  1. games like these should be banned! on Presidential Gaming - A Political Machine? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think this a repulsive idea, I hope people will see that making these games is anti-socal, demoralizing and would severely degrade the public moral for supporting democracy.

    Please don't expose our children to these games as they will be filled with lies, mudthrowing and other subhuman activities. Last they will promote fraud and abuse of power. We cannot let this ruin our society!!!

    Please let our kids not play games in which they have to wage wars to win the next elections, lie to their own people, abuse their money and meanwhile take their jobs away. This is a slap in the face of democracy!

    wellicht wil je lunar-linux (http://lunar-linux.org/) eens proberen en doet dat wat je wil... oh wait this is an EN spoken forum ;^). Lunar is written in BASH and could possibly benefit from your knowledge as well. We're a small but very dedicated team making a helluva source distro. Cheers

  8. unfortunate mixup of interests... on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 3, Insightful


    This just gets to me... US judicial bodies, not a political party, a president, or something *commenting* on .eu trade regulations, which are much more open than .us ones. If they want to scare the .eu they are obviously stupid, but this just smells like Bush pushing his puppets to make clear that he and his troops will put .US companies first above everything, and they intend to smear other countries in favor of their home voters.

    Vote democrat, 5.85 billion people in the world would do so if they could!!!

  9. US mobile phones don't have removable SIM cards on How (and how well) do Wireless "Worldphones" Work? · · Score: 0, Informative


    all mobile phones in europe have a removable SIM card that allows you to change your operator as easy as swapping the sim-card (which is basically a small chipcard).

    Most new phones are locked and will only accept the operators' simcards, however it is common that after one or two years you can 'unlock' your phone either for free or for a small amount so any sim-card can be used in that phone. This will allow you to buy a pre-paid SIMcard in any country in europe and use it in your phone without any administrative changes needed.

    however, as I've seen in the US none of the mobile phones actually have a removable SIMcard, therefore you are tied to your current operator... talk about monopolizing mobile phone markets? there ya go... you are unable to purchase a genuine european phone and use it in the US. protest at your local senator.

    No it doesn't, it insists on using 169.254.MS.BS ip addresses, especially when multiple wins servers or a lagging dhcp server is around, which goofs up everyone's networking. somehow M$ thought "ATIPA" was a good idea.... morons.

  23. Excuse me but... on Will Caffeine Cause Health Problems? · · Score: 1

    If you're posting this from US soil you are whining. US coffee is weak except for some distant niches and even starbucks cannot even sell a good espresso (they cannot even make ristretto's in most shops). Last 2 weeks I was there I visited 20 assorted coffee shops only one shop came to a decent strength. Oh and coffee is *not* drunk from a paper cup!

    Over on the other side of the pond where true espresso is made and drunk (Italy, France, Spain most commonly) people enjoy stiff coffee's that would know a yanks pants off. The netherlands is famous for having people drink US sized mugs of coffee filled with French style breakfast strongness coffee. Many italian visitors to our office in rotterdam complain about the coffee being absurdly strong (heck, I like it).

    err wait, you said you were from Europe?
