You can't be serious! What do you think is the appropriate punishment for attempting an armed coup d'état? A pat on the back?
If you knew your German history you'd know that during the Weimar Republic crimes by right extremists were less severely punished than crimes by left extremists and Hitler was no exception. He served his 5 years minimum sentence in relative comfort and was not deported to Austria contrary to what the law called for. The judges thought him honorable, but misguided. We know how that turned out.
If network A is connected to network B and network B has internet access, then for all intents and purposes network A is part of the internet as well. All it takes is to enable forwarding on the bridge and off you go.
Dude, have you no respect for human dignity? I bet her last wish wasn't for her picture to be displayed as part of a "Shit happens to stupid people" story.
Personal property has nothing to do with it. The personality right of the victims dictate that pictures of their dead body are not displayed in public. As far as the ownership of the pictures is concerned, I think the public should own but they should be put in an evidence box and be done with it. The photographer who took him as part of his work should most definitely not own them.
I wouldn't mind though if it were illegal, because I hate almost all advertising. But it's not something I would expend any energy over.
Might have something to do with the fact that most junk mail is hand-delivered here and most delivery people respect the "No Advertising" sticker on the mailbox.
I hope you've learned from your mistake clicking on that opt-out link. There might be other reasons for the increase in spam, but opting out is likely a major one.
That said I often do opt-out of e-mail newsletters of websites that I've had prior business with. But not with every website *cough*classmates.com*cough*
I would also venture that wind farms will produce a whole lot of more jobs over their life times than a single nuclear plant. Better jobs, too, cause you get to get outside and travel from time to time for maintenance.
I spent a senior year at a US high school and learned who to type a letter in Word Perfect on DOS (version 5 I think). That was really, really boring. But, I also learned to touch type which has proven immensely useful later on.
Then I went back to Germany and did my Abitur. I remember learning about AVL trees and finding an implementation in the Linux kernel somewhere. We also learned about B-trees, but I didn't get it at that point.
Looking back, computer science classes in Germany were much more interesting, if not for the countless bomberman sessions in between.
But assuming for a moment that there will be no textbooks, there will be a test and therefore a curriculum which will be in the form of text in a book.
Nothing to worry though, because teachers who now the diff between office suites grow on magic trees./SARCASM
Really? You want to waste the student's time by teaching them the diff between Open Office and Microsoft Office? Perhaps with 5-year-old textbooks? I'll bet your students will be super excited! Not.
Why not teach them the difference between Photoshop and Gimp? That, at least, would have been useful for me, because as an amateur photographer I kinda got sucked into PS and now it's keeping me from switching back to Linux from OS X. Wait, there was no GIMP when I was in school./sarcasm
Yeah, I'm confused, too. 2006/24/EG is pretty clear that the source of a internet message has to be identifiable for at least 6 month.
OTOH, there's a lawsuit pending against the directive in Ireland and the German constitutional court has granted a temporary injunction against it*, so it maybe not all is lost. It's pretty controversial politically.
* Except in cases of serious crimes, which is how they were able to bust a child porn ring recently. Next thing you know the 5 major German ISPs sign a contract to implement a internet blacklist. Great timing!
Then all this careful design and coding was a huge waste of resources in itself. There is already a perfectly working way to installing software updates. Check a URL when the app is launched and notify the user.
There's no need at all to have a FREAKING UPDATER FOR GOOGLE APPS running in the background (as root!) all the time. And I for one don't want it on my system. I don't care if it runs on magic dust, it's cluttering up the output of `ps ax` for no good reason and that's bad enough.
Google has really fucked up with its updater. They installed it behind the user's back, in direct contradiction of Google's own stated guidelines. The Google Earth plugin for the Mac contained the updater, but you wouldn't know it from reading the on-screen installation text.
We believe software should not trick you into installing it. It should be clear to you when you are installing or enabling software on your computer and you should have the ability to say no. An application shouldn't install itself onto your computer secretly or by hiding within another program you're installing or updating. You should be conspicuously notified of the functions of all the applications in a bundle.
But what I really can't understand is that Google had to write its own updater in the first place. What's wrong with Appcasting, which (1) works, (2) doesn't have to run as a daemon all the time and (3) doesn't run as root all the time?
"Simpson claims nearly 50 businesses are without access to their email and data.... CBS 11 News emailed Simpson about the raid, but as of Thursday evening he had yet to respond."
I can hear it now: "I wanted to mail in my term paper by friday, but the FBI seized my ISP's mail server."
A band of indigenous hunters either decimates Hera's family as they represent a thread to game and forage resources, or adopts her after finding her family dead from hunger and disease.
Completely speculative and not supported by anything in the film. The people who are not descended from Hera could have died off hundreds or thousand of years after Hera lived, making her the Mitochondrial Eve.
In fact, it is believed that exactly this happened on earth: Mitochondrial Eve lived approx. 150000 years ago. About 70000 years ago the entire human population got reduced to about 2000 individuals. It was most likely at this point that other lines from 150000 years ago died out.
Of course, "God" could have known about that potential extinction event which is why he brought Hera to Earth in the first place. Make sure that enough humans survive.
If someone would offer a reward to any hacker that can penetrate Swiss bank security and supply the names and account info . . . No, that would be too good.
Not as unlikely as you might think. IIRC, last year a disgruntled employee of a Lichtenstein bank sold a CD with client info to the German BND for a couple million euros. Subsequently, the CEO of Deutsche Post Klaus Zumwinkel got busted for tax evasion.
You're missing the point. You don't pay taxes on dirty money, i.e. a criminal has to somehow make his profits come out clean. So stopping money laundering schemes and investigating tax evasion is not only done as an end in itself (certainly the state needs to be funded), but also as a means to an end: stopping the crime that makes the tax evasion necessary. After all, that's why Al Capone got caught, wasn't it?
So, yes, there's a qualitative difference between tax evasion and copyright infringement.
I have to agree. In DB theory we have learned that you should normalize your data for a good database design. However, materialized views can give HUGE performance gains, by eliminating multistep joins between tables. You can't built customs indexes for queries that have these joins when the index condition is not in adjacent tables and you always have to deal with large intermediate results.
If the app is read-only and performance is critical the best strategy is to used materialized views built from normalized source tables. If the database doesn't have materialized views (PostgreSQL) you can simulate with CREATE TABLE foo AS SELECT * FROM bar WHERE...

I wouldn't because it's legal to send junk mail.

Correcting myself here, but on further reading I've just found out that the Irish lawsuit was denied in February. Bummer!!

What's wrong with MacPorts?
That scenario assumes that the updater can do its thing before the user clicks on a bad file. Highly doubful.
It's also worth mentioning that having the Google Updater run as root all the time opens up another vector for exploits.
