Being born in Belgium, I always had my ID card (without chip).
It provides following information: first name, name, full address, date and location of birth, picture, ID card number, national number, and gender.
Slowly, these cards are replaced with a new version containing a chip. This chip will contain all the information above in a non-encrypted way. Other information will be encrypted: the keys and certificates for the digital signing of documents. These will be accessed by using a PIN.
The Belgian government states there will be no other information stored on this card.
If you ever needed paperwork in Belgium, you know how long it can take to get the right papers, fill them in and return them. This new ID-card will let enable us to do everything on the internet.
To be honest, there isn't anything one can do about this change. It's part of the digital evolution I guess.
I do have more trust in my government when it comes to my privacy than I would have in others. The bigger questions for Belgians is how secure the new system is going to be once installed.
could we make it rotating? could we make it baby pink on Monday, Wednessday, Friday and Sunday and baby blue on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday?
I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie woooorld! Come on barbie! Let's go PARTYYYYYYYYY!

Yesterday, I read this in the Guardian. It's a very interesting article about how, over the last 10.000 years, our DNA has been altered by what we eat and where we live.
In even more real money:
$999 = 791 euro
$499 = 395 euro
$500 = 396 euro
Get with the program!
I think that's a bit too much euro for a non gamer to spend.
Building a nuclear bomb is pretty easy when you have the right stuff. The only thing that is hard to get is the Uranium-235. Once you have that, further building is a piece of cake (in a lab). You need two chunks of the uranium that fit together. Best way is a sphere, cut in half with on one half, in the middle, a topped piramid sticking out. On the other half the exact same piramid cut out, so the two pieces fit together. Behind one of the pieces you place some explosives so that piece will be lauched with great force into the other piece. Within 1*10E-12 seconds, induced fission will blast everything away. You'll feel the effect at about the same time:)
Do not try this at home kids, leave it to Donald Rumsfeld.
From what I've read about the Gates Foundation, it has little to nothing to do with Gates' company: Microsoft. Yes sure, if he wants kids in poor countries to start working with computers and give them software he'll use Microsoft products. A normal thing, as it is his company that makes the stuff.
Don't forget Gates is a person like you and me with his own life and feelings. Maybe more of the rich and famous should share a piece of their money give kids elsewhere a chance.
As for the question asked. Maybe what we (as the 'Open Source' community) can do is collect older computers, make sure they work and put Linux on them. When all is tesed, we just ship them over to the public schools in the country we live in. If we would do that in out free time, like four hours a week, a lot of kids, parents and teachers would be happy people too.
Ok, let me get this right. I am talking about the Human Rights and how I think they should be defended at all costs. I don't understand why you should bring up some dead white guys who founded the US (by giving all natives Human Rights I suppose).
You also say that I would allow government violence against those who I believe 'hate' or 'discriminate'. I love these arguements, they say a lot about you. People who spread and teach hate and discrimination should indeed be brought to court. Here in Belgium we recently did this with a rasict political party. If bringing these kind of people to court, because they are acting against the fundamental rights of every human being, is called violence, then I really have to look up the meaning of the word.
Your reply on whether the Internet can be dangerous as a source of information is a very good one. I would even call it insightful. I am talking about - if you didn't notice yet - stopping people from spreading information full of hate against others because of the color of their skin or their believes. I am talking about blocking child pornography. If you think these sites must stay online so people can visit them and pay per visit, more and more kids will get raped in front of a camera. You on the other hand bring up China where the government is blocking everything that they believe is against their politics. I'm not talking about politics, I'm talking about BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.
First of all, torture isn't always physical as seen in Iraq or Israel for that matter. You can torture people with psychology. It isn't that hard. Using speech can really torture a person.
Second, you say I just want to get rid of what I don't like. No, I want to get rid of all that is against the Human Rights. Rasicm and discrimination - in this topic child pornography - are against these rights. These are, amongst others, the rights that save thousands of people a year.
I can only conclude that you are very tolerant when it comes to discrimination, rasicm and fascism. I'm sorry but I'm not. My personal history and all I stand for doesn't allow me to hate, to discriminate or to hurt others.
It is people with the same way of thinking as you who create situations that are getting harder to solve.
The Internet isn't just a reflection of what is happening in the world. It is the source of information and propaganda for lots of people. It's dangerous.
Freedom of Speech is a very nice cocept. I agree on that, but isn't that freedom limited? Shouldn't Freedom of Speech end where discrimination, racism, hate and torture start?
We are talking about children here. Kids, forced to have sex with adults. Scarred for life!
Stop bullshitting about censorship. This is something totally different.
We are not talking about anti-government opinions. I would be one of the first to protest about such a censorship since I do it on my website (here). We are talking about breaking the Human Rights here. If this 'censorship' leads to a massive decrease of child pornography on the web: hell yeah! if not: hell yeah! Every country should be doing this!!
If it's up to me, go get every discriminating, racism-spreading no good website such as www.stormfront.org and take them down!
This guy is going to be rich.

My mother was used to a Windows enviroment for years. She used all MS products going from Office to MSIE.
One day she had major problems with her box and asked me to fix it.
Today, she's using Gentoo with KDE, Firefox as a browser and OpenOffice for all her schoolwork. She even knows how to save a file in MSWord format if needed. She even loves GnuCash. My life is just so much more relaxing now.
Whenever I feel like it, I ssh my way into her box to update some stuff... She doesn't even know:-)
Only one downside: she hates the password I gave her.
In Belgium, I've noticed some pedestrian crossings to be equiped with optical sensors. That way, if a person is standing at such crossing, things will speed up and the lights will change. To bad it doesn't leave us with a button to play with.
If Microsoft would be behind this, it must be possible to find a link between the companies. As far as I know this link can only be stock or money transfers.
Is the court the only party that can find this link or does every US citizen have the right to see this kind of information? Just wondering, I'm not a US citizen.
If it IS possible, maybe a/. reader could look in to it or ask a friend/lawyer to have a look.
"FBI security guys are using Macs because, 'those machines can do just about anything: run software for Mac, Unix, or Windows"
And i was thinking bad guys always used 3D interfaces with lots of moving things in the background typing commands like "send worm" "hack 127.0.0.1" etc.
I don't care whether it were Linux users or Windows users hacking together this virus. I use linux and so far I haven't had a linux-virus infection. This doesn't mean that I hate it when a (windows-) virus strikes. My mail got flooded with 100+ mails with the virus as attachment. I got to the point to see those spreads as spam. If there is anything I hate, it's spam in my mailbox.
I think SCO should be stopped. I'm a European citizen and none of my tax money is going to be spend on something that, in my eyes, isn't even a legal license. I think it's time to brainstorm on how it is possible to stop SCO from bringing this idiocy to Europe. That's what it is no? Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
So what can we do? Set up a website? Arange petitions?

Maybe they pay $5 for each time a virus is able to get on your PC because of some security hole in MS software. Let me read that XP EULA.
