So, if the purpose of the antivirus-software is gathering information to phone home, without the users knowledge (explicit and informed consent), those tvs would be illegal to be sold in the EU due to the GDPR (privacy laws).
Why use toilet paper at all? Many folks (e.g. the Turks) don't know about toilet paper - they use their left hand to clean up. That's also why the left hand is considered "dirty", and only the right one is used for handshaking.
Construction of the plant in Datteln started in 2007. In 2010 Germany decided to increase the amount of renewable energy to 80% till 2050, and for that goal the coal plants had to be gradually decomissioned. No new coal plants were build or planned since then. For the one plant "under construction", the owner Uniper had to fight a lot to be allowed to finish it. But it's not yet clear, if it will ever be finished.
Interesting: that article mentions the coal plant Datteln: in Datteln 3 blocks were already shutoff in 2014. Construction of the fourth block began in 2007 but was haltet by court in 2013. Since then block 4 in Datteln is the only coal-plant "under construction" in whole western Europe! Uniper (the owner of the plant) is fighting to complete it, and maybe will be able to complete that plant - but it will be the only one. Meanwhile Uniper shut off other plants in Shamrock (2013), Knepper (2014), Veltheim (2015) and Irsching (2016). New plants are not in sight!
Germany exports more energy, than it imports. In 2018 the difference was about 50 Terawatthours.
In 2018 Germany exported a total of 70 TWh (mainly to the Netherlands: 19 TWh), while France exported about 68 TWh (in near equal parts to all neighbouring countries, 15 TWh to Spain)
You may repeat that another thousand times - but it' not true.
Germany already had two days, where energy was totally renewable: in the morning of 1. January 2018 (a day full of wind with low energy demand) and from 13 to 15 o'clock on 1. May 2018 (a sunny day with lots of solar and wind-power). in those hours the full demand in Germany was totally covered by eco-friendly power. On average renewables cover about 40% of the demand.
What Germany has to do now, is to invest in supply lines, as most offshore windfarms are in the north, and lines from north to south are often saturated. Coal- and nuclear-free ist definately doable in a few years.
One reason many prefer Drupal is that it is multilingual, while most other CMS are not. Multilinguality is a feature needed by many european administrations. (I do not use Drupal, but I know the problems Joomla or Wordpress have with mutilingual plugins)
I wrote a small search engine in 1996 - it's still alive, but counts only about 120 visitors a day. I would have a lot more visitors (and earnings through advertising), if it was the default SE on Android phones. Thus I also demand 9 billion US$ from Google - where can I collect?
Exactly: the GDPR requires privacy by default. The "I don't wanna be tracked"-button should not be less visible than the "You may spy on me"-button. And if no button gets pressed, the default has to be "I don't wanna be tracked".
I've got (name)@(surname).com should I brag about it? I own the domain (surname).com, so all of my family-member have simple e-mail adresses - even the newborns will have! Or should I brag about my 2-letter nick here on/. ?;-)
I'm from Italy. Our government is paralyzed. Same in other EU-countries: our presidents pull the tail in the face of the overwhelming power of the United States. When Angela Merkel discovered that the US intelligence was eavesdropping her mobile phone, all she had to say was "that's not polite".
Those few state presidents, that do/did have the balls to object to the US supremacy and its economic interests are not living in peace: see Saddam, Gaddhafi, Assad, Putin,...
The problem is, that it's the other way round. US companies don't care to pay taxes in Europe. In Italy for example AirBNB should pay a 20% tax on bookings made through its portal since June 2017, but AirBNB responded: "no we don't pay taxes in Italy - we're a US company". But AirBNB doesn't even disclose who got bookings, so the taxing authority has no means to collect the taxes directly at the hosts. Italy is toothless. Same in France: there AirBNB even offered the hosts a foreign credit-card, so they can collect the money without a bank-account and evade taxes. In my opinion, companies that don't respect local laws should be outlawed, and portals like AirBNB obscured in whole of EU.
Slashdot Mirror
Add Italy to the list.
Without atmosphere, there's no rain.
And without rain, how can rivers be fuill of water for billions of years?!?

Are you dislexic? I'm sorry for you.

So, don't spread fake news!

I thought the same. This isn't real scientific research, if it doesn't use international, metric standards.
By 10 trillion, you mean 10^13 aka 10 billion in the rest (=non-us-english) of the world, right?!?
Exactly: I fear being slasdotted. All I seek is revenue, not downtime.

Welcome Europes privacy law! The rest of the world should follow.
In Germany there's a saying. shooting sparrows with cannon balls.
It may work, but it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

I'm shocked to read, that 99% of us-americans have broken jaws. I'm so sorry for you.

Thanks to the european law about protection of personal data.

Where's the "official" DGPR's page? Please give me a link and show me the section that confirms your allegation.
The EU-law protects EU-citizens privacy. If you are from the US and don't do business with EU-citizens you're not affected.
