TFA/TFS says that the blood stream through the lung is driven by the normal blood circulation - so far so good.
but what about air exchange? the thing doesn't look flexible, so I think it is not possible to use the biological muscle-driven air stream. The information in the article are sparse, only "while air is fed into the gas inlet" mentions the topic of the air flow.
this is only a first step, mechanical ventilation is still needed (and with the need of external devices this implanted lung is imo not useful, not only maintenance is harder but the patient has additionaly the danger of complications without the result of an apparatus-free life)
this defense strategy suggests itself - the legal framework in the UK is not completely different from Germany (European Convention on Human Rights articles 10 and 11 comes to mind).
It seems this was seldom tested in court, here is an example in the US (didn't found a follow-up story, does anyone know the outcome of this case?)
the first sentence was more a fishing for attention...
but I think one part of your statement is arguable; "their website was DDoSed, which is against the law" is at least in Germany not as clear as it seems. Sure, we have laws that can be used against DDoS attacks (mostly 303b "Computersabotage" of the criminal code) but in 2006 a court (on state-level) ruled that a "virtual sit-in" [i.e. DDoS] at lufthansa.de was legitimate (see here, not the best source but it was mostly covered in German)
So the right to protest should be weighed against the service disruption of the target.
okay, so PayPal shows again its evilness. but though I dislike the quality of the service (I will never use my account to actually store any money) I don't see any competition.
Can anyone advice a payment service with a similar acceptance and convenience?
don't forget the point of view, it depends on the sender of the message.
compare those two statements:
In the first quarter of 2016, we'll prep and de-orbit the spacecraft
Right now we've agreed with our partners that the station will be used until approximately 2020
I don't see anything disrespecting in both sentences, but the second one is evil because a Russian said it? And the first one great as it was spoken by an US American?
I don't see your point - the announcement was made by a spokesperson of the Russian agency, it seems quite logical from his POV to say "we and our partners". I'm sure a press release by the NASA or ESA would use a similar wording.
US ISPs, (and most other democratic countries as well) can refuse and go to court to fight the requirement. ultimately, the supreme Court can rule and the government must comply.
unfortunately this is not exactly true, National Security Letters are (disclaimer: IANAL) neither refusable nor you are allowed to make it public. One example was this case of an ISP owener, he had the guts to disclose it to the ACLU.
instead of the not production-ready salt silo hydroelectricity seems a more realistical solution - either as pumped-storage to balance the fluctuating production of photovoltaic/wind or run-of-the-river as 24/7 supplier. the latter is the only source of energy for one quite big hosting company here in Germany
If I understood the Japanese law correctly, you'd have to have some kind of intent to use that malware to infect other computers to break it. So far, so good. [..] The German "anti-hacker law" cannot. There is simply no angle or way this could possibly have any beneficial effect. Basically, what the law says is that a "hacking tool" is illegal.
I don't know of any actual cases based on this *great* law but two criminal self-complaints - both were dismissed by the prosecutors. A constitutional complaint was not accepted because the law does not infringe any fundamental rights.
both the Japanese and the German laws are stupid as it is impossible to enforce them with reasonable methods:
* The literal application of the German one would forbade even "hacker tools" like telnet. * Japanese law enforcement agencies will have problems to distinguish between illegal distribution of malware and infected machines. Confiscate and analyse every computer of an IP distributing malware _is_ effective but not reasonable.
Are its services really going to be cheaper and/or better than Netflix's in the long run? Is 'You'll hate us less than Netflix' really a viable business model?"
in a way this describes the model of Google+ compared to Facebook. so yes, this can be a successful basis
how will they differentiate between active distribution of malware and infected machines? if some agency identifies an IP address handing out virus they will send in a SWAT team to confiscate all computers to search for installed malware or how should this work?
having a pro-US dictatorship is the only way to partially insure that. Tell that to Mubarak
afaik no military operations by the US in Egypt, did you miss the context?
No, nuclear weapons alone does not make you immune from US military involvement, having a stable and friendly government is the only way to partially insure that.
the site is very scarce with facts, only a couple of lines in "About". cool project, but a nice example of slashvertisement - we learn _nothing_ about the technology, only that it's SECURE and coded in java...
You may install, use, access, display and run one copy of the Product on a single computer, such as a workstation, terminal or other device (“Workstation Computer”).
I don't see any rationale why a virtualized environment isn't accepted as a computer - but you need for every instance a own XP license.
If I remember correctly the EULA of Windows Vista (excluding Ultimate) forbade virtualization.
there is no difference between "Government uses cloud-storage products form Huddle to share files" and "Government uses Sharepoint from Microsoft to share files". If the GSAE (some kind of VPN? found no explanation for this service) is secure a common platform for file exchange can be a Good Thing (tm)

maybe "without announcement" as it seems impossible to "quietly" upgrade something when it results in a changed UI...
but at least we have a person to blame: he wrote it.

next time I will be a little bit more specific: Currently Dwolla is not opening accounts for residents in Germany
and as Dwolla is US only it is only an alternative for a part of all internet users.
and not available in Germany...

in total three "meetings". and - history repeats itself - the same problems with Firefox in enterprise environments:
* Packaging (MSI)
* Settings Management (GPO)
And the blog with the meeting notes is deleted. as I expected: This was a _really_ important project for Mozilla...
is Asa Dotzler part of this workgroup?
