So stop jabbering like what you say is important, correct, better or whatever.

Of course it's an excuse for it.

Yeah. I too wonder what black people would had done in general and if the person was white.

But I guess it would be racist trying to figure out because surely we're all individuals and not just ethnicities ..

Well.. as long as we're not white.

Russia? The middle-east? Africa?

Since you're AC I guess you won't read this but whatever.

Here in "my city" Örebro they have "always" claimed that they plow the cycle (and pedestrian?) parts of the road first and for cars later. In my opinion that haven't been done but that's the claim. And I've guess that was because they felt being able to bicycle was important and possibly because it's also unprotected people.

However the current ruler-ship have decided to "genus plow" the streets which supposedly mean exactly the same thing! But what is news to me but supposedly the case is that only women ride a bike and only men drive a car, so it's unfair to prioritize the men (I didn't knew it was a local idea what to start with here) and but it's not to prioritize women so hence bicycle lanes should be cleared up first.

One of the two (one male one female) leader of the Swedish environmentalist party which possibly is behind the stuff above is also the leading force for the mass-immigration, well-fare for anyone, abandoning of law & order, borders and likely nationality too. They don't get many votes (about 7%) and they rule the government in minority with the social democrats (for a total of less than 38%) but those two together think it's very important to be possible to rule in a minority because none of the "non-racist" parties can come up with a majority government together and to have disputes, do sacrifices and come up with majority decisions in a parliament is so horrible. The "racist" party is likely ok to rule with anyone to get influence but that won't do it because the they are just as racist as the rest of the world.

Other "fresh" initiatives is that while sex is a social construction it's very important to see what sex is at what working places and in what positions and who's staying home with the children.

And while it's totally unimportant and irrelevant that immigrants commit more crimes, rape, terrorist travels, fail school and such it's very important to see whatever they too reach the same positions in society!

Because individuality doesn't matter. Only sex and race do for the anti-sexist and anti-racists.. Well, as long as it's about positive discrimination for those who can't pass on their own merits. However it's totally not relevant when the outcome would relate to anything negative for a "minority group" (a group individuals supposedly given a group belonging due to ethnicity, sex and religion.)

I guess in my world it's just affirmative action and censorship and positive discrimination.

I'm against discrimination but I'm just fine with women picking medicinal research over technological and the fact that people from Somalia have less competitive work experience and education than the native born people.

I've checked what people think about the various capitals (more Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen rather than Helsinki) and where one should go (I was more curious about living than visiting but whatever.)

For Stockholm I think what is mentioned is Skansen, Gamla stan and the Gustav Vasa museum.
http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/
http://www.old-town-stockholm....
http://www.skansen.se/en/kateg...

Whatever it would be my picks I don't know.

I haven't been to many museums. I've been at both Skansen and Vasa but I don't remember much from it and I don't really see what's so interesting with an old wooden ship =P.

Sometimes museums has had free entry here in Sweden depending on who's in charge of the government so if that's the case I guess that's a nice opportunity to go visit some :)

I can understand the idea of visiting places for education (maybe more so for kids? If you got any there's places like Tom Tits Experiment which may be worth a visit too, likely more so! ;D http://www.tomtit.se/english/I...) and culture & history too even though here in Sweden for whatever reason the in fashion thing is to deny it / act like it doesn't matter but I assume most of the world don't and think it's interesting.

I know while I think the middle-east would be the least place on the planet I wanted to live in and possibly visit too .. (maybe along with parts of Africa though stunning scenery may be nice) what would be of some interest there and in Egypt is exactly the things IS want to destroy and remove because they don't like different cultures either / want no traces of them / want no-one to care.

This is so fucking nasty and obviously ruin things forever:

The few things worth bothering about ..

Anyway, not a Museum guy. In Sweden I would rather want to travel some rural road either just with agriculture landscape and vast views or through and wooden avenue or places where animals has grassed on the sides or something such. Or venture out on any lake or in the case of Stockholm the archipelago.
(Or I guess for some others maybe up in the northern mountain regions, if you where long up north maybe visit Boden and http://www.rodbergsfortet.com/... ?), possibly Gotland and Visby.

In Norway people would take about the fjords and hiking in the mountains there too, in Denmark you've likely got the same agriculture landscape and Bornholm & Hammershus to visit instead for instance.

On the lake side we've got lots of lakes and Vänern is the largest lake in EU and our biggest, Mälaren which sit left of Stockholm is our third largest but it's also large ..

If one wasn't in Stockholm I guess there's lots too see at various places. Anyway, I don't know what's best. And it's likely ok to not visit anything beyond just being in the city considering there's so much water IN the city too =P, so at least there's all that to take in regardless :)

Enjoy your stay :)

I could make it easy for me and go the nationalistic route of any country/culture and say how maybe they just don't want to turn it into a shit-hole which would be anything else than what it is because anything else than what you have is considered a shit-hole.

Anyway, to be fair:
Wikipedia: "According to a poll by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center, 6% of respondents considered themselves Muslims.[2] According to Reuters, Muslim minorities make up a seventh (14%) of Russia's population.[3] Muslims constitute the nationalities in the North Caucasus residing between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea: Circassians, Balkars, Chechens, Ingush, Kabardin, Karachay, and numerous Dagestani peoples."

My impression from what I've seen lately is that there's quite a bit of Muslims in Russia and if you check RT they write all the time about racism and anti-Muslim movements and such in Europe so I get the impression that they are against that / pro tolerance (because really my impression of RT is that they want to point out how everyone else is bad and Russia is good ..)

On the other hand Russia doesn't buy into the globalism and idea of a country/people not owning their natural resources or not having the right to decide how they want their society to work.

So yeah. Maybe in Russia a Muslim is supposed to accept Russian society and obey to the same laws and maybe if nothing else they want to set their own laws on homosexuals (I live in Sweden and while Sweden is much further on there the fact is that Sweden have just like the very last year or so gone into feminism extreme and last couple of years been extremely pro-immigrants / deny any flaws in such a policy and maybe just for what? two? Decades been more ok with gays and the church less so. The idea of religious freedom is just little over 60 years old. I assume Bible studies was part of the school at least little over 100 years ago, I don't really know. .. so yeah. Russia may be behind there if you think all of that is a good thing but we don't really deserve to be super proud of it and view it as it's something which has always been there because it haven't.
And to be fair didn't USA more or less invented freedom? ;D (No? Someone feel free to write down some points, I'm interested and don't really mean and say that USA was first but I respect it being a thing from the very beginning over there and taken seriously.)
Religious free in writing since 1789(?)
I used to be proud of the freedom of my country but I've lost that belief. And I'm sad for that and don't really know what to do against it (because it's true one have to fight for it but fighting for it put yourself at risk and I don't really feel I deserve or should have to take a risk for the right of being free. I want to take it for granted. It's fucked up.))

I assume one doesn't necessarily know all that but if nothing else for those who care somewhat I guess they should know they are behind OpenGL at least.

And kinda anyone who cares about computers to any degree of seriousness really should know what Direct X is too.

So basically it says a multi-platform 3D graphics API competitor to Microsoft 3D graphics API announces their competitior against Microsoft newest (and rather hyped possibly "revolutionary step"?) 3D graphics API.

Where DirectX 12 3D-part is supposed to be competition to Mantle which is AMDs API where they lower abstraction and CPU usage in an attempt to get more performance out of the GPU and more CPU power left for others.

DirectX handles more than just 3D graphics though, such as joystick input and sound too.

His/her post was likely about the "relative distance" and "closer."

If it would be X light-years to the center in time and space and the galaxy would be 700 million along in development towards our side (X-n or whatever) "it should had looked 700 million years old" by that time.

Whereas if we looked passed the center it would still be .. oh wait, no, I possibly get it, to be able to see it that far it would had to be even older? .. anyway, the point I wanted to make is that if it was 700 million years along the development but "had moved in the other direction" it would rather had been X+n away and the idea was likely that that would had explained the red shift. .. but I guess the light would have had to travel longer then to reach us and that would possibly had sorted it out. (Is it about variations in red-shift too? Because isn't the red-shift how decide on the distance? Both distance and composition? I assume that would be more than one wavelength?

1) Flood the Netherlands.
2) Have it come up again.
3) ???
4) Profit!

So they sent a death threat.

But what did they REALLY want to say?

^ This isn't funny. It's informative.

Or well, without being a question it would be.

(Was never posted back when I wrote it due to cool-down period. Old tab.)

Linux doesn't have to be either.

Assume there's a proprietary Nvidia driver.

Anyway using someone else got themselves to blame.

It's ok to demand specific hardware and software requirements.

I'm not convinced.

Snobs who always have argued they for whatever reason don't need games because supposedly that ruin their creativity / other software somehow blended together with a company which argued about the same and didn't bothered about games.

Most don't run OS X (of course they don't run Linux either but in the case of the desktop the OS X likely is kinda "meh" too.)

Rather humanist.

No need for it to be ignorant and in denial.
