Short translation: the Dutch christian democrats want to make women only parking lots. They should be close to the building entrance, extra well lit and be extra large to easily take out kids or groceries.

So the christian democrats in the Netherlands believe that: - women are weak and afraid in the dark - women are the only ones taking the baby to the daycare center - women are the only ones doing grocery shopping - women can't park in small spaces - women have really large butts

They must be so popular with the ladies.

Thanks for the translation and the interpretation.. But what is so special about women only parking lots? They are everywhere (shopping centers, underground stations..) in Germany since many years, right next to the ones reserved for handicapped people.. But I have to admit that walking alone in a dark parking at night is not the most comfortable feeling. And I agree that most women cannot park properly, even in very big spaces. But it's fun to watch them trying, so maybe the brighter light is just some kind of spotlight. And most of the time there is also a surveillance camera very close by.

Maybe with gas prices rising people will actually stop buying wide-assed SUVs and just go for a car that fits the parking spot :-)

I only read half of your sentence at first and really thought you were going to make a pun on the rising food prices and wide asses... Nevermind...

So anyway, how do they check it in Germany? Are the parking spots only for women who are alone (or have some small children)? Or can couples also use them if the woman is driving? If it is with children, what is the maximum age of those children? What about 2 women? I do agree with Kenny however, that this seems to be a step backwards in the emancipation race... Yeah, lets assume all women are weak and fragile and need to be protected from those vile man. Wait I have an even better idea, lets cover them up with clothing so men will not be tempted anymore. Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but the guys in afghanistan do explain it in these words. And concerning the difficulties with parking spaces... just widen all spaces and put a limit and the maximum width of cars (those 4x4's and SUV's have no reason to be in a city anyway). That should help already. Michiel Kenny Billiau wrote:

It mainly disturbes me that they call it woman's place, eventhough anyone with parking or parking place problems could use them. It's back to the pre-war/50's Christian woman at home kind of promotions.

Every woman should be proud that after 50 years of emancipation you get extra illuminated women's parking places, before which they annouce them being for a typical woman: still doing the groceries and still the main caretaker of children. Neat.

And some practical problems.. And how are you going to check if the woman's places are actually being occupied by the right people, and not by the those nice 4x4 city wagons? There are limited number of parking spaces for handi-people, simply because there are very few handi-people around. And if it's actually true that mostly women do the groceries, then most of the parking spaces should widened ;)

In some countries they solve these kind of problems by making women carry their groceries on their heads and their kids on their backs. I'm kind of in favor for that one. Very environment friendly as well.

Actually, I would like to come back to this and propose special, bigger parking lots for cars without servo-stuur. Man, parking without one of those really is a bitch. -Sofie solan@psb.ugent.be wrote:

I guess it might be different once you're used to it, but as a woman I find this rather quite discriminating, and I'm pretty sure I'd never even want to use such parking lots :s

And if you're afraid of getting robbed, why use the one parking lot where the robber is certain there's a weak lil woman parking there? ;-)

Anyways, no fair there's no cake for the sick one!

-Sofie, going to bed again soon (which is less fun than it sounds actually, waking up every hour thinking you're choking)

I don't know, if they check it at all. They could check it using the camera. But which man would use a women parking lot anyway? It would be even worse than asking for direction. And they are meant for women or women with small children.

Off course I could, but than I can't give the receiver to you anymore, so you'll have wireless stripping but still have to get up to change the volume :) Sofie Van Landeghem wrote:

maybe seppe can solder together a cirquitboard into which you can input your sequence and it would output your stripped one!

Hoi Binaries,

I found the method to strip: Copy into excel or calc and choose for 'fixed with' instead of the standard tab delimiting! You even don't have to count the number of characters to strip as you can do it visual. Then copy back the right column.

Hoi Binaries,

Does anyone know a nice method to strip the first n characters away from every line in a file?
