"Nachrichtendienste" (news agencies!?) That's "intelligence agencies".
and "ausländische Staaten" (other countries, apparently any that ask) Most likely not any country that asks, but western countries who state that it's for the purposes of an ongoing investigation.
His assailants held what felt like a semi-automatic weapon [emphasis mine] to the back of Cocker's head...
Wow! This guy must be damn good if he can tell the difference between a semi-automatic, a fully-automatic, and a six-shooter by the way it feels on the back of his head.
TFA says nothing about what kind of capacity improvements we're talking about here. Can anybody offer some insight? What kind of a charge will they be able to hold compared to today's chemical equivalents?
I agree, it's just easy to do when all that some people know about Germany IS WWII. Therefore, everything "bad" that happens in Germany gets an automatic reference to Naziism.
It's a bit hypocritical to talk about telling the rest of the world what to do given the current state of the USA's foreign "policy".
Hitler's intentions for the world were clearly stated, both in his speeches and in his book. The new danger is better disguised...
We need to send satellites to Lunar orbit. It certainly can't be that hard, based on what we've been able to do. And it'd bring us a lot more information than pointing the hubble at the moon. Whatta ya say NASA/ESA/Russian/Chinese dudes?
The other replies mentioned how to shut it off, but the fact that it's on by default is ridiculous. I find the idea of some kind of launch feedback ok, but this method is ugly and distracting.
For something to be patentable (at least over here), there must be an inventive step. Using XML to store data is what XML is for, this is an obvious use of existing technlogy and therefore should not be patentable. There's no invention there.
According to the abstract, the inventive step is to use a so-called "XSD" to "perform an action" on the document, to "validate" it, or do "display" it. Ingenious!
I would certainly have to agree with the part previous to the latter of your statement and point. That latter thought, however, is like an absurd icing on an absurd cake.
then wheres the proof? That editors note is rather convenient, but it doesnt prove anything[note: yes it does], which is easily done by providing a link or two to sources of smaller devices.
Just kidding. Google doesn't know for sure what the world's smallest printer is, but here, here, here and here are a couple possibilities. Really convincing is the line "World's smallest printer IN THE WORLD!"
As with any other commercial enterprise, the one thing guaranteed to stop it is that it just doesn't pay.
If it's practically free to send SPAM, than ANY return yields a net profit. Even if one in a million buy something, it pays. Therefore, the solution needs to be the other way around: It needs to cost money to send SPAM. Imagine where we'd be if an email were to cost $0.001 . The average person would spend up to $0.02 per day on email, and SPAM would be all but eliminated, as sending out one million mails then costs $1000 . And I certainly don't mind paying 1/10 of a cent for an email. (This is just an example; actual costs could vary while remaining minimal for the individual)
Glad to see you saw my point through my spelling and grammatical errors. I wrote it in a hurry, and because of that I'm not sure the moderators will be so nice.
It's true, though. I've learned a lot about perspective since living here in Braunschweig, Germany. The patriotism which has been hammered into me throughout my school years, the "we're the good guys, the world police, the only true democracy who's never (really) lost a war" bullshit, is now counterbalanced with the Rest of the Story(TM), which helps me to understand Bush's true agenda. And I try to bring this across to my friends and family, and any other Americans I come across who just don't get it.
This is completely untrue. I'm an American living in Germany, and have absolutely no problem telling everyone where I'm from. What's going on is not in away "anti-Americanism" like most think. The Germans learned in WWII not to be for or against any nationality. The sentiment here is against Bush (read: Oil) Politics. At least here people understand that disliking a countries politics isn't the same as hating people in that country. Maybe we Americans can learn something here.
heh, when I was in school we telnetted from NT PCs into a Unix server (don't remember which flavor anymore), because the assignments had to compile and run on the instructor's gcc. Talk about a waste of money on those NT boxes...

You mean to say that you've managed to earn a master's degree without gaining any practical experience in the field?
Good luck.
Even less forgivable: his torso opens from the wrong side! How dare you?!?

Don't forget about those who make $400,000 per year to run our country.
That big red button of his? Yeah, that's the "nucular" button.
Somebody send him an invite and see what happens. :) I would but I've only got one left...
Can you back up this statistic? If not, why bother writing it?
Most importantly is that they put their differences in systems of measurement aside...

Hope I've helped.
try game numbers "-1" and "-2". :)
Put in on Linux. It does infinite loops in 5 seconds, man. Fsckin' awesome.
Read Mein Kampft(sp)?
In case you want to know, it's Mein Kampf. Direct translation is "My Struggle".

Thanks for paying attention.
In case you're tired of looking for UFOs with SETI, you can use your spare CPU cycles to help prove/disprove this hypothesis here
...spare cycles which would be completely wasted if this proof is real.
