So an American in Singapore or South Africa does not have high roaming costs? I'm not sure that's true. They have established maximum prices, not minimum.

Not sure about that, it has not happened after the last few price-limitations that were issued in recent years. If mobile internet is 50-100x more expensive beyond national borders I will simply not use it, it's a lose-lose deal (that

This has huge psychological implications, similar to not carrying a passport while crossing borders and paying with the same coins everywhere: All these measures help to get the feeling that Europe is indeed one place, one community. Weeke

Do you know Sweden? I cannot believe that to be true. We are not talking about Iraq or GB, but a strong European democracy, with no extraordinary ties to the US. Sure, the victims might be lying. But I would trust a Swedish court to decide

Such a system would obviously be a huge privacy problem, as it would provide movement profiles of every car using a highway. So, not the best alternative spending compared to phone surveillance.

Have a look at Wikipedia: "Most possessors of child pornography who are arrested are found to possess images of prepubescent children; possessors of pornographic images of post-pubescent minors are less likely to be prosecuted, even though

The CP topic is not about teenagers, but about children less than 10 years (you might easily find a 18+ photo model that looks like 14 if that's your thing). Last time I checked, sexting was not a big issue around kindergartens...

I feel that BUYING child porn should be illegal, as it incentivises child porn production. No matter if you pay with money or by exchanging other child porn. By that rules, most people who possess child porn act illegally.

You just have to know when to slow down. The recruiter will recognize the pattern, and might fear you will leave at the first best opportunity. I always felt that 3-4 years with each employer is the most promising strategy (European job mar

Are you sure? I have about one accident per year when using my bike a lot in an urban area (20km/d). Only luck prevented me from landing on my head - if I had, I am pretty sure the helm would have been pretty helpful. Plus, a good helm is a

By just looking at it briefly, I found a typo "effiecent" and a double space (I think), "managing contract". Don't start by introducing yourself as a blackhat. Make the experience part way more detailed, as this is your strongest asset. Th

Wow, never thought about that in the Google Car context. To be fair, I dislike driving in heavy rain myself, and most people drive much slower in such conditions. Still, that might be more of an issue in rainy Hamburg compared to the Bay Ar

What's wrong with Myers-Briggs? One shouldn't spend too many thoughts about it, but I find the test results to be quite stable and fitting for me and many peers. Combine that with the idea that diversity is good, and that there is no right

Yeah, but cancer is not infectious. People will always develop cancer, but we could potentially get to a point where nobody has HIV anymore, if we can prevent the virus from spreading.

(Disclaimer: I have no idea about Google's code base) Why don't they opensource Google reader? Sure someone could build a small nice business out of hosting it. It's no loss for them, and gathers lots of goodwill in the nerd community.

I think the most interesting point about this story is the existence of "ghost employees" per se. One has to think of remote Yahoo workers ;). The fraud involved biometrics, but I think it is a non-issue. Of course you can trick every syste
