  1. then use google.com on Google Breathes New Life Into EU's Cookie Law · · Score: 1

    I'm in the Netherlands but always use google.com. I don't see a banner. If I go to google.nl I see the banner, although it is not as conspicuous as the OP makes us believe. Anyway, I'm sticking with google.com!

    Have you ever heard of ad blockers?

  3. Re:shockingly on Nano-Suit Protects Bugs From Vacuums · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Apparently not:

    ..., they found that the young fly wiggled in place for an hour as if everything was fine. When they put another larva in the same vacuum and let it sit there for an hour before bombarding it with the microscope's electrons, it predictably dehydrated to death. Somehow, the electron stream was keeping the larva alive and so unscathed that it later grew to become a healthy fruit fly.

  4. Re:pixels 7.5 larger on Canon Shows the Most Sensitive Camera Sensor In the World · · Score: 1

    The object was to build a sensitive sensor. The larger the pixels the more sensitive they get... Who cares about resolution?

  5. No on Future Fighters Won't Need Ejection Seats · · Score: 2

    Maybe it's time to stop spending billions on obsolete wars.

  6. Java SE on Researcher Develops Patch For Java Zero Day In 30 Minutes · · Score: 1

    So, Java SE stands for Java Sandbox Escape... Interesting!

  7. Re:I don't understand why they're doing this on EU Set To Charge Microsoft Over Ruling Breach · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can ship the screen in the code, but if you never show it to users what good is it then? Microsoft admits they didn't comply, so what's the problem with the EU fining Microsoft?

  8. Re:They have to ban Windows in EU on EU Set To Charge Microsoft Over Ruling Breach · · Score: 1, Funny

    Do you suggest they raid almost every home in the EU to seize all Windows computers? Or do you want the EU to make it impossible for Microsoft to send updates to Windows computers? Or do you want the EU to detain all Microsoft CEOs (or whatever they're called), like they did in Brazil with the Google CEO? Please tell me what it is you want if you say they should ban Windows?

  9. Re:SI units, please on Synthetic Materials Set New World Record For Greatest Amount of Surface Area · · Score: 1

    Blame your government!

  10. Re:Do they have better gloves? on MIT Works On Mars Space Suit · · Score: 1

    I have never heard of an astronaut who lost his/her fingernails. Where did you get this info?

    Thanks, just wasn't sure... It is not my mother tongue.

    Diabetes has to do with the inability to digest sugar, not fat... (sorry for my English)

  13. Seems to me... on Google Touts Worker Tracking As Own CEO Goes MIA · · Score: 1

    it isn't Larry Page who is MIA but his voice!

  14. Re:China is Austria’s second largest trading on China Pirates Austrian Village · · Score: 2

    No, Austria and Australia didn't get mixed up. You don't think China could be their second largest trading partner, right after, let's say, neighbor country Germany?

  15. Re:Dreadful summary on Opa 1.0 Released · · Score: 2

    I thought it meant Software Against People. Or Submit And Pray.

    That were 8 words. Or 9 if you count the &.

  18. clean up oil spills? on "Oil Strider" Device Mimics Water Strider Insects · · Score: 1

    In oil spills, the oil floats on top of the wate, not the other way around. How can this help clean up oil spills?

  19. Re:Ensured? on Five EU Countries Taken To Court For Failing To Implement Cookie Law · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the helpful note. My English is not perfect (I'm Dutch, as you may have noticed), I learned something today!

    BTW:

    You keep using that word.

    Keep using? Where? (just curious)

  20. Not the Netherlands on Five EU Countries Taken To Court For Failing To Implement Cookie Law · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Netherlands won't get fined because they ensured Neelie Kroes of the EC they will transpose the rules: http://www.nu.nl/internet/2823753/nederland-ontloopt-nipt-europese-telecomboete.html (in Dutch).

  21. Re:1.2V of power? on DDR4 May Replace Mobile Memory For Less · · Score: 1

    You quoted the post wrong. It said "1.2v of power". Clearly the OP is talking about "the 1.2 version of power". Everybody knows LPDDR uses the 1.2 version of power. Don't you? Please read first and comment later!

    shttp:// sounds like a rather shitty protocol...

  23. Re:The Netherlands is important because... on Judge Rules Takedown of Pirate Party General Proxy Illegal · · Score: 2

    The problem is that the consequences of BREIN's actions are hard to explain, while BREIN's motives sound good to the layman (protecting creativity and all that).

    Excuse me? The layman in the Netherlands thinks BREIN are a pain in the ***, shutting down websites, proxies, making it difficult to legally (according to Dutch law) download music and movies. So, which motives do you have in mind?
