Germany Demands Google Forfeit Citizens' Wi-Fi Data

Surrender the data? Let me Google this.

I have no idea what the Avengers are but you had me at Summer Glau ;)

I don't have the faintest idea who Summer Glau is but The Avengers had Emma Peel (interpreted by Diana Riggs) and nothing more needs to be said.

While you have valid points, in my mind the OP is for the most part correct. I tried visiting the following sites to get an impression of each:

http://news.google.com/
http://news.google.fr/
http://news.google.de/
http://news.google.es/
http://news.google.nl/
http://news.google.it/
http://news.google.es/

The biggest difference I see is that the German site has way more capitals. That aside, everything else looks on the surface (ie: when not actually trying to read anything) to follow the same general pattern. From a linguistics perspective, I don't doubt you're correct and many alterations have been introduced into each language as it diverged from a common root... but to an untrained eye scanning over the text of the sites above I'm not seeing a lot of variance.

There are countries in which there are no software patents. But the copyright law still applies.

But you need network to do that. I was in bombfuck cevennes last year in a workshop. We barely had a landline so let's forget about mobile phones or internet connexion.

Even if you have network, if it is not a high bandwidth, low latency link, you are screwed for most tasks. I am in Ohio,USA right now connecting to a university gateway in France. The latency is too high to type text. I am going to have constraint through the network. With a classical netbook I won't have those issues.

Why try to build usable tools over web applications when we already have a perfect solution in netbooks?

None of those states allow fullblood first cousin marriages that would produce off-spring.

I know first cousins who have married and have had kids. I know they did some genetic counseling and/or testing beforehand, but I do not know that if that was a requirement of the state that they were married in.

In any case, if you do not like the citation I gave you, a google search: http://www.google.fr/search?q=restriction+on+marriage+cousins turns up a bunch of others, none of which support your position that no state allows first cousins to marry - most of them seem to say that 19 states allow first cousin marriages without restriction:

The research and training facillity of the CEA in Saclay. The INSTN ( nuclear engineering school ) is just 400m under. I'm not sure about the number of reactor near the MIT but it's probably less.

P.S. the Sorbonne is a literature university, they don't taught engineering. French university system != US univeristy system

What planet do you live on?

Probably that one.

Or any of these.

Country code TLDs are useful for referencing sites which only apply to a specific country like government websites or businesses which only do business in one country. On the other hand, the use of TLDs for language selection like Google.fr, etc. is a hack: HTTP already supports language selection with the Accept-Language header. Wikipedia links to a blog post discussing real world use of the header.

Once you get the basic Java syntax (which will not take long looking at the langages you already know), read this book: Effective Java , by Joshua Bloch.
There is also a video on YouTube: Effective Java Programming with Joshua Bloch.
And you can read it on Google Books.

I woud use the same solutions that have been selected and approved by national libraries.

The "Century-Disc" is the support media used for long time archiving at the BNF (french national library).

Apparently it's a glass CD/DVD media developped by the frenh company "Plasmon".
It is said to have the following resistance ability :

• Strength : Abrasion - Vibrations - Friction - Toe angle - Jam - Tear
• Chemical resistance : Oxidation-Moulds - Sueur - Water - Salt - SO2 - N02
• Physical Strength : Light - UV - Infra-red - ray radiation - Empty - Cold (-150 Â) Hot (+350 Â) - Thermal shock
• Functionnal feature : it cannot be modified (neither erased or nor rewritten)

Definitely a choice to consider !

I think most people in France agree on that, and there are laws that already enable cops to crack down on kiddie porn networks.

So why these new measures ? Well, four words : control of the media.

President Sarkozy already has a record of trying to influence mainstream medias, either by having his closest friends acquire newspapers or TV networks, or harassing news directors on the phone. Most blogs are still out of reach for him though, and this is where the most vocal opponents thrive.

The whole proposed policy (Google translation here) is outrageous; but the most despicable point in my view is that the ISPs and the web hosts should agree to "delete any content that has not been updated in the last 3 months", which would remove a lot of valuable (and politically embarrassing) information from the web -- event if only blogs are targeted at this point.

It's definitely a nifty little RC vehicle, but why not make it more remote and control it with a live video feed? Coupled with gyroscopic input from a video headset, ala here, this thing could be controlled from the dude's bar. I mean, when you watch the CNN video, it does seem a bit dorky to have this guy walking 10 feet behind the robot. I'm sure the good people over at RC Groups would be happy to help him out.

Plus, you know, if the thing really pisses off a dealer, it'd be nice to be a good distance away.

Here is a bunch of links about Computer Ethics from when I was researching about it. The google video link (last one on this list) is particularly interesting. Computer ethics is actually a university research topic! http://www.brook.edu/its/cei/cei_hp.htm http://ethics.csc.ncsu.edu/ http://www.southernct.edu/organizations/rccs/resources/teaching/teaching_mono/moor/moor_definition.html http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-computer/ http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/ProfessionalEthics.html http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/hackers.html http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=4279094 http://cyberethics.cbi.msstate.edu/ http://www.oekonux.org/texts/copykillsmusic.html http://www.progilibre.com/Open-Source-Alternative-ou-fausse-route-_a350.html http://www.osalt.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOSS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License http://creativecommons.org/ http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html http://www.itc.virginia.edu/policy/ethics.html http://www.brook.edu/its/cei/overview/Ten_Commanments_of_Computer_Ethics.htm http://www.acm.org/serving/se/code.htm http://www.ieee.org/portal/site http://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=-3088012854941915784&q=computer+ethics

Well...

I said "statistics" because neither could I find any RIAA-led study - but for a starter look at their attitude and "reasoning", you need only go here. Google does the rest. Cheers.

Googling "9/11/2001" gets 790,000 hits. Would you guess that even in 1997, it was > 0 ?

Thanks for the link.

I was seeking who were "Parallel Processing Corp." (IP corp or are they actually producing something ?) but having such a generic name doesn't help,
and searching for
"parallel processing corp" / "parallel processing corporation" only gives links related to this lawsuit.

I found the filing, and a short but interesting explanation here

Also when searching for "parallel processing" "newport beach", I found the related announcement of Acacia Technologies.

There also seems to be quite a few events about parallel processing in Newport Beach, like the Seventh International Parallel Processing Symposium (April 13-16, 1993)

So has someone a clue about that "Parallel Processor Corp." ?

> When government "borrows" money that capital does not just magically appear,

well, while this is what you would expect,
it is not the case.
in reality, money IS created out of thin air.
check for example : this documentary

I can connect to Google France, Google Japan, Google Germany and so forth. I used to be able to connect to Google China - you can even see it in google.com's search for Google China and the cache for it. But nowadays, it just redirects to Google.com. They don't want Westerners able to see what people can and can't search for in China. So what else is new, the corporate stooges are saying BS to the press, while in the back they are continuing to do what they do and are attempting to hide what they are doing.

google.com search for "Jew"

google.fr search for "Jew"

Notice in the latter:
In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org. How's that for a (supposedly) Free, Capitalist and Everything country? The similar result would happen on google.de, etc.

Check out this thread and you will see what a major scumbag this spammer is.

The large square panels are presumably slides from his live presentation. They aren't supposed to stand alone, in fact I suspect that the whole presentation would make (as much) sense without any of them.

Personally, I find Wall's prose simply wonderful: I've been known to read entire chapters of the Camel book just for the asides. I think that to judge this presentation you have to imagine the equivalent speech about "the future of typing in C++" or "the evolution of the object model in java" and ask yourself if anyone would be awake by the end of page one. Wall is one of the few people I've come across who stands far enough back to get beyond "Side Effects Good/Bad", "Parentheses Good/Bad", "Strict Typing Good/Bad" and so on.

And at least the man does seem to have a nodding acquaintance with other languages. Try Learning Java for the other approach, where the opening chapters compare Java with other languages, and point to several weaknesses or omissions in perl. Unfortunately, perl does all the things the author thinks it doesn't, and it did some of them before Java had crawled out of the C.

That's where Google Magic comes into play (just use the Google Cached pages).

When NASA reciently released a information brochure on chemtrials http://en.xiando.org/Chemtrails , Ellyn at http://www.chemtrailcentral.com/ described it as "This proposed teaching lesson to the children of the world from NASA, found on Acrobat Reader, is NASA's attempt to promote the BIG LIE that chemtrails are nothing more than contrails, resulting from increasing air traffic.".

I strongly encourage everyone to view the excellent documentary Chemtrails - Clouds of Death downloadable from http://torrentchannel.com/The_Freeman_Perspective_ -_Chemtrails and also, please do your own reserach and thinking. Search http://www.google.fr/search?hl=en&q=chemtrails and read about this important subject and then compare what you find with the NASA disinformation http://en.xiando.org/Chemtrails#NASA

You will, if you do your own research and thinking, find that NASA deliberately makes and spreads disinformation and lies to cover up and keep information of great importance from the public. I'm not saying they do not tell some of the truth some of the time, but please be aware that you can trust them about as far as you are able to throw a car.

They could start by warning people from Germany, France and Switzerland that they censor their results:

I've been comparing some of the differences between the chinese version and the US one.

Take a look at the Google US search for "Tiawanese Independence. Note that the first result is the Tiawanese Independence Party, and #2 describes how Bush Opposes it.

Now, let's take a look at the french site, to see if the results are similar - "Taiwanese Independence". Very similar results.

Let's try this on .cn: "Taiwanese Independence". Note that the Independence Party is completly gone from the results. Guess they are subversive.

Far more insidious than actually banning certain searches is manipulating the results themselves to tout the party line. Leave a few fringe sites up, so you don't appear to completly control things, but remove any site you consider to truly be a threat. After all, they are doubleplus ungood.

Which explains why:
GIS in AU
GIS in CA
GIS in FR
GIS in UK
GIS in RU
GIS in PL
GIS in IT
GIS in ES
GIS in JP

Are all so different, right?
That's not "cultural differences", mate. That's censorship.

So google are letting us know when they are censoring results?

Shouldn't the chinese google results look the same as the others, but letting you know which links are censored?

Neat, huh?

Keep in mind, unless you specify google to focus on your language, the search results should be _exactly_ the same across local sites. Except if they tamper with the results, which both Google and Yahoo do for Germany and France.

Sadly, you can't test the Chinese version from outside China. cyberlaw sometimes has a proxy running in China that will allow you to test it, but its currently down. A google filters those results based upon whether your IP block is Chinese or not.

Here's someone's test. You don't have to believe it, I guess:

While Fabrice is a respectable person, he did not invent this formula. One of the most responsible persons for this discover is called Plouffe. The complete formula name is the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe and the most interesting way is how they did "discover" it : Mathematica did with input from them and it was a surprise for them when it spitted out the formula.

Actually, there is an european directive that requires EU members to have a publicly available map of the noise by 2007.

In Paris, there are working on a 3D map that will show all the buildings colored by noise pollution. I saw a demo in a TV show and the resolution is impressive as the buildings in the demo had the surface painted in several shades of colors, i.e. some part of the building were more exposed to noise pollution than others.

I don't know if the demo is accessible from the web, but news.google.fr have several news articles about that (in French).

News for the amnesiac. Stuff that mattered.

That slogan seems a dupe to me.

And each time submitted by the same editor, dark-br. ;-)

Dang. This one works.
