Actually guns aren't illegal in germany, ownership is simply more controlled.
I agree with your second point even though gun deaths are increasing, that is, more criminals are getting guns into their hands despite the legislation that should be making it much more difficult to privately own a gun. In the USA, I believe the criminals with guns per cop ratio has been dropping lately, whereas here (Germany, would guess the same for the rest of the EU) the trend is an increase to that ratio.
Bad legislation gets bad results. This is pretty shitty legislation which will just lead to another huge sinkhole of already stretched government coffers. And when the government mismanages its finances, they just dip in the deep reserves, which just so happen to be my pockets. Regardless of the analogy that is used, this will end up being expensive legislation which will completely fail in its aims.
To protect a company from its employees? People at work generally start treating IMs between coworkers the same way as internal email. Company information then starts a-flowing over the internet without the employees thinking about it.
Who is speaking for me again? This is not a boycott from the "German Linux Community", it's a boycott by people that don't agree with his political policies. That's ok, but don't use that label.
Schäuble is the minister of the interior, which is exactly the person that should be involved in this (that is, the person holding that position). Sure he's a dick, but he is the minister of the interior. If you don't like his policies, just vote next time.
Overall it's all pretty spot on. I work in Germany and have a couple of Indian and Turkish co-workers, and they don't seem to have any problems as the've integrated to the point where they are more or less German. There is however quite a bit of hostility against immigrants who immigrate and end up not being able to find work for years, which ends up creating artifical barriers to integration. From what I've seen, westerners are just fine with non-westerners coming over and working in their guest country.
'merican. It usually gets between 4.5-5 l/100km at around 150kph on the autobahn. They are really great highway cars. Plus, you can dump vegetable oil straight into the tank without any problems (the bmw tech mentioned that it might be wise to buy a special filter if i plan on running it with svo). Rudolph was on to something with his engine...
I've got an '02 bmw 320d that routinely gets 55mpg+ on the highway. Plenty of power, great mileage, and it's a fairly large comfy car. I have my eyes on the new 335d, which is an awesome combination of power and great mileage. Without a huge change in technology, it would seem that the US could cut down on fuel consumption by switching over to diesel. with the gas prices being what they are, i'm guessing we'll be seeing more diesels in the states soon.
I mean, we all heard about the publicity for the leaked 24 episodes -- if they could do something like that on purpose, along with a coordinated marketing flood on the "traditional" media, they could clean up.
actually the US has one of the highest personal income tax rates for people earning under $100k. Germany for instance only has a tax rate of 15% for everything up to 52k. Corporate taxes in the US are outrageously high. Social security just sucks, and has to be paid regardless of where you are....and even better, after a certain point, your world wide income becomes taxable. To my knowledge, it's the only country that abuses it's citizens in this manner. Time to start dumping tea again...
Now, if it became an ADA issue, how would an employer compensate?
by taking the job and quickly moving it to a country that doesn't have a problem with internet addiction
Uh, Woz pissed away quite a bit of money. He WAS insanely rich. Look at all the engineers that are well loaded. Some from the not so distant past. A couple of guys named Larry and Sergey come to mind...
I think you mean "decrypt". MITM doesn't work here if there if a semi decent mutual authentication mechanism is in place (Certs issued from the CAs in your browser come to mind...).

If it's internal you probably wouldn't be blocking "IM services". Jabber is great and should be required for any company with more than 5 employees.

AMEN
We're a hip crazy cool start up
it's bad enough when people mean it when they write it... it's so much better when it's forced by some guy upstairs.

Fair enough. That's one service that you're stuck with, but surely you have choice in selecting a mobile and calling card provider?
May I suggest trying another provider? When the horse keeps kicking the shit out of you, I'd suggest finding another horse.

I'll see your Texas and raise you California.
If Texas is the icing, then California is the bride and groom candle with teeth marks in it. Florida is the one with waxy teeth.

Do they really? When was the last time that you tried to do anything but use a p2 as a firewall or a samba box?
