  1. Re:The Netherlands on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    No one forced you to come and live here, if you aren't happy here then go back, it's as simple as that, if you can't be bothered to learn the language then there's no use in trying to come and live here. If i don't speak English i can forget about trying to live in the states, would you have me there if i just speak Dutch?, i don't think so..

  2. Re:I like it in principal on P2P Hard Disk System Warns of Tsunamis · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmm.. let me see the options here..

    1) Need a dll but know about a tsunami, pretty good i'd say
    2) no dll, hence no working software, no tsunami warning, could work against me..

    the choices, what should i do.. sigh..

  3. Re:Television Programs on London 2006, Meet London 1984 · · Score: 1

  5. Re:Wake up and smell the coffee! on The Future of IT in America? · · Score: 1

    You got to be fucking kidding right?, they might be able read english, but writing or speaking is another cup of tea, the company i work for hired chinese 'programmers' (lets not debate their skills, lets just say lieing on resumes is normal there), their english is horrible, and 99% of the time no one can understand them. But that would just interfere with their social abilities you think?, nah.. what about usage of language in interfaces?, i'm getting tired of whiping up shit outsourced designers left behind.

  6. Re:Sex on Over 1 Million .eu Domains and Counting · · Score: 1

    Say what you will about us Dutch folk, but at least things are out in the open which in return has as a side effect a very low teen pregnancy rate, can you say that about the US and UK? I don't think so, the UK has the highest count within the EU, and the US, ha!, well, look at who heads the country there.. nuff said!

  7. Re:Loss of the crank is good on Negroponte Responds to $100 Laptop Criticisms · · Score: 1

    I think in the old days those were called Amstrads hehe

  8. Re:A lumberjack on More Music File-Sharing Lawsuits in Europe · · Score: 1

    At least it confirms why my bloody mail never arrives, the postal chaps are busy downloading music.. royal mail, gotta love it..

  9. I don't like apple on Why Everyone Loves Apple · · Score: 1

    ..Bring it on! :), I don't like Apple, I don't like Jobs and his cronies.. And no I don't adore microsoft, or linux, i just dislike Apple, plain 'n simple, why?, Apple owners act like elitist snobs, thinking they're better then the rest of the popolous. The products themselves are way to expensive, and I just don't like their CEO.. There that should get the Fanboys knickers in a twist.

  10. Re:$50K for 12 months? on American Idol for Security Geeks · · Score: 1

    You can in India yes.. however in Europe or North America that 50k would run out fast..

  11. What makes people think we own those meteors? on The Financial Future of Space Travel · · Score: 1

    Just because it passes by our planet doesn't mean we own it, on that basis i'd own every frickin' car that passes by my house.

  12. Is this guy a professional moaner? on iTunes, One Billion Suckers Served? · · Score: 1

    I figured i'd do the same, don't read his article (as he hasn't use itunes, or own a ipod) and draw the conclusion that he's a professional moaner.. First digital camera's, now itunes?, c'mon thomas you can't digg or slashdot apple out the equation..

  13. The reasoning is like.. on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    I bought these shoes, when i walk in them for more then 30 miles i get this really tired feeling and aches the next day.. Should i sue dockers because their shoes make me feel tired and achey? I can't believe that people are sueing over really obvious things these days.. sigh..

  14. Re:Rebates = Misleading Price on Best Buy Working Towards Ending Mail-in Rebates · · Score: 1

    They would advertise it for $199.99 after mail in rebate. However that's not really true because what really happens is that you get the $100 back after you pay taxes on $299.99.
    North america should really switch to the system we have here in europe, include tax in the price that's displayed, you pay what you see, no surprises at the till

  18. Strange, digg is down on The Rise of Digg.com · · Score: 1

    Now that's strange, this article shows up on /. and digg goes down. I wonder why..

  19. Re:The most loaded rhetorical question ever? on French Riots Lead to Crackdown on Blogs · · Score: 1

    Look, it's what happens when a culture doesn't insist that immigrants conform. They hate their host country and are using this as an excuse to terrorize, burn, loot, and generally express their disdain and hatred for France.
    Excuse my french, but WTF did they go there to start with then?

  20. He can do whatever he wants with it on Pixar For Sale? · · Score: 1

    If Jobs is the owner he can do whatever he wants to do with that company. Disgruntled employees or not. Face it their employees not owners, it takes an employee to come up with the idea that they have something to say about whats going on in a company, or what a owner should do with it. It's a selfish world out there, and people like Jobs know that, that's why they have more money in their bank accounts then most of us do.

  21. Re:Hundreds of Millions of dollars to fight Malari on Bill Gates Donates $258 Million to Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    That'll buy a hell of a lot of DDT, which is the only thing you need to eradicate malaria.
    And kill half the population, squash two bugs in one go i guess

  22. Re:25 miles south of Rotterdam? on Creators of Massive Botnet Arrested · · Score: 1

    do the maths.. Canada is 9,984,670 Square KM Holland is 41,526 Square KM 9984670 / 41256 = (roughly)24044381883 (etc.) So your right i was wrong.. its more then 144..

  23. Re:25 miles south of Rotterdam? on Creators of Massive Botnet Arrested · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you look at it on the scale of things then for them thats probably true.. Holland fits 144 thousand times into a country the size like Canada (which is a bit bigger then the states), with distances like that their mindset towards them is different. so that distance would probably be close for their standards.. It's one thing to bitch about their lack of geographical knowledge (which we all know is pretty bad when it comes to overseas knowdledge), but you have to see the other side of the coin as well. How much do you know about the states?, your knowledge about that is probably just as bad as theirs is of europe;)

  25. Re:Sad on Court Rules in Favor of Anonymous Blogger · · Score: 1

    Slander is considered an abuse of free speech It's not free speech then is it, free speech is being able to say what you want to say, whenever and where-ever, that includes slander as well, cause it's free speech remember?!, oh yeah forgot, no such thing as free speech in the states, it's just a phrase..
