Living in Amsterdam, I'd be more worried about the ring-road around Antwerp and Brussels :-)
500km in Australia probably doesn't even have corners.

Ah - but which one? There are five in The Netherlands!

777 copies of Windows 7 for Seven Houses, Netherlands, says Microsoft seven times fast

It might sound like Microsoft had a hard time dreaming this one up, however, I guess it was quite common at one point to go round counting the number of houses in the village when you decided on a name. I'd feel pretty left out if I lived in one of the others:

One -
Een, Noordenveld Drenthe

Three -
Drie, Ermelo Gelderland

Four -
Vierhuizen De Marne Groningen
Vierhuizen Wûnseradiel Fryslân

Five:
Vijfhuizen Haarlemmermeer Noord-Holland
Vijfhuizen Oosterhout Noord-Brabant

Seven -
Zevenhuizen Bunschoten Utrecht
Zevenhuizen Heeze-Leende Noord-Brabant
Zevenhuizen Leek Groningen
Zevenhuizen Texel Noord-Holland
Zevenhuizen Zevenhuizen-Moerkapelle Zuid-Holland

Eight -
Acht , Eindhoven Noord-Brabant

Ten- literally Ten Commandments...
Tiengeboden, Ubbergen Gelderland

CTL releasing Atom-powered 2go nettop for $149

Since when was 50% "marginal"?

Nokia launches the N79 and N85

Aug 26th 2008 4:22PM on Engadget

Quite right, that's just nonsense. Looks to me like the N79 is the slider version of the N78.

Etch A Sketch clock automatically draws, redraws time

All it misses is a Stylophone bot add-on for playing Big Ben chimes on the hour.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
