  1. Scientific team claims contrary on Maybe Video Games Don't Make Kids Kill · · Score: 1

    Just last weekend I read in a local Belgin newspaper that according to a scientific research team of the University Of Utrecht(netherlands), children having grown up with videao games and having played with it, develop far better their capacities for virtual/pro-active thinking ("what would happen if ..." - like in playing chess), spacial insight, ... . It wasn't proven that playing those games increased violence.

  2. Straightforwards on Fujitsu Moves Towards Linux · · Score: 1

    Having teamed up with Siemens who was one of the first companies to implement SAP on linux, this seems a fairly straightforwards and logical evolution , I guess

  3. ISP courtordered for illegal MP3 on CMU Cuts off Net Access for 71 Students Over MP3s · · Score: 1

    Here in Belgium, major ISP Skynet was courtordered to have all links to illegal MP3 downloadsites removed.

  4. Poor America ... on A Post-Columbine Halloween Horror Story · · Score: 1

    America sure can be a strange country ...

    If this deserves 10 days in jail, what will be the sentence for writer Brett Easton Ellis, author of Best Sellers like Less Than Zero or American Psycho ...

  7. Why always TBT, how about Robert Cailleau on Weaving The Web · · Score: 1

    I admit that TBT has its merits, no doubt about that but I think it's great time that his collegue Robert Cailleau deserves more credit than given untill now.

    Most of TBT 's work, as far as I know, was co-authored by R.Cailleau.

  9. Recycling on High Tech Junk · · Score: 1

    First of all, you have to make the distinction i think between business' and private persons.

    i have the impressions private persons probably will keep them somewhere in a closet untill they get dumped.

    Business' however have various options :

    After that their hardware is written off, they have following options :

    1/ Sell old hardware to their employees (then see above)

    2/ Donate/sell for educational purposes.

    3/ Dospose of them as scrap.

    As a scrap dealer myself I'm most knowledgable in this last solution.

    in every area you willhave companies that are specialised inthe collection of electronic scrap.

    Part (minority) of this material will be recycled for reuse : SIMM, CPU, IC, ...

    The major part is recycled for the (precious) metal value. Most electronic devices contain a small amount measured in ppm of gold, silver, palladium. Through shredding and refining these metals are reclaimed and find teir way for a second life in the international metal markets.
