Oh, that must be the politically correct name of the German state, specifically under Hitler's occupation? Oh wait, wasn't that a free, democratic election by the German people that brought Hitler to power?
The pipe is cool, because robots are involved, and it will clean the Baltic? Wait, the real concern are the chemical weapons. What about accidents when parts of Baltic marine life were wiped off because of some spontaneous chemical weapons leakages?
Besides, the former german chancellor Schroeder acting as a CEO of a Russian megacompany rings my alarm bells.

Soviets dumped the discarded ammunition without any protection preferrably near Bornholm or Gotland, or if the ship crew deemed necessary - at any place in Baltic. Corroded ammunition has already poisoned Pucka Bay near Gdansk in 1970s (see the pictures). The fishing is not allowed there to this day.
Like so many others. First - genuine growth and competitiveness by innovation. Next - if lucky to reach the level of political corruption - corporate impotency, relaying on brand strength, monopoly, dubious patents and legislation. This phase is characterized by outsorcing and growth by takeovers; Apple (ex. ARM cores under A4 brand in iGlutton), and Microsoft all meet here. Third - an empty corporate shell managing the last asset - brand. I have already no great expectations of Google who tries to exterminate Firefox (new YouTube codecs) and attempts draining money from the government (pushing patents into public services), like in this example.
Oh, don't forget that it was Clinton abolishing in the year 1999 a law from 1929 that had gotten US into the banking mess. Plus, creating innovative rules for mortgages... Patents and Copyrights sole purpose is to enhance the society and this justification has to come back into consideration urgently.
Just thinking of the saints, even if their stories are not true, gives me the hope that universal tropisms of a human race do exist indeed: The gravity towards the ideas of justice, good, quest for truth, or... you name it the Slashdot crowd who keep writing comments deeply Christian in spirit while your upmodded words whip the Catholic Church together with any religion except of perhaps a few postmodern dillusions, the like Global Warming or Vegetarianist variety. So to finish - I'm looking forward to finding a priest committed to his struggle for saithood and love of the human race on the Internet. The more of them, the better, like those of you, Slashdotties and quite unlike the Big Pharma/Secura/Intproperta/Ratraca disgusting specimens.
That very Lutz Heck who in 1939 arrived at freshly captured Warsaw to plunder the zoological garden. The programme of his visit included more looting in Bialowieza forest. He had stolen the specimens of Przewalski horse, Tarpan and Zubr - the last species being a point of sour professional jealousy... After the robbery, Gestapo officers organized hunting binges in what remained of the ZOO in Warsaw, but that's off topic here.
Apparently, the Israeli patented the pulse engine, used in V1 rockets by German Army during the WW2. Oh well... Where's the trick? Did the Germans fail to patent pulse engine for non-racial killing, did they limit the lethal direction, or or was their patent invalidated in 1945?
From the linked article: "Using a patented process involving Pulse Detonation Technology (PDT), the system feeds the gas-air mixture into one or more so-called impulse chambers or cannon barrels, where the burning fuel detonates and intensifies in force as it travels through the chamber, exiting in a rapid-fire succession of high-velocity shock bursts."

Ted Alvin Klaudt must be the Ted Alvin Klaudt, the lawmaker Ted Alvin Klaudt accused of raping Ted Alvin Klaudt's two foster daughters. Is there any Ted Alvin Klaudt to accuse Ted Alvin Klaudt for raising copytight claims on Ted Alvin Klaudt's name?
Slow down, dear Slashdot Editors. The present impasse at Copenhagen might only be a game to raise the bets. Money might still flow and there is no reason to leave the Global Warming Propaganda ship just yet. Go back to peddling the New Religion. On the other side, Russian economy depends on the fossil fuel exports, their nuclear technology lost luster after Chernobyl, their administration is strictly disciplined by Putin's regime, so who knows if the allegations would hold water...
Very good point. Similar arrogance took place in the world of politics with the Lisbon Treaty in Europe. All referendums (in Holland, France and Ireland) rejected the treaty, and the Irish had to correct their first, "improper" choice. The "right" and "wrong" had been settled in advance, then worked on by massive propaganda to force the consent of population. Two problems, one pattern.
The armies of Slashdot keyboard ants and moderation lizards rushed to plug the bleeding hole in AGW with their tiny authorities, resembling a manifestation in support of The Great Linguist and The World Peace Leader (Stalin).
Vladimir Illich Ulianov (Lenin) used to call them "Useful Idiots".
Others, like a Greenpeace activist interviewed in rp.pl quotes "scientific consensus" over 300000 climate-change-inflicted deaths per year. No word where the numbers came from, nor about the leaked emails which clearly show how the "scientists" try to bully a consensus on climate predictions. Would they have to discuss the mattter if it was settled?
What was in the leaked emails tells about the conduct of researchers from CRU enough for me to ignore their claims. They have no credibility, whatever theory they support.
Perhaps you talk about some other Eastern Europe than that where I come from (Poland). The huge government-led industrialization projects were beyond any control and no concern was given to environment. During 1960-1980 the devastation was so rampant, even the strictly censored newspapers wrote about massive health problems and deaths caused by pollution. Have you ever seen a lilly-violet "water" in a river or a "forest" of dead trees still standing? In Poland the onset of capitalism and shift away from inefficient, outdated technologies has allowed the environment to recover during the last 20 years, but the river I used to bath in as a toddler is still too dirty to enter. Sadly, it seems my river is going to remain dirty in the future, as the money is diverted away from real problems (environmental pollution) into a scam scheme of limiting CO2 emissions (bankers' pockets).
"Have you ever" taken a train or an airplane instead of a horse carriage in order to travel across a continent? And not paid the carriage owner as result?
What makes you think anyone had to pay for service fading away into obsolescence?
The modern copyright disputes have "The Red Flag Act" reminiscences all over them.
Nobody seems to have noticed the name that should be remembered. Jim McCormick, the leader of ATSC (UK) Ltd., the London-based company that has sold hundreds of the devices to Iraq’s Interior Ministry. The money he got is stained with blood of the bomb victims, but a scum like him wouldn't even care. Why does Earth carry miscreants of his kind? He deserves to be a bomb victim himself, nothing else.
"The basic idea is to have an Linux OS, with IBM smart client applications called Open Collaboration Client Solution software (OCCS)(Lotus Symphony and Notes) for enterprise apps."
Good Lord, hear my prayers and keep our Linux free from the dreadful and ugly Notes monster...
"On September 19th, the GNOME Foundation and the Free Software Foundation will host a mini-summit on how to increase women's participation in the free and open source software (FOSS) communities."
Not "increase talented developer participation", but "increase women's participation".
THIS AGENDA IS SEXIST. The Gnome Foundation's meeting agenda was to introduce sexism to FOSS.
How wrong were I thinking that only professional matters should be of concern. Before we tackle the obvious sexist attitude in capitalist society towards childbearing, let me recall Sokal's discussions with postmodernist on mixing politics with science. Hope we aren't all living in Orwell's animal farm, just yet...
The CO2 stampede will fade out, the environmentalist crooks will be getting rich with tributes paid to save the Moon, and just when my current stock of incadescent bulbs will be about to finish, I will again be able to buy fine classical bulbs in a shop. This is my 70 year old mother's opinion.
Following your argumentation, the pipe should enter the EU in the nearest member country and run by land (price, ecology) from there. Yet it is going to run around the Baltic States and Poland (or Finland and Sweden for an alternative path).
You seem to confuse the european interest with the german interest.

As to your second argument, the disputes are normal and happen constantly. The last conflict undermining the reliability of Ukraine as transit country had a peculiar timing. That was my point.
Paraphrasing: why should we allow ourselvses to be taken hostage and used as bargaining chips in Third Reich and Great Britain fights?
Depends, how you define european interest. For me, this is foremost avoiding energy dependence on single supplying country, especially one known for using economical (Finland), energy (Ukraine) blackmail or straight military force against neighbouring states (Georgia) recently.

Or refuse paying taxes.
Because of prevailing harm to societies it is necessary not to limit, but to abolish the copyrights completely.
