>and that the movie industry will likely delay the releases of new films here.
Actually, I think piracy is the most probable cause that more movies are released worldwide at the same moment. If release schedules differ, it becomes much more interesting to view a pirated movie then if it is already playing in theatres everywhere.
Not living in the US of A, I notice that more and more movies can be seen here at the same moment as they are released in the USA.
I laughed at the bit where they say the key's RF signal only goes 7 inches. I get the same laugh when I read about those RF credit card transponders only going 11 inches.
Oh my god, this system is awful. Whenever you're in a train crossing a border, or arriving at an airport, 500 phones simmultaneously go beep beep... beep beep to alert them that they... well... Crossed a border, I guess...
Oh I remember now, it is to alert you that you're in a different country and calling on your mobile is gonna cost a small fortune.
My supervisor was thrilled with his new toy, a new tomtom navigator for his company car. So he goes out to somewhere just to test it. After 10 minutes, a call comes in and he asks: "You know, I have been able to enter my destination, but how do I tell this thing what my departure point is?"...

To be very honest, it's not very exciting (yet?). Why is the main character walking around so slowly? The telephone conversation at the beginning... Well, no-one talks like that in real life. Am I missing something? Is it that I'm Dutch and don't get it?
I have been thinking about the following for a while; is it possible to create a little LCD-display that at the flick of a button produces a random barcode within a given range? This would be a very nice way to f*** the system.
It would have to fit in a credit-card sized container ofcourse, and one would have to make sure the person behind the counter would actually accept it. But it would be fun.
You may be glad these are the only things happening to you. Our ever tax-hungry Dutch governemnt has much better plans to invade people's privacy. Every car has to get a chip that is constantly monitored for its position using satellite technology (or mobile telephone technology, they're not sure yet). Yes. All cars in the Netherlands will constantly transmit their positions so the government can keep tack of how many kilometers you have ben driving, which in turn defines how much extra tax you have to pay. It's called kilometerheffing (milage tax) and yes, the same thing can be done by raising the tax on every litre of gasoline sold...

So if you create the algorythm that sees this pattern, and trades accordingly, you win.

Mine does 13 inches...

This guy supervises a computer helpdesk.
and it makes me wonder what idiots bid on something early?
Well... Probably... (And I'd like to say I have never done this), you have a friend bid early on, so there is at least one bid...

You seem to have a very special relationship with your OS...
If you plot the percentage of doctors in a society, and the percentage of illnesses in a society, you will get 2 lines that follow a similar path.
