Yes, there are a lot of immigrants in sweden. All of them that I have met (except for the ones from the E.U) have been productive members of society.
There's the turk system administrator, the iranian who's also going to be a system administrator (once he gets a visa and my employer can actually hire him), the chinese guys, the pakistanians and so on....
Ironically the people from the E.U. that I know have been the people that are actually abusing the system. Like the welshman who is being "burned out" (no, he's not), and the irish guy who keep bouncing between jobs, and there are more people like this.
"Gotland managed to penetrate the defensive measures of Carrier Strike Group Seven undetected and snap several pictures of the USS Ronald Reagan during the December pre-deployment Joint Task Force Exercise 06-2 (JTFEX 06-2) in the Pacific Ocean (probably in the California Operating Areas), effectively "sinking" the aircraft carrier.[10] The exercise was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the US Fleet against modern diesel-electric submarines, which some have noted as severely lacking.[11][12]"
I prefer the name Bachelor Chow myself, though I'd try Soylent as well. I wouldn't want to eat it for every meal but every once in a while I'm in such a hurry that it would be practical to do this for a period.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who instantly thought of Futurama. This does seem like a food product for people who are too lazy to make even a simple meal and clean afterwards.
too lazy, or too busy? I could be doing a bunch of other non-lazy things I much prefer doing instead of cooking, such as coding, exercising, music, reading, etc.
It's not a matter of being lazy. Cooking and eating consumes hours in my day. At least four hours a day, and typically six hrs a day if I get fancy with cooking.
Wow, you need to optimise! I spent less than an hour today cooking and eating a healthy breakfast in the morning, and a healthy dinner (with leftovers) this evening. I bought prepared food for lunch, but it wouldn't have taken me three hours to cook and eat something else...
I really don't understand why the upgrade seems to be so hit and miss between people. My current laptop has been on the same ubuntu install since (at least) 10.04. I've even upgraded to beta versions a couple of times and the only problem I've ever had was when I upgraded to the 12.10 beta and it ran out of disk space in the middle of the install. But that was recoverable.
Of course, this comment might be a trap. There's only one way to find out...
For me, I put on nonstandard software that gets removed. Sometimes software sources aren't preserved--especially if I have messed with GUI configurations.
Likewise, upgrades have always worked for me. I think I took one computer through about 5 consecutive versions without reinstalling it. Maybe it depends on hardware...
I had problems updating from 9.04 to 9.10 -> I remember it messed up my system so bad I had to reinstall it from scratch. After that, i moved to Mint for a while, and then tried Ubuntu again for 11.10 then did the update to 12.04 without any issue. I will try upgrading to 12.10 within the system again this time.
It's because the more customizations a user has done, the more likely they are have to have made a change that is incompatible with the upgrade process. It's the same for any OS. The only mitigation is to allow less customization of the files that get upgraded during an upgrade.
It's not like that on my Nexus 7. I can choose only to use the GPS in the Location services settings, or I can choose to use "Google's location service", which sends information to google.
(disclaimer: I own exactly zero domains and have no experience with either of these. But both of them were highly praised in older GoDaddy threads in the past)

The one month free only applies to hosting. I only use godaddy for dns and recieved the letter without the line about getting credit.
(as a side note, I want to switch away from godaddy but I haven't found a good registrar in europe to transfer to yet, and I only use the domain for remote access to my personal net at the moment so it hasn't really been a high priority. Still, does anyone have any tips?)
I don't know how it works elsewhere but here in sweden they don't check if you're a donor until they have already taken the decision to take you off the respirator ("killing" you either way).
So it's not like the surgeon walks into the ICU, scalpel in hand, looking for anyone too slow to run away.
