Comment We have LED traffic lights in Sweden (Score 0) 839

In fact, we have had them for several years. I know that they have them in Norway as well. In my experience they never get fully snow covered, because they are protected by protruding tubes. Sometimes half-tubes if you need visibility from underneath. See, for example (maybe not the best angle): http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:Led_traffic_lights.jpg

This may be famous last words and all.. but falling for an official looking email is stupid. It is not stupid for someone who knows nothing about the Internet to do so, but if you know anything about how scams and/or email work it is a sign that you may be dense. There are real dangers online. Dangers such as hackers, DDOSers, getting your WLAN or router eavesdropped, DNS poisoning, etc. Fake emails with an authentic logo (ooooh!) are not one of them.

I don't normally criticize random people online, but maybe he is not suitable to be the director of something.

I have a friend who is Indian/Pakistani (but with a Swedish passport). He is stopped by customs and strip searched more or less every time he flies to the US. That cannot be a coincidence, he must fit some profile.

Of course you can still sneak weapons on board. I had no problem getting a small knife past security. Had it attached to the rest of my keys. With that and a tooth brush, I figure you can make a nice shiv :). Or perhaps swallow explosives in a condom. Or make some space inside a laptop. Or get a doctor's certificate that you have a metal plate in your body (quite common). Or get breast implants, but fill them with explosives instead of silicone (then wait a month, so you don't have any smell). Or, if you are a guy, get a stomach implant. Guard #1 to guard #2, "Hey, suspicious - a slightly fat guy. In the US!" I expect someone who actually knows what he is talking about to have a thousand more suggestions.
