You missed the part "early", it was only much later the masses were informed about the Nazi atrocities but everyone was hindered by the ID requests.
That experience was what made the opposition of the Dutch people and politics against a general requirement for carrying ID, only a few years ago the new world order (mainly Moslim extremism) made it possible to introduce limited ID requirements in our country.
The fact that the French and Germans continued to have a general requirement to carry ID says more about those societies than about the dangers they were exposed to after the end of the Nazi era.
"Click it or Ticket", "Over the limit, Under arrest", and its ilk irritate me to no end. I *loathe* being talked down to like a child, with these cutesy slogans. I hate the TV commercials where they say: "If you drink and drive, you WILL get arrested!"
Anyone with half a brain knows that such is not directed at a responsible person like him.
Anyone with half a brain knows that such a certain assertion is clearly false. Doesn't really do much for their credibility.
That I'm willing to agree with. but the they are after the drunks with less than half a brain.
I would say the iPad is aimed at consumers, not techs.
Though the various video's show a very snappy interface switching applications is still faster on a true multi tasking system. And I feel that's what the present generation of techs expects, the iPad's beauty is only a few m deep.
I think we should greet it with open arms and set up McDonald's and Starbuck's franchises as soon as we can to show it that we welcome it as a neighbor!
I can tell you from first hand experience that you are missing some of life's lessons.
My country recognises (under strickt conditions) the right to euthanasia and it's practised, not by people that have a sudden for others hard to understand desire to end it all but by a vast margin those that are suffering terminal and irreversible illness.
Those people get all the care and palliative sedation modern medicine can give but there is a point where they'd only vegetate and here they have the freedom to decide when it has been enough.
Such a point exists, nature will not let all of us die suddenly and peacefully and though sedation can alleviate a lot of suffering there are those that prefer to have the final decision in their own hand.
Don't forget Nokia's Maemo (Debian) and their recent joint venture with Intel called Meego, also Linux based and in the case of the N900 free and open.
I'm perfectly happy to have advertisements included in the pages I watch, over the years I've come to disregard them anyway. And I do appreciate they pay for what I enjoy so I won't take the offer to switch off Slasdot advertising.
But I do use flashblock as I think advertisements don't need flash to reach me plus it's a noticeable drain on a slow connection.
Indeed, people that are out of the blue confronted with present-day Linux are generally positively impressed.
I'm here on a remote company location where two WIndows XP computers crapped out.
The only way to get some use out of them until IT can restore them was to install a Kubuntu 10.04 beta1 that I happened to have on a USB drive and all are really impressed by how complete and easy to use a package that is.
Particularly the fast boot time and snappy response is remarkable to people used to computers alternately bogged down by viruses and virus protection etc.
I just tried it (via a British IP) on google.nl and a Dutch Wikipedia article about C, the computer programming language came up top followed by the English version.
Above them there is a Google Calculator reference for c being the speed of light.
I would say the subject at hand falls more under 'macromanage', after all neutrality is rather essential for the functioning of the only internet there is.
That's what happened in The Netherlands, the old Radio/TV licence was done away with and the broadcasters are now paid from the regular taxes.
Now there's no more need to act on every new technological development and it saves a lot in enforcement, because it's hard to find any one that doesn't have a radio or TV it's for all purpose quite just.

AdBlock is of course not ideal from a website's owners point of view.
A proper admin would have solved the problem, not made a new one.
And what do media players have to do with the subject at hand?
The EU measures against Microsoft were based on them being a de-facto monopoly, something you can't possibly say of Apple.
If I've ever read a dumb remark it's yours.

The 7th. comment and already Godwin's law!

Yeah and they have WIFI!
But I worry about the ping times...
Among others because the German scientists didn't really believe in the program.

Judging by the iPad comments it's the Multi Taskers, in other words born around the time the 386 appeared.

Why not try Lucid Lynx?
Germany was very close to having nukes at that time.
You have some peculiarly ill-informed opinions about the recent history, I hope you are not in charge of children.

That's from a Linux machine.
Like MS users get financial help, *nix users get technical information.

Quite the contrary, they are explicitly non-existent.
So all Hercules needs to do is limit this part of their business to the whole world minus the USofA and Japan.
Yeah I know, I'm dreaming of a fair world.
But it's still 'only' a Canadian court and it's quite a stretch to immediately assume international repercussions.
Canada has signed international treaties and it'll more likely have to abide by the world's views instead of forcing it's own on the world.
Interesting and to me plausible, anyone that can confirm this?
(Very few countries place treaty agreements higher than national laws like the US does.
You might want to look that part about "very few countries" up...
For as far as the western world is concerned it's more likely the other way around, international treaties override national law.
