I dunno about German, but I have the understanding that the government cannot collect a so-called 'tax' with the intent of giving it to a corporation as a royalty payment or some such.
There's no communicating with the hardware. The scanner plugs into the keyboard port and ouputs characters just as if they were typed at a keyboard. There is no communicating there, that's done on the level of the motherboard.
The solution to such actions is a boycott of CueCat, and companies that are in league with it.

I've already sent mine to them.
The battle doesn't just have to happen in the courts, it can also happen at their profit margins. Remember to tell as many people as you can to also boycott Radio Shack. Geeks made em, geeks can unmake them.
You'd think that once someone gives an item away, or sells it for that matter, that you are free to do with it as you wish. There's gotta be something that covers this.
Just more BS from lawyers. The feds sure as hell handed them a huge plate to eat from with recent legislation.
It's not a matter of free advertisements. Apple has hardware out there that they'd prefer to sell NOW rather than watch it sit on the shelf while people wait for the hardware with the specs that were leaked. It's not a matter of 'secrecy' or any other such crap, it's a matter of money.

Even then she makes the concious decision to take a chance and drink from the punch bowl. It's unfortunate that there are those in the radical feminist camp that would cry that if a woman has one drink that she cannot consent to sex. Such outlooks consider women as nothing more than children, and is more oppressive than the 'patriarchy' that they supposedly stand against.
You drink from the punch bowl, you take your chances. You leave a drink unattended and drink it afterward, you take your chances. Safety begins with that person, not those around her/him. To give the illusion otherwise is to completely ignore the individuals responsibility.
The sheer quantityu of alcohol available doesn't make it the #1 drug in just about any statistical category. It's the sheer stupidity of people that use alcohol to excess that make it the #1 drug in just about any statistical category.

OH, I see that wanting to protect jobs for Americans within America from encroachment by outsiders is now racist. Well, excuse the term, but... bullshit.
AS for Americans being lazy compared to people from other countries, that's also so much bullshit. Excuse me for not working a 90 hour work week because I want a life outside of the job. Sure, workers from other countries may seem harder working, but they either must work the demanded hours or get their H1B yanked and they go back to India, Pakistan, China, or wherever. I dunno about you buddy, but if I deal with a tech at another company I ALWAYS ask for a non-H1B visa holder. There are plenty of Americans in America to do the job without using imports.
"Bacteria has survive in the lens of some of the first cameras dropped in the moon. "
Absolutely. The fact that bacteria can exist in space has already been determined. This whole experiment has been just so much crap. It's another example of 'science welfare' (grants or government spending on research that has no real application or has already been determined), and NASA is the biggest welfare program for scientists on the face of the planet. These people need to get educated in something else, or learn how to say "do you want fries with that?"

Geeks don't need to 'rise up'. They need to lock down, shut down, and walk out. Right now at this very moment the biggest threst to geeks (at least in the United States) is the lie that there aren't enough geeks here so H1B visa's are issued to bring cheap geeks in from other countries to supposedly take up the slack. There's no slack to take other than jobs away from geeks that are citizens. The so-called 'IT shortage' isn't about a geek shortage. It's about money. If any industry needed a union it's the IT industry. (no, I'm not pro-union, but I do recognize that unions are usefull in the early era of any new, and yes IT is new, industry)

If they bought it outside the country, then tried to bring it in, the tax would be assessed at the border. I presume that Canada does this with CDr's.
Ya, try telling the Feds that. The Income Tax was ony ratified by two states, yet it's still the law of the land.

You speak as if your one of their company shills.
If ya don't read the EULA, you can't read that last line so it doesn't matter.

Well, yes, there are downsides to everything.
Oh, c'mon Stef. Admit it, it's funny.
I look forward to seeing Excel crash Linux, any other running app, and itself on yet another operating system! Hooray for Microsoft! Bill's da man!
There's a government grant hiding in there somewhere.
Time is a perception, not a physical property. We choose to measure our perception with clocks both analog and digital, and call it 'time'.

Look like Linux will get that 'killer app' that will bring the unwashed masses to it's doorstep.

It pays to cooperate with police officers on minor items that are no more than transitory.
Oooooo, look at all the pretty pictures! Oooooooo
