  1. Holland on Emigrating To a Freer Country? · · Score: 1

    The Netherlands is a great place to live. According to wikipedia, 70% of the people speak English. In the major cities, virtually almost anyone you meet speaks English. Plus the Dutch are some of the most liberal people around. eg, marijuana, euthanasia,etc... I think you would enjoy it there. I am actually thinking of emigrating there myself.

  2. Physics doesn't care on Intentional GPS Jamming On the Increase · · Score: 1

    You don't need a GPS jammer.

    If your bridge is 8 feet high, you simply need a metal arch 9 feet high, and a 'low bridge' sign suspended from it by two one-foot pieces of chain.

    Hence, any driver approaching the bridge who should fail to notice the 'low bridge' sign will have their attention drawn to it when it collides with their vehicle, causing a loud noise but less danger than a vehicle-bridge collision.

    I think there are reasons why they built that bridge with an 8 feet tall arch and not a 9 feet high arch(eg. structural strength, etc..). Physics doesn't and shouldn't make allowances for idiotic drivers blindly following directions.

    I do agree, gps jammers need to be located in such areas to disrupt gps signals and force drivers to pay attention to the signs and warnings posted alongside the road.

  3. Re:Lawyer: This, boys and girls, is why . . . on Man Fired When Laptop Malware Downloaded Porn · · Score: 5, Informative

    Personally, I'm skeptical about the idea of malware that secretly downloads and hides kiddie porn--why would the malware developer do that? The malware wasn't downloading and hiding kiddie porn From the article: "Loehrs found a script file that was set to go out and run its own searches on foreign Web sites, she said. "And once you get into some of these foreign sites, you'll get all kinds of stuff you don't want to see. "Actually, the child pornography was just a very small portion of it. The majority was just bizarre porn. He was being hit with everything," she added." The malware author was probably running a pay per click scam by using his malware to visit a bunch of sites and making it seem a bunch of visitors were browsing the site.
