If the big-screen TV does not have a (working) tuner, you don't have to pay fees. If you really don't want to watch TV, you can buy a screen without tuner or have the tuner disabled.
The "TV tax" is based on s treaty between the German states (Bundesländer), i.e. it effectively is coordinated state law. The union has no capacity to make such laws in Germany. Most state governments are run by conservatives.
There's a "radio tax" in Germany, too. It's included in the "TV tax" if you also own and pay for a TV set in your household.
If you are able to find a collision in MD5, that still does not allow you to find the password. It does not even allow you to forge the payload (and leave the hash the same) because the input for the hash function includes the password.
And, 90% of the time, the bounce message will say something like "joeblow?@yahoo.com": user unknown. Most MTAs put a "?" in place of a space when sending out, so it means the user actually typed "joeblow @yahoo.com".
This actually is the user agent's fault: If the user enters an email address like this, it should automatically correct it to ``joeblow@yahoo.com''.
Actually, ``To: joeblow @yahoo.com'' is legal in message headers -- the extra space is not significant. But it is not legal in the envelope for use by MTAs. The correct way to have ``joeblow '' as a local-part would be ``"joeblow "@yahoo.com'')
While the "caps lock" key made sense on typewriters, which have limited typesetting features, it is generally a bad idea to use all-caps characters on a computer. Instead, one should write the text with normal capitalization and then use markup to have it appear as all-caps.
E.g. in HTML, instead of "ALL CAPS" one should write "all caps" (of course, this makes more sense if you use logical markup and put the CSS into the style sheet).
"What innovation? Gnome and KDE have been simply emulating mac os/windows features for several releases...
It's not that the programmers of "mac os/windows" invented them: Microsoft copied from MacOS, Apple uses concepts from PARC, some ideas come from IBM's Presentation Manager (OS/2 GUI)... It's hard to tell where an idea originally came from.
The GPL tries to be a bit more restrictive than it can possibly be according copyright law on some borderline cases.
For example, the GPL does try to restrict the use of GPL libraries -- even shared libraries. If you use them in your commercial program but don't distribute the libraries, copyright law can't stop you as you don't use it in a way relevant to copyright law (which only covers copies, public performance, etc.)
It is questionable whether you can enforce these restrictions through contract law. That's not a big problem, however: If you can't, you just lose what you did not have in the first place.
You can just connect the second CD (or DVD) drive to one of the "aux" or "line in" plugs. Or you could buy/build an adaptor (that contains a few resistors) and hook them to a single port on your sound card.
Having three optical drives in my system, I actually have done both.;-)
"Answers your point...as for KDE "leaders" doing government work, in Germany. The *only* place in the world where KDE has any traction is Germany, and it isn't much."
One of driving forces behind KDE has been SuSE, which is based in Germany. Now SuSE is owned by Novell... and they are already pushing GNOME.
Verisign clearly says on the page linked from the story that they will be renewing your registration annually.
So if Versign dies, they won't be able to do this any longer. So you have to renew the domain (and pay for it) yourself. Of course, if Verisign becomes insolvent, you won't get your money back either.
Can you imagine viewing *any* web page if.gif files were not displayed in the browser?
That's a stupid argument. Of course, Mozilla should display images embedded in web pages. It just should not register as the default application for viewing standalone images.
SCO USA and SCO Germany are two different legal entitities. SCO Germany is under a preliminary injunction not to make unsubstantiated claims, the parent company SCO USA is not. (It is possible to file an action against SCO USA at a German court based on the fact that they publish their website to Germany. But it's not as easy as suing the local subsidiary.)
On the other hand, the company that put up the infrastructure could lease it to other companies, but why would they unless forced to?
Well, do exactly that: Force them. It works for electricity and phone lines here in Germany (and other EU countries). (Water and sewer is a bit more difficult, though.)

No, there can be a third result:
3. The GPL is partially valid. You can distribute the software even if you don't comply with all the terms.

The German langauge sign is on the other side of the entrance.

Well, you don't pay taxes on goods you export -- this is why the sales tax has not already been paid.
You pay taxes for goods you import.
No, it means they re-program KDE features for GNOME.
And (hopefully) that KDE apps will run seamlessly under GNOME.
You can just connect the second CD (or DVD) drive to one of the "aux" or "line in" plugs. Or you could buy/build an adaptor (that contains a few resistors) and hook them to a single port on your sound card.

GNOME has VFS, which is basically the same as KDE's IO slaves.
Please define the terms "porn" an "unsuited for minors" in a globally acceptable way first.
Nope. There have already been people sued because of their phone number ("4711").
They are running DNS software but they are not part of the> DNS.

They already have.
