" can't remove your implicit copyright to your own works." yes, it can. A boiler plat contract is a contract.
clash of cultures.
American-style/common law copyright allows to waive all rights, European-style copyright law is built around the (unwaivable) moral rights. It is possible to sell economic rights, but some "implicit" (as the GP called it) rights are still attached to the author/creator.
your points are valid, but take also a look at the drifting semantics. The evil empire of yesteryear was communism, yesterday socialism and today social democracy? Extrapolated this should lead to "the failures of European-style traditional conservatism" in about 2 days...
I think anyone can request the deletion of a trademark if it's unused for 5 years and/or not enforced/defended (though this is not specific for Germany but valid in all EU member countries)
I could be related to the German company Metro AG (Wikipedia) - they are _very_ aggressive with trademarks (including killing a fan-site for the rapid transit-type of Metro).
One of the Nice Classes Metro AG owns the trademark for METRO is 9, the classification includes "data processing equipment, computers; computer software". afaik the company has no claims in this specific part of the Nice Classification, but as a big retailer (and business partner for MS) they had probably the way and means to convince Microsoft...
If consumers get this, what makes is it so difficult for geeks to grok it?
There's a German word for this: Fachidiot [literally profession idiot]. The idea is that sometimes professionals are thinking to specific - they loose the ability to think outside the box.
The whole iPad vs Galaxy Tab mess could be based on this: The argument is mostly about extremly tight details without context. Sure, a side-by-side image is similar, but your typical consumer sees also the bigger picture; like typical orientation of the device, look-and-feel of applications, price tag and description in the shop,...
Can we please just vote for "No President" for the next four years?
Belgium had between June 2010 and November 2011 no functioning central government (only a managing administration without own majority in the parliament) - and the country still functioned. So yes, "no president" could be an interesting and working way of politicking.
Now you're afraid to run a node, because this can happen again.
yes. I knew something like this could happen (and was in a way prepared - the police visit was surprising but not completely unexpected), but lawyer and new computers were expensive...
Sure, it is cowardly - blame me as I blame myself:)
I had legal troubles* as someone used my exit node for downloading child pornography. after nearly 2 years the prosecutor closed the proceedings as he found nothing punishable.

nah, not sure. SMART-1 was a test bed, but not DS1. though DS1 used an (more or less) experimental propulsion system the science done outweighs the test character.
either "random images" (your first post) or "representative sample" (as in your reply) - you can't have both.
And IMO are both of your proposals not within the scope of Wikipedia, images are used to illustrate/support the article; the tie to the text is central for an encyclopedia.
but I agree, the Commons template is in need of improvement, though I don't see a really useful way: The German version is cluttered (literally "album with images and/or videos and audio files"), the English' one is not self-explanatory.
Slashdot Mirror
A$$le
this is too hard to parse (Assle? whut?), though you could use something like App£€
everyone wants restore, no one make backups...
sigh, spent all my mod points already...
the WP article about "Aluminium rust" is quite informative.
afaik no one crash-tests vehicles at 140 km/h [at least under defined conditions, real-world crash"tests" are a different topic...]
it's surprising just how much the Slashdot site sucks
this is /.'s USP - if the site would work flawlessly it would feel like a boring news aggregator...
Supposedly 30% of their households don't have electricity and the remainder suffer from regular blackouts, and they want to go to Mars?
Why explore space?
Granted, this was in 1970 and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center director - but he made many valid points and his letter is also true for India.

but...does it run linux?
no, GCC doesn't support the processor.
but the Crysis experience is excellent - details cranked up to 11 and the immersion is _fantastic_
Welsh

this is synonym, isn't it?
Is Polochschrieber a word?
it took a while... I think you tried to translate "asshole writer"? Next time you should use "Arschlochschreiber".
but wtf did I wrong to deserve this title?
The 'failure' of social democracy?
your points are valid, but take also a look at the drifting semantics. The evil empire of yesteryear was communism, yesterday socialism and today social democracy? Extrapolated this should lead to "the failures of European-style traditional conservatism" in about 2 days...
ah shit... thanks for the corrections.
[there's a wide gap between "knowing the language" and "living the language"....]

Once you start playing with infinite numbers you have to be very careful with concepts like "less than" or "more than".
Numberphile has a nice video about different types of infinity: http://www.numberphile.com/videos/countable_infinity.html

If I'm looking up, say, a foreign city, I want collections of random images. It gives feel for the city.
But it is not Wikipedia's function to display image galleries - just go to Commons (one click away).
Random example: Augsburg (Wikipedia) - Augsburg (Commons)
