I kind of dislike people who, while presenting their projects, scream "This is important! Look at how impressive this is!" I kinda felt she was doing that through the whole presentation. Let your work speak for itself.

I know that was a typo, but I think the answer is still relevant... The 'media age' [sic] of the Associated Press is 161 years. And it shows. ;)

Really fantastic work. The best touch was the camera lens actually was set inside the 'Houd uw PIN privé' sticker. P.S. NL Hacker meetup? I'm noticing a few people from/in Holland recently.

Yeah but then most online places are going to require the extended information number, or a street address and other info which isn't on the card's magnetic stripe. I suppose these guys could be setting up their own merchant accounts and fi

Indeed, as an American living in Holland I can say that the "freedom" I have here versus the "freedom" I have in the US are different in structure but equal in implementation. Freedom, of course, is an ideology which we strive towards but c

As ridiculously cool as this technology is, I can't help but think that there are some significantly cheaper, more stealthy, more reliable, smarter alternatives out there which are capable of self-replication and independent fuel discovery.

"but from a greenhouse gas perspective, the savings are small at best" Taking that argument down to an even more micro-level: most of the light in my apartment comes from overhead halogen lights (hot), and sometimes I'm inclined to switch t

So Obama wins in counties that are diverse and/or educated and/or rich and/or urban and/or didn't like bush very much. Shocking! :)

I use google apps for my email, so I own my email address. Stop doubting :)

I wonder how many other Hackers are in NL? I've recently moved here from SF bay area and am looking for good networking opportunities with other techies. Any fun gatherings you know of?

Exch Admins can play with these settings. Adjusting when the queue runs is one option, but you could be unlucky and hit send when there's a small queue that's running in 10 seconds. I think admins can also force a delay, which is a diff

Give up, this is a horrible idea. Emails can be forwarded automatically, notification of new emails can be sent to mobile devices, they can be tagged/labeled/moved/starred, add-ons or third party apps can screen scrape and process that info

Street view is also live in the Netherlands today: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Edam, & Groningen are all I can find (the last two being a bit odd to begin with). Still waiting on "Canal View" :)

I'm a GC beta tester and it's a pretty nice service, especially for free. I don't use it in any serious way because I moved abroad and only have the one US VoIP line. It'd be fantastic (read: I'd pay for it) if they'd forward to internatio

Why not? You don't have to go through these checks when getting on BART, Muni, or Greyhound. I regularly board high speed trains here in Europe with only random security checks (usually dogs roaming the stations). Airplane security for al

The surprising thing is that people read TechCrunch.

I suppose the title of this should be "grad school doesn't make you money". You can make excellent cases for and against this, especially for the IT crowd. As a high school dropout, I certainly had no issues with making money in the tech

May I recommend proxifier for mac. I had a slightly different problem the other day. I'm abroad, and wanted to watch Hulu, but it's blocked from outside the US. SOCKS to the rescue, right? I'll just use a friends box back home. Well, ope

Wow. They even have tons of foreign languages. This would have been extremely useful when I was learning how to pronounce words in Dutch (still might be ;) ).

First off, why are you using Terminal.app? :) I use iTerm mostly because a) tabs! b) I'm a sysadmin and have a ton of bookmarks for ssh connections to various servers (frequent ones with keystroke shortcuts). c) profiles are handy. iTerm

I'm going through this crisis as we speak. I was lured to IT during/after high school, and it seemed ridiculous to go to college at that time. Eventually I was persuaded to take classes after work, and managed to knock out most of the degr

Good timing. Google just (essentially) pulled the plug on Google Video by not allowing new submissions, which is hardly a big surprise. But... Google video does have some pretty nice features that YouTube hadn't yet implemented, one of whi

Ahh, I was actually just in Arnhem a few weeks ago, cute little town. I'm living in A'dam finishing up a Masters (why did I go back to school?!), then I have to decide if I'm going to get involved in another IT project or try and save the w
