16 May 08 - 10:43Cartoonist arrested
We are now officially fucked. The Netherlands have joined the ranks of Iran, North-Korea, Tibet and other suppressed regions. The first modern age European country to order the arrest of a critic cartoonist.
Congratulations, religions. Freedom of speech is dead. A big 'fuck you' to all war casualties, 11 days after the WWII memorial. Sad.
The news even made it to the forum on the Richard Dawkins web-site.
I know, I know. The guy is not convicted yet. The point is that the arrest in itself clearly shows the decline of freedom in general in a country that was once one of the most liberal in the world. There is a spiral, and it's downwards.
It puzzles me to see how few people realize this and how many downplay the problem so they don't have to see it. Until it is too late.

When you are able to read this, it means that the technicians at KPN have managed to fix a giant problem in the network core of the 'dutch internet'. KPN wants to have it all.
All salute the take-over business. Yes! Bring everything to the corporates. Take away this stuff, from the smaller companies. KPN knows how it works, and they will serve you.
Well, they don't.
You fucking bunch of cheap ass, know it all, could not care less, this can be done for less money, must be done cheaper, are you sure about that, what do you mean 'fall back', is not that too expensive, we know what is good for you, do not worry, we will repay you, goddamn shit for brains leather seat sweaty boardroom assholes everywhere; You do NOT know how it works. You are a menace to people and businesses.
Aaaah, glad to get that off my cheast 
[upd] We're back online after more than 36 hours downtime.
[upd] And we're down again...
[upd] And back up after more then 48 hours
What a shame to see top-quality internet providers like Demon and XS4all go down the drain because of these take-overs. Thank you KPN. Thank you for murdering quality.
