It is possible to take part in EU science programs and funding like Horizon 2020 without strictly being an EU member. For example, Switzerland used to participate in such programs almost the same way member states do (including receiving funding, but of course also by funding it itself).
Unfortunately, the EU really likes using such programs to put pressure to non-member states for completely unrelated negotiations, and as a result has recently excluded Switzerland from Horizon 2020. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same tactics also against the UK in the future.
Does it need to? It seems tax systems based on self-reporting and trust can work quite well (provided the taxes are reasonably low and people have a say in how the money is spent, as it should be in any democracy). For example, tax fraud is assumed to be low in Switzerland compared to its neighbor states despite the government having no way to know whether people self-report correctly.
From the related MS13-022 security bulletin: "Most customers have automatic updating enabled and will not need to take any action because this security update will be downloaded and installed automatically. "
Unless you're one of those "smart" people that use windows but disable windows update...
Given the US spying and cyberwar against the whole world, these chinese attempts are hardly relevant in practice.

VLC Reaches 2.1

So, what was Apple's attitude when you asked them why they couldn't implement this the standard way? After all, its seems Apple is doing it wrong, not VLC.
It seems to me the real problem here is not the purportedly offensive jokes or the public tweet, but that people can actually get fired over a simple joke or tweet (and the law actually allows this).
Those legal principles and constitutional rights are certainly nice, but looking at FATCA, TSA and everything around "terrorism", copyright and taxation, fishing expeditions and profiling do seem to be the US tool of choice recently.
UPC Cablecom (Switzerland, Zurich) - times out right after the first router (static.cablecom.ch) Init7 (Switzerland, Zurich) - works perfectly fine (via portlane.net)
Interesting that you question China's motive behind its increasing military spending, yet seem perfectly fine with the US military spending which is apparently still much larger than China's. Yes, it's ok for the US to plan for more than just "peacful regional defense" (they're actually obligated to do so), but the same is also true for China. No, I don't like that either, but it's rational.
It's interesting how a lot of Germans cry out loud when the EU overrides some of their laws and make them give up a tiny bit of data privacy, while at the same time they (together with the French) try very hard to force other EU members like Austria (and also non-EU nations like Switzerland) to completely give up their *banking data* privacy.

How is this any different to National Security Letters which the US uses broadly to the same effect? The UK just want the same...
I don't see many people criticizing Juniper. Most seem to make fun of the US government and its three-letter agencies working against each other.
This is not entirely correct. Ampere is an SI base unit while Coulomb is a SI derived unit (defined as 1 C = 1 A s) - not the other way round.

Correction: dreadful *Web*-font rendering. Normal system fonts are quite ok.
It can't possibly be worse than Chrome which has dreadful font rendering on Windows.

They are doing this already, e.g. Office 365 for $9.99 per month (includes licenses for up to 5 PCs)

Google.com has customers in the EU, so EU law applies as well. This is also true the other way around, and enforced by the US on a daily basis.
It was about "design" as in "interactive user interface design", not as in Illustrator, Inkscape, Photoshop etc.
Windows+X is your friend (no need to go through Metro, not even the first time)
What % of them actually cared about us enough to consider us as enemy in the first place? That is, before the drone attacks?
The article isn't very clear about this either.
