Albeit its older ager (it had been composed by Haydn for the Austrian Emperor, the words as used in the 20th century had been written in 1841, and it had been the anthem of the Weimar republic since 1922) the first stanza of the Deutschlandlied indeed was part of the Nazi anthem, and the "Deutschland über alles" was sung with particular fervency.
As you said, the words do mean "Germany above everything", but I fail to see how you can find that alright. Your country above your family? Your love? Your honor? It's an evil concept when taken out of its original context (1848 revolutions, when nationalism was liberal and meant freedom from the German monarchs, and progress) and applied to a modern industrial nation, as the Nazis did (when nationalism became utter hell).
You are wrong in your believe that the words are part of Germany's current national anthem. Due to its mentioned older age, post-war Germany decided to keep the anthem, but not to sing the defiled first stanza. Instead, only the third stanza is sung, "unity and justice and freedom". Freudian slips are frowned upon and for a politician would mean nearly immediate resignation.
"Hooray for Germany" is ok, "Deutschland über alles" not so much.

Well I'm not sure, that's why I was asking. Just saying so doesn't make it true, do you have a source?

...but there is still nothing they can do to stop others re-distributing the "v2 or later" version of the code under GPLv3.
Are you sure that this is the case? It would seem to me that they cannot change the text in the COPYING file, and thus the only thing they can do is distribute as "GPLv2 or later" themselves.
Of course I agree with everything you wrote, but 1) the guy I responded to did not say that but wished death on people for sleeping around without qualifying it further, and 2) shit happens, and 25 years ago it was not a big deal.
But Earths gravity is stronger, and its atmosphere much denser than Mars', so why could they use parachutes on Earth but not on Mars?
As I understand it, deceleration. _Because Earth's atmosphere is denser, it slows the craft much much more before the chutes are even opened. The discussion of speeds on Mars entry seems to revolve around figures such as Mach 4.
I agree, it's a matter of definition. I define these actions as morally right, in my frame of reference, and I consider anyone doing anything else a potential threat to my liberty. On a grander level it is indeed a question of who has won -- did you ever think otherwise, and believe that had the Nazis won, they'd remember the same people as we do today? As for those resistance fighters who attacked German and Austrian civilians, I applaud and thank them for providing my countrymen with the just consequences of their deeds, and their contribution to my luck of not having to be born in a post-war Nazi Europe*. You should read up on what those "innocent" civilians did to their neighbors, or at the very least allowed to happen.
* Just as by the way, I refer to the Allied forces (and bombers of Dresden, as well as my hometown, etc.) as "liberators", and not "occupying powers", as every reasonable person here does.
In fact, many of those groups actually WERE terrorists
Are you insane? So it is "terrorism" now to fight with violence a regime that is bringing blood and suffering over the world and commits a horrific genocide? A resistance fighter and a hero is each and every one of them, nearly regardless of their specific actions.
You didn't look very hard. It's been widely reported (widely enough for someone who actually searches for a solution or asks his Linux distributor) that Fluendo sells some codecs (and DVD player) along with the patent licenses.

is there a way to compare performance metrics with it on and off?/i
Yeah, by comparing performance metrics with it on and off.
normaluser@Machine:~$ man mount
No manual entry for mount
Dude, fix your machine. You can't even boot (or your distro folks are insane).
Because he has had a life before he met her?
Depending on distro, the automounting is probably done with pmount and dbus. You probably need to change/write a dbus rule.
Yeah, as I said, evil.
Your country above your family? Your love? Your honor? It's an evil concept
I've heard that the military in the US espouses "God, country, family" in that order.

Dear AC, not even that is sufficient reason to wish someone suffering and death. Why would you care anyway, you are not involved.
Of course I agree with everything you wrote, but 1) the guy I responded to did not say that but wished death on people for sleeping around without qualifying it further, and 2) shit happens, and 25 years ago it was not a big deal.
Tell that crap to a medical worker who got aids from an accidental needle prick ...
Or, indeed, to someone who got AIDS from having some fun and sleeping around. WTF is wrong with that?
Depends on where you live

Yeah I know, I meant the whole codec pack. But thanks for pointing it out.
don't play stupid.
MP3 is patented, it's been a discussion point for like 5 years. How could you miss that? Buy Fluendo if you care.

You don't get it, whatever. You will when the US has sunk into fascism. Good luck then.
