As fellow dutch man, I can say, stay away from the "aldi" they still give back cents and 2 cent coins. It's the only store that does that, and every other store will hate you for trying to pay with them (but they have to accept it)
Indeed. And the worst part is, it's silly expensive!
If you want a 3D printer DO NOT GET THIS. Get something from Makerbot or Ultimaker, they sell easier to build kits that give higher quality prints for less money. RepRap is a fun project, but it takes quite a while to get usable results (lots and lots of tweaking). I have an Ultimaker myself, and took me 8 hours to build and get my first print working.
Car manufactures are already working on car to car communication (and car to roadside).
Also, if the government and big business would want to track your vehicles, they already can! We sell the tech for that. It's quite new, but it doesn't even require changes in the current infrastructure as it uses the normal induction loops in the road. It has only a 90-95% detection ratio (less when people are taking corners) but it should be enough to track your habits. We are using it to track and optimize your travel time. But who knows what till will bring...
I cannot find the story right now. But someone already did. Save 250 bucks on a car repair, some clip in his trunk had broken and he could fix it with a special printed part. The dealer could only replace a whole part of the trunk.
This was just what the guy did. Or more, the problem that this started. He made his OWN models of look-a-likes of games workshop 40k machines. They where customizable, and they where not 100% copies of originals.
1.3mm resolution? You mean... 0.02mm? Because that's what people on the Ultimaker are getting. It's not the cheapest machine, but it has a high quality. 25/kg, that's just the price of the materials right now. The supply is low and the demand is growing fast, most shops cannot keep up with the demand. Prices might drop in the future. Still, it's a very low price compared to all the 3D printing alternatives. And you do know the prints are hollow? So you don't use a lot of materials in each print.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16350 quality is not really there yet. But people are working on it. Fun fact, it's not a model from the game it's for. It's a WoW model used for a board game. Not really legal I guess, but it seems to work.
I guess DVI will stay, but DVI-A and DVI-I which both still have the VGA signal in the DVI connector are going to be a thing of the past. DVI without analogue is just HDMI without audio. Do you see HDMI go anytime soon?
EGA was introduced in 1984. VGA in 1987. Guess VGA hold up pretty well, but it's time for VGA to go. It's pushed to the limits, and if you connect a large resolution monitor to VGA you will notice it.

Much much simpler. We need to return the speech. So, lets say collectively we listen to it, with... 100.000 people? Now, we need to return the speech 100.000 times. Ever listened to the same song 100.000 times in a row? It will drive you nuts. Or we could play it once at 100.000 times the volume, which might be enough to disintegrate the person.
Same we should to do the MPAA play all the stolen songs to them! Game studios? Force them to play their buggy games!
... which had nothing to do with what I said? I said "the infrastructure owners should not be held responsible for actions of people using the infrastructure".
You reply with "but the legal stuff can be acquired by other means". Which has NOTHING to do with the issue at hand. The issue is that the wrong people are being held responsible, and that this is the first step for censorship. Which ends with 1984 becoming reality.
Doesn't make it right. Some people in cars drive around without a valid drivers license. Should traffic lights be hold responsible for letting them pass trough green? Should the phone company be responsible for someone violating a restraining order?
This is stupid, it won't work. It's only 2 ISPs (we have many more). Also, from the dutch news:
De internetprovider weet nog niet precies hoe ze technisch gezien de blokkade moeten aanpakken. "We hebben nog geen manier gevonden om dit te doen, maar misschien hebben we iets over het hoofd gezien."

The ISP does not know how to implement this block on a technical level. "We haven't found a way to do this yet, but we might have overlooked something."
Half those stats and I'm still running linux without problems. 48Mhz PowerPC, 16MB ram, 4MB flash. It's tight on flash space (new boards have 16MB) but other then that it runs pretty good.
They are already using the Arduino to do this . Which gives good results. Controlling a CNC any other way strikes me as stupid. Because you want some very hard real-time timing.
Yes you can. Even I can solder SMD with my 15 year old soldering iron. However, soldering through hole is much easier, less error prone and requires simpler tools.
I've seen someone fix an audio system with just a 12V soldering iron in the middle of a field, on a wobbly table. Try that with SMD. Usually I want my stuff to last and to be easy to fix/modify. From a hackers point of view, trough hole is just better. More expensive, but better.
Getting your name on a physics theory/phenomenon is a much larger accomplishment then a nobel prize. Who remembers nobel prize winners? I bet the list of scientists with names in physics that everyone knows is larger then the list of nobel prize winners that people know.

They are disappearing like crazy here in The Netherlands. Or are, for example, combined with post offices.

Most stores in the Netherlands have gotten rid of them. But we never had 1 or 2 cent coins pre-euro. So it came natural.
You don't. Your public ssh keys are generated with a good /dev/random, these refactorable keys are not.
Indeed. And the worst part is, it's silly expensive!

As for people wondering about the quality of these kinds of machines: http://daid.mine.nu/~daid/IMG_20120125_211716.small.jpeg this is printed on mine.
Which is the silly part, as the metal bits are the most expensive part of the machine (happy Ultimaker 3D printer owner here)

Shapes of lego pieces are legal.
3D printing land is going FAST right now. A year ago they where producing ugly blobs with RepRaps. Now they are producing this:
http://davedurant.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/ultimaker-faq-but-what-about-the-quality-of-prints/
And even those pictures are... deprecated.
This is something I printed myself, in the first week or so: http://daid.mine.nu/~daid/IMG_20110929_235158.jpeg or how about this one: http://daid.mine.nu/~daid/IMG_20111213_232929.jpeg it's only 4cm large. And that's WITH mechanical problems in my machine which effect quality. (I got a set of faulty bearings, Ultimaker is going to give me new ones)

For many filesystems, failing a fcsk means reaching for the format tools and the last (verified) backup. You are backing up everything, right?
So... you just killed your own rant by saying in the end "you should really have an fsck for an experimental filesystem so you know when it failed?"
