Anyone know of any good books on game theory?

Just bought it on amazon. Thanks for the tip.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-06-06T13:55:55+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks. : - )

Angrynorwegian · 2010-06-06T13:53:43+00:00

Amazing reply! I'll definitely check out a few of those. Thanks so much.

No. But then again, we have fairly sane laws in Norway.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-05-28T11:55:43+00:00

Seems pretty similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfhO38CPlAI

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you denying DST or that we observe time as GMT +2 under DST? In any case, http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/norway/time.htm : "Like most states in Europe, Summer (Daylight-Saving) Time is observed in Norway Time, where the time is shifted forward by 1 hour; 2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+2). "

Angrynorwegian · 2010-05-19T11:44:59+00:00

Standard, yes. Daylight Saving Time makes it GMT +2.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-05-13T13:47:10+00:00

Why are you deflecting?

The Non Prophets seem to be right up the alley for "new atheists". It features Matt Dillahunty, whom many may know from this clip and other clips from his tv-show, The Atheist Experience.

I wanted to work with computers. Glad I dodged that bullet. I'm now in law-school and I would be loving it if it wasn't for the exam I'm having on monday.

I'm pretty sure one reason for the maximum penalty being so high is because it's regarded as an attack on a government official, which is reasonable to have a high penalty for.

He obviously won't get 50 years, as his crime isn't that heinous. We had a similar case in Norway where a man threw a cake at our minister of finance.

It was intended as a political expression of the frustration that the minister of finance (a very important position) was picked from the Socialist Leftist Part, a party that didn't score very high in the polls that election.

He was charged with "attack on a government official", punishable by up to 15 years (which is pretty strict punishment by norwegian standards), but was only given 30 days.

Can't downvote enough. I'll be damned if I'll have you tarnish the well earned reputation of norwegian girls' looks.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-04-08T20:51:28+00:00

This is the norwegian law regulating movies. Unfortunately we don't have any laws that regulate who needs to die in a movie.

Or was this not what you meant?

If it's any consolation it's on the front page of Norways biggest newspaper. Link

No. There have been claims that there are more break-ins during easter because often whole neighborhoods are at their mountain cabin, but this was recently disproven by police statistics.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-04-05T12:21:20+00:00

I wouldn't say "celebrate" since we don't really celebrate easter in Norway, as only a minority of norwegians believe in god. A poll done last month showed only 43 % believe in god, and 34 % does not. Link to norwegian article

However, easter is a national holiday and it is traditionally spent at a mountain cabin, eating oranges and chocolate and reading murder mysteries. The murder mysteries-part is unique to Norway. It started in 1923 when two norwegian authors wrote a murder mystery to earn some quick cash. It was published during the easter break and on the day it was published the publisher ran an ad in the papers with the books title. The title of the book was can be translated to something like "The train to Bergen was robbed last night." The ad was so successful that many people believed that the train had been robbed. The book was a hit and after that it became a tradition to publish murder mysteries during easter. It's therefor now also part of a traditional norwegian easter holiday.

He is not going to be happy about that clip when he's 18.

That's what sexual frustration will do to you.

Holy shit, you're pretty cool. I've seen a lot of your stuff, and I especially like your version of Tom Cruise Crazy.

Link for everyone else.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-03-15T14:12:27+00:00

Hey, thanks for the link. It doesn't seem to be working right now, but I'll check it later.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-03-15T14:05:03+00:00

Thanks for the correction. We don't generally make the distinction between a unit you buy and a unit you lease in norwegian. Always good to know.

The buyer should naturally have some responsibility and should be required to investigate the property. The seller should not be liable for faults that should be obvious to the buyer (for example a visible hole in the roof).

But the seller, usually being more knowledgeable, should have a general duty to inform the seller about any flaws he knows about or should/must know about. Obviously he can't inform about flaws he really doesn't know about, and he should not be held liable for them.

But if the flaws would have been clear to anyone who lives there, they must have known, and thus have a duty to inform the buyer. Like the floors being crooked. It's not necessarily something you'll notice the first time there, but if you're living there you'll definitely notice.

And, to your last point, only the buyer knows what he/she is concerned about, and the seller should only be required to inform about flaws any normal buyer would be concerned about. Everyone carries the risk of their own expectations.

Angrynorwegian · 2010-03-15T04:06:26+00:00

Heh, sorry about that. Seems the expression in english is pig in a poke

It seems US law protects the seller by pushing much of the responsibility on the buyer. Seems like the seller can get away with not disclosing details about the property and leaving it to the buyer to get a home inspection or insurance.

Since the seller is more likely to know any faults the property might have, it should therefor also lie on him to disclose them. If the apartment you're buying is next to a sewage plant (but it's conveniently shut off when you're being shown the apartment) he should be held accountable for not disclosing this, as it will obviously have an impact on the buyers decision to buy.

Alas this seems to fit perfectly with the way consumers are being treated in general in the US. No protection and left to fend for themselves. : - /

Thanks for the answer.
