1) Your government realizes that they don't have a say in the matter. Don't forget the Lissabon treaty is not really a treaty. Germany is no longer a sovereign state.
2) By letting the EU do something "for the people" rather than doing it themselves they improve the image of the EU with the naive citizens. Good cop/bad cop standard story.
ANY EU based firm.. which then funnels its profits elsewhere. Also to "produce" something in EU means what exactly? Assemble the final product? Solder the motherboards? A EU assembled phone with an EU produced CPU can't use Korean memory- and American graphics chips? The basic chemicals used must all come from Germany and be based on Norwegian oil? How far do you want to take this and to what effect?
IMHO that's just her way of waking everybody up and making it clear this boat is changing its course. With time, I'm sure people will be working remotely once again.
Something is subpar when it doesn't live up to expectations. Some degree of side-effects is actually expected, within limits that wouldn't change a vaccine is subpar or not.
It really depends on the situation. Being Germany it's possible that all the average worker needs is SAPGUI, which doesn't really differently on Linux than it does on Windows.
This kind of "help" occurs all the time though. I'm forced to buy health insurance in my own country, even though foreign plans would cover me just as well at a lower cost. I'm forced to pay for my retirement fund even though I've already provided for my days as a senior through other investments. Hell, I'm forced to fasten my goddamn seatbelt! Not that I wouldn't use it, but I certainly haven't been given any choice in the matter!
How is this not a real attack to begin with? Just because they cooperate in the medical business doesn't mean they have the right to penetrate each others IT systems.
At Hong Kong airport they never complain about my bottle of water. When flying to US they'll have a second check at the gate where they remove bottles from your hand luggage but to other destinations they simply don't seem to care.
The shoes aren't checked for flight into the US. Checking flights within and from the US doesn't really do anything to prevent a future shoe bomber. It doesn't seem like theater, it IS theater.
Of couse. My point was that the chances of having a nasty experience during your few minutes at the border are much slimmer than having a nasty experience inside the actual country.
Try Schiphol, Amsterdam. I found leaving Amsterdam much more tedious than leaving Dallas (both recent flights.) Same silly body scanners and security procedures but in Dallas I didn't have to wait and staff was reasonably friendly while in Amsterdam the lines were long and staff arrogant. They actually called a little girl stupid for forgetting to remove her water bottle.
More to the point: how can you know the TSA is so horrible if you didn't go there for a decade? I don't want to defend the TSA, I'm sure incidents happen and some airports in the US suck, but I get the feeling most people at many airports experience no real issues.
Finally, I do totally agree with regards to Asian airports. People still treat you like the well paying customer that you are instead of cattle that needs processing. Very refreshing.
I did travel to the USA last year and experienced no unfriendliness by TSA officers. Near the end of my trip my visa was extended without hassle so I could complete medical treatment after I had an emergency hospital visit. I was quite impressed and pleased with the US authorities really.
Regardless, do you really make a trip decision based on the few minutes of interaction you may have with the border authorities? I've been traveling extensively the last 7 years and most problems I encounter occur once I'm inside the country, not at the border. I'd rather have someone ask me the purpose of my visit and send me on my way than deal with hotel staff about a broken airco or having to return a rental because they gave me a car where one of the tires needs inflating every 3 days.
That's always the case when a corporation needs to pay. Simply because the corporation itself cannot be arrested. It may be easier for the CEO to be identified with the company than a low-level IT guy but I don't feel it's that black and white. The CEO is usually not the sole person in power and the low-level IT could have chosen to resign when he learned his company was breaking laws in his beloved Paris.
Exactly. This is much like putting a lock on your bike. Most locks are cut quite easily, yet not having a lock in a world of mostly locked bikes puts you at considerable higher risk than applying even the most simple lock.

What laptop? Maybe he's storing stuff on a server in Iceland, or even back in the US. Who knows.
He must mean the rights of Saudi MEN. I don't think the women there had any to begin with.
Two simple reasons for that:
1) Your government realizes that they don't have a say in the matter. Don't forget the Lissabon treaty is not really a treaty. Germany is no longer a sovereign state.
2) By letting the EU do something "for the people" rather than doing it themselves they improve the image of the EU with the naive citizens. Good cop/bad cop standard story.

Can it grow? Sure. Can it grow significantly? Sure! Can it be the next Facebook/Google? Maybe.. doubtful.
Function doesn't make money per se. Shiny often does.
Asking around, most people in my corner of the world seem to like the new interface.

Sure it may, but why think that without evidence. Do you see any correlation between vaccines and anti-biotics that we don't?

That's bothering you because you didn't have your loonie shot. Now, THAT's loonie!

(If this were true) it's about priorities. Sure they would want Anonymous to look strong, but certainly not stronger than Israel.

During my trips through Amsterdam I got a blow job more often than not. What's your point? Were authorities involved in removing your shoes?
The shoes aren't checked for flight into the US. Checking flights within and from the US doesn't really do anything to prevent a future shoe bomber. It doesn't seem like theater, it IS theater.

Please do tell us why. Was your decision based on stories you read in news papers? Experiences of friends and colleagues? A personal experience?

Did they indeed ignore it? I was assuming manufacturing is part of their power needs. Do you have a link showing it's excluded?
