Ain't that great though? We force you to participate and earn money of your face and punish you if you don't comply.

You have been missing out. I used to hate the windows-key as well, pressing it in games and what not but I'm now at the point that if I had to chose betwene an model-m and the windows-key model-m would lose. And that's despite me liking the model-m. The windows key have upped my productivity, every time you need to move your hands from the keyboard you lose. :)
My most common use is win+e for file explorer, win+d for showing the desktop, win+r to display the run program dialog.

Coool, a coffin with wifi. Gotto get me one of them when I die. :)

Interresting stats but "citation needed".

Actually it's not as good as that. You don't need passports when moving betwine countries but you do need passport or id inside a country. That's right, we traded the hassel of having to show passport once at the border for joy of needing to prove our identity whenever the police feel like it. Might not happen that often in Sweden but I bet that the Romani in France doesn't have it that good.

Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela...?
One of my school teachers once said something that I have kept close to my heart. People who have the capacity to start a military revolt seldom wants to hand over the power to a democraticly elected leader. It has happened time and time again.
