The U.S. can do very much to an European citizen. Putting him on a no-fly list. Outbidding his company by tipping his bids to their own company. Stealing trade secrets and contract details to competitors. Damaging his reputation by disclosing secrets he has to keep to interesting parties. Letting some accidental data breach happen.
Agreed in the sense, that I was choosing the lesser of two evils. I could either drive with a private car and try to get a refund, or take the company car. I calculated that I had to drive more than 15,000 mls per year for the company to just get even. As most of my work is done remotely, I never reach 15,000 mls per year, but I had to buy a second car just for the job.
Freedom of choice doesn't amount to much, if all alternatives are bad.
That's what actually happens to me, but it's not socialist, it's purely capitalist: Because I have to drive to customers, the company is paying a car for me, but because I could use it privately, they deduct 250 € monthly from my paycheck.
But private entities should be allowed to seize assets for the greater good ("a free market, that will benefit us all"), right? Pardon, it's not seizing assets, it's called making profits while burdening the costs on the general public.
This is what I would call a reverse no true scotsman falacy. You make a general statement ("Socialism doesn't work"), and if someone points out an example where the statement is obviously false, you invent an ad hoc exception ("Norway is a small, relatively homogeneous nation").
Americans would not be the first to make this mistake. When Lise Meitner in 1922 (after habilitating) anounced her first lecture in "cosmic physics", one reporter later wrote that Ms. Leitner would lecture about "cosmetic physics".
But lets say, you are a statistician working with hundreds of datasets and mining them for some interesting data. If you are looking for p 0.05, about every 20th attempt will yield something "significant", even if all datasets are white noise, and you don't use any dataset twice.
Actually, the London specimen of beetle was collected by Charles Darwin himself on his journey with the HMS Beagle. But it was never classified. As far as I know, there are only two known specimen, the one in the London Natural History Museum and the other in a collection in Berlin. It is not known if the beetle still lives in the bay Charles Darwin found him, or if the species has died out since.
It's sufficient that you can prove that the troll somewhere uses your open source software. E.g. if their website runs on Apache, they aren't allowed to sue anyone ever contributing to the Apache project, as they agreed in the license not to sue the contributors.
Hm. But Death Cap is very common in Europe (where it is native), in Asia and in Northern Africa. Wherever you find oaks, you find the Death Cap. Often it gets to their new place with oaks that are grown in Europe (or a place where the Death Cap grows already) and then transported somewhere else to be planted in parks and gardens.
And yes, in Europe, there are also mushrooms that look quite similar to the Death Cap, but are edible, like the Blusher or Saffron Ringless Amanita. So people coming from Europe to California to go mushroom hunting and are messing up a Death Cap with a Blusher would have made the same mistake in Europe.
Ok, so because John Doe was just standing guard while Ben Burglar was breaking in, it's all Ben Burglars fault and just a smear campaign against John Doe?
Actually, "subtropical" is a description of climate, not of place on the map. And from a climate point of view, Sochi is subtropical. Yes, Sochi might lie more north than Buffalo, NY. But still, it's warmer the whole year than Buffalo, NY. Rome is north of New York City. Palermo, Sicily is about as north as Baltimore. But Sicily is definitely subtropical.
Actually, if you can show that the rented object was defective when it was rented, the rental company indeed is liable to repair your VHS player (at least in the legislation I live in).
The European High Court applied the Duck Test on this one, and it found thus: If it is a one term payment and if there is no time limit to the usability, it's a sale, independent on what the contract says, and the First Sale doctrin applies.
If it's a rental, Valve is in some hot water, when it comes to software. Because the owner of the rented item has to keep it in usable shape. Thus Valve would be liable for everything their software causes on their client's systems.
That's not the legal situation within the E.U.. The European High Court has actually ruled that it makes no difference if there is a physical medium or not, a sale is a sale, and the First Sale doctrin applies. Thus, lets wait for the appeal. (The article actually mentions the decision about downloaded software, if you are interested, it's UsedSoft vs. Oracle C-128/11.)
RTP is usually UDP. At least that's what we are configuring. RTP/tcp doesn't make much sense -- in a real time setting, you don't have the time to do much error correction. Either the packet arrives in time, or it doesn't. If you would start buffering VoIP, which you need for real time error correction, you would get strange pauses in your phone calls. SIP is mostly TCP though, at least for WAN connections.
The reason being that those small players aren't interesting enough to design specific net traffic rules for them. And if they grow big enough to appear on the provider's radar, they are so wellknown, it will be noticed if they get throttled.
And why is it called Homo heidelbergensis? Heidelberg (for Americans: Heidelburg) is neither in Africa nor in Spain. (Yes, the first remainings of H. heidelbergensis were found on a graveyard(!) in Heidelberg, Germany).

This is all right and fine, but I was just saying that the NSA can't do anything against an E.U. citizen is plainly wrong (and a little naive).

How do you tell that the hypothesis was first, and the result from the dataset came later, if you read the study?

Ok, but a fully grown parasol mushroom is much larger than any Amanita relative, growing easily up to one feet or more in height.

Michael Behe also thinks Intelligent Design is somehow a scientific theory. I wouldn't give to much on his assesment.
And yes, in Europe, there are also mushrooms that look quite similar to the Death Cap, but are edible, like the Blusher or Saffron Ringless Amanita. So people coming from Europe to California to go mushroom hunting and are messing up a Death Cap with a Blusher would have made the same mistake in Europe.
If it is never tested, it's not even a theory, it's a hypothesis.

I don't doubt that H. heidelbergensis indeed lived in Spain and Africa, but additionally, he lived in Central Europe.
And why is it called Homo heidelbergensis? Heidelberg (for Americans: Heidelburg) is neither in Africa nor in Spain. (Yes, the first remainings of H. heidelbergensis were found on a graveyard(!) in Heidelberg, Germany).
