Hosting services don't usually use dynamic IPs, and also tend to register a top-level domain, so the ruling here is completely irrelevant. Their identity can simply be looked up in the registration record of the domain. Also it's hard to hide your identity and at the same time make money: You must have a way to tell your customers (or advertisers) where to pay money. Your identity can then be revealed by following the money.
Of course the Empire was named "Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation", that is, "Holy Roman Empire of German Nation", which already contains "German Nation", so calling it "Germany" is not completely off (although you are right that a German country in the modern sense didn't exist until 1871).
Well, there's one positive in that ruling: There has to be a judge in the process. So it's not that the media cartels can just go to the ISP and say "we believe there was an illegal upload from that IP address, tell us who had it." They have to convince a judge that their evidence is sufficient.
However you have to admit that the German constitution was made in a situation where a massive violation of human rights had just been done, so everyone was exceptionally well aware of the importance of them. Which is why the human rights are right at the start of the constitution and are specially protected.

"but the latest perk for Googlers extends into the afterlife."
To extend into afterlife, they would have to do something for you after you died. For example, if they sent you a new Android phone each year into paradise (or hell, should you go there), that would be an extension into afterlife.
Truekaiser's meme detector is dead. Netcraft comfirms it.
But on a serious note: I'm not following ReactOS (it's years since I last looked on their web site), but I thought the whole point was to be able to use Windows drivers (and thus having no driver issues at all)?
Well, I guess the patent deal includes backlicensing the patents to Nokia, so they can't be sued for violating the patents they previously used. So now Vringo can sue the competition without Nokia being formally involved. Or in short, I think Vringa now is Nokias SCO.
Ah, but here am I, the new patent insurance provider. You pay me a certain fraction of the revenue for your patents (plus a constant base rate, of course), and I pay for any lawsuits you might need to defend them (please don't read the small print of our contracts, though).

I should have written: No space junk has a working propulsion system, of course.
No space junk has a propulsion system. That's exactly what makes it space junk: You cannot control its orbit.
I prefer if they print the schedule on the bus stop.

A pirate version of torrent? Is there a torrent for this? :-)
But has Netcraft confirmed it?
But then, the refusal itself could be construed as indication that something is wrong with the device, because otherwise, why hide the data?
Whoosh!

Will Windows 8 still boot after you disabled UEFI secure boot?
So we are approaching the year of the ReactOS desktop?
What was the question???
What is the second-worst desktop UI Microsoft ever invented?
Of course, there's no way to change the plate at the same time as the chip.
Of course the car thieves will have no way to just remove that chip on stolen cars ...

Remember, Caffeine doesn't only come from Coffee, tea - oh yes, TEA has caffeine, as well as Jolt Cola
Now we know it: It's the tea party's fault! :-)
I'm pretty sure Putin also knows the command pattern quite well.
I once looked at the source code of Haiku's floppy driver. Nuff said. End of story.
Floppy drives are past.
Therefore the floppy driver
No longer matters.
Double whoosh.
You may want to read the replacement comment I suggested. It does tell you even less than the original one! And I "justified" it with common wisdom!
(Somehow I fear you really thought my code comment was a good one ... in that case, please tell me how to avoid software you've written!)
// adds 1 to i, waits until i is greater than 10 then adds 2 to a.
Now that's a comment!
Didn't they teach you that comments which re-state exactly what the code does is bad? Here's how that comment should look like:
Everyone who wants to know the details can refer to the code. The comment shall not give the what (10) but the why (large enough).
SCNR :-)
