Europeans are condescending, snouty, arrogant bastards who murdered the Native Americans.
2 Weeks ago I met this Native American in the Mid-West, to whom I apologised for the damage done in the past. After I bought him a beer, he replied he felt perfectly OK by the fact they now owned the casino's. I saluted to that.
Without the rest of the world, the US would not contain more than some indians chasing bisons with arrows and bows... hence, the web would be European!
The difference here being that the other countries most likely would introduce restrictions on the internet
US Citizens tend to think they live in the free-est of free countries in the world, where other countries (especially European countries) point at the US for it's lack of freedom.
"If you are after small and stylish devices with good battery life, simple interface and simple PIM apps, go with PalmOS"
BeOS was the OS for multimedia, before Palm bought the remains of Be Inc. I find it painful to see that, according to this review, the OS to have, when in need of multimedia, is Pocket PC.
Palm has shown is has wasted BeOS. So now it's time to open up the source. You owe us, dammit!

I think Taco went wrong with the Italic-tag, as it should read:

Do you have any idea how many V6 and V8-engines there are driving around in the US, compared to Europe? Do you have any idea about what the emission is of diesel-engines that use particlefilters (compulsory since some years), compared to regular gas-engines? And you really wanna say that cities like London and Rome have higher smog than the larger cities in, say, California?
Do you know why the USA never signed Kyoto? Because it's industry can't work by the strict anti-pollution rules that Kyoto prescribes.
What would happen if you'd shoot a transport-rocket filled with nuclear waste into the sun?
OK, launching rockets filled with nuclear waste from the earth is expensive and way too dangerous. But I am just thinking of this at this moment, if it would make make sense when you'd have a selfsufficient nuclear plant on the moon and need to get rid of the waste in an effective way.
Tell a sales guy an IE-only site will skip out 10% of his clients or potential customers. He'll take the 25% extra... although 25% more expensive is a very high percentage, but that's another discussion.
Until we can pursuade a lot of ignorant web developers
What helps for me so far (100% score until now): If you find an IE-only website, make a screendump of what the website looks like in FireFox, and mail it to the sales- or marketing-dept of the company. You can be sure they contact their developer/ site-maintainer about it.
If you contact the "developer" directly, you can end in a yes/no battle about W3C, so get to the guys with the money instead
WTF ever happened with modding here!? It was just a friggin question! Perhaps it was off-topic, but still, it was just a question about RFID and not meant to start a mud-throwing event.
I personally have a fear of abuse of RFID, and I expected people to give me an idea why I am wrong about that.
Definately not to go offtopic (since I have quite some relatives in the US), but I personally DO keep my *EURO's* in my pocket, since airlines and the US-government seem to have interest in my diet, my medical history, and my cc-number, just to enter the friggin' country.
Add RFID to that, and I wonder what things of my daily life are left unknown to the public. I ain't crossing the pond for the coming years, and I hope this ridiculous need of tracking people and their habits won't go that far overhere.
Using the term "Fighting terrosism" for entering my personal life is a very, very bad excuse. I personally see RFID as a furthergoing extension to that.
That list you show here, shows how we already have gone by giving away our privacy. Don't you think RFID will make it very easy to take away the last tiny bit we have left?
Just asking: What is the difference between RFID and spyware? Both seems to enable companies to track and trace me, where spyware has the advantage that it can be removed by using tools like Spybot or ad-Aware.

Keep your cheddar. We only might use it for tires on our cars.

So they left out the Mid-West as well? ;-)
The US tries to control the world, where Europe only asks to be part of a worldwide computer-infrastructure.

Anyone in for a Cuba Libre^H^H^Hnux-distro? Or will it be Fidel Distro?
or the National Online Operations and Battle Services
It got modded down. People clearly missed the joke (it sounded much like Taco's words, rather than an anonymous reader).
:-)
And yup, you are right on the quotes. But that was not the issue of my post.

Spot the difference.
Here's a scoop.
Do you know why the USA never signed Kyoto? Because it's industry can't work by the strict anti-pollution rules that Kyoto prescribes.

That's a good one. I'll remember that one too.

Thank you, now that was a plain and simple answer to my question. :-)
Then you tell me, instead of being a troll yourself.
