I work for a global company and wouldn't have the luxury of refusing if I was ever sent to the USA.
However, every time central processing of sensitive data is discussed the first thing everyone always wants to know is "Is this data going to enter the USA at any time?"
It's not that we have anything to hide, it's just that the USA has such a bad reputation here in Europe...
I see variations on this in several countries. It's nothing isolationist. It's nobody trusts any evidence where the Americans have had a hand in. People, even politicians, remember the weapons of mass destruction. The prism scandal is just enough to tip the balance.
?What makes us different from other countries is not simply our ability to secure our nation,? Obama said. ?It?s the way we do it, with open debate and democratic process.?
The reputation of the USA among intelligent people in the rest of the world is different. The country is viewed with amusement but certainly not as a democracy which encourages open debate.
So.... A recommendation, which people can ignore, of having one meatless day is being lobbied away? Despite that fact that it would be a simple way to do something to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
If geenstijl had waited until the magazine was out this would never have made it to court. Geenstijl is a website with about the intelligence level of fox news. It specialises in bad taste pieces and constantly seeks to insult, taunt and annoy people. I expect they placed the files in various cyberlockers,
Thanks to geenstijl's idiotic actions we now have yet another bad judgement in a copyright case.
But there's plenty of artists out there that have lost my support, interest and custom. Tweeting is one way to do that, pumping out mediocre crud products is an even better one.
Mind you, there's companies who's products I start buying because they think cruelty to animals makes a fine TV commercial
The current crisis was partly caused by influences out of Europe but also by banks here. Some banks have had presidents who've made messes big enough to warrant an action like this.
I kinda like this, hope this will be followed elsewhere. There's a lot of "burn him" sentiment all over, can't say I really blame people.
Just try to watch any country music video from Europe. Legally that's pretty near impossible because CMT/MTV doesn't think you should and they constantly police youtube.
Over here a provider tried to block certain traffic streams like ping. Public outrage ensued and the block was quickly lifted.
Next thing you noticed is that the prices for mobile data were increasing. These days 1 gig for 10 euros is considered a pretty good deal. Also people are finding that on existing contracts unlimited traffic is not unlimited anymore. Speeds are squeezed way down after the limit of 1Gb is reached in a month.
All this contrasts quite nicely with an application landscape that pushes always online at every opportunity.
there's plenty of other weird petitions out there

Re: I thought
In a country that has several hunderd political prisoners in the Guatanamo Gulag without trial? I admire your optimism.
Just wondering... when he is convicted, can he still get a book deal?
it has a long term strategy
The industry has been suing people left and right for more than a decade. For any kind of industry that is already a long term strategy.
So.... A recommendation, which people can ignore, of having one meatless day is being lobbied away? Despite that fact that it would be a simple way to do something to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Well, that's insulting!
"Anything goes for the Dutch"
I can show you government statistics that the Italians, French and Spanish use more pot and just about any other country uses more meth than we do.
Bit of a one sided piece

cornish pasty
"Each cupcake is a self-contained meal"
So.. a bit like a cupcake version of the cornish pasty then?
Ah, was wondering if you guys would pick up my story submission. Nice to see that you did.
Despising is a bit strong
But there's plenty of artists out there that have lost my support, interest and custom. Tweeting is one way to do that, pumping out mediocre crud products is an even better one.

they got a point

Outsourced to Elbonia?
Perhaps the studios have outsourced the DMCA operation to Elbonia?
obligatory for teens
A can of red bull. Of course with a shot of vodka in it after 5 o clock. Aren't there any dangers there?
funny 'mericans
Friend send me a link to some "cookery" videos some time back. Basically just seeing how much bacon you can layer around things like turkeys.
This.. well.. it seems to be mainly a North-American addiction. Fat + Calories + large portion = good food to a lot of them.
Netherlands?
I'd be really curious to see any kind of cases like this in the Netherlands
hardly surprising
Just try to watch any country music video from Europe. Legally that's pretty near impossible because CMT/MTV doesn't think you should and they constantly police youtube.
not exactly new

Well, that confirms a stereotype.
Americans are school trained not to have any real sense of taste.
The cookie dough story.. who would be so silly as to buy pre-made cookie dough in the first place?
