Hmm... This might be nice, The problem is that Mr Dijkstra's name comes from the northern part of the netherlands. This 'state' or province as we call it has an own language, with different pronouncement. My go at it: Normal Dutch: D'ii'kstra: the ij is pronounced a bit strange, it is hard to explain...... Fries:(northern language/accent) D'ee'kstroa : the ee is pronounced as in english the seperate e but longer.
Actually, sending a letter across netherland, or even europe will cost you about the same. Last time I send normal mail, about a year ago it was still a normal f1,- stamp, which is about 45 dollarcents. Ofcourse, we have got this nice mailbox stickers that you don't want to receive spam, which work quite well, I never receive any trash.
Actually, in the EU we don't use credit cards that much, on the other hand, cash isn't used for bigger amounts either, at least not often, we use bankcards, that allow to directly withdraw the money from your account.
The only credit card i have/had in my whole life is a company card, for expenses when traveling/ taking clients out to dinner:)
Actually, if you want to be good at games like quake, you will have to train your timing and remember the levels, knowing where the healthpacks/rocketlauncher/quad is will give you an advantage, some gamers i've seen, can even tell exactly when it will respawn in several different levels..... Let alone games like monkey island/discworld, which will teach you to think out of the box..
Nope, actually most house/techno comes from europe, it was invented in Germany and the Netherlands, expanded to Great Brittain, and to the USA. Certain styles never even made it to North America.
Please tell me you haven't seen schindlers list.......

This is actually the explanation for magic in the weiss and hickmann books. Choosing from a lot of possibilities. Basicly they can choose any possible future, how improbable it is.
EHM, ingame, there is no connection to battlenet, the only lag is the channel lag of battle.net, or your own f*cked up connection to a peer. Only closed battle.net(diabloII) has a server lag issue, for the reason of being "duh" Closed.
Now there is this strange option of network play in the blizzard games....This might be for people who want to play with eachother without Battlenet???? This doesn't even check your cd-key!!!!!.
Maybe blizzard really did sue bnetd for being able to play w3 beta on there?????
There are Several other reverse engineered network programs out there that blizzard has done nothing about. Mainly because they can't be used for w3.
Hmmm, The crime rates I see, especially deadly crimes are way higher in the USA then in European countries.
The murder of Fortuyn was a horrible case, offcourse it is possible to get a gun, it also was the first ever political murder in the netherlands, I just hope it doesn't set an example in any way.
But i'm talking more about gang shootouts, intermariage murder and other violent (deadly) crimes, which are way less than in the US.
Shure, that is why crime rates in The Netherlands are lower than in almost any us state....
We don't have the right to bear arms, still, this makes me feel a lot safer when walking the streets of my town.
The knowledge that it is hard to get a firearm, and the very low amount of deadly crimes makes me feel much safer than the idea of every crazed maniac being able to get a gun.
That was what i was saying in the second part of the message, live music, like for example orchestra's are very much the only ones that are better than on cd.
Some rock bands are better live than on cd, but these are few and far between, Iron Maiden, Marillion and Magna Carta are a few.
Some more: Ayreon-into the electric castle (dutch) Within Temptation-Mother earth (dutch) Luca Turilly-King of the nordic twilight (italian) Therion-Vovin (nordic)
Lost of bands have good albums instead of just good songs, look further than the big music corporations in america.
Why duck and run? A real audiophile will agree, even the sacd and dvd-audio player i have will never give me the same quality as a good live show...
The only problem with live rock/pop is that usually the quality of the band and equipment is horrible without the studio to back them up in mixing.....
Actually, there are several other programs that do the same as bnetd, except for one thing, they were not useable for the warcraft 3 beta, which is why bnetd is getting kicked so hard....
Actually, since i work for a tech. outsourcing company, I can say that 99% of the customers we get is less than computer literate. I can't say for American support or even other European companies, but we have a quite capable team out here, and do support for several of the biggest companies in the world.
Offcourse, over here you actually earn quite a bit as a tech support agent.
Furthermore, the biggest restriction is what the company we do support for really wants, if they don't want us to help with specific problems, we can't do shit, even if it is easy as hell to solve.
Offcourse, it really depends on the place you are buying, usually, larger chains sell at a higher price (strangely enough), while smaller local shops sell for better prices to stay alive. Example (the Netherlands) Soad,Toxicity: Free record shop(largest chain in holland)20 euro's, about $19. Local store(my fav.) 14 euro's about $13.
Please reconcider some things: Since the falldown of the russian army, several nukes have gone 'lost'. If America uses nukes against his enemies, what will stop them from using nukes on the US?
Damn, this is just one of those days i'm happy i don't live anywhere close to the USA.
Fortunately the Greens over here are not a margin party, they cannot influence much on their own, but do have some influence in bigger majority votes. The best thing i like about more choice, is that you can vote either for one of the 3 bigger parties, or get someone in the government who will question such people, so there is more control and stability. In the Netherlands, at least 2-4 parties need to agree on something before it can go through to become a law.
The widespread support of death penalty? In Which F*cking Country?????? Last time I checked none of The EU countries has a deathpenalty. BTW: The EU is not a lawmaking body, only a regulating one.
I don't know about the exact wording in the USA, But in the Netherlands it is legal to make a copy for backup purposes etc. I had the "honour" to be in court over this with several software companies, because their cd's where not copyable.
Maybe if you would use a Dutch/german system for elections you would be better of... All parties get funding from the government (tax money= the 'real' people), Every party gets to say their part on the national tv station, which is still payed by the people instead of a media corporation. This at least gives all parties an equal chance, we have way more difference to vote from (over 14 parties, of which 9 bigger ones.) than America (only 2 mayor parties).

Then I misunderstood you, Appologies for that.
Still, it seems the moderators are on crack again, why is my answer to a statement off topic????

Hmmm let me check:
Pink floyd, nope, very different build.
Within Temptation, some yes, some no.
Rhapsody, Not a single 'normal' song.
I'll stop here, my music is probally not popular enough, not being from the USA etc.....
Nope, actually most house/techno comes from europe, it was invented in Germany and the Netherlands, expanded to Great Brittain, and to the USA. Certain styles never even made it to North America.

They already have this, it is called sacd, and sounds like vynil. The issue is that few companies support the format.

This is the EU?? Right, we have more parties in holland alone (14+) than in america, Actually, this term describes america better than it does europe.
