  1. Re:Bribing on Dutch Gov't Doubles Back On Open-Source Goals · · Score: 1

    Althoug i agree it will be impossible to put everyone on Linux (yet) it has to do with training, especially of the people calling the shots. There are a lot of nice MS sponsored seminars and other 'interesting' free gatherings. Althoug it is not directly giving stuff to IT bozo's I can understand that some people see it as bribing, others only see 'marketing'. (I have atended some of these 'lets all praise the virtues of lock-in software' gatherings back in the days I did not know better, listening to 'new and uniqe' features like quota's in Windows servers)

  7. Did anyone see The Lift on Nerve Cells Successfully Grown on Silicon · · Score: 1

    The Lift is a Dutch movie about a thinking lift. It's quite old and seems to be badly duped in the states. See the Reviews here, here and here. It has been quite some while i've seen it (the native version) and i thougt it was scary than. probably was 1988 then ...

  14. Re:Steal It on Israel Suspends MS Office Purchases For Now · · Score: 1

    I assume you tried to read my post, but i gather that you did not understand that i condemn both sides. Destroying civilian lives and property is no way to win a war. but there seem to be a group of verry hard headed people there who do not seem to se the cycle of violence theyr in. When someone explains his position using his argumants both sides seem plausible up to a given level. Both have crossed my lines. When an group is driven to extreemes the extremists get a firm ground, with all the horrific side effects this has. Therefore i not only blame the extremists on the palestinian side. As the Israeli people still have much more resources (e.g. money, international standing, influence) they should be able to make the first steps (be the wiser ?), but all i hear from the probably biast BBC that every positive step (however small) is rewarded with new settlements and more demands.

  15. Re:Steal It on Israel Suspends MS Office Purchases For Now · · Score: 1

    I'm not shure if i beleive the anti or pro israel story. I agree that anti-israel is not anti-jews. I have a bit more in for the palestinian side as i can see that there is no way they can bring in something agains the huge force of the israeli army. (Big brother is crushing you). There is no way to make suicide bombers be a good reaction, but shooting a tank with a AK-47 does not seem a 'fair fight'. I for certain can not grasp what drives these people to the brink of mutual destruction. Flaiming someone anonymously also does not really make your statement valid... Eb. stil wondering when Peace relly gets a meaning in the middle east.

  22. Re:I don't know what to be: happy, sad, indifferen on SpamCop To Be Sold To IronPort? · · Score: 1

    As for the taking over of Spamcop I do not really know, money is really good, corporate bozo's making strange decisions after they made something their own can be bad. But for as far the other posts go; no real problem there either.
    As for Black/Block lists I do not really know why everyone makes such a fuss about the block lists.
    I need to elaborate a bit so bear with me.
    A block list is just a specially configured DNS that returns special addresses for servers that chipped in their bit for spam. (Nothing wrong with this)
    A blocker is a piece of software on the receiving end that is configured by the local administrator to ignore any server that is listed in one of these Black/Block lists. (Something fishy here)

    So why do all the Block/Blacklist servers get so much flaming, aim at the misguided administrators that configure their mail server to unscrupulously block mail from every 'might-be-spammer-because-it-send-one-offending-ma il'
    You already use SpamAssasin and for as far as I know you can put weight on every block/blacklist you use so set it up like 'presumed spammer' = 1 'known spammer' = 2 'confirmed relay' = 2 and let the rest of the mail tell its own story before the mail get discarded.
    I see block/blacklists as a traffic light; does everybody stop for a red light? Even if the intersection is clear at 2am?

  23. Re:No suprise on E-voting Patches Skew Election? · · Score: 1

    You are perfectly right, the solution with the second ballot box mentioned below makes it unneccecary to use obscurity to hide, making it possible for the voter to check the result.

    In addition to this the one claiming the vote to be rigged afterwards should pre pay the recount, if it is rigged a full inquiery would show who is realy to blame..

    Nice idea but this ruins the 'personal'/'blind' vote open for rigging. (who will give $10 for every ballot with vote for X)

  25. You wish you had the european rules on Can You Sue Over Loss of Personal Information? · · Score: 1

    In europe you are ALWAYS the owner of your personal information. The Holder and the Responcible (some legal stuff i guess) have to remove you if you ask for it, If they don't they risk a hefty fine.
    In the netherlands you have to register every database containing personal (conecteble to an individual) information.

    Beats the 'trustbased' (sic) system (and makes for some extra government jobs ;-)
