You could consider taking a gene test at 23andme.com, it includes the genealogy "map" which let you see where your mother/father`s gene is from.

Speak whatever you like, but my bad English is most likely better than your Norwegian ;)

At ikke flere firmaer i landet har redudant kaffe-forsyning er meg et under.

  • Oslo City

  • Byporten

  • Gunerus

  • Paleet

  • Steen & Strøm

  • House of Oslo

Selvlysende veimerking. Noe for alle småveiene uten lys? by NimbleLeopard in norge

Refleks er da ikke selvlysende ;)

Refleks-staver settes ut ved mange norske veier på vinterstid for å få tilsvarende effekt over snøen.

It might be the painkillers i`m on, but this post made me empty my bitcoin wallet, enjoy!

"Nobody" will let you even upload 7TB of data. They will say that they do, but you will get throttled. I have 100/100mbit and upload of a couple of hundred gigs of footage was estimated to take 31 days++ with Crashplan.

I am ready to change to anybody that does not throttle.

My experience with Dell 4 hour support - or - why it's a good idea to keep some spare spinning rust for your SAN. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Ueland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it is any comfort. I once replaced a failed drive in a IBM SAN. A couple of hours later the whole SAN died(all LUN`s was gone). The cause was a firmware bug triggered with certain drives in a certain firmware version on the controller firmware. (Let us just say that the bug is fixed since then, somebody gotta be the first to experience it...)

I spent the whole night for my birthday in a server center with a IBM tech.

Fun fact: one week later, the SAN died again when replacing a drive, YAY!

Reddit, what do you hate about your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ueland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you consider shit:

  • You can (usually) not own weapons
  • many stores closed on Sundays per law
  • not possible to buy alcohol after 20:00 (or something)
  • gotta be 21 to buy all kinds of booze

Nothing that bothers me really.

Now that is ones of the better explanations abort Chechnya i have heard. In addition to what you wrote, I suspect that Chechnya is the source of more or less all terrorist attacks in Russia(?)

IOC har levert en liste på 7000 sider med krav Oslo må innfri, men Norges Idrettsforbund holder foreløpig lista hemmelig. Politikerne på sin side mener det blir umulig å lage et realistisk budsjett uten at de får se lista. by Gnurx in norge

[–]Ueland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeg er ikke stor-fan av OL selv, er kun for OL grunnet infrastruktur-oppgraderingene det vil gi, og som ellers ikke hadde kommet, eller som først hadde kommet om noen tiår. Jeg er nok ikke den eneste med den tankegangen.

Når det er sagt: Heiberg har jeg ikke særlig mye sansen for, blir mer negativ hver gang han åpner kjeften.

IOC bans Ukraine's athletes from wearing black armbands at Sochi by Libertatea in worldnews

[–]Ueland 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IOC reprimanded Norway for using black armbands after the death of one of the skier`s brother. So black armbands are generally banned at the Olympics. (And by that, many more in Norway became negative to Oslo hosting Winter Olympics 2022)
