All of these wats are wrong.

Here is mine, to you, from me: http://soundcloud.com/ironballs/wat

You know this is a movie reference, right?

If you still doubt it head your way to http://github.com/2394157ysajkfhkly5husdafjkasghf which produces an astoundingly familiar 404 message...

Does not seem to be entirely working on Chrome 17 (Win7 64bit), the actual code (which one would put into colorscheme.vim) does not reflect the chosen colors. The code sample however does. To clarify, clicking a "highlight" item and changing its color does not change the hex or terminal color codes. I started by modifying an existing scheme.

Some more information from the press release (which is in Finnish): Elisa, the ISP in question, has has appealed to the Court of Appeal about the issue. They will not go down easily, that is certain. Moreover, Elisa tried to resist this decision in the past, when the initial order was issued in october 2011, but eventually were forced by legal officials to implement the restrictions.

Yes. Military service is compulsory in Finland. About 80% of males undergo military service. The rest is either exempt for various reasons (medical) or opt for a "civil" service in which one is essentially employed somewhere for 12 months with pay coming from the government.

As 80% is quite a high number, most is indeed correct here. Thus you will find that regardless of one's education or background, it is safe to assume he also has military training. (Myself, a Finn, I have a Master of Science in mathematics and also a 2nd lieutenant in the Finnish Air Force.)

Yes! There's even a whole site devoted to the startup scene in Nordic (and Baltic) countries: http://www.arcticstartup.com/

For C# I in fact thought of what is in the above quote and wrote my own: https://github.com/ane/DotCheck

It's not yet very advanced (sometimes the library is a bit messy), but it provides the basic QuickCheck functionality.

What people often miss in Ribbon UIs is that they are in fact very much for the power user. Here are a couple of reasons why:

Every button or command on the Ribbon can be accessed via polymorphic hotkeys. Every command can be accessed as a chain of key presses. There is zero need for mouse usage -- even in PowerPoint.

This is huge. This was not doable in previous versions of Office! There were some commands you could not access via anything else than the menu, and to those of us that are vim users, you know how bad that can be! I do a lot of PowerPoint presentations and besides designing arrows or shapes I have no need for a mouse. And PowerPoint is a WYSIWYG editor!

The other reason is that you can hide the Ribbon. See the screenshots? That chevron symbol (^) means that you can essentially auto-hide the Ribbon and bring it back, while still retaining its usability via hotkeys.

I'm by no means an all-guns-blazing MSFT fanboy, but I need Office at work, and instead of jumping on the silly bandwagon of bashing all that is Ribbon, I found my inner vim user and learnt to god damn power use the hell out of it.

To those that actually need Office daily, I recommend opening it and pressing Alt. Let the funny stuff unfold.

I do not know if it was mentioned in the article as I did not read it fully, I'm Finnish and am sort of tired of reading or hearing about this particular subject, but it is worth mentioning that all Finnish teachers are required to have a Master's degree to qualify as teachers (even kindergarten ones). Since higher education is free (there are no private universities in Finland), the threshold to study to become a teacher is very small, and usually there is quite a surplus of teachers in popular fields, in hard sciences as an example.

Those that select a teaching curriculum in the university spend 1-2 years interning in schools during their studies. Most people end up taking up teaching curricula just because it is a sure way of getting employment especially if one is studying a field in which employment is scarce outside of academia, say, philosophy.

I myself am studying computer science and I plan to enroll in a teaching curriculum should life in academia turn out to be boring, mostly because a) teaching is fun b) it pays relatively well c) a three month paid vacation from June to the end of August is a plus and d) it is a respected profession.
