How does that explain the fact that I had to manually type in the above quote, and I'm running Windows 7?

Pasting in an empty textbox. Typing first, then pasting. All works just fine for me. Chrome 8.0.552.215 on Windows 7 64-bit.

Testing a link

Yep, works just fine in Chrome 8.0.552.215 on Windows 7.

MechWarrior 2? Yeah, that was a good one.

I remember that game for its red/green 3D mode. Fun :-)

Good observation. So it was a circus act. Somewhat entertaining though.
 

Reminds me of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Maox0X8EELY :-)

How did an Islandic member of parliament get access to the Swedish police records in the first place? This is the part that the OP refers to saying "In most civilized countries that would be cause for an investigation into the police".

Anecdote:
The sister of my former boss works at Porsche. She hosts Americans who who personally fly in to pick up their cars (they have a vacation then get the car shipped to the US).

They are shocked and overwhelmed by dense yet fast traffic.

It is a pretty funny picture for any German :-)
