That is not a problem at all. If you commercialise it in the first country, you have to work the legal details out with the first company, as soon as you operate in the other country, you have to work them out with the second company. And if you buy it in the first country and go to the second country it is not a problem either. The doctrine of 'depletion' applies in such a case so you won't violate a copyright.
They are quite different indeed. However, they have more in common with each other than with the civil law judicial systems. No matter the differences, stating that the basis is completely different is a bit overdone.
On the contrary. Quite bit of Europe is considered as a part of the French-Roman civil law tradition, while most of the rest, with the exception of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, are considered as a part of the German-Romand civil law tradition. Scotland is unique in itself, it is partly common law, partly roman law which applies. You have other mixtures, like The Netherlands which is a mix of German-Roman and French-Roman Law. Belgium is firmly rooted in the French-Roman civil tradition for example. Not that these distinctions matter that much, since intellectual property is one of the fields where most systems are converging.
As you were referring already to the international framework, it is not much different outside the USA. I can only speak for Europe, but the differences are quite nuanced, especially in copyright law. The fair use doctrine in copyright law for example is a typical common law concept, and does not always have a counterpart in civil law systems. Most of the differences are in areas like whether you can still exert a copyright law were trademark law or design law apply as well.
I am using the same amp and speakers for my soundcard as for my cd-player. Only the cable between my soundcard and my amp is much longer and not as thick as the one between the cd-player and the amplifier.
Well, the principle you are referring to is not as basic as you think. There are quite a few jurisdictions where C would become the legitimate owner of the car if he could be expected that B was not the owner of the car. For example, if he bought the car at an auction for a price which is within a reasonable range of the car's market value.
Not really being an audiophile I beg to differ. I got some tracks from the Lola Rennt film throught Napster, remembering that I enjoyed the soundtrack as much as the film. They sounded allright on my Aureal Vortex 2 soundcard and the cheapest model Rotel amplifier. Nonetheless, when I bought the CD, the difference was noticable. And we are talking about 192 Kbs MP3's. The clarity of CD's is far superior to MP3's.
Which reminds me of that coffeeshop on the Nieuwe Binnenweg in Rotterdam which offered 25 guilders worth of gear to those who set their pinball machine's high score.

I know about the German efforts to synthesize petrol from coal, the South Africans did the same thing during the Apartheid regime when they were hit by an oil boycott. However, the original comment was about coal dust, which was plainly wrong.

Since when did the Germans have ramjets fueled by coal dust in WW II? AFAIK they used pulse jets fueled by ordinary petrol for the V1 and some even more exotic projects.
I utterly fail to understand how you got a score 2 on your posting. The question was about Objective C, which is quite a different beast than C# and has been around for quite a few years. Actually, the whole GnuStep project is centered around this language.
Actually, getting addicted to alcohol or nicotine is easier than getting addicted to heroin or cocaine. The problem with heroin is that it only appeals to people who are in trouble already and who are on the lookout for an opportunity to escape for a moment. Heroine gets you way to hammered to become appealing as a recreational drug, like alcohol. With four glasses of wine a day you are actually not that far away from the threshold for becoming an addict. It takes six glasses on a daily base for roughly a week or two to become physically dependent.
For your spelling information, it is "van de Graaf". I still fail to understand why English speaking people are completely unable to remember the spelling of non-English names like the rest of the world does.
You are ignoring the international consequences of spam. I have had tons of spam advertising schemes to cut down on my long distance calling rates. All this was sent to an adress in the.nl top level domain. Like if I care about American long distance rates. A licensed spammer still would be able to do this.
Actually, in the BeNeLux countries selling counterfeit Microsoft shirts would infringe both their copyright and their trademark. On the other hand, under the 'exhaustion' doctrine the sale of a legitimate shirt wouldn't violate either of them. Just nitpicking.
European smartcards indeed have CPU's and memory on them. However, none of them is powerful enough to become a modular pocket internet appliance. In fact, until recently it was impossible to have a RSA implementation on a smartcard because they lacked the processor power.
Well, you are correct in stating that Dresden was reduced to a pile of smoking rubble in WW II. But the Spitfire propfighter had nothing to do. Actually, the Spitfire lacked the operating range to get even halfway to Dresden from England. As far as I am aware there was no military airplane named 'Thunderbird' to play a significant role in WW II.
As far as producing the diagrams, you might consider Dia, although I am the first to admit this is not really project management software and does not pretend to be. It aims to become the Visio of the Unix world.
You are perfectly right in correcting that posting. Ironically enough, Baden Powell is widely credited for inventing the concentration camp. He must have been a great source of inspiration for der Adolf.

The English model is not prevalent around Europe. I utterly fail to understand how people got this impression.

Has it ever occured to you that there are jurisdictions outside the US?

Well, the Kursk was not a boomer. It is a missile sub, but nothing ballistic was on board.

(b) Is incorrect. Powerplants with combined heat and power generation reach efficiencies well above 90%. Even on coal. Economies of scale and stuff.

Really hard Sci-Fi. Weird stuff. Although the literary quality is nowhere near, say a Iain Banks or Gibson, the Sci part of it is impressive.
Does anyone know about more Sci-Fi novels written by this man?
