There are very few countries that have a slightly less restrictive stance on drugs and those countries are all being coerced by other countries into adapting stricter laws
.
There is a worldwide momentum to see drug abuse as health problem instead of a criminal issue, and consequently to de-criminalize the personal use of (some or all) drugs: Mexico Portugal Argentina
Similar legislation has been approved in Colombia, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Spain
I see no sign of countries being 'coerced' into stricter drug laws.
Good idea! The only thing they'd would have to filter out in Iran are pictures that show women in short-sleeved shirts, man in shorts, and any blasphemous or immoral music. That leaves plenty of space on the server for... eh... ahum... linux distros!
It is not in the Netherlands, to play music on your website (even in the form of linked radio stations) you have to pay a license fee.
The BUMA/Stemra claims *everyone* has to pay, but that they won't ‘go after non-commercial sites’.
Article in Dutch in a sub-standard newspaper, is the only source I can find about this now, but I am sure BUMA/Stemra won't forget their plans.
The path to truly sustainable mobility is the open source concept. Just like open source software, the product is 'open to all.' The c,mm,n car blueprint and the c,mm,n mobility concepts are freely available under an open source licence. This allows the whole world to take part in the development of truly sustainable mobility. Everyone is free to use and modify the design. The only condition is that any resulting derived designs are returned to the c,mm,nity as open source.
...and the battles. When I saw the movies and the battles started rolling, I had a vivid memory of how boring I had found these in the book too (and that was 25 years in the past)
One shouldn't have to submit to what amounts to sexual molestation.
Please read the sad story of Foukje Dillema, who wasn't seen outside her house for a year, after she had been confronted with such a test - in 1950!!! Only two years ago (after her death) the Dutch athletic union apologized for the whole ordeal and re-entered her times in the Dutch list of national athletic records.
The Dutch version of the article is a lot more detailed, but I am not sure if it will survive a google translation.
The long time effects of tinfoil hats hasnt been properly researched yet. The problem is nobody knows if its dangerous yet. In ten-twenty years time we will know for sure and some slashdotters may want to be on the safe side.
Right! Just yesterday I suffered from cellular damage because of radiation! Those damned gas ovens radiate enormous amounts of infrared. It's about time somebody acts and designs some mitts that block infrared, that stuff is just everywhere. And when they are on to that, could they please do something about DHMO usage too? My son spilled the stuff all over himself yesterday, and who knows what happens next?
Of course you can always collect your cat lovers hatemail in a book, as the Dutch artist Tinkebell did with all the mail she received after turning her cat into a purse. Oh and of course she didn't just collect the hatemail, she also searched the Internet for pictures and stories of her hatemailers.
From the NRC article:
The hate mail generated by the Pinkeltje project forms the basis of Simonse's latest project. The artists has collected the thousands of threatening emails she received between 2004 and 2008, and published them in a yellow pages-size book titled Dearest Tinkebell.
The book has already stirred a controversy of its own because Simonse doesn't just publish the emails - almost a thousand of them - but also the names, ages, addresses of the people who sent them. She also provides links to people's YouTube videos and MySpace profiles, and any embarrassing information, photos or videos she found there.
Yes, it's a 5,000 year old marriage manual with religious overtones.
According to the Dutch indologist Herman Tieken it is not a manual at all, but a parody of a manual. To be more specific, parody of the Arthashastra, a treatise on kingship and forms of government.
Think about how small that is, and how large a cubic meter is. I'm not impressed. You can find a few molecules of almost anything almost everywhere, if you have sensitive enough equipment.
You will be impressed when you travel from Barcelona to Dubai. In Dubai they have a minimum 4-year jail sentence for possession of drugs, with no lower limit for the amount of drugs. If they can jail you for 3mg stuck to the sole of your shoe or the poppy seeds from your bagel, then you'll want to use the plane's emergency oxygen for cleaning your lungs before landing. Unless you want to breath Dubai air for 4 years in a row.
I've always believed that it is better to regret having done something than to regret having not done it.
You are not quoting the Butthole Surfers, are you? Intro to "Sweat Loaf", from Locust Abortion Technician? Unfortunately, the iTunes 30 seconds intro preview are not enough for this song, you will have to sample it elsewhere.
Because the age that vaccines are given is the same age that the symptoms of autism (et al) start to manifest. It's as simple as that.
Indeed, it is exactly the same mechanism that derives a lot of children from breastfeeding. A lot of really young children have stomach/intestine spams (sorry, I don't know the exact English term) that are hard for the kid and for the parents. So after a couple of weeks soothing crying babies people tend to try feeding powder milk instead of breastfeeding - and voila, the spams ease out. But these spams -always- ease out after a couple of weeks. Scientifically proven, but you can't convince a parent with that argument.
A good example indeed. The problem of overgrazing on communal grounds is quite old. In the north east of the Netherlands a lot of communal grazing grounds turned into drifting sand because of overgrazing centuries ago.
Local families even were named after the drifting sands, or in Dutch 'stuifzand': Peter Stuyvesant.

Brainwashed podcast.
He wasn't the first to break the phone, but this Dutch reviewer did need more time (and more tools).
I am the only one who was imediately reminded of the Jenny Holzer truism?
Meet the meat
Inamo was featured on Engadget and definitely a place to check out.
One place I would have liked to check out but which did not fit in my trip are the cabinet war rooms where you can see (amongst other WW2 things) the hotline between the UK prmier and the US president on display.

As a resident of 'Holland' I have to give a stern warning about the parent's post: walking around in surf gear in Holland will get you a pneumonia.
So, what is the sharia punishment for speeding? Amputation of the right foot? I'd pay the 60 Francs and shut up if I were him!

It would have been helpful if I had linked to the pigeon English translation.
GPS is already used for tracking birds. I just read they use a 14 grams GPS receiver + radio transmitter + solar cell combination that lasts over a year. If you can attach it to a bird, there will be ample space to attach it to a kid.

For a moment you had me scared there: no cell phone reception! But then I figured out I could still use VOIP over WiFi if needed - that saved my day.
