    Even if you know nothing about computers you go look at benchmarks at anandtech and find the one with the biggest bar on the graph that you can reasonably afford.

    Keeping your analogy: it's not like the kernel devs agree all the time, now do they?

  3. Re:Failure to appear in court... on The Pirate Bay Ordered To Block Dutch Users · · Score: 4, Informative
    Not true. BREIN have argued that several pages where they put up the notice were visited by IP addresses belonging to TPB. Also it was the judge's opinion that it would have been quite impossible not to notice the media commotion around this hearing.

    I personally find the latter point somewhat dubitable: why the heck would they follow Dutch news anyway, but the former point is to me somewhat more convincing.

    One also has to note by the way that the entire Dutch IT-crowd has their panties in a bunch over this, because our Christfaggy government earlier announced plans to introduce a filter not entirely different from the thing the Australian wants. Many see this as an important first step towards that goal and a very large step back for our freedom and society.

  5. Re:Do they still Sell 100-in-1 kits? on Low-Budget Electronics Projects For High School? · · Score: 1
    I agree. I used things like these at my school. They have several ports, like an AND-port, also there is a AD-converter, several inputs (high-low or variable voltage), a counter, and some more. It really is all you need to teach simple circuitery and can be used in (small) groups.

    I just found out those weigh in at â 389,00, which is quite pricey... :(

    I see what you did with that cute-girl-music scenario, but face it. No one on /. will have the guts to actually talk back to her, so the conversation will go something like:
    "Hi"
    -"Uhhh... hi..."
    "can you download $album for me?"
    -"uuussure..."
    "Ok, I'll come pick it up tomorrow, thanks!" *walks off*

    That is, if she even knows a geek lives there. I mean, he doesn't get out of the basement...

    Did you _have_ to wave your hand in that suggestive manner, as if - SELinux is not what he is looking for. Move along.

    And it indeed appears to me that it is not what he is looking for.

  10. Security-Enhanced Linux on Locking Down Linux Desktops In an Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    SELinux might be worth looking into? It can do some very specific policy-enforcement, although I am unsure wether or not it can do so on a per-user or per-group basis...

  11. Re:No Case Under US Law on Timetable App Developer Gets Nastygram From Transit Sydney · · Score: 1

    Except for the major service on, I believe, the Piccadilly and Victoria lines? Although I have to admit the trains were never more than five or so minutes late.

    Here in the Netherlands the trains (real trains, not underground) will get delayed by anything. If there's leaves on the track, they'll be delayed, plus a dozen other similarly stupid reasons.

    Oh, and delay does not mean 5 minutes here. The official time plus five minutes is the normal time for trains to arrive and depart (of course this doesn't go for your connection which has already left the station by the time you are there). No. Delay is more like twenty-thirty minutes, minimum.

    By the time we have arrived at version 1.9.84, the word 'Beta' will have degraded to some weirdo old (so to speak) word that no one uses anymore.

    That is why in the Netherlands you are not legally bound by EULA's you cannot read beforehand. Also, the law takes precedence over any EULA you might have agreed to. You cannot take away privileges or grant privileges by EULA that are or are not granted to you by the law.

    Wether Gouda is soft or not depends entirely on the age of the cheese... If you have young Gouda it is quite soft and melty (and approximately one year old), aged (or old, I really don't know the correct word for it in English) Gouda on the other hand is quite hard (but also a bit brittle).

    Then tell me... Why is it always some weirdo foreigner trippin' and killing himself after they used drugs? I live in Holland and recently they banned magic mushrooms, after some IIRC Italian girl jumped off a bridge and drowned.

    I have said this before, but here it's almost never the Dutch that get into trouble. 99 out of 100 times it's a foreign person who thinks: great! legal drugs! and then just ODs on the spot because they never got to experiment with it, or got properly educated about them. I sincerely hate those people. Go fuck up your own country with your drug abuse, not mine.

    I will repeat, just for clarity that IT'S ALMOST NEVER A DUTCH GUY FUCKING UP WITH DRUGS, MOST OF THE TIME IT'S A FOREIGNER NOT KNOWING HOW TO HANDLE THE STUFF(elevenone11).
