Comment Re:Two articles from Financial Times (Score 2, Informative) 299

As far as I have understood it (being a norwegian and following the case very loosely) , Timber Hill never filed suit. It was the Oslo Stock Exchange who discovered it and sent a report to the ( Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway ) who read it and sent the report on to the Ministry of Finance. Said ministry sent it to The National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime in Norway who then sent it to the police asking for an indictment.

The courts then found them guilty.

Comment No windows? (Score 1) 367

I certainly don't have any windows on my cubicle.

In Norway it is mandatory for all offices to have a natural source of light (e.g. windows) within a certain distance. If you work somewhere this is not possible, say a factory floor, there are strict rules about the quality of the light. Intensity, colors etc.

Comment Re:Trying this in Norway (Score 1) 353

Yes it was. I don't remember the exact phrasing. My friend's argument is in the lines of:

-You said it can play games
-You said I could put other OSs on it
I can no longer put other OSs on it, so my machine is broken. If I choose to not update it to keep the other OSs-option, I can no longer play games in the future.
Please provide me with one that works as advertised.

Comment I own. (Score 1) 582

In the US, maybe. I live in Norway and here it is very common to own.
Owning a home means I save about $800 a month compared to renting a similar flat (subject to change, as the interest rates are going back up.) Every time I pay the bank I also buy a little bit more of my flat from the bank. Giving the same amount to a landlord ... leaves me nothing.

People expect a life free of disease,

I have had a few courses in medicine (in Norway, yay) and I must say: After I read a book on how much stuff could go wrong in my body I am amazed I'm ever healthy at all!
