The Swedes are such a cold people. Even the Danes consider them distant and formal (not to mention a bit condescending).
Maybe, but many of the women have really hot bodies!

I'm sure in a storm Steve would reroute all power to the reality distortion field and it would be all Sunny and a flat sea for them.
Isn't Darwin further up north?
not according to Apple
and bringing just an apple for the trip... yes, Darwin
Note that if you want to get Amazon's 70% royalty instead of 35%, you can't offer it somewhere else for cheaper. I am not certain if that means you can't give it away as well, but I'd make sure.
And 35% in my view is a bit low to offer it as a way of donating. Although of course the volume of sales may be larger and you probably reach customers you'd otherwise not reach.

So politics is really hard? Explains the quality of the candidates this year. .
At least both candidates can read.....
Let us know when you successfully run the largest software company on the planet.
Let us know when Ballmer does _successfully_....
Wow, first this thread goes on and on about which fast food restaurant everyone prefers, then people complain about the obese women.
I just love this about Slashdot
The way I understood it is that the liability shift does not work that way. The least secure is liable. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMV
The supposed increased protection from fraud has allowed banks and credit card issuers to push through a 'liability shift' such that merchants are now liable (as from 1 January 2005 in the EU region) for any fraud that results from transactions on systems that are not EMV capable.[2]
If a merchant does not support chip and the issuer (your bank) and the acquirer (bank of the merchant do), the merchant is liable.
If the acquirer does not support EMV (aka Chip and pin), that bank is liable. Etc.
So only when the merchant keeps an old terminal that only supports magswipe despite his bank and the bank (/card issuer) of the customer supporting EMV and the chip, is the merchant liable.
So Mitt Romney will get us to Mars first? Color me confused
Sending Mitt Romney to Mars: Brilliant plan! The benefits to the economy will even outweigh the cost of the trip
hard to tell, but to me it seems that the big difference is that with netboot, you boot from the network, whereas this boots locally, gets a boot image, puts it to local disk and boots that. So you boot locally, just first get the bootimage over the network and store it.
It looks in my view similar to http://simpc.nl/ Although SimPC (at least way back, when I worked on it) always booted locally and just got a new new image when a it was newer. Considering that they mention it may be 'synchronized version of a locally cached version' it may be argued that it is similar.
I would say, hard to defend this patent. But I am not really an expert in patent laws
Nice, but most people are better of using Pearls for that purpose, rather then Perl....
On the other hand, if there was a CPAN module ladies::in::distress, I think that would help a lot of Slashdotters!
Same here, the service of Xs4all dropped a bit over the years, but their prices got ludicrous. Switched from Xs4all 8/1mbps (65Euro/month) to Tweakdsl 20/2mbps (20Euro/month)
Tweak turned out to have excellent support and an even better news server than Xs4all
