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 peo…

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 tol…

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…

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 again…

An example where the FBI did just that in the UK: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/10/08/fbi_indymedia_raids/

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 th…

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, e…

> Order of magnitude Are general purpose operating systems really that inefficient? I've thought about "boot into JVM" before, and I think it's enticing for technologists since it'…

> specialized apps have a lot to gain from running on more specialized platforms Guess there could be some gains, but a lot? Enough to bother with? What about hardware support?

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…

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 …

If you willingly put your name on something, you have editorial responsibility.

Isn't that a tad black and white?

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 the…

I'm a long time Debian user and always use apt-get, but I just used the USS for the first time to buy Sword & Sworcery to have something to play for the holiday. Painless purchase …

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 …
