We hope to be able to live translate everything next year, so if you appreciate the translations, please let us know! My e-mail is on my homepage @ http://moeffju.net/ or just tweet with #28c3en hashtag.
We actually live-translated that and the translated talk is also available as 28c3-4936-en-fnord_jahresrueckblick_h264.mp4, so you don't have to know German to enjoy it:)
The petition has closed with 134.014 signatures. These will now be validated and dupes, obvious fakes etc. will be sorted out, but nevertheless, the petition was overwhelmingly successful - the most successful online petition in Germany so far, in fact!
However, it is fairly certain that the law will be passed anyway, despite it being unconstitutional. The fight will go on...
Also, the petition system's servers suck, and the system is badly implemented. They barely sustained random link traffic, Slashdot will probably reduce it to a smouldering pile of ash. But, post away!
We had this in south west Germany for a few years now. There's no "convenience fee", instead we get even better rates (since we pay per second, not by whatever-the-smallest-coin-is). It is quite nice indeed.
There are two *very* strong magnets right next to my hard disk's platters. The hard disk is pretty unimpressed. Chances are that you don't have any magnets available that would destroy your hard disk.
GIMP 2.3 starts in ~2 seconds (on win32 even). I think that's quite acceptable. Give 2.3 a try if you haven't yet, 2.3.5 has been running stable for me for weeks now.
I also think that plugins and fonts data is already cache - that's why the first startup of a new version always takes a lot longer, since every plugin is re-registered. After that, only new or updated plugins get checked on load, the rest comes from cache.
Harmful bacteria are not somehow more inert or slower than others. If there are harmful bacteria, it doesn't matter how long the food was sitting on the floor. The 5 seconds rule as such is just silly. With current standards of hygiene, though, food should almost always be safe to eat after it was on the floor.
Does not apply to toilets or similar. Use common sense.
We recently switched to some transponder system for the doors at work. I was skeptical at first, but it's really far easier to just push some button (without even getting the token out of your pocket) and being able to open any door. Doors can all be always locked or unlocked from the inside without a transponder. Since the tokens are passive, only the scanners require power, and they have batteries that are supposed to last 3 years minimum. The scanners are also 'dumb', they are not networked and don't keep logs, so privacy is respected, too.
Now add to the convenience the fact that it's far easier to replace a lost/stolen key, control access, etc., and that it's far more secure than 'normal' keys (I can open almost any 'security' lock within less than five minutes, and there are far better people than me, google for 'Lockpicking')... we have a winner.
As much as I usually dislike RFID, this sounds like a really good idea.
Then why exactly would one buy a $350 (or something) iPod 80GB instead of a $130 external 300gig harddisk with Firewire? You could even get the $130 hard disk AND the what, $200, iPod Nano, and get more capacity to carry files, still enough for your music, AND save money.
There are several programs doing the TREC (Text REtrieval Conference) Question Answering track that give you an accuracy of 80% upwards, and that's for hard questions like historical data on a huge corpus.

Germans: There will be demonstrations etc., keep an eye around. It's not over yet.
By law, everybody(!) can sign, regardless of age, nationality, place of residence, etc.
There's a step-by-step guide plus video (in English) on how to sign the petition if you don't understand German: http://www.piratenpartei-bayern.de/Signing_the_e-petition_for_Non-Germans - also some more info is on the digg article: http://digg.com/political_opinion/Official_Petition_against_German_Internet_censorship

And Buddycloud, except they don't think map views make sense.
Except that SECAM was developed before PAL... even Wikipedia gets this one right.
I should probably point out that most newer versions of links do support JavaScript.

Use a sledge hammer.

Just one more turn!
Does that mean I can get free drugs^Wgames from the state if I admit I'm addicted?

May have used hands-free. ...
For the phone.
To whoever moderated that Troll, please post evidence that Chiropractics are anything but quacks.
Friends don't let friends go to chiropractors.
Because chiropractors are Bullshit!
What's even more important, it uses x86 processors. That's why they're having such a hard time hacking the DRebel XT (350D) or 20D - no more x86.
Google for 'lockpicking' and find how secure your locks really are. Germans might also want to check the http://www.ssdev.org/.

What gives?
Either:Or:
Seeing that Firefox uses Mork for storing history and some other items, I can see why it's hard for law enforcement to make sense of that.
After all, it's hard even for the Mozilla people.
The reaction in Brazil was to just put a gun to the driver's head.
The OpenBook extension does this.
(I agree, it should really be default behavior.)

Or in other words, use Common Sense?
Dilbert really got the point.
