Don’t believe the hype
PSP advertisement Usually I have not that much sympathy for big companies that try to impose restrictions onto their customers/consumers. Especially not when they try to do so by using methods that are completely unethical. Like for example Sony who used a rootkit to impose copy protection in their CD’s. But what I do not like is the kind of “company-bashing” that is now been done by a blogger from Engadget. Some editor called Ryan Block (no doubt he must be a single white caucasian asshole American nerd guy) is trying to make the international readers believe that “Sony is […]
Trouble part III
It looks like we are close to yet another government led by our own ‘Harry Potter look-a-like’ Jan Peter Balkenende. When does he take a hint and get the hell out of politics? This will be Balkenende III and it’s not a good thing; he didn’t succeed in accomplishing what he said he was going to accomplish the previous two times, so why try a third time? Well, the idea behind it is simple: the two parties that will form the interim-government, CDA and VVD, think that if the stay in power the next few months it will possibly get […]
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
Great, yet another country is giving in to those assholes from the MPAA and RIAA: Spain has now adopted some new laws that outlaw P2P sharing and even makes Internet providers potential criminals by saying they can be held responsible as well: there is also to be a tax on all forms of blank media, including flash memory drives. Great. I guess the they never heard of legal filesharing (like the distribution of ISO images for Linux distro’s). As Monty Python said: “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition”. Btw: we have such a tax in Holland as well, but it is […]
US supreme court : Guantanamo tribunal illegal
Finally the US supreme court wakes up and stands up against Bush: the US Supreme Court has ruled that the Bush administration does not have the authority to try terrorism suspects by military tribunal. The bad news is that the ruling does not address detention of terror suspects in general. Currently about 460 inmates, mostly without charge, whom the US suspects of links to al-Qaeda or the Taleban are held at Guantanamo Bay. The ruling is seen as a major blow to President George W Bush. Bush said on Wednesday he was “considering shutting the facility”, and would decide after […]
Way to go morons
Dumb and Dumber There we have it: our Dutch government is resigning after losing the support of one of its coalition partners, D’66. D’66 pulled its support because Verdonk, known as “Iron Rita” for her tough stance on immigration issues, refused to resign over her treatment of Hirsi Ali. The announcement came after two days of debate in our parliament, where Verdonk did a complete U-turn on her stance on Hirsi Ali. Last night the debate lasted from 9pm in the evening till 5:30am this morning. Personally I’m glad it happened: this government had become a complete farce after all […]
The right stuff / pwnd!
pwnd! He might be in his seventies by now, but ex-astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man in history to walk the moon, still has the right stuff! He proved so by punching looser ‘wannabee conspiracy theory’ Bart Sibrel smack in the middle of his ugly face when he was calling Aldrin a “a coward, a liar and a thief”. According to Sibrel, Aldrin never was on the moon. According to Aldrin, he was lured to a Beverly Hills hotel under the pretext of an interview on space for a Japanese children’s television show. When he arrived, Aldrin claims Sibrel was […]
