We've had "analog" ID cards forever, so there was no great controverse when the gov decided to switch to eID. We were used to carrying some form of ID all the time anyway. It is in countries where the carrying of IDs is new that the people feel watched all of a sudden, I think.
Only advantages here: harder to forge, simple way of logging in to gov sites (secured email by our post office, fill out tax forms, request official paperwork from your home-town, etc...), oh yeah, and they are smaller then the old ones -> bank card sized
What could happen if lange amounts of fresh water hit the oceans? Right, the salt level changes. The stream (sush as Gulf stream) start moving, re-designing the climate. We're heading for an ice-age.
By the way, when are you stupid americans going to have a look at that Kyoto thing?
...that stuff like that takes Americans about 4 months longer to realise than the rest of the world? You should start reading non-American newspapers if you want the real information about what's going on in the world.
My first 10:

- PHP
- MySql
- CDex
- mIRC
The Belgian Official Mail services were planning to do the opposite. Printing emails and delivering it to for ex. elderly people. That way evrybody has email, even if you do not have internet available.
Wait... Brussels is about 75km from the North Sea and a small 1000 km from the Mediterranean. Wouldn't it be easier to kick them to the North Sea?

Isn't your BA in Psych is enough to be a boss in the IT department???
How can 25 km/h be more mi/h?
...once the US dollar rises over Euro.
