    FYI, in Spain it's called "expreso"... this could have been the mistake. "Espresso" is the italian original name. Maybe he's Spanish. Anyway, I think everyone understood his point.

  9. Re:Old news on How GPS Is Killing Lighthouses · · Score: 1

    Well, in fact, one GPS system could keep track of your position, and notify the nearest coast guard as soon as your signal is lost. Moreover, lighthouses are normally placed in high places, rocky cliffs from which the lighthouse keeper couldn't probably reach in time the place where a ship would crash. It makes sense to think that, in the near future, boats won't allow this to happen either...

  10. Re:preemptive incrimination... on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ahem... so, shouldn't I be able to choose if I want to pay for a public channel or not? Does government consider that I am not smart enough when I watch TV? Moreover, what is the percentage of Internet connected PCs which are used to watch german TV in Germany?

    Here, in Spain, public TV and radio channels (three radio stations, two TV channels plus one satellite open channel, supported by taxes, and amounting a -1 Billon Eur deficit) are, by far, the worst available. Sponsor's aren't out of them, and most visible sponsor is always the governing party.

    I don't know what 18 Eur represent compared to the German average salary, but as far as I can tell, that's 90% of the monthly fee of some ADSL connections in Spain. If public TV was to be paid by Internet users, I'm sure most people would drop their home connections and use office's bandwidth.
