  1. Actual situation in The Netherlands on Just Say No To Reading About Drugs · · Score: 1

    Replying to the post suggesting that Marijuana is legal in Amsterdam and just to state the actual situation in The Netherlands - Marijuana is not actually legal, it is "decriminalised". It may in practice be sold and used in certain "Coffee shops". In theory, the police could shut any of these shops at a moment's notice and arrest the proprietors. There are also so called "Smart Shops" which sell mushrooms and other "natural" psychoactive substances. There is talk at the moment about legalizing the cultivation of Marijuana in The Netherlands, simply as a practical point to reduce imports and organized crime, but this bill stands very little chance of becoming law because it offends The Netherlands' neighboring countries so badly. They are already not too pleased about the current situation (there are only minimal border controls between The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium).

  2. Re:"... is a hybrid of C and C++"? on Microsoft's New Language · · Score: 1

    How is a language going to be a hybrid of two languages one of which (C++) is already essentially a superset of the other?
