This is mostly an attempt to reign in possible new forces on the right. Wilders' success in the Netherlands has prompted the creation of an analogous anti-muslim party in Germany (curiously including the former speaker of the local pirate p

I like the idea. pic5 has red eyes, I'd change that - it's a bit too close to the text about the artist with great attention to detail.

Yes, although the rules change frequently. For me it was an interest free loan of which I had to pay back only 50%.

It's an interesting topic, and quite complex. In my line of work (high level tech support), measuring productivity is relatively straightforward, and the European team with its 30 days of holidays and no overtime at all beats the US team in

It's excellent, and I'm going to use it from now on. I was hoping somebody turning up saying "we've solved this" :)

Sure. I've yet to find a site that allows me to say, I'm in Amsterdam and want to fly somewhere for 7 days in October for less than 500 Euro, show me some options and a facet navigation to drill down further. It's my most frequent use case,

From a modern point of view, SAP's architecture feels pretty alien. In a way you're right, and it's a massive amount of forms on top of a database, plus staggering amounts of business logic. But as it was born before the web, it does not re

pg's automatic defense of Calacanis makes him look bad in my eyes.

He blows stuff out of proportion, and writes trollish articles that are popular on link hubs due to their provocativeness. I see a headline predicting doom for any non-British country and a telegraph URL and I know it's him again. His main

So you define millennium as "years passed since year 1", and think that those who count "years passed since year -1" are wrong? Interesting.

Same here, I'd say we have a reasonable non-Dutch speaking minority. Amsterdam.

CFO of ZipRealty, says google. In the late ninties there must have been dozens of articles about the crazyness of Amazon, how each book they sell makes them lose more money, and so on.

This is not about IMDB, but about studiobriefing.net, which is syndicated on IMDB.

If you reimplement Windows in Unix, it's unlikely to be more elegant. The question is if that would be a good idea.

The store where I shop here in the Netherlands works like that - no interactions with humans required for the whole process, which I appreciate. I believe there's some sort of sanity check heuristic at the checkout - I once did forget to sc

5-10 times compared to what? A flat file DB with no index performing joins as nested loops? I like DB2 express, but this is not an informative article.

In Germany it seems common to mail lists of transaction authentication numbers to customers, and in the Netherlands smart card readers that read your card and generate a TAN seem standard. There are companies built around circumventing this

I like it, too. The "early 1900s Dane" not mentioned by name is Erlang, btw.

Careful with the quick judgments. Credit cards are not popular in many parts of Europe, so it's no big deal. I don't have one, for example, despite being in the top 10% income bracket in my country.

Me too, except with Linux on one and Windows on the other. synergy works fine, although the fact that the last release seems to be from 2006 worries me a bit.

This article paints a completely wrong picture of the European startup scene. He's doing the equivalent of comparing European startups to US defense contractors. Now, what really annoys me about European entrepreneurs is the tendency to jus

The article does not mention this fact because it's not true: http://www.indexmundi.com/g/g.aspx?c=nl&v=27 . The net migration rate merely stopped growing.

Blender as an example for 3d modeling application anyone can use and master? I suspect the author and you have seriously different understandings of usability, to put it mildly.

Me too. I installed SAP the other day - it doesn't even install if you don't have 20 GB free disk space, and it creates something in the order of several ten thousand tables. There ought to be job titles like "Corporate Simplificator".

An expert team of 70 Webdesigners can get this done in no time. Edit: this is actually an interesting demonstration of what happens if the sales people are disconnected from engineering. I've yet to see a big company that doesn't do the equ
