This has nothing to do with the PVV or protectionism, it's just plain economics. Our government pays the projects of Ph.D. students. If the student returns to her home country directly after getting her Ph.D. you have a negative return of investment. That is annoying since there is quite a lot of money involved. Philips hiring foreigners to do jobs is a whole different matter, as you say.
These are the type of comments that I was blissfully unaware of when the old comments system was still in place and you could really filter everything that scored lower than 1 out. In the new system, that is not possible anymore. I keep seeing posts scoring 0 since the new system is in place. Or is there a trick that I don't know of to get rid of these posts?
I don't know how it is in America, but here in the Netherlands a lot of Chinese and Indian people come here to get their Ph.D. They write their thesis and a few articles, get their Ph.D., and go back to where they came from, taking all the experience that you need for performing their specific 'trick' with them. One Ph.D. costs on average around 400.000 euros. I think when these people leave for their home country we should at least make them pay part of that money back. If they can't they have to stay here and we can pluck the fruits of our investment.
I'm glad my rabbits don't do that. I have difficulties enough already keeping the place clean without poop laying around everywhere. But I had Annabel 'helped,' just like her mate. Maybe that's a factor in this.
Yea man, I think it's great! I can fuck like my rabbits now without having an operation like my rabbits had. Oh, but my rabbits are actually a bad example because I only see my female rabbit hump the male every once in a while. On the head. And he likes it. She's bigger than him but he can lift her up with his head no problem if he wants to. I would like to meet a woman who can do that to me!
Wow you're right. We get manipulated even more than I thought. I always had the impression that the guy looked nervous and unhealthy but now I know why.
I'll take the list thank you. The problem with people today is that they don't learn to read properly. I know that learning to read is hard but it saves you so much time in the long run;)
He is, but that's easy on Top Gear. Leno sure loves his cars. I once saw him talk about steam cars and demonstrate them and his amount of knowledge about them was impressive. I love watching him talk about cars:)
What's so wrong about Jay Leno having one? He has a very nice collection of cars from all eras. His private collection can be a museum later. Let's hope he makes sure that happens after his death.
It depends on the contract you have with the provider. If I were a hotel or restaurant and I would want to offer WiFi services I would outsource all of it to a provider. I pay a monthly fee and let them install the hardware and make sure everything works, so that I can concentrate on my core business. Then if something happens to the WiFi it's the provider's problem, not mine. If Opta doesn't agree with that we take it to court.
I read this yesterday on nu.nl and I think it's completely ridiculous. The hotels (and my hospital I found out yesterday, and McDonalds and many many other places) can offer WiFi because they have a deal with a provider. Isn't that enough? I thought the Opta was there for the consumer but now I am not so sure anymore.
Nice joke. If I say something completely bullocks I get one point from you and -4487564 points from other moderators. If I say something insightful or whatever, adding valuable content to the thread I get my positive modpoints from everybody and don't need your pityful one point;)
And bloody hell, now I have to wait 5 minutes before clicking 'Submit' because of/.'s annoying posting rules. That annoys me no end.

They are paid. That's costs. It's just how you look at it.

I wouldn't call it a fetish but they surely are a special couple!

Is the punishment comparable to what other people convicted of the same crime get?
And who votes for such governments again and again and again?
I guess the truth lies close to the average of the combined reports of Al Jazeera and ABC.
Is that why you post as an AC, so we don't find your creditcard number too easily?
Did you come to me because you have a brain?
Wow you're right. We get manipulated even more than I thought. I always had the impression that the guy looked nervous and unhealthy but now I know why.
LOL :)

With a list you can immediately pick out the things that seem interesting. I don't want to have to click to 120 pages to find 5 that interest me.
The year of no Linux on the desktop! What a relief not to have to anticipate anymore.

Oh sorry, then I misunderstood your use of the word 'shocker.'

America, the land of the... Hm, of the... I just can't find the word.

It could cost $5,- per game and people would still make big profits. Illegal copying drives the price up, however.
