I'm not quite sure whether Settlers of Catan is what you're looking for. Trade usually benefits both, if you don't trade, you won't win.
It's incredible successful hereabouts, the US edition is actually prettier than the original. Very fun.
at least part of the problem was that for it to function well it needed a pretty hefty machine for those times.
I remember differently. I had a M100 (w/ decent RAM) at the time and could use it, even though Voice Type was said to be floating-heavy and Cyrices were said to be floating-weak.
It was simply awkward to use, headset and GUI and all.
OK, with a wireless headset and only intended to support the GUI, not replace the mouse, it could be very useful.
After more than twenty years of research and more than 20.000.000.000 DM of taxpayers money put into this, our new Government very nearlycancelled the whole thing
How could it be that the government could cancel it? The Transrapid consortium is a private business and even though we paid 2E10 DM in taxes, they still could not make it profitable.
the Environmentalist Party in Germany blocked the Project due to environmental concerns.
the answer is simply that Alice should be allowed to sell the box with or without said restraints
Or: "There is nothing wrong with allowing people to optionally choose to buy copy-protection products that they like."
The existing IP companies have nothing to offer in the new world, and no hope of adapting. Therefore they must fight to the death to maintain the old one.
That, I will quote you on.
He's very aware of how important keeping the film as close as possible to the published stories is to his fans, but he's also very much more aware of how difficult it is to get a film made
Well, don't. Nobody says every good book will be a good movie.
With his books getting worse for years now, I wonder how he will trash his Masterpiece.
There will be problems, but IT techs are much sought after and your company will almost certainly help you.
The language won't be a problem, as english is used in most IT companies anway. About one out of two projects I worked in uses english for documentation. (If you get to know people beside co-workers depends on you, of course.)
I used to live in walled-in Berlin, now I live one mile from The Netherlands and work one mile from Belgium. It's a great change, even in the same country.

Because you've been a student. Students get shitloads of bonuses in Germany, this is the only cutback.
Apparently, there were other problems as well, since I never actually got around to working.
There must be some other reason. It couldn't possibly be your fault.

Still the best GUI is OS/2's Workplace Shell, supported by a filesystem with extended attributes. Its OO nature makes it consistent and apparently easily extensible, as I have yet to see amazing tools like DragText or XFolder/XWorkplace for other GUIs.

I agree with you, I disagree with the judge; still, this must be judged by french standards.

It's just plain wrong to expect foregn organizations, based in foregn countries to conform to their laws
That's ridiculous, as you very well know. Do you wish to follow orders from French judges?
They can NOT police their laws on the rest of the world.
Last time I checked, that's about all US foreign policy is about.
we will continue to see these sorts of demands from various countries as the internet becomes more pervasive outside the U.S
Unless every government in the world wakes up and starts thinking like us soon
Hmmph, kinda makes me gald to be living in the US

Another US citizen who can only think one way: According to latest studies, the US of A are not in a constant state of perfectness which only waits to spill over to the rest of the world. Just think of the preposterous attitude towards Cuba

First of all, I want to apologize for my harsh remark. Regional power is actually a Good Thing for many issues.
But: To execute regional power in unimportant things like details of ballots is confusing, unnecessary and probably expensive. If a Swedish-French conspiracy forces the EU to use ballots with elks wielding baguettes on it, I couldn't care less.
So yes, the states have control, but they shouldn't and needn't.
Several of those tiny litle staties are bigger than your tiny little countries
Well, some states are bigger than some contries, but with 50 states sharing 275 Mio. people, even my Bundesland (if (state==country) Bundesland=county) has more than thrice the Population of the avarage state.
Why? All the trouble of the last days had nothing to do with the non-electronic nature of the elections.
Election results for one county in Michigan were held up for two hours because some volunteers with ballots were barricaded in the building by a bear. A bear! What century is this?
TWO HOURS! ALMIGHTY GOD! THE END IS NIGH!
Honestly, you really don't want to let CNN decide that the elections have to be finished at Prime Time, do you?
Plot the percentage of lower-income homes with internet access from 1996 to 2000, and then extrapolate another four years.
Yep, do it, plot ahead. I doubt that the trend will continue. Prove me wrong with scientific data, but don't just say so. There will remain some people forced to fight bears or arbitrary closing times.
In Germany we use a piece of paper and a large pencil. There are many advantages with this approach:
1. Everyone is instantly and completely aware what to do.
2. Everyone is instantly and completely comfortable with it. You can see and touch not only your own vote, but every vote from your region. No place for conspiracy theories.
3. No core dumps. Maybe a totally bugfree software could be written (and anything less is not enough), but it would be very expensive.
Technology is not good in itself. Take care of the problems.

Do you think Germany really gives a rat's ass how Sweden runs their voting?
No, they would be too busy introducing a common currency.
That your tiny little staties get a high because they can choose the color of the ballot is really funny.
It serves to provide a voice for states with smaller populations. You see, with simply a popular vote election, the candidates could just move up and down the east and west coast and completely ignore the central United States.
Why you regard the states higher than their citizens is beyond me. Would you please tell me why people from Kansas are more important than people from SF?
The Senate is already highly biased toward smaller states. That proves that it is possible to take both states and citizens into account without mixing issues.

Didn't Germany want Compuserve to ban some stuff several years ago?
Didn't the USA kill Sharon Tate and four others in 1969?
Country != person, even outside of the US. The ruling was said to be against the law and easiliy appealed right after it was passed. So it happened.

What irritates me is that you apparently regard useless comments from Americans as high as useful comments from foreigners. Why?
Could someone please explain this to us non-US?
