All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Eye for an eye, or turn the other cheek?
Sony-Ericsson for me (T200 previously, now T630, if you're interested). oh, and it depends on the circumstance. If it's a light thing I turn the other cheek. If somebody does something I sort of despise, I discommunicate them (never speak with them again). If somebody ruins my future life, it's eye for an eye.
Nokia for me. Patriotism, you understand. (Well, Finns and Estonians do have common roots. )
I keep my phone with me 24/7. It gives me a chance to communicate with my friends and relatives everywhere, and it is cheaper than regular phones. I can also use it to read e-books, listen to music, play games, etc. And besides, everyone I know has a mobile phone, why shouldn't I? I've literally lived half my life with one or another mobile phone.
Yes, it is. Mobile phones do not need to have a fixed fee you'd have to pay each month here. And, if I want to call someone, they most likely have a mobile phone, so it'd be cheaper to call there than on their normal phone, or from my normal phone to a mobile phone.

Dito here, almost entirely flat rate. 10.50 euros including phone, for up to 60 hours a month calling
Needless to say, this isn't a usual out-of-the-store thing .
We just set up our VoIP box. 16? base rate, 10? for internet (flat), 10? for phone (flat). That's about 30? less per month than what we payed before...
Re still images / video... I prefer video for just about everything except desktop wallpaper. Much more expressive than still images.
Social democrats or Conservatives? (You know, we Germans didn't knew the answer to that one. )
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

Very much social democrats. Conservative people have the tendency to keep stuff the way it used to be a while ago, which is the way things worked back then. Problem is, they don't work that way right now and they neither will.
Left or right? (interpret in whichever way you like it)
Maths alone is a bit too dry for me, but applied to science, its quite elucidating. Nothing is shorter and more precise than expressions like f(x)VxE[N;0<x<40]

Carpe Diem or Carpe Noctem?
Carpe Diem. Easier to see in the day, plus less sleepy.
