A clear overreach by the FBI, very clumsily handled. Also not all that interesting to the locals. Try issues where lives or large sums of money are involved.

You don't think it's true? Have you in your lifetime ever experienced your government go against US interests, even when it's very clear that doing so is in the interest of the people they govern?

Switzerland is not in the EU. They're not even an EEA member.

You have to realize that small countries in the west, like Sweden, Denmark and Norway, are de facto ruled by the US. All important decisions have to go by the embassy, and when told to jump, they will ask how high.

It's always a bit amusing hearing outsiders refer to Scandinavia as 'socialist'. This is very far from the truth. In Norway, the Labour party has been in power for much of the last hundred years, seems reasonable that it would be quite the

I think that's a very good point. When I was growing up in Norway, the 'others' were always far away. We were all so similar, in so many ways, it was very difficult to pit us against each other. After 30-40 years of immigration, we're now m

Ever expanding bureaucracy is a problem, and the EU has a track record of turning several truly idiotic ideas into law. But people discussing EU regulations should be aware that the level of bullshit and outright lies coming out of the UK p

Looking at the source for the page, the HTML is clean and there is nothing particularly fancy or out of the ordinary about the CSS. It does use semantic HTML (menu, section, nav, etc.), but that shouldn't be a problem. I'm really curious as

Just an observation on my part. Americans who call themselves libertarian often seem to be reflexively pro-corporate, even when it flies right in the face of their professed ideals.

Yeah, Beastie Boys are huge, but Eminem is a superstar.

Regarding color, I think you're at least a decade late. Eminem released The Slim Shady LP in 1999. Then you got Beastie Boys, Aesop Rock, El-P, Atmosphere, etc.

I'm always amazed at what Americans let slide of governmental abuse as long as big private companies profit. I find it difficult to comprehend that even hard core libertarians will defend laws like these.

Because $HOME/bin is in the path? I always put stuff in $HOME/bin, $HOME/opt, $HOME/etc, etc. if its something that would work equally well mounted somewhere else. In this case it would just require a Linux with VirtualBox installed.

Have you tried the Scala Worksheet for Eclipse? Pretty cool. I see that the recently released IDEA 12 has a similar feature (but so far incomplete and undocumented according to their bug tracker).

As the first couple of comments on that page says, it's a high chance that this is due to problems with power management in the open-source Radeon driver. I've been running Debian and Ubuntu on lots of different laptops the last fifteen yea
