  1. Re:Pakistani nuclear head's comments in 2004 on FBI Burying Doc Showing US Officials Stole Nuclear Secrets? · · Score: 1

    In The Netherlands, former prime minister Ruud Lubbers has testified that, on discovery of Khan's spying activities in the Almelo nuclear facility, the CIA requested that the Dutch governement should refrain from intervention. And now we're worrying about the 'islamic nuclear bomb'...

  2. DRM forces you to download on Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know the music industry's business model is seriously flawed when, after buying the new Coldplay CD, you find out you can't play it on your workstation. Copy protected.

    So I'm actually forced to pirate the songs I just bought to be able to listen to them at work.

    This communicates a clear message: buying will be punished by DRM restrictions, you'd better download.

  3. a nice DoS on the judicial system on UK to Put Monitors in Every Car? · · Score: 1

    In The Netherlands, speed limits were raised a few years ago. The reason? Almost everybody ignored them, and also ignored the fines flowing into their mailbox.

    The justice system got clogged trying to give everyone some eyeball time with a judge. The obvious solution to this backend bottleneck was, to reconfigure the frontend -- set the speed limit high enough to reduce the flood of speeding tickets.
