Your reasoning for including the Netherlands and excluding Germany is a very fragile one.
Let me see... People roll from their bed into their car (via a door between the house and the garage), drive to work and park under the building. Lunch in the canteen, and in the evening the same path and sitting in front of the TV. 90% of the people in the apartment block I'm living in does live this way and get no direct sunlight for weeks. I think I found the reason why people have a vitamin D deficiency!
Nothing against Schneier (I love his cryptogram newsletter), but adding 13 words to a 65 word paragraph without giving any real information or further thoughts isn't really what I consider worth mentioning.
A typical snow crystal weighs roughly one millionth of a gram. This means a cubic foot of snow can contain roughly one billion crystals...
Who made one cubic foot equal to 1000 grams? I'll smash him with one cubic foot of lead!
(ps for the metric vs imperial system: one cubic decimeter of water is one liter, and one liter of water weights one kilogram, so one cubic decimeter of water weights one kilogram:-)
The Viking space probes of 1976-77 were looking for the wrong kind of life, so they didn't recognize it, a geology professor at Washington State University said.
Sensationatilism:
Two NASA space probes that visited Mars 30 years ago may have found alien microbes on the Red Planet and inadvertently killed them, a scientist is theorizing.
To show how full of crap it is:
Schulze-Makuch acknowledges he can't prove that Martian microbes exist, but given the Martian environment and how evolution works, "it makes sense."
So if there are microbes left, NASA was lucky, and if there are none, NASA has killed them all. And if there are microbes, Schulze-Makuch is happy because NASA didn't kill them all and his name is in history again, while if there are none, it would be exactly how Schulze-Makuch had predicted it!
Yesterday the Netherlands completely ended transmission of analog television signals, becoming the first country in the world to do so. So what about cars and portable TVs? I'm guessing a market will emerge for portable set top boxes / converters."
My version:
Yesterday the Netherlands stopped broadcasting the analogue terrestrial TV signal. Despite the huge number of televisions, only 78 thousand households are affected. How does this come? In the 60s, the forest of antennas on the roofs were replaced by a single big antenna per suburb or township, with cables going from there to every house. In the 80s, these single big antennas were replaced by a single receiver point per city or regional area, giving every house a huge range of terrestrial and satellite channels. So despite that the terrestrial analogue TV signals has been cut off, everybody is still receiving the analogue signal via the cabling system.
I admit, it is less sensational and less dramatic: Sorry for the noise and extra information.
The Cisco Call Manager express, is that using the proprieatary[sp] SCCP or SIP?
We're looking for a way to overcome the silly licensing issue with the CCM Unity voicemail, but have not a solution yet on how to access the voicemail from the messages-button on the 79x0 phones.
With the current growth of the population, the pollution of our environment, the amount of mass destruction weapons and the tricks mother nature (and the universe) plays on us, I don't think that we have to worry much about what is happening in 100,000 years. Let's first survive the next hundred years, and do that a thousand times:-)
Here in Australia, or at least large (for big values of large) amounts of it, it's all above ground too. Where I'm coming from, the Netherlands, it's all below ground.
When I discuss it with the people here, they give me all kind of reasons why it should be above ground (limited but not only to unable to quickly repair, the famous cable cut from people digging and, believe it or not, the people who are doing the repairs now would be jobless).
Just a quick glance about how it could be done and you'll see that it would be quite a trick anyway: All footpaths in Australia are large blocks of concrete or asphalt, and the nice small tiles you see in shopping centers are also just laying above a concrete layer. Opening up that would be a major++ operation. Compare it to the Netherlands where all footpaths (and most of the bicyclepaths) are just 30x30 cm tiles laying on top of yellow or black sand, you'll see that it has a historical tradition to put things underground and have them easily accessible.
People working on the FreeBSD Ports Collection have had this discussion too with regarding to re-distributed RPMs for for example the linux Userland emulators.
At the end they decided just to download the original SRPMS and make them available at the FreeBSD ftp sites too, just to get out of the hassle of it.
By a previous employer, I was working in a team with a horror-writer, a amateur[sp] lockpicker, a juggler and firebreather, a bunch of people with an interesting history of computer security and somebody who was so socially unreliable that it was remarkable he never got kicked out.
Guess what? That was the only part of the company (AFAIK) which was a real team, and the only department in the company which made a real profit.
So, just because your name shows up in the internet no questionable sites shouldn't be how they judge you. How good you are at your job and in your team, that's how they should judge you.
At this moment we, an ISP in the Sydney centre, are replacing all our radio links (enterasys roamabout, tsunamis etc) with Lightpointe laser links.
Why? Because there are too many other users with radio links which interfere with our with our links. Don't get me wrong, they have served us well in the last seven years, but right now the game is over. There is only one radio link left, between the 62nd and 36th floor of two buildings, because the signal has to punch through a concrete wall which laser can't do yet:-)
And I like the speed improvement. Going from 2.2 - 5.5 - 11Mbps to 100Mbps is nice for the users:-)

Interesting that they left out a German version. After all, there way much more Germans than Dutchmen.

and what commercials they are skipping.
Out of this information they also determined the time that people sleep in front of the television:
- 100% commercial skipping: awake
- 0% commercial skipping: asleep
Other values were not registered.

One of the great features of email is immediacy.
Whoever sold your email as a realtime medium clearly has no idea what he was talking about. Or he did and you fell for it. Want to buy a bridge?
If you're refering to the AT&T vs BSDi lawsuit, you're 10 years late :-)

I love it when John Howard goes over to the USA for a visit and comes back...
... One time he came back with the idea of an Free Trade Agreement

I don't know what they feed him there in Washington, but it surely isn't healthy.
