  1. Re:This exemplifies a distubring trend on Google Maps Shows Chinese Nuclear Sub Prototype · · Score: 1

    That has nothing to do with Google Earth, everyone has been able to buy those exact satellite pictures for quite some time before Google Earth was there. The minimum price for a QuickBird picture is 4352$, which will get you imagery of 272 km.

  2. No, it does not on Does GPL v3 Alienate Developers? · · Score: 1

    I'm one of the maintainers of a GPL project,
    and GPLv3 certainly does not alienate me.
    In fact, I'll encourage switching to GPLv3 once it's ready,
    which really should not be a problem, considering that we
    currently license our project under GPL2 or later.

  3. Re:How quickly they forget on WizKids Sues Wizards of the Coast over Game Patent · · Score: 1

    Little companies? WizKids is owned by Topps.

  4. Re:Morality Plays on Germans Pursuing Kiddie Porn In Second Life · · Score: 1

    Age of consent in Germany is 16, not 18.

  5. Re:Morality Plays on Germans Pursuing Kiddie Porn In Second Life · · Score: 1

    Under-age sex above the age of 16 is not illegal in Germany.

  6. Re:I'm not surprised... on Europe's Galileo Program In Serious Trouble · · Score: 1

    Growth in Germany is not stagnant. It may have been until about a year and a half ago, but not anymore.

  7. Re:It's marketing on Why Are T1 Lines Still Expensive? · · Score: 1

    ISDN is like 1 or 2 euros more per month, and you get three phone numbers and two lines for that extra euro. It is widely popular, especially because it took quite a while for broadband to get more popular, so lots of people now have ISDN because they wanted to be online and be able to use the phone at the same time a few years ago.

  8. Re:Running Herd4 on AMD 64 on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Beta Released · · Score: 1

    The open-source flash-decoder swfdec supports YouTube since the latest release.

  9. Re:Cue the music on US Group Wants Canada Blacklisted Over Piracy · · Score: 1

    You can't argue that a company that is being traded on NYSE is mostly owned by US investment houses, there are lots of companies that are traded on several different stock exchanges.

  10. Re:your country is fucked on Fighting Porn Vs. Ruining Innocent Lives · · Score: 1

    If you're talking about Germany, you're flat-out wrong.
    You can say pretty much anything about WWII and the Nazis, you just can't deny the holocaust happened.

  11. Re:quake on The Unfriendly Side of German Game Development · · Score: 1

    It didn't get outlawed, shops were just not allowed to advertise it and sell it to minors. Big difference there.

  12. Re:Another Obliatory.. on The Unfriendly Side of German Game Development · · Score: 3, Informative

    Haha, very funny, the only thing that's wrong is that you're wrong. Try 'flauschig'.

  13. Re:punicode? on ICANN Under Pressure Over Non-Latin Characters · · Score: 1

    AFAIK it's used already for domain names to contain non-ascii characters.

  14. Re:Holy Shit! on Sun Open Sources Java Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Playing Megamek.

  15. Re:Shouldn't it have been LGPL? on Sun Open Sources Java Under GPL · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not a restriction, the one accepting the license gets more rights than from pure GPL.

  16. Re:404 Anyone got a working link for that video? on Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling · · Score: 1

    It's http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-mee tings/2006/debconf6/theora-small/2006-05-14/tower/ O penSolaris_Java_and_Debian-Simon_Phipps__Alvaro_Lo pez_Ortega.ogg

  17. Re:Not healthy... on Microsoft Softens Up On Competition · · Score: 1

    Looks like you didn't have any Economics classes in College, otherwise you'd know that a Monopoly is bad for an economy, and that's the reason why leveraging a monopoly in one market to gain an advantage in another market is forbidden.

  18. Re:Europe vs The US on Why Aren't Powergrids Underground? · · Score: 1

    European Union != Europe.

  19. Re:tainted kernel on Kororaa Accused of Violating GPL · · Score: 1

    If you want to write software using 3D stuff from post-1995 you NEED nVidia/ATI binary drivers, because the other ones are useless.

    Except that the open source drivers work just fine for the Radeon 8500, which is not only post-1995, put post-2001.

  20. Re:Amerika on New Congressional Bill Makes DMCA Look Tame · · Score: 1

    Whereas some countries, like Germany, have come with a wise proposition to only include the most essential rights in the constitution, the government of Finland wants to hear none of it.
    Uh, not quite. The german parliament has ratified the constitution.

  21. Re:Huh? on The Debian System Explained · · Score: 1

    What does scalability have to do with speed of releases?
    What does robustness have to do with how many people do the security updates?

  22. Re:American companies tremble in fear of the Dutch on Dutch Court Orders Lycos to Reveal Client · · Score: 1

    A foreign court can certainly tell a US company what to do, when that company is conducting business in that foreign country.

  23. Re:Low Flush *wastes* water, Oil based don't work on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 2, Informative

    The no-flush urinals we have in the department of Geography at the University in Cologne don't smell at all.

  24. Re:on the java side on GCC 4.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Uh? The compiled-to-machine-code-using-GCJ Eclipse is a lot faster than the normal bytecode version.

  25. Re:What ID is actually about on Using Copyrights To Fight Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    American Catholic Christians != Catholic Christians in general. Try asking that question in Europe.
