  1. Re:LED on Woman Attacked In San Francisco Bar For Wearing Google Glass · · Score: 5, Informative

    just stop pointing your camera at me. I don't care if it's showing a red light or not. She was being obnoxious, and wouldn't stop when asked.

  2. Re:Solving Canibalism on First Ever Public Tasting of Lab-Grown Cultured Beef Burger · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Kosher bacon!

    if it's grown in a petridish, it's not from a pig, right?

  3. Re:Time to start thinking on US Entertainment Industry To Congress: Make It Legal For Us To Deploy Rootkits · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just to make sure it's not plagiarized ofcourse... because that's piracy too...

  4. Re:Separate the fluids? on Hanford Nuclear Waste Vitrification Plant "Too Dangerous" · · Score: 1

    solids can leak too. think bucket of sand with a hole in the bottom.

  5. Re:Isn't that what swearing is for? on Lamenting the Demise of Hangups · · Score: 1

    dont swear.. get a referee whistle. works especially well against call centers, as they cannot take off their headphones fast enough.

  6. Re:Germany... on UK Government To Spy On Computers of the Jobless · · Score: 1

    it sounds like slavery to me, because people are forced to work and do not get any wages. A workforce for the government should be paid at least minimum wage, and not be on welfare which comes with a lot of other restrictions. The system asks a LOT in return for welfare... more than a job, in my dutch experience.

  7. Re:Reasons for either on ITU To Choose Emergency Line For Mobiles: 911, or 112? · · Score: 1

    at least in the netherlands, you still can. pulse dialing is still supported.

  8. Re:Double dipping on Austrian Blank Media Tax May Expand To Include Cloud Storage · · Score: 1

    yes, there's a tax on phones, drives, dvd's... but you only pay the tax once, when you buy the item. You are NOT taxed every time you copy a song from one medium to another. It's not a tax on transfer. it's a tax on devices.

  9. Re:Less noise? on FIA Adds Rome To Formula E 2014 Inaugural Season · · Score: 1

    nah.. 99% of the fun is the crashes. F1 is too safe to be fun any more, and the competition itself is NEVER shown. get rid of the races, put the cars on a roller setup to see who built the fastest car, and show us the construction process. because it's not about the driver. it's about the cars and how they're built.

  10. Re:Apples and Oranges... on With Pot Legal, Scientists Study Detection of Impaired Drivers · · Score: 1

    the currently known tests do not test for high, impairment or being under the influence. They test whether there is THC in the blood or saliva. This is the reason why this test is not used in the Netherlands. The law clearly states that driving under the influence of marihuana is not allowed, but that is not something these tests can show.

  11. Re:But that's not the real problem. on To Encourage Biking, Lose the Helmets · · Score: 1

    In my experience in the Netherlands, cyclists have pretty good respect for the laws. Car-drivers though... that's another thing. even a basic rule like the maximum speed seems too hard to understand for most, and that's with the very loose control of the maximum speed. you are even allowed to break the maximum speed legally. drive 125 km/h where 120 km/h is the limit, and you will not get fined.

  12. Re:Yes, you can do that. on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 4, Informative

    legality will differ by country. In the netherlands this is perfectly legal.

  13. Re:Wouldn't it be funny on NASA Rocket Barrage Will Light Up Mid-Atlantic Coast · · Score: 1

    if you can laugh about bombing iran, you can laugh about the bombing of the twin towers.

  14. Re:How is 'legal' determined? on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Scrub Pirated Music From My Collection? · · Score: 2

    also, legality of ripped music is different in many countries. suppose you visit a friend in the Netherlands. he has a CD or DVD you like. you can sit down behind his computer and copy it, and the resulting copy is perfectly legal. it does not have to be a direct copy, mp3 or any music or video format is just fine. it's different if the friend copies it for you, in that case he's illegally spreading copyrighted material. you can take your copied CD back home, and it's still legal as far as I know, under the Berne convention.

  15. Re:Remember Carter? on US To Fire Up Big Offshore Wind Energy Projects · · Score: 1

    because pollution is not properly taken into account of profits. companies make the profits, everyone gets the pollution.

  16. Re:err... on Sometimes It's OK To Steal My Games · · Score: 1

    strange... I work for a company. they own my hard work, not I. In general, other people DO own someone's hard work, and build their own works on the hard work of other people.

  17. Re:Stupid on Scrabble To Allow Proper Nouns · · Score: 1

    3) No really, aQrzzxxq is brand of peanut butter in Upper Mongolia.

    silly? yes, but brand names are allowed, and these need not be english brand names. It could be an Upper Mongolian brand, a dutch name or a tunesian company.

  18. I don't see the problem on China Admits Use of Death-Row Organs · · Score: 1

    I really don't see the problem with using organs from dead people, they don't need or use them any more. nobody gets hurt. I do have a big problem with killing though, which includes the death penalty.

  19. Re:It justifies on 45% of Dutch Media-Buying Population Are "Pirates" · · Score: 1

    actually, that's not legal...

  20. Re:It justifies on 45% of Dutch Media-Buying Population Are "Pirates" · · Score: 1

    funny thing is... copying music and movies isn't illegal in the netherlands. the 'excuse' for legally downloading movies and music is that I want to see or hear it.

  21. Re:Idiots on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    over here, each and every hamas missile reaches the news. there is very little in the common press on israeli misbehaviour, that usually has to come through all kinds of websites. yes, media coverage is strongly biased... in favour of the israeli occupying forces.

  22. Re:God is a proper name. on LHC Forces Bookmaker To Lower Odds On the Existence of God · · Score: 1

    God's not a name, it's a profession or a kind of creature. for christians it's the only one, and since they can't mention his name, his profession is capitalised. what if it turns out that Zeus, Hera and Poseidon exist? in that case, god should not be capitalised.

  23. Re:Just another excuse 4 passive aggressive asshol on Fuel Efficiency and Slow Driving? · · Score: 1

    just be patient. the speed limit is an upper limit. get used to people thinking differently than you, and acting accordingly.

  24. Re:Bush's comments on the issue on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    safety-rocks not only work against terrorism, they also keep you safe from tiger attacks and the re-entry from satellites in the athmosphere!

  25. Re:Ever heard of the Greenhouse effect? on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1

    I'd use a slightly different equation:

    2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O
