  1. Re:Kind of crippled there... on UK Company Riversimple Plans a Fuel-Sipping Hydrogen Car (techienews.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    96 km/h is fast enough for the highway. Here in the Netherlands the vehicle must be capable of 60 km/h to be allowed on the highway. Typical highway speed (maximum speed) for trucks is 80 km/h, so any vehicle that can go faster than that is not a problem.

  2. Re: if you are so shocked when people on UK Cuts Men's Recommended Weekly Alcohol To 14 Units (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Here in the Netherlands we have muslims for that.

  3. Re:brilliantly absurd and hilarious on Pirate Bay Cofounder Utterly Bankrupts the Music Industry (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    everyone can claim to be a member of the group 'humanity'. Anyone can download the album, and give those rights to a group. That may be a company, or it may be the whole of humanity.

  4. Re:God isn't just "anything" on Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Now Can Perform Marriages In New Zealand (stuff.co.nz) · · Score: 1

    >God is a very precisely defined concept, not some bearded guy or any "creature" for that matter.

    is it? I've never seen the definition myself, and asking someone who believes in gods about the definition hasn't worked yet.

  5. Re:Who cares on Treefinder Revokes Software License For Users In Immigrant-Friendly Nations · · Score: 2

    The fears have NOT been ignored, rather, the pro-immigration standpoint has been completely ignored in mainstream media. Voicing that opinion leads not only to being called 'naive', or 'traitor', but also to physical threats. The problem is the rise of the extreme right, but that is not a problem that you are allowed to point out in much of europe, including the Netherlands where I live. I had a refugee center in my street. I did not notice a difference when it opened, and did not notice a difference when it closed.

  6. Re:Without government... on Uber Raided By Dutch Authorities, Seen As 'Criminal Organization' · · Score: 2

    Uber is allowed to operate in the Netherlands. It's only the UberPop services that are illegal, other parts of uber are not illegal or contested.

  7. Re:Hate Ads on AdBlock Plus Defends Ad Blocking, Applauds Marco Arment · · Score: 1

    Advertising is an agreement between advertisers and authors. If the author does not get enough money from the advertiser, blame them. Do not blame a third party who has nothing to do with your deal with an advertiser.

  8. Re:How is this news for nerds on Google Donates €1 Million To Help Refugees In Need · · Score: 4, Insightful

    clearly, they are fleeing from war to another country. That makes them refugees.

  9. Re:It's coming. Watch for it.. on Munich Planning Highway System For Cyclists · · Score: 1

    or you could just be patient and wait until there's enough room to pass safely. There is no requirement for the cyclist to pull over.

  10. Re:Model M here! on Mechanical 'Clicky' Keyboards Still Have Followers (Video) · · Score: 1

    may 8, 1989... salvaged from an earlier employer where it was just gathering dust.

    My keyboard is older than some of my colleagues...

  11. Re:Why? on Messenger's Mercury Trip Ends With a Bang, and Silence · · Score: 1

    in theory you could use a solar sail, this does not require the ejection of material. I don't think a solar sail is powerful enough though, but I'm not a rocket scientist. I just play one in KSP.

  12. Re:Hopefully this gows on At the Track With Formula E, the First e-Racing Series · · Score: 1

    and a lot less noisy, also a big plus. Racing circuits are notorious noise polluters.

  13. Re:Does Moore's law apply to Tsunamis? on Japan To Build 250-Mile-Long, Four Storey-High Wall To Stop Tsunamis · · Score: 1

    I expect Japan will hire dutch firms. Japan and the Netherlands have a long history together (including a 200+ year monopoly on trade)

  14. Re:When in Rome on Facebook Rant Lands US Man In UAE Jail · · Score: 1

    it may be their servers, but it's still censorship.

  16. Re:The crime happened to an Indian in India. on Indian Woman Sues Uber In the US Over Alleged New Delhi Taxi Rape · · Score: 1

    A bit like Uber then... Why is it bad if a human is after money, but not when a company is after money?

  17. Re:Lesser of two evils? Censor Muhammad or everyth on Facebook Censoring Images of the Prophet Muhammad In Turkey · · Score: 1

    does he think censorship is wrong? no. Facebook already censors. There is no difference between censoring breast pics and pics of some muhammed.

  18. Re:Let her be a princess on Programmer Father Asks: What Gets Little Girls Interested In Science? · · Score: 1

    and if you stay in bed all day and do nothing... you're still a princess. It's not about what you do, it's about who your parents are or who you got married to.

  19. Re:good on 3D-Printed Gun Earns Man Two Years In Japanese Prison · · Score: 0

    To most europeans that sounds utterly stupid. 1 thing is for sure: having less guns leads to less deaths. That's a good thing. Happy I don't live in Texas.

  20. Re:good on 3D-Printed Gun Earns Man Two Years In Japanese Prison · · Score: 1

    you can own it... but can you carry it openly on the street? My guess would be no. I do know a little about dutch law... and owning a fully functional and battle ready sword is allowed. You don't need a permit or licence for it. But you can't just wear it openly on the street.

  21. Re:Wrong protocol for you, you want nntp on The Man Responsible For Pop-Up Ads On Building a Better Web · · Score: 0

    I'm not responsible for the site's funding. I AM responsible for the bandwidth I pay for. I'm also responsible for how the site is rendered on my screen. I did not ask for ads, either implicitly or explicitly, and was never asked if I wanted to see ads. Advertising is also an attack vector, so blocking ads is also about my safety.

  22. Re:Wrong protocol for you, you want nntp on The Man Responsible For Pop-Up Ads On Building a Better Web · · Score: 0

    the site is paid for by putting ads among the content. Luckily, I have taken measures to prevent those ads stealing bandwidth. I have never consented to being shown ads, its purely between the site and the advertiser. The viewer is not part of the deal, so don't bother the viewer with ads, unless he asked for it.

  23. good intentions? on The Man Responsible For Pop-Up Ads On Building a Better Web · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the intention was to show advertising to people. Steal their bandwidth and hide real content without getting approval. The intentions of advertising on the web were never good, they were evil. And all that because some companies want to line their pockets.

  24. Re:Next! on US House of Representatives Votes To Cut Funding To NSA · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Funny? probably some dutchmen at work here. NSB was the dutch nazi party just before and during WW2. In dutch 'NSBer' still means traitor or snitch.

  25. Re:Very Bad Precedent on US To Charge Chinese Military Employees With Hacking · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There is already a precedent. German soldiers were tried and sentenced for carrying out orders in the concentration camps.
