not in Holland. Holland is the combination of North-Holland and South-Holland, both provincies of the Netherlands. The Netherlands is the country as a whole. The Kingdom of the Netherland is the Netherlands plus the Netherland Antilles and Aruba. Zeeland(Sealand) is a provincy seperate from Holland.
"It is time for science to be market-driven rather than socialist in nature."
Since IS market driven. There is a BIG BIG market for global warming and that's where the money is so climate scientists focus on global warming and not other topics or (God forbid) the heresy that is global warming denial.
If you are connected with BT please try some of these suggestions and see if it is possible to locate the IP addresses of Phorm. It is important that we stop this menace(or at least do what we can) before it spreads to other ISPs.
"The Brawndo references were sad in that they were not only similar to current marketing, but working on current marketing concepts, and people honestly fall for it."
iptables and known Phorm ips. DROP all packets originating from known Phorm addresses. This is ofcourse a pretty much faulty way of approaching it since they can quite easily switch IP-adressess and you will be stuck with outdated adressess on your list.
My thow at it:
any known ip-ranges for phorm and how does blocking phorm impact users(BT or otherwise).
In the history of man there have been several cases of fatal hilarity(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Hilarity) and this article might inflict this seemingly comical effect on technically concious people.

Somebody actually read the EULA, I simply thought it was an old design tradition. Just write a big block of text and include a "Next" button. Variants may include clicking one or more checkboxes.
"This is, of course, precisely the reason so many big companies still use COBOL [slashdot.org], right?"
And I suppose you are still using DOS 6.22 instead of a more modern operating system? COBOL is a programming language and not an operating system so the comparison is rather flawed.
The industry has no choice since they cannot force MS to supply XP. What if MS doesn't? Will they switch to *ux? That's rich. I know companies that still use IE6 but still using that if there is no support is suicide security-wise.
Companies resist change, but luddites always will remain and most people will eventually jump to the better tech.
XP will be fased out and I don't see companies using the abandoned version that we call Vista(it's the truth!). Unless they want to get an illegal version or stick to their old licenses if they still have it. XP is old and MS is trying to obsolete it and since they have the monopoly on spreading Windows, companies will have no choice.
We WILL switch to Windows 7 or you will be forced to choose a different OS like Mac OS or a GNU/Linux flavour(or a dying *BSD;) )
"Are examples like Wikipedia or even Slashdot good products of democracy?"
No and no.
Wikipedia is ruled by the admins since they have the final say in everything and Slashdot is ruled by CmdrTaco(who is himself a subject to his not so democratic overlords). Saying that they are products of democracy is only valid if you see democracy as "people can do some things(which are allowed by their overlords)".
Are there any taped matches with English commentary? I remember watching a starcraft 2 game(demo) a few months ago and the commentator's energetic way of reporting on the game made me curious about it.
The premisse is that a/0 equals infinity. That leads to 2/0=3/0 and that leads to the conclusion that 2=3 which is absurd. That's proof that you cannot divide by zero.
Actually, that isn't neccesairy. Landing at an inconsistency with assumed premisses and a correct system, disproves the premisses. The second you land at 2=3 is the second that you know that dividing by zero is nonsense.
If you can divide by zero, numbers make no sense. That's amazing you say, has somebody ever tried to divide by zero and did bad things happen as a result?
Yes, do you remember the banking crisis of 2008, that's when 1 tiny bank accidentally divided by zero. Through the internet this ofcourse rapidly spread and soon numbers made no sense. Because they made no sense, the virtual money indicator flipped to negative. That's why your house has lost 50% of its value.

"Vote for the MAN, not the PARTY."
I don't get this. Don't you vote for an ideal? For things you want to happen? To inject your philosophy into the legislating bodies?
Or do you want to vote for an baby-kissing slimeball?
If you voted for a MAN, you are part of the problem. Vote for the PARTY that represents you.

Duh, emacs is obviously the tool with the greatest ease of use, nothing like :deadchicken vi.

I could tell you the real story behind gaming addiction but I need to lvl up my human mage to lvl 80.
"The Brawndo references were sad in that they were not only similar to current marketing, but working on current marketing concepts, and people honestly fall for it."
But it's got electrolytes!
I guess we only need volunteers and we can intercept the right IPs and add them to the blocklist.
"So you advocate... nuking it from orbit?"
I'm afraid so, it's the only way to be sure.
Then you are stuck with one option:
iptables and known Phorm ips. DROP all packets originating from known Phorm addresses. This is ofcourse a pretty much faulty way of approaching it since they can quite easily switch IP-adressess and you will be stuck with outdated adressess on your list.

This is Slashdot, we know.

No thanks, I dont smoke.

Links would be most welcome.
The premisse is that a/0 equals infinity. That leads to 2/0=3/0 and that leads to the conclusion that 2=3 which is absurd. That's proof that you cannot divide by zero.
"Anyone know the origins of "Dutch"? (since this is a spamvertisement. And that we had one of these not that long ago if i remember correct.)"
Yes, it's the old Dutch word for "people".
Actually, that isn't neccesairy. Landing at an inconsistency with assumed premisses and a correct system, disproves the premisses. The second you land at 2=3 is the second that you know that dividing by zero is nonsense.
2/0=inf.
3/0=inf.
2/0=3/0
Multiply by zero:
2=3
If you can divide by zero, numbers make no sense. That's amazing you say, has somebody ever tried to divide by zero and did bad things happen as a result?
Yes, do you remember the banking crisis of 2008, that's when 1 tiny bank accidentally divided by zero. Through the internet this ofcourse rapidly spread and soon numbers made no sense.
