debate: will we be criminals?

This Thursday the students at Infomedia are arranging a debate about whether the new intellectual property laws in Norway will make us criminals. I’d go, but we’ve got a department seminar at Voss.

how not to sell train tickets

NSB has one of those pay-more-than-it-costs-to-make-an-intercontinental-call phone numbers for buying their train tickets! OK, they probably use the money to cut waiting time to a minimum, I generously assumed, but no, the estimated waiting time is 16 minutes, and when I press […]
