What is the morality of thinking anyone is allowed to fully control my machine? I guess I'm showing my age, but browsers were _user_ agents, once.

I know that among Dutch writers, it is a public secret that one does not have an English translation because the US (and rest of Anglosphere) is an interesting market, but it's a requirement for getting on the NYT bestseller list. This

I am sorry, US bills (this 10k bill included) are the opposite of cool. Dutch pre-euro bills (Antilles included) are where it's at.

I am by no means a Windows fan (Linux only sinds 2003) but Windows Phone/mobile was (and is, I have one still) awesome. Snappy, no frills, yet feature complete. Pretty interoperable. Pretty. Pity it's over.

Southern Limburg (and before you reveal you are a Hollander, no, thats not just Maastricht) is terrible, but the locals don't see it because they think bikes are a sport and tourists are, well, tourists. Things are not very different i

Which is much better than approaching it as a gladiator, which is what I conclude is the only option that remains trying to cross French intersections (aka traffic arenas).

It's the first time I meet someone that seems to think immunity is binary, not what it AFAIK is: a fraction, usually quite near 100% but never it.

If you end up with the same saving rate, couldn't just just unsplit that too?

I used to toss coins in the bin. Time spent accounting for then (Where are they now and how much is it, how much more do i need?) cost more time then their value. Now I live somewhere where some merchants only accept cash, so I save them ag

I'm not sure what you mean when you say: the vaccines did not prevent transmission. Getting a shot makes it less likely for the virus to reproduce in your body, so any aerosoles you emit will have fewer or no virus content, which is pr

If by people handling Aids in Africa you mean various church groups preaching abstinence (by number the largest group active on the subject), then yes, they indeed require immensely more oversight. Please stop picking out the factoids from
