Because if people are exposed to them, they may learn about Nazis, what they did and how it affected people all over the world. Obviously, the best policy is to sweep it all under the rug so that the world can forget that the Nazis ever existed, and thus never learn from that particular era of human history.

Does anyone know what other hardware configurations will make Apple sue Freetype, or make CmdrTaco think Apple is suing Freetype? What will make Apple sue Microsoft? Maybe using Intel NICS to connect a BeOS PC and a OS/2 PC through a D-LINK hub.

Windows plays just great as long as you're only using Microsoft products.
Huh? Have you ever tried to use more than one MS product at a time? Tried installing Office95/97 after you've uninstalled Office2000? Tried using Office97 & Outlook2000? (We have Office97 Pro, but are using Outlook2000 w/Exchange server.)

On the surface, yes. Of course, if they do this, then they are accepting responsibility for keeping all connections that originate in Germany out. This is easy for a client connecting from an IP in a German subnet, but what about a connection that originates in Germany, and gets masq'd through multiple other systems outside of Germany? By stating that they will block all German originated traffic, they have back that up, by accepting responsibility for someone in Germany who bypasses a basic filter. As some others have mentioned, once you start, it snowballs.

Yep, but it was slightly different. That case was a US-owned company selling their regionalised product directly to German entities. This is a US based company that lets people everywhere that is wired join their service and look at music files of other members. They are not taking their product, and selling it strictly to German citizens. The defrag program has only been removed from German versions of Win2000, IIRC.
This case involves the German gov't telling Napster to censor it's content on a world-wide basis, since their service is the same for all netizens, barring any language ports.
If Germany wants to censor their own citizens, that's their business. It's when they wish to force their Nazi-style censorship on the rest of the world that it's no longer a matter of, "We don't and won't support anything from such-and-such a group."
It seems to me that it's time for Napster to stand up and say, "I don't believe in what you're saying, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it."
Of course, as a US citizen, I believe that our Constitution does not grant us rights, but rather simply states what God has given us as humans, so that tends to color my perceptions on this sort of thing.
Well, mine isn't quite as easy as THAT. I tend to wait too long to cut the grass, so I have a lot to push through. Doing it to myself, I guess. The noise level is a big plus, that's for sure.
Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure the Indianapolis Star still uses the tubes, and I know the Indianapolis Police Dept. still does, at least at their public desk.
The reel mowers are great! I have one that was left by the previous owner of my house. Yes, it's an effort, but it cuts beautifully when I'm not too lazy to use it.
My brother still has his Amiga 500. Was a wonderful machine, the graphics, when done right, were truly breathtaking. He used it for graphic design, and pottering with CAD. I mooched time on it to play games. Compared to the PCs at the time, it was incredible!
Well, he was killed by Eddie Valiant and Roger Rabbit before he and Cloverleaf could completely run the Red Car out of business, and pave over Toon Town, but they got a good enough start to make it snowball.
