Indeed, and that is what many people will do now. I hope this backfires tremendously. BREIN (the Dutch RIAA) is almost as bad as the American RIAA so they deserve it.
Many people in the Netherlands now buy their electronics in Germany, where it's much cheaper thanks to less tax and the absence of this ridiculous levy.
Cut down on burning fossil fuels. Doing that now is cheaper than repairing the damage and installing preventive measures agains floods and storms later.
I once had to interview an applicant for a job on our research group who had done just that during his whole life. I doesn't get you far, believe me. What he was seeking at the university I really don't know.
You're definitely not the target audience for iTunes. You need a professional program to manage your music, not a simple customer program that is designed to handle a few thousand files.
Never. Linux didn't make it in the 1990s/2000s, and that was THE time for Linux. MS made utter crap, Apple was nowhere and Linux was good enough for the desktop already back then. It didn't make it back then and it will not make it now.
Man, those were the years. Every year Linux on the desktop was just around the corner, and next year Linux would make its big breaktrough! Nobody could ever imagine that Linux would eventually be big on mobile phones and HDTVs back then.
From the blurb: "our children need never experience the fears that come with momentary separations"
You know what? Our children are so much shielded from everyday life experiences that they grow up to be big sissies that can't stand anything. When do people realize that 1) they have to bring up their kids, and 2) that means making them experience things they don't like and that even scare them every so often. You already see in politics now that our countries are being guided by absolute lunatics who don't know how to react to even the slightest unexpected mishap. I really fear for what the next generation will do. They have grown up in schools where learning is fun, instead of the hard work it's supposed to be. They have an attention span of at most one minute. and they can't handle anything that is outside the expectation pattern they were imprinted with because they never had anything unexpected happen to them. WTF? So please please get rid of those tracking devices and just tell your kids not to trust strangers and give them the chance to grow up!
And you really think Amazon wouldn't want to have a color e-ink reader? I guess they don't have one yet because a) the screen looks crap, or b) it's far too expensive to complete their existing monochrome e-reader line.
Yep, they sold me a book about the evolution of storytelling. The paper version contained some figures that they just left out in the Kindle version. And that made the book unreadable. Thank you Amazon, I will certainly buy Kindle books from you again.
Yes. Interesting case in point, here in The Netherlands our government banned The Pirate Bay. Now a scientific study was conducted, and the conclusions were that banning TPB did not decrease the amount of downloading going on in the Netherlands. BREIN (the Dutch RIAA) of course is angry about this and calls the conclusions 'irresponsible.' Of course they don't explain themselves.
That's not what I mean. A free electron laser still spits out photons. I mean a device that generates a beam of electrons, all with the same wavelength and phase.
I always wonder if it is possible to make an electron laser: a device which spits out electrons all with the same phase and wavelength, like a normal laser does with photons. Is that possible? Why/why not?
That all sounds very profound and true and intelligent but since we still don't have any cars running on ethanol and fuel cells yet (yes yes except from a few laboratories on wheels) we have to make do with what we have.
By the way I saw a documentary once with Captain Slow (aka James May) in which a few people had built a nice big solar collector to make petrol out of air. So this whole thing is not that new. And they didn't need the grid for it either. Look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ5mpQqmZaM&feature=related

Yes, and most games you want to play are not on there.
Good for you.
But the iPad is easy to clean. Just lick it off.
I guess we will buy more oil from them in the future. That'll teach them a lesson!

Yes indeed it's a ridiculous claim. If it has the computing power of 1% of the human brain, why even build it?

Says the Anonymous Coward.
Yes, I also don't see what's new here.

Ars also has a piece on this, here.

Information does not want anything.
I understand my car can't fly but I think that is not acceptable at all either. Never again will I buy a car.

Because allegedly they work from 6 in the evening until 6 in the morning.
