I was specifically talking about (mis)interpreting and not about the obvious facts that dogs can be trained to sit on cue or be influenced by their handlers.
I don't know how they train the dogs in the US, but here they're trained to sit down if they smell something they're trained to detect. I don't see how that can be misinterpreted, the dog either sits down or doesn't.
Let me feed this troll some popcorn...
You seem to be forgetting the EU is continuing to be the biggest economy in the world, despite the crisis. Enjoy your popcorn.
What exactly makes you think that only nonwhites contribute to being multinational? Do the Turks and the Moroccans not count since they're considered caucasian? What exactly makes you think any country with less (visible) ethnic diversity than the US couldn't possibly be called multinational or multiracial? FWIW, I'm Dutch and I see the multicultural society, as we like to call it, every day.
I agree, the translation doesn't make much sense. I'm Dutch, so here's my translation:
Location notification insufficient for warrant
According to the public prosecution, a notification from an anti theft application on a stolen iPad is insufficient evidence for a search. The owner of a stolen iPad was allegedly told this by the prosecution.
A resident of Hengelo reported his iPad stolen last month. Because the owner had installed an anti theft application on the tablet, he could locate his iPad within hours of the theft, reports TcTubantia (a local newspaper). The residence was known to both the police and the owner, but the prosecution did not give green light to a search.
According to a spokesperson of the prosecution, a search is "a very heavy means" and the police can only enter a residence when there's "concrete suspicion against a person" who has to be present within the residence. At the residence in question this was allegedly not the case, as the theft report of the owner included "no objective evidence". The police could have asked the resident permission to enter the residence, but for unknown reasons they didn't.
...it is a federal crime to scan and print US currency
Which exactly is? The scanning, the printing or the act of doing both? What if you don't print it but email it instead? What if the receiving party prints it but didn't scan it? What if you're scanning and printing money for use in a piece of art? Real money obviously can't be used because it's expensive and government property.
I would like to think it's the intent that counts (but IANAL and not that familiar with US counterfeit laws). If you're copying and printing money in order to use as real money, it's obviously counterfeiting. Otherwise, I'm not so sure.
The insurance angle is probably just an excuse to further expand the tracking of the entire population. Why not just put a black box in every vehicle and be done with it?
Why not. If it happens I'll buy myself a 3D-printer and sell plastic fingers. If everybody is using the same fingers to buy stuff, together we'll have a whole library.
Yes, intent makes all the difference. Just to be sure, I stop the torrent when it's finished downloading. The government recently decided there'll be no law prohibiting downloading. Instead, they'll just raise the "home copy fee" (don't know if that translation makes sense, it's a kind of tax on recordable media.) I don't care, I hardly use CD's and DVD's anymore and if I buy them, I'll buy them outside The Netherlands.
The only thing they got right is my approximate location. They show all kinds of stuff I never torrented, and none of the stuff I did torrent, along with the message
"Of course, we are sure that you didn't violate any laws of Netherlands and downloaded only legal stuff, right?"
Yeah, I'm sure. Obviously they're not aware of the fact downloading is still legal here in The Netherlands (uploading is illegal though.)
If you actually believe that, guess on which side of the bell curve you are...
Fact: the average IQ is 100.
Fact: IQ tests have to be adjusted because scores increase by roughly 3 points a decade (the Flynn effect); we are actually becoming more intelligent.
Fact: the world population has more than doubled in the last 30 years. If Cole was right, we'd all have less than half the intelligence of 30 years ago.
Conclusion: it's bullshit.
I don't know why you need a citation of what fuzzyfuzzyfungus wrote, but here you go:
Just ask Intel about Apple's benchmarking strategy: For years, the finest in graphic design publicly asserted that PPC was so bitchin' that it was pretty much just letting Intel and x86 live because killing your inferiors is bad taste. Then, one design win, and x86 is suddenly eleventy-billion percent faster than that old-and-busted PPC legacy crap.
Or ask Amazon: Amazon releases 'Kindle' e-reader device. His Steveness declares "Nobody reads". And now Apple is pushing books, newspapers, and their own pet proprietary publishing platform...
Cheer up, emo Nvidia, all you have to do is sell Apple a Tegra N SoC, or even just the rights to include your GPU in their AN SoC, and Tim Cook will personally explain to the world that PowerVR GPUs are slow, weak, make you 30% less creative and are produced entirely from conflict minerals.
Samsung violates patent EP 868 with its Galaxy S, S2 and Ace model, but not with its Galaxy tablets. Samsung does not violate patent EP 948, while patent EP 022 was considered invalid. There was no violation by Samsung on any of Apple's design or copyright...
Slashdot Mirror
My bad. I confused his post for this one which did mention it. Need more coffee...
He specifically said in the browser. How many java apps do you see on web pages nowadays?
Hmm, it went fine in the preview. The HTML code is & deg; without the space.
The degree sign in HTML is . I think it's in the extended ASCII table so you don't need unicode.

It was, but a mutation caused some genetic codes to be exchanged, resulting in common law instead of common sense.

There are no statistics for burglaries per square miles here in The Netherlands. We use the metric system.

If it tastes just like coffee (unlike the decaf crap) but doesn't keep me awake at night I'm all for it.

Well, at least now we know where all the stories about gators in the sewers came from.

*The* European format? Which one? Just 1 of 3 globally? Try dozens. You've obviously never done any i18n.

So basically you're saying that girls with iPhones are sluts? Good to know :-)

+1 Funny. It's not even packed but then nobody would notice it's Polish :)
EP 868 is about a user interface, by the way.
