eBay Urges Rethink On EU Plan's "Brick and Mortar" Vendor Requirement 139

mernil writes with this snippet from Reuters: "According to a draft regulation drawn up by the European Commission and seen by Reuters, suppliers may be allowed to require that distributors have a 'brick-and-mortar' shop before they can sell online. The proposed rules would replace existing guidelines exempting companies from strict EU competition rules under certain circumstances. Those rules expire at the end of May."

Comment Congrats Rob and Slashdot (Score 1) 443

I want to thank Rob for keeping this site going for so long. I have been here from the first couple of months. I first visited slashdot in the fall of 2007, it really has been 12 years. Slashdot was great because they were inclusive, most people were very intelligent and the discussions were great. The other reality is that it was the place to hang out if you liked linux.
Anyway, I don't frequent as often as I used to, but I love slashdot and still hope to meet Rob in person some day.

Comment Real Experimentation (Score 1) 314

Science is asking a question and figuring out a solution. The best science projects are simple and provide answers to a good question.

Example.
Does Kellogs raisin bran really have more raisins than the store brand?
Very easy to test

How much caffeine is in different drinks

Are people more likely to click on one type of website or another.

I know this is basically marketing research, but that is what REAL science is.

It is asking a question and then finding a way to answer it.
