    Indeed, not many have time on their hands to use so much html.

    And keep repeating the unasked for message.

    Why not?

    It's a fact that the Dutch language sits somewhere between English and German, all three have a common Germanic ancestor.
    Please ignore the idiots that keep repeating something that happened well before their time.

    When the native apps are better or just simply faster?

    I see a huge difference between pure Android and a real GNU/Linux flavour like Sailfish, the latter has so much more to offer.

    This sort of development on a respectable OS deserves support.

  5. Re:Screw the EU on European Commission Outlines Steps To Restore Trust In EU-US Data Flows · · Score: 1
    Some EU member countries are bad, no discussion necessary.

    Here we're talking about the EU and they have two branches of government, the commission that backed down and the parliament that wants stronger action.

    The EU commission is made up of lackeys of the member countries, the EU parliament is very much 'of the people' and they have to share power.
    Give it some time and we'll see who wins, the establishment in the countries or the people of the EU.

    This is one of the reasons I am very much pro-EU unity.

    Like when I've used the phone as hotspot and have Bluetooth on as well, power goes down rapidly and the day isn't over yet.

    Having a quick top-up before getting on the train home is rather useful...

    There is no double standard.

    Reporters publishing horrible shot's and stories from wars and their victims are generally not the instigators of or partakers in the war.

    In the case of kiddi porn it is often quite different, the original posters are virtually always the ones that raped the child.

    Try to look at it on a Global scale.

    Google and Microsoft have many localised search pages, several dozen if not more.

    I'd be shocked if they didn't use localised versions of the banned terms lists and as good salesmen they must have included all these variations in the 100K number.

    And these 200 have made a list with 100,000 search terms that will lead to a dead end or a warning.

    One Hundred Thousand! That's a reasonable dictionary in any language...

    Or do they mean approximately 200 terms in 500 languages?

    Yes and no.

    The last big international raid on kiddi porn traffickers identified several hundred children that were abused for the photo's.

    Let's not kid ourselves, kiddi porn via the net is similar to peddling stolen goods and we usually believe fencing is enabling and increasing the crime of theft.

    Yes Cameron is big into this :)

    I happen to visit the UK and 2 hrs ago I heard him on the radio, extolling how it was HE who 5 months ago had told 'the industry' to do something about this nasty stuff and how they had listened to him.

    For the Daily Mail it's a bit different, they just want to get rid of the competition.
