  1. Surprised they have the time... on Sex Drugs and Texting · · Score: 1

    With 120 text messages and 3 hours of Facebook a day, where do they find the time to have sex?

  2. Re:What about the presumption of innocence? on Arizona "Papers, Please" Law May Hit Tech Workers · · Score: 1

    The difference being that in the Netherlands, we all have to carry ID, immigrant or not. I don't really understand what the big deal is, I always have my ID card in my wallet. I've never been asked for ID anyway, not even at bars, unlike in the US. It's like you trust bartenders more than police officers. If that's the case, you have bigger problems than this new law.

  3. Perhaps the pope would prefer... on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 1

    ...transparency in altar boy garments instead.

  4. Re:A false choice, of course... on Health Care Reform · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can have private health insurance companies and still have insurance for everyone. By regulating things a bit more, and using a risk pool. This is how it's done here in the Netherlands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_The_Netherlands

  5. Re:A personal airconditioner? on Body Heat Energy Generation · · Score: 2, Funny

    Time to invade Siberia!

  6. To avoid confusion... on 802.11n Should Be Finalized By September · · Score: 1

    The final version of the spec will be called "802.11n Forever"

  7. Re:Does that make for a slimmer ps3? on Cell Hits 45nm, PS3 Price Drop Likely to Follow · · Score: 1, Informative

    No, that's just a mock-up made by some creative people at T3: http://www.t3.com/news/sony-playstation3-slim-and-lite?=35165/

  8. Re:Screw the interface... on Google Begins "Gmail 2.0" Rollout · · Score: 1, Funny

    I get lots of offers for that through my GMail account...

  9. Re:So... on Google Earth Gets Star-Gazing Add On · · Score: 0

    Forget money, Google will take over the world while everyone's looking up at the sky.

  10. Re:How long on Microsoft Opens Up Windows Live ID · · Score: 0

    All banks in the Netherlands (as far as I know) use some form of strong user authentication for doing online banking. My bank currently uses Vasco's Digipass 810.

    After coming to the US, I was surprised (and a little worried) to find out, upon opening an account at Wells Fargo, that all I need to log in is a plain old username/password combination. Are there no banks in the US that use some kind of more advanced authentication system?

  11. Meanwhile, on the Linux *developer* forecast... on The Linux Weather Forecast · · Score: 1, Funny

    Mountain Dew in the morning, damp throughout the day, and 0% chance of showers.

  12. Re:It's HOLLAND on The Dutch Kill Analog TV Nationwide · · Score: 0

    I thought that "The Netherlands" (pl) were more than just Holland. Guess I was wrong? No, you were right, actually.
  13. Re:Grammar Nazi... on Walmart Tries to Emulate MySpace · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What does a Monty Python quote have to do with a tryst?

  14. Re:Let me get this straight... on Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon · · Score: 1

    I'm not "confuddled", I just hate this British "too cool for Europe" attitude with the passion of a thousand suns. Feel free to explain to me why it makes sense for Britain to not consider itself part of Europe.

  15. Let me get this straight... on Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon · · Score: 1

    Microsoft will introduce a search engine better than Google in six months in the United States and Britain followed by Europe...

    Okay, so first Britain, then Europe. Okay, got it.
