  1. That is to make the iPhone acceptable in Indonesia.

  2. They will. They're waterproof and made of glass so they're easy to clean.

  3. Those responses do make me feel twenty years younger though. Slashdot was filled with threads like this back then.

    Scientists shouldn't care about what people think of them, as long as they do their job right.

    Argh, I meant 'They are probably working on that already.'

    This is what Apple should use in future iPhones. A phone that runs an OS that is compatable with both macOS and iOS, that can connect to a keyboard and monitor and can be used as a PC in that way. They already working on that already and I wouldn't be surprised if some of Apple's money is quietly going towards AMD and Intel's new project.

    Are you nuts? I just filled it with dangerous higly flammable poison! I fill it up and then run away quickly.

  8. Next time they won't be.
    The thing with having untrustworthy gouvernments and a democracy is that diring the next elections the people always punish the parties for their behaviour. This results in difficult formations and absolutely no possibility of long term planning. Which means the Netherlands are now way behind in education, technology and are far below even the US with regard to doing battling climate change.

  9. Re:Does it make sense to trust any govt key? on Mozilla Might Distrust Dutch Government Certs Over 'False Keys' (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    In the US gouvernment eavesdropping rules may be secret but at least they seem to have rules they stick by. Being a Dutch citizen and having read about the ways of our government, I would not be surprised if this law that we will get now (of which many dictators will be mighty jealous. Even the FBI was impress with what we can do) just legalises only a part of the ways my gouvernment uses to eavesdrop and spy on its people.

    Just like 1997 was! And '98, 2000 and and those other years we had! Linux has always been really successful as a just around the corner desktop OS.

    The world breathes a sigh of relief. We were almost done for.

    And even when powered by coal it's still cleaner than an ICE.

    Here in the Netherlands all electric trains ride on wind energy.

    Rich and poor are usually measured relative to the people in your neighbourhood, not the people far way in totally different living comditions.

  15. Re: This is excellent. on Scientists Find a Better Way To Wash Pesticides Off Your Apples (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I have two apple trees in my small garden and thanks to the reduction in the number of insects I hardly had any apple with worms or other things in and on it this year, despite not soing anything against insects while they grew. So spraying them is not necessary anymore.

  16. That is a reason to eat lots of apples. They don't make you fat.

  17. I'm not so sure if that really is better for the environment. Someone should do the maths.

    He's already going the way of the diesel car.

  19. Re:It's a shame on Why Did Ubuntu Drop Unity? Mark Shuttleworth Explains (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    The reason why I went to Mac is that the Linux community for some reason can not decide on a standard desktop environment, which is why most companies didn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole when I left.

  20. I also was surprised that legislation is so cheap in the US.

    These IoT thingies have more power than the PC I had 15 years ago. And many of them do hardly anything with it. That is just... strange.
