.. wil fly over to my home town Delft in the Netherlands and will have passionate and naugthy sex with me for one long nigth. My wife will understand why I need this and support me in every way possible, perhaps even assist in the act. Then the next morning Beyonce, extremely gratefull for the inhuman but heavenly experiences will give me 5 million dollars and one of those new cool iPod Photo's.
Actually a Dutch (national) prosecutor did something similiar a month ago. He thought his HDD failed and put his whole PC with his garbage on the street.
Unfortunatly a Taxi driver took the PC with him and managed to boot the machine and found an enormous ammount of very confidentinial information on the HDD. Information about some top crime and fraude cases. The Taxi driver then sold this HDD to a dutch TV crime fighter.
In the end this got the prosecutor fired. Which I think is sort of unreasonable, since the major issue is the justice departments lack of descent security procedure.
What geek nowadays uses pens? A modern geek would have an USB stick and/or other memory thingies sticking out of his breast pocket. And he/she would at least wear one Bluetooth headset and contact lenses instead of these Clark Kent glasses.
When I got my new SE630 phone, my first phone with polyfonic ringtones, I finally got the change to get the ringtone I always wanted, a good old solid ringgggggg... ringggggg... ringggggg... Not the beeping kind, but the real old school one: like this one
Euro key? Don't need it. Come to think of it, I bought my powerbook in the Netherlands last year and just noticed I don't have an euro key. Yes, I'm not a sales person.
And US qwerty is perfect for me. There are Dutch keyboards out there but they are extremely rare. I've been working in Germany the last couple of months and they do use German keyboards. They put the "Y" where normally the "Z" is. Really anyoning.
Im Dutch but never heard of this regional newspaper. Besides the region it's printed version is published in is rather euh.. backward (Im generalising, I know).
I also tried to subscribe to the online version but there's an error in the subscribe form. Well at least with Mozilla on a Powerbook.
I don't understand this discussion. A lot of movies and TV-series have already proven that using a former criminal is the only (cool) way to go if you really mean business?
Just ported my wifes number from a T-mobile pre-paid card to a Vodafone subscription. It took 3 days to complete. I was pretty amazed myself.
We (Europeans) also use SIM-cards in our phones and if I'm not mistaken Americans still have there "number" programmed in the phone itself. Maybe the SIM-card system is easier to port, although come to think of it, I don't see any reason why.
I'm not sure if it's a car but it certainly has a cool 'Tron' feel about it.

My wife emailed me today with a link (yes Geeks can get married)...
Yes, of course. But is she hot? Cause my fiancé is and I still don't understand the logic behind it. I'm not rich and no, it's not 11 inches.
It sometimes makes my doubt if I'm a true nerd. It's awfull when you're behind your computer writing brilliant code and some hotty is calling you from the shower. I feel like I'm torn between 2 completly different worlds!
Must admit that this sounds better, altough I think I would prefer a third party as a CA. But that's just a gut feeling.
Your suggestion just to sell CD-keys/certificates is actually quite nice. One could also image certificates with expire dates or certificates you can only use a predetermined number of times.
I think PKI would be ideal for this purpose. MAC addresses obviously not. Maybe adding PKI code to games would even encourage people to buy a personal certificate. I never had a good reason to buy one but a cheater free CS-server is certainly worth it. They could even bundle games with Verisign certificate vouchers or something.
If some people are worried about there privacy you could just create games certificates. Of course people should keep there private keys private.
I agree.
The Psion handheld keyboard design was perfect. I really don't like the current handhelds with no keyboard. But as with a lot of things I think handheld buyers (mostly gadget freaks) really fall for the cool factor instead of looking at the usability of a device.
How many people do you know how own a handheld but hardly use it? If I look around here in my office I can see at least 3 docking stations with handhelds in them which haven't left there cradles for weeks or even months.
Psion users on the other hand really use there devices intensively.
I use a Psion Netbook for this purpose for almost 2 years now. It has enormous battery live, full keyboard, 640x480 colour display, touch screen useful software etc. I wouldn't buy one now though. Although I love it and use it daily it's future is quit grim.
I'm currently looking for another device, but can't find any that suit my needs. I bought and tried Palm and Windows based devices but in the end they all sucked. The problem with these devices is that they are mostly output devices and not really user-friendly when it comes to input data. Also my Windows based handhelds crashed and shit.
What I want/need is a long battery live, full keyboard, colour screen, fast-on, stable OS , Ethernet interface, serial interface and datacomm software (terminal emu, IP-stack, IP-tools etc). Multimedia stuff I don't really need, unless they put a 20 GB disk in it. I hate 64 meg or less multi media devices.
Maybe the Zaurus has what I need. I like it's Linux based, but I'm sceptical if they can get the OS as slick and stable as Palm OS or Symbian in short term. I've played with the first Zaurus and it's user interface wasn't all that great.

I always wondered how superpowers would work in bed.
I don't think sex with Superman (DC I know) would be nice. Can imagine it would be rather lethal for the average girl. Picture this:
girl: how about this? supe: nope, nothing.. girl: and this? supe: still don't feel a thing girl: but I'm biting in it! supe: well... urm..let's try some Viagronite then
hulk: here it comes! girl: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarch!! aaaaaa..*
On the other hand:
Girl: WOW! is that your hand?? Mr.Fantastic: guess again baby!
Girl: WOOOOOOW! Vision: Yea I know. I've upgraded it with the new Vibro Pro Powerpac. Btw, I'm using the lowest setting... Girl: AAAAAH!
Girl: Impressive! Collusus: Yep. Wood is overrated.
Girls (in-sync): AAAAAH, so soft! Beast: He, he, he well, in this case soft is a good thing!
Flash: Quit the crappy remarks! Flash2:..I'm.. Flash3:..so fast.. Flash4:..I can be.. Flash5:..6 guys.. Flash6:..at once!.. Girl: I only got 3 slots! Flash1-6: Thats what you think!

They should have used stuff like this for a couple of Star Trek Enterprise episodes. That could have saved the show.

Run the cables through the whole in the stand? http://images.apple.com/imac/gallery/images/imacba ck20040831.jpg/
Or use bluethooth keyboard/mouse etc.
Bleeeeh. Stupid ninties tv show geek.

A good argument I can use so that damn security dude opens up ICMP on our firewalls.

Nah, don't worry about the laws just yet. Wait until a robot kills it's first victim!

If the beast can drive me in my car to work then I'll be impressed. Would be usefull 2. I could finally catch some Zzz stuck in traffic jams.

You're visit to Amsterdam was obviously limited to an On-Line Red-Light district visit.
