As far as I can tell in Europe you are not allowed to make comparative publicity (or were not allowed until recently). You can tell how surprised I was when i saw the US ad on the war between cola and pepsi.
This is why you can't say "we are better than X", but you can say "we are the greatest on earth !".
Disclaimer : it may be now that comparative publicity is allowed within certain limit, I can't say for sure since I went away 5 years ago.
Quote " Some german Companies fiddle with a techniqe of using routing protocols to block unwanted web content. "
Hate to break it to you, but using the web within a corporate environnement is a perk, not a right. And they CAN , have the RIGHT, to censor what they deem an abuse like looking for porn, gambling, whatever.
As for the other stuff "blocking stormfront", 1) I dislike to break it to you, but some web site are contrary to german law. I see nothing wrong in blocking them. You are american and dislike it ? Tough luck. We dislike some of the US law but can't do sh*t against that and should not even. 2) The biggest provider in germany block none of those stuff. I wonder how much is due to bad configuration. DID those guy not only test the positive result (blocking stormfront) but ALSO the negative result (blocking of web site on the same dns block or beside) ?? Can't seems to find info on that. 3) The people within germany are perfectly agreeing apparently that some stuff needs to be censored. Racism site/book. And so on. There are specific law on that (try to go in a german city and make a conference about "negationism"... Good luck on your prison time).
Bref, IMO, no news here. Instead of mounting the US-lens and seeing everything through your world, wake up and realise that other countries have other law, other culture, and other history. The PEOPLE of those country should decide if they agreee with their governement practice not the US citizen.
I mean, some people went rampage for less than that. I hope the RIAA & co have good security,because pushing people on the verge of a "cracking down", in a country where gun are easy to come by, might push someday somebody into commiting massacre (and thus killing the innocent guy working there). And No I am not joking. Push people hard enough against a wall and they sometimes "explode".
Far from me to compare IP law to what did the nazi during WW2, but : quote " You have a legal system that says so, and those laws are there for a good reason. Get over it."
It was a crime to protect Jew during WW2 and could lead to your deportation and execution in the best case, and in the worst case they took your family with you. So you would have respected those law ? Remmember, that the gorvernement make a law doesn't make it a freaking stone-slab-graved-god-own's-word. .
You have what you call a moral responsability yourself to think and not follow laws blealately (sorry can't remmember the spelling). And right now the IP law in all country are going too far. As other US law and "acts" but since I am not an US I let you deal with your own muck yourself.
IP law interrest me right now because they are going too far and breaking the balance with what the GOVERNEMENT should have in sight : PUBLIC trust and correctly handling the citizen. Intellectual property is only an ARTIFICIAL stuff made by the governement to encourage research in many form in their countries. When this artifical construct stamped on the public well being for the profit of few then there is something deeply wronmg with the system.
I mean one could said that rightist have the tendance to be money grubbing bastard, green doom-sayer, and moderate show-stopper muddying all issue. Come on , people, ueber-generalisation like that are not making the debat advancxe a bit. This is not "argumentation or fact" this is "prejudice".
If the ressource necessary to make an entry are sooo high that no independent can make it thru, then how is this different than forbidding effectively by law to have them belong to the big five ?
As I said many time here, Censor, oppression and control do no need to be at a point of a weapon. There are far more subtil method , especially if you hold the media channels... Tsk.
Or a lack of enthusiasm on the part of other country ? Remmember the space run was lost by US, depending on how you define it (first to go in space, Russian definition, or first on moon, US definition after they lost the "first in space by satellite and men" race, or first not to care at all, because it doesn't change jack to their hunting/gathering : world definition). In that case speaking of triumph is a bit... Exagerated. But good technological feats, yes I agree. In other word, to speaks of race and triumph in this case is *PURELY* ideological politics.
Before you starts the France bashing, as far as i cant ell, the LEGAL definition of a cult is having a congregation of X member , and a church is above X member. Thus Moon and scientology started as a cult, but ended by sheer number as being considered legally as the Moon church and Scientology Church. (Church being considered a definition here , not a type of building). I can't recall what X is, but it is somewhere between 1K people and 10K people.
... but power and the thirst after power. Money is only an easy way we found to have an "absolute & relative" measure for that power. By nature human is "greedy", to acumulate enough ressource for its descendant, and there is never enough. Bottom line, if it wasn't money it would be something else. But by nature this is this exchange of power which makes up the relationship between people, and not the form it takes.
I cannot speak for the US , so you may be right, or may not. But around here we can copy on other media/make backup copy as of a performance long as this is for personal private usage.
I visited 3 different big university and 2 of them had a 15-25% foreigner rate. And as far as i could tell the other university my countries and in germany has did have a similar rate. And I can guarantee you that due to the system being paid by everybody (oh the hooror of socialism:):) ), we did not have to pay 26 K-$ for an excellent college education. So yes, there are other way. Just becauise you do not want to consider them doesn't mean they do not exist anyway.
Actually we *are* using a compiled on our mainframe without ansi support (an version older than Fortran 77) and we do not have VI. The system is *far* from being dead, (it is actually used by a lot of airline). It is real time and robust. Does it make it more dead because there is no vi ? Frankly I would laugh , except that sometimes I wish there was a vi instead of a command line editor...
U.S.-based attacks triggered nearly half (49%) of all the events in
the 4th quarter. The U.S.-based events were not included in this
study because they constituted such a large portion of the dataset and
because the main focus of the study was on socioeconomic, political,
and geographic patterns in the data. In order to better understand
and predict the sources and nature of future attacks, data was col-
lected and parsed for non-U.S. originating events.
In other word, if you want to stop piracy and hacking, shut down the most [cyber]terrorist country : ther U.S.
Frankly how a farmer can loose against a company because possible natural effect brought seed from a field onto his own ?
AFAIK in france if one of your plant leave seed/fruit/whatever on the neighbourgh field, you loose all right on those which become the other people propriety.
Most windows user would be unable to udnerstand the concept of permission or execution level. PS: I am a pure windows user and only installed Linux one time to see what people here were speaking about. I was rebuted by the amount of stuff to learn and dewcided to wait 10 more years before trying again.
...I wished the other's car had such things. I was on bicycle, came from his right on a prioritary road, he had a stop, and he swore he braked when he saw me , but I only saw him swerve to try to pass anyway and there was no "braking" sound. Such a gadget would have put him back in place and forced him to pay my health care (skin and flesh ripped on my right leg, rib cage a bit bent, left hand ripped bleeding like hell and still not usable 100% 5 years after). He got off "lightly" with some point off his licence, instead of a big minus or a cancel since he andangered my life by not braking. A black box would have maybe proved it.
Actualy in EU this function like that

I can't cite the exact paragraph but a piece of the law says that "everybody has a right of checking and rectification for every database he is written in. Be it COMMERCIAL or GOVERNEMENTAL".
AFAIk, this is exactly why the EU protested against the APIS/CAPS program. Because this would violate this fundemmental law (data would go in the US govt without right of rectification in case of error and would stay there for an unknown time).
I mean how is "Joe", some guy somewhere else than in the US, will care about what the FTC will do ? The FTC have no legal power on server outside the US, as long as the server are in compliance with local law. For those server the only way to go is black listing, and it doesn't seem to be that great a threat...
What happen if you use it on an auto at 100mph on the quick road ? (yeah autoroute but I dunno how they call it). What happen if you use it on somebody with a peacemaker ? Did even the guy putting the to-do kit up think of that ?
Well apparently it has already badly started... No to throw stone at ther US but it looks like more a conquest than a liberation war from outside. And seeing the protest it looks the same from inside.

It is a writing (or a writ) given by a lawyer to somebody. I think you call it "cease and decist" letters.
At least around my home. Not that I would buy any :).
