While "unamerican" in its normal meaning probably would signify something negative, "unswedish" ("osvensk", as in something or someone being "osvenskt") is oddly enough quite often used in a positive way here in (you guessed it) Sweden.

No, no, no. It should obviously be "Bong". And while they're at it, maybe change to logo to some form of star shaped leaf. I think that really would raise Microsofts credibility.

I too would put in a word for the NSLU. The Sheevaplug is obviously superior if you can get hold of it, but the NSLU doesn't do a bad job at all. I have one running Debian Lenny on a 1TB drive with lighttpd, rtorrent, nfs etc. Works like a charm unless you have like a dozen torrents running.

Submission + - French Assembly rejects three strikes bill

An anonymous reader writes: The French Assembly has rejected the Three Strikes bill which would allow ISPs to cut off users found to have been downloading protected content after two warnings. The story, in French from Le Monde, is here: http://www.lemonde.fr/technologies/article/2009/04/09/le-parlement-rejette-le-projet-de-loi-creation-et-internet_1178838_651865.html#ens_id=1162478 Use the fish to translate. Summary, the Sarcozy administration can go back with a new draft for approval by both chambers or try to get upper house approval of a softer version without the cutoff passed by the lower house.
