    As a rule I only buy frozen vegetables as they don't get sprayed with preservations to stay pretty in the store.

    That's just because you don't have any sense of humor. I find complaining about HN (especially the "whaa to much noise") on HN highly ironic.

    I wish more people would realized how cheap and easy it is for spammers to break captchas and how extremely hostile captchas are towards people with disabilites. Deaf-blind people …

    The reference for the article gives 404 and physorg doesn't seem to have an article covering the subject. Heres the original paper: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/ho…

    In my school (a Swedish University) we sometimes have to turnin our papers via Urkund which is similar to TurnIn, although we don't sign anything in doing so. I read that I can opt…

    I've got no idea but re-coining (or I guess pre-coining) the term web 2.0 into something that doesn't make me cry a bit on the inside every time I or others mention it is pretty hi…

    In Sweden I'd say we almost always use Visa and to a lesser extent master card. If a website doesn't want to deal with credit cards, I think a local version of paypal https://www.p…

    The HN title and in parts the wording of the article is misleading, even if it's later cleared up in the article. For them to refuse to retain data would imply it's somehow require…

    Not only that but they are only four people of a much larger swarm maintaining the pirate bay. Even if they go to jail it wouldn't mean anything to the site being up or not.

    Somehow I doubt it matters one bit how you use reverse psychology (or don't), they'll have sex anyways. It might work fine for things like "Walk against red at a crossing", but wit…

    Yeah it raised an eyebrow for me, it's an interesting cultural phenomenon. As a Sweed I've never had to think about healthcare, it's just there and I take it for granted. Maybe I s…

    There was a guest lecturer at my university who gave a talk on distributed development who claimed there's been studies that have shown developers don't tend to get happier the mor…

    I wasn't at all implying it's the only option but rather that it's an option. I don't think you can entirely avoid discussions in that format especially if you are discussing non-p…

    I'm sorry but I don't understand the rationale behind that statement and I wouldn't voice my oppinion if it wasn't you've been upmodded so much. So I'm curious, if you do not parta…

    This might be a bit cynical of me but I'm quite convinced that if a rich foreigner wanted to become an American citizen that wouldn't be much of a problem. Steve Jobs for example g…

    I've found that Wikipedias references are usually really good and then just using wikipedia and wikibooks to become familiar with the subject enough too investigate further is quit…

    The issue is far more complicated than just file sharing, the issue of file sharing has simply brought the anonymizing services to light to the general public. Sweden recently pass…

    I'm not familiar with how rails has been developed but I'm guessing the explosion is due to there previously only being a small group of people with commit access, as opposed to a …

    It's not illegal to pay for an anonymizing service in most parts of the world including Sweden.

    If you want a printed one (which was my first thought) reserve it by sending them an email with "Reserve WTM" as the topic as per the instructions: http://informationarchitects.jp/…
