So, does anyone know where I can buy the UK English editions of Tintin?

Maybe also of interest: the Computer Museum of the University of Amsterdam.

Disabling Flash on Mac OS X

On: Disabling Flash in the Browser?

I went to /Library/Internet Plugins/ in the Terminal, and issued this command:

Now the web browser is no longer allowed to access the Flash plugin. Simple, and good enough for me.

No, 'aap' is not the same as 'ape'. It's: aap = monkey mensaap = ape (gorilla, chimpanzee, orang-utan, gibbon) Though aap and ape have the same etymological root of course. JP
