Then again, it could be not. Interesting. I think I have had my number of conspiracy theories for today.

Or a bloody foreigner. Not everybody behaves like an American. In lots of places wasting your tires is just plain stupid.

This is news for nerds. What else would he talk about?

Next up: package delivered by drone will sound a siren if not opened immediately.

Personally, I would like to go back to the good old days when we used owls for that.

On the contrary, now he has to write another story to keep secret!

500% longer supported. When I bought my last Nokia N900, it refused to update because Nokia shut down the pre-configured servers. Thank goodness for a decent community.

Or a Nokia.

Not that I am aware of. A friend of mine experienced it in an Asian country, but I forgot which one.

You are right to say compostable. Merely biodegradable usually means that there are a lot of harmful chemicals after the degrading process.

In some countries, vendors "mark" clients with the bags. If you are a tough negotiator for the lowest price, you get a different colour plastic bag than if you are a western tourist who pays the first sum asked.

Actually, a monarchy can be a good thing if the monarch is not a dictator. For example, in the Netherlands, the king has little power but is "the face" of the country. This separation of power and representation is wonderful. Electing a king by birth is a bit preposterous, but it prevents the first power-hungry megalomaniac to be our first man. I know a monarchy is ancient and not of this age, but the mere thought of an alternative like Kohl, Bush or Mitterant makes me glad that we have one.

Awful. The prime minister even refuses to say anything bad about the unlawful interceptions, because "it could harm our interests as well". Clearly "our interests" do not include the interests of the citizens. And our domestic affairs minister wants to give the police unwarranted tapping powers with the possibility to install spyware, only controlled by their own organisation.

Most of the contributions are not financial in an open-source project. So if you focus on money only, you can only get irrelevant results.

To my knowledge drinkable coffee is actually forbidden in the united states. Something to do with temperature and the danger of spilling it.
