I guess that's why Norway has such low corruption. Wasn't it listed as the single least corrupt nation in the world for 2002?

It could have something to do with it. Tax information has been public for a long time, but it has only been on-line the last 4 years or so.
About that listing, I don't know. It could be, but I remember reading somewhere that it's the most corrupt of the Nordic countries. Don't know what year that was though.

My number didn't come up. But damn, my parent's number did - gave their name & address.

in norway, if you know someone's name or even only their phone number, you can easily find out their address, age, income, fortune and how much tax they pay. it's all on the 'net.

In sweden you can get all this, their passport photograph, the names and adressed of their siblings and other relatives, their school grades, criminal record, any letters they've sent to any government agency ever, what weapons they own, if they've got a driver's licence, how much they pay in rent, maps of their properties, or any parking violoations they've acquired.

Of course most of these take a few phone calls.

hmm, since i live overseas right now, i couldn't try it with my phone number. . . but i tried my parents phone number and it didn't work.

Hah! It has my parents' phone number, all right, but it puts their physical location 20 miles north and east of where they're really at. Well, so much for using Yahoo! Maps as a missile guidance system.

If you type in any phone number, it will tell you the name associated with the number.
One doesn't have to try whitepages or anywhere else.
That's not good, I don't think.
Talk about loss of privacy and such, this is an illustration.

Same here, with name or number you can get a hold of information that the Swedes and peeps in Norway do. Just for the record, Finland was yet again the least corrupted 2003... .

What we really need is the GPS location of a person when you type in their cell phone number. (Watch out guys. Your wife knows where you are!)

An all better reason to keep women computer ignorant

Ned, we already have that service . I'm not sure if it's working yet.. IMO I think that's just horrible service.

[Ned]

Pekka, it certainly will put a crimp in debauchery.

[Pekka]

It will.. it is too easy to find out personal information about people in here. I guess we're open society

Funny part, that the largest (or second largest) phone company (cell phones, internet services, big company) actually had a big scandal, including unlawful checkings of peoples calling information and some tappings too It's still under police investigation, and it seems like few thousand citizens were victims. Nice uh?

It was just in papers, that our PM got pissed off, because some stranger obtained the blueprints of his home, lawfully .

Buck,

Your criminal records are public property? I thought when it came to horrible ideas, you guys just couldn't top Systembolaget, but I guess I under-estimated you.
