Stupid question. Does an email reach the "public" internet if it is sent to the same domain. Except for some weird MTA agent configurations, the STMP server that receives your email for sending is the same that handles mailboxes. Why should it be different at google? Chances are it is never even transcribed to STMP and just a database entry.
You miss the point. It is not about the German government not being able to release open source software. The law prohibits the government to enter into competition with private companies, no matter what terms the software is covered. I don't know about LiMux and how they resolved that, maybe employs can contribute to existing open source in limited scope, but not publish new projects.
It is not about "giving" it away. The government can't make it available in 90% of the cases, period. Why, you ask. Because it is not allowed to interfere with the free market by also participating. So anything that not some super niche product, that technically a private entity could create, the government is not allowed to publish it. They are allowed to build software in house, if the software is not available or cheaper than buying it, but they are not allowed to act as software publisher. True, it is a weird logic, but that is the reasoning behind it.
Fun thing, I bring it back to my retails and demand it fixed... Now it is not my problem. If he refuses, small claims it is, where I get my right in under quarter of an hour. The only way they can wind themselves out of it, is if they can prove I did not use the device as intended...
Except that the law that in question is derived from an EU directive. It being a EU directive, meaning that that law should, in theory apply equally for all EU citizens. If the case fails in Brussels, it can be tried in a EU curt, because two countries came to separate conclusions about an EU directive and as a result either the law in Italy or the law in Belgian must be altered. It is true that there is no law that forces a precedent to be taken into account in this case, except that if it is not taken into account, it has adverse effects for the law as written.
The way I do it is simple, I budget time into the next feature to refactor the code along the lines where that feature will integrate. You will never go back and just refactor something, nobody will pay for it. So you say to the stake holder, to integrate this I need to do that, works all the time. The trick with agile teams is that they try to keep the technical debt small by integrating small refactoring into the daily workflow.
There are many things that people feel very strongly about that have no right answer. For example naming conventions or brace placement and spacing. It is important to have one consistent convention, but which is relevant. Nevertheless many developers feel very strongly if it should be called pWidgetMananger, widget_manager, widgetManager, widgetmananger or WidgetMananger.
That is no reason not to know the difference. I am working on software that is older than I am. But I still take the time to look around and get to know what else is there... and even if it is only to get some fresh ideas.
Except that in Europe, there is less violent crime, period. If it has a direct correlation to gun control laws is open to debate. The thing that I notice is the total difference of how law enforcement and security personnel react to a critical (not yet violent) situation. In the US they always expect the worst and react as such. For example if you get pulled over in the US the sheriff will walk up to the car with his hand on the gun and talk to you in a stern voice; they are trained that way. Contrast that to Germany, no big deal all is peachy, it sounds like you neighbor asking you to trim your tree, since the branches are starting to come on his property. In the US everything is more tense.
I think it is rather Blinn's Law at work. The reason why consoles have aimed at 30fps, is because average TVs did and still mostly do not go much higher. What good does it do more frames if your TV displays them at 24fps. Then you just cram more stuff into the frame. For the PC they "aim" at 60fps, but there it is more along the lines of "throw more hardware at it".
But high Mandarin is taught to all of them. So anyone who went to school in the last 20 years should at least speak high Mandarin. Remember high Mandarin, because even if they speak Mandarin there are severe dialects that many don't understand. If you want to learn "Chinese" you learn Mandarin.
I think the problem and controversy is that they reduce it to one single number. IQ (real, not the phony online) tests test all the areas, but then reduce it to exactly one number. It may be more sensible to keep the numbers separated.
The online tests are terrible anyway. I once took a "real" intelligence test during my diagnosis for dyslexia and that took over 2 hours with a bunch of different types of tests. The test results came in three numbers: "language", "math" and "logical thinking". (Don't ask me what it was exactly I was 10 at the time.) The final score was averaged over the three values. The online tests often are most of the time, find the next in the series and that is all. Plus I think that the test come out with reasonably high scores just to flatter the user.
Actually even now I think 20 years is OK for copyright. If you where not able to make money off your "property" in 20 years then it was not worth much. But now we have 70 years after the death of author, that is ridiculous. Especially when that number rises, let's see if Mickey Mouse is public domain, when that 70 years number hits or if they will extend it further.
Fun story, my English teacher (German school) wanted to go the the white house's website. Yea was fun experience when he typed in whitehouse.com... You should have seen the look on his face.
Why the white house has not failed a dispute claim for whitehouse.com at the IANA I don't know...
That is the cryptographers falsie, assuming that a illegible text is encrypted and not purely encoded. What the guy did was really ingenious, through not mathematically changing, so what?
It is like I get a blob of data and try to run it through GPG with all passwords known to me and then declaring is "uncrackable" and you pointing out that the first 4 bytes spell JPEG and I should just rename the file to.jpg. Sure you did not "crack" the file, but you are the one who looked at the issue with a wider scope and solved the problem...
If it is encrypted you need exactly the correct code book. The encryption algorithms they used in WW2 where quite weak; some where even computed by hand. To make things more complicated they gave each operative a different pad of code material, that then was destroyed after the message was sent.
If you are referring to the fact that maybe it is clear text and you mean code == acronyms, then they where definitely not standard procedure. The TFA writes about a similar standard practice in WW1; maybe some old officer taught his spotters the old WW1 codes so they won't have to bother with those newfangled encryption machines. It worked in the great war why should it not work now. Does that sound familiar?
They do that even today. The level of encryption is determined by the value of the Information. The value of the information is determined by how long the information is useful. For example positions and orders may be not be useful after a day so no need to use encryption that takes longer to break then a day.
Remember this is WW2 and encryption was really difficult. Either you could compute the cypher by hand and you had a high chance of error or you carried a heavy machine around that did the encryption. If you where a scout deep in enemy territory, having a bulky encryption machine is not very helpful.

But that directive is old, like at least 10 years now...

THEY ARE NOT PIRATING ANYTHING BY RUNNING A PROXY!!!! If you must go after the pirates; oh yea I forgot, that is hard...
