Look sunshine, I live in the Netherlands in a town where my cable supplier hasn't even bothered making HBO available to me. So the only way for me to get the series is by pirating it.

When American population just sits at home watching TV or playing video games, Europeans and especially Dutch tend to spend time together. Sit at cafes getting high, eat at a restaurant and have some fine wine, and socialize with people. The same is true for Asians and Australians too. And the American people introvert culture isn't a new thing that came with computers - they did this before geeks too. Sitting in front of TV watching mindless shows and eating TV dinners, alone
Sounds beautiful, no really. But I live in the Netherlands and you have no idea how wrong you are. For the past 30 years (at least), the Netherlands has been "individualizing" at an alarming rate.

Too bad our (as in: the Dutch) judges don't take a hint. Yesterday a judge ruled that a bunch of additional Dutch telcos needed to block access to The Pirate Bay. A few months back that very same judge already ruled that two telcos (XS4ALL and Ziggo) needed to block access to TPB. Not that it matters, research by an independent company has indicated that usage of TPB by XS4ALL and Ziggo customers hasn't decreased the slightest bit.

Sure there is, but that's not what NASA is for. Besides, finding a new species of animal on Earth is not quite as much a revelation to humanity as finding life on another planet is.

As long as Chrome doesn't allow me to disable local cache like I can in FireFox, it's useless to me. I hate having to do 5 clicks to clear the cache every time I've made some changes to a stylesheet or JavaScript file.
