If there is spectrum available, and if licensed spectrum users are not harmed in their rights, and if there is a bona fide reason for running an experiment, then an experimental license can be granted, with limitations on transmission power and duration. The fee will be cost based, unlike the commercial GSM licenses, which were auctioned.
Wow, finally a sensible statement is being made! Why doesn't anyone congratulate Germany for choosing the least privacy-harming option? The directive allows a retention period between 6 months and 24 months. Already the Netherlands opted for 18. Germany's 6 months is the best possible.
And no, the law does not allow for the retention of email headers. Headers are considered "content of communication", and retention of content is strictly forbidden. It's the sender's address and recipients' addresses from the SMTP envelope that are retained.
They are ignored. UDP or TCP have nothing to do with this. Connections are not tracked and retained. The new law allows retention of the IP address(es) allocated to you. If you're on a DSL-connection, or connect through a cable modem, you only receive an IP address when you switch on the router. Which is once every other month, in many cases. Or once a day, if you switch off your router at night.
Sorry, but you would *still* need central DNS servers to point out at what addresses the national DNS servers can be found. It's not about the dot-com or dot-net, it's about the dot, the root zone.

MacOS using the system keychain? I wish it were true. But it isn't. See bug 106400 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106400].

Apart from the kernel itself, you mean?
- samba, for filesharing with Windows computers. Quite essential.
- printing, with cups.
- apache and php, for web serving.
- postfix, your email MTA.
- lots and lots of Gnu software (just about all lower-level software development tools are Gnu).
On the Server version of OS X there will be many more.I think that if you removed all open source software from OS X and rebooted, your machine would not make it to the login display.
