  1. Re:Wanna read something scary? on EU Claims Internet Could Fall Apart Next Month · · Score: 1

    I guess that's why the UN authority that manages phone country code prefixes has removed the one for Israel and Taiwan, right?

  2. Re:Why? We care! on ESA Cryosat Launch Reported Failure · · Score: 1

    How is an editorial in a newspaper the official position of the german government?

  3. Re:Well you know on Finland Adopts New Copyright Legislation · · Score: 1

    Wrong, the problem is that the national governemnts have leeway in applying the EU directive into local law. Of course your national government can make penalties harsher than the minimum specified in the EU directive.

  4. Re:I'm still waiting on Peru Passes Free Software Law · · Score: 1

    You are missing the difference between Free as in Free Beer and Free as in Free Speech.
    This law is about the second one, not the first one.

  5. Re:The choice of degree matters less than attitude on Computer Science Curriculum in College · · Score: 1

    IF you had taken a theory of languages course in a respectable BSCS program, you would know that the first two are functional program languages while the latter is a logic programming language.
    My teacher in our computer science class in 12th grade here in Germany taught us that.

    Blame english not being my native language :-)

    We are also the number one exporter in the world

    No you're not. That's Germany.

  9. Re:Away from tech on Richard Stallman on EU Software Patents · · Score: 1

    How is it undemocratic if the ministers of the democratically elected governments of the countries that compose the EU decide something?

  10. Re:What N-word? on EU Domain Registries & ICANN · · Score: 1

    The Bundesverfassungsgericht (equivalent to the Surpreme Court, roundabout) decides that. And it has worked fine for the last 56 years and will continue to work in the future.

  11. Re:"interestign abotu Russia" on Update on the Optimus Keyboard · · Score: 1

    There are non-english QWERTY layouts with 105 keys. And it's not logical-layout independent. For example, the german 105 key keyboard has 11 keys in the lowest row (above the spacebar), this optimus board has 12 keys there. The german keyboard has 3 keys to the right of the 'l' key, the optimus keyboard has 4 there. The german keyboard has the enter key on the 2nd and 3rd row, not on the 4th and 5th. Etc.

  12. Re:What N-word? on EU Domain Registries & ICANN · · Score: 1

    Saying 'Nazi' is a whole different thing than 'Volksverhetzung', which an online dictionary translates as 'incitement of the people'. And yes, not every speech is free here, and it's good that way.

  13. Re:"interestign abotu Russia" on Update on the Optimus Keyboard · · Score: 1

    It's not exactly layout independent. For non US-QWERTY keyboards, quite often the physical number of keys and the arrangement of them is different, too Most european keyboards have 105 keys, not 104.

  14. Re:What N-word? on EU Domain Registries & ICANN · · Score: 1

    You can say Nazi all you want in Germany. You can even go around the street screaming it at the top of your lungs for a few hours, I guess people will only look weird at you.

  15. Re:It's not that easy... on First look at new Battlestar Galactica Episodes · · Score: 1

    German pay tv shows current US series about a week or two after they air in the US.

  16. Re:Human physics on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 4, Informative

    AFAIR, the battle takes place in the upper atmosphere, not in space.

  17. Re:Learn thy geography on Microsoft Accepts Most EU Demands, But Not Over Source · · Score: 1

    Because there exists a certain difference between a state and a sovereign country.

  18. Re:Rebates are in fact deceptive advertising on Best Buy to Eliminate Rebates · · Score: 1

    Customers absolutely do notice a VAT increase, it's all over the press when it happens.

  19. Re:commodities on Followup on MS and Brazil in NY Times · · Score: 1

    I live in a world where electricity is not dirt cheap. And collecting emails and downloading american TV with bittorrent works just fine during the day, as does updating with apt.

  20. Re:commodities on Followup on MS and Brazil in NY Times · · Score: 1

    Why do your computers run 24/7?
    It's not like you use it when you sleep. And what about your electricity bills?

  21. Re:Napoleonic Code on French News Agency Sues Google News · · Score: 1

    I live in Germany. And yes, if the cops ask, you must present it, but you may go home to get it.
    And you don't need to register where you live with the police, but with the city government.
    Simply put, you are incorrect.

    E.g. people in Continental Europe need to carry ID papers with them when in public.
    Wrong, at least in Germany.

    Try reading the GPL. You only have to give the sourcecode to the persons using the software.

    That's the plan for the future.

  25. Re:Wait...what?? on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, you are just being stupid. This is not about Firefox or Thunderbird at all, but about the old Mozilla Suite, codenamed Seamonkey, that includes a browser, a mail/news client, a IRC client, a HTML composer and a kitchen sink. The Mozilla Foundation won't be making any new releases of this application suite, but some volunteers are going to do just that.
