This might sound to some like an oxymoron of epic dimensions, but then again, I bet you're not feeling the effects of this policy since you're not living in Norway. The interesting thing about this policy, is that it actually have come to pass.

The magic sauce you ask? The secret is having a Minister of Government Administration and Reform, where the minister, Ms. Grande Røys have a Political Advisor that happens to be one http://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J%C3%B8rund_Leknes, a card-carrying geek if there ever was one;

Top 10 finalist in Norwegian programming championship, elected replacement representative to the legislative assembly since 2001, Opensource advocate and also bronze finalist of 2v2 StarCraft championship in 2000. He's even on Facebook. Did I mention he's probably younger than a lot of you guys, at 25?

Read this one over once more and cross out everything that would not be possible in the US, and you'll see.. Garbage In/Garbage Out. it holds true also for government (internet+tubes, anyone?).

I had to buy more underpants

The airline lost my luggage... it contained 4 pairs of boxers. Previously my rate limiting step for laundry was towels. I have 10 towels, therefore I can go 10 days without doing laundry, but this loss of 4 pairs of shorts created a new rate limit... 8 days wort of shorts! Since American doesn't seem to be finding my luggage back any time soon, I had to buy underpants. Now I'm afraid of the gnomes... Phase 1, Steal the Underpants. Phase 2, ?. Phase 3, Profit!

Unfortunately they also have my VAIO...
