I have this hunch that they don't censor foreigners. Taht way those foreigners don't get a bad impression of the country and it's not like they don't have "evil" information in their heads already.
You don't need to pop up, torpedoes can be fired without surfacing and you'll probably eat a few yourself if you blow your cover before opening fire. Firing the missiles would be just to cause more damage before they kill you but if all you need to do is a surgical strike on the carrier you only need the torps. I think subs without missile tubes are a bit cheaper too and you'd lose the thing anyway.
Do you know what it would cost to employ, train and equip 170 million soldiers? 1000$ is probably a fairly lowball figure if you were to outfit them all as infantry and you'd already spend 170 billion dollars just on equipment. Be generous and assume an average salary of 50$ a month. 8.5 billion dollars per month. And that's if you use them as cannon fodder. If you want proper promotions the salarieas increase, if you want tanks, planes and transports you're looking at another few hundred billion.
Unless the entire Chinese economy would be geared and taxed for war that 170M army would turn out to be little more than cannonfodder for any serious army and almost immobile as the supply lines and transports are insufficient to keep such an army moving. Would be impossible to acquire enough food and supplies just from the conquests, if your supply lines get interrupted your 170M men are going to starve. You're better off using fewer people and more advanced equipment.
I believe some groups have filed antitrust complaints in order to force Apple to make iTunes support available to everyone (of course for a reasonable fee) instead of using it to sell their own hardware.
Probably because the StaSi didn't have any of that fancy technical or legal support and still managed it far better than any western secret service? The most effective monitoring is by people and the StaSi had craploads of people everywhere, random civilians that weren't suspicious to anyone until the dissidents suddently found themselves betrayed by the man they thought was their best friend.
According to the Tagesschau website the data stored is your connection to the ISP, not what you do on the internet itself. It can only be accessed if a court permits it and it's about a "crime of severe gravity or committed using telecommunication" (secret services are exempt). Supposedly it's to find other evildoers after one acts so when a suicide bomber explodes they get his data and check who he had business with. Not sure if this permits retrieval of information in copyright infringement cases but if it's made to follow the intentions it should not permit retrieval before there is proof that the subject did it.
I just respond to that with "so when will the Reichstag burn again?"
Though I guess with the number of muslims around and the private media doing their best to instill paranoia it's easy to sell people an "anti-terror" package they don't need. Maybe I should start a business of anti-terrorist rocks...
In the EU, public does not automatically mean fair game. You can take a photo in public but if there's anyone on it and you're posting it publicly you're violating that person's rights. Any personally identifiable data is subject to data protection laws, the post office is not allowed to announce publicly who sent a letter where even though that data is written on the envelopes. I doubt the office is even allowed to store the data about sent letters once they no longer need it for accounting purposes (unless the data is to be stored for anti-terror crap but even then noone else is allowed to touch the data).
What about UDP packets? Do ISPs have to track every single one of them or are they ignored? Better make sure they have to record every single update packet my online games cause just so dem terrists cannot hide their communications in UDP!

However, selling a car without a parking brake is illegal.
Also, Germany had Leopard in 1965 and is up to Leopard 2A6 by now.
Do you think we build the latest x86 CPU into a car?
Then we'll mount TOWs on police cars.
I wish the RIAA would go after those people who play a song so loud the whole neighbourhood hears it.
Geeks watch sports for a sufficiently unconventional definition of sport.

I think the Wii would gag more on the CPU load, Supreme Commander is much worse for the CPU than the GPU.
In short: You're doing it WRNG!
On the New Hampshire auto license plates reads one of my favorite sayings: Live Free, or Die. This man would rather capitulate, and is therefore lost.
Given the choice of living in slavery or death, which do you think most people would choose? Do you really expect people to say "yes, kill me please"?
Someone who takes that saying serious would have to commit suicide before going to jail.
We don't really need any TLD besides the country specific ones and one type of international TLD.
I don't think it's too severe, that's up to 250000 cases he's guilty of.
So those are the only countries with significant technological development? False dichtomy is really popular on Slashdot, Socrates would be proud.
Conspiracy to murder is a crime. If only doing the murder yourself is a crime then Hitler was completely in the clear.
And the US vetos the .xxx TLD.
Which other phones have iTunes?

because right now there is no quantum computer with enough RAM to handle even a 2048bit key?
