When did the GOP take over the Swedish government?
So basically, conservative governments are the same all over: ignore the law while claiming to be the champions of law 'n order and doing so when the laws especially benefit the average person.

Any place I've ever worked that had fear as the overall culture was as effed-up as it gets in their operational polices and procedures and head-firmly-up-arse supervisors.
The places that I've worked that embrace innovation, progress and realistic polices and rock solid testing processes had no fear.
The report has to be wrong! Everyone knows that free market capitalism provide the best product and services! Even though the damn socialist/commie countries in Europe and Asia have faster and cheaper broadband, it's just a fluke!
A fluke I tell you! Ignore the man behind the curtain!
The general art of politics is that one has dirt of some kind on ones opponents, but yes, when it's the spy agencies, yer fucked.
We're rapidly becoming worse than the USSR and joining Putin's Russia in our level of internal spying.
Becoming? Oh we past that milestone LONG ago. Remember the 4th Amendment? Civil Rights in general? Dead and buried back in the 1980s.
We need this or something like it. I'm no computer scientist, yet I was able roughly follow the idea and concept of this proposed configuration, which means to me it follows the basic tenet of elegance and simplicity and thus often robust as well.
I also like CB'c (above) enhanced proposal.
My Steam account is strictly manual. When I want access, only THEN do I launch the gateway program. The rest of the time is is not even so much as a TSR.
When done, I make sure it and any associated lurking TSRs are shut down.
There is too much goddamn shit talking to their motherships as it is.
I was talking to a guy who buys junk cars and he has to be able to verify titles and the sellers. There is a database called PublicData where you can do pretty much the same thing. There are a host of others as well, some free, some with fees.
Name, SS, address, cars owned, license tags, driver's license number, the works.
We are ALL, already bagged and tagged. It is already far worse than you think.
The last time I was in Austin I saw that it was no longer a desirable place to live.
SXSW turned it into a pretentious douchery in the last decade and tech jobs are driving the cost of living up for everyone.
I'm happy for their growth, but it's off my list of cool small cities. And "a better Silicon Valley?" Big warning right there.
"...In the end, its Walmart's fault. We have no one to blame but ourselves."
I don't think so.
In Sept of 2010, Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic bill on Tuesday to end tax deductions enjoyed by companies that close their U.S. plants and move overseas.
The future of computing? That's easy.
Break away from the mainframe terminal model we have gone back to and embracing the whole damn point of the PC that made it popular to begin with: inde-fucking-depedence.
Mark my words. Cloud computing is just one big disaster/catastrophe of the death and destruction kind from falling out of favor.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong but mankind's history says you can pretty much bank on it.
Now for today's daily hack: The Hello Kitty empire was hacked for about 3 million accounts. No joke. This is real news.
"And those that recall Grasshopper have forgotten the NASA vertical-takeoff and landing rocket, the DC-X which did pretty much everything the Grasshopper did but twenty years earlier."
You have made me sad today remembering this.
Nonetheless, it's always good to remind people just how far behind we are and that much of our current super cool tech was created years and decades ago.
