  1. Re:A phone that doesn't suck? on Google Working on a Mobile Phone? · · Score: 1

    Is there a phone that is just a phone? Designed to have a respectable life span for the phone itself and the battery? A phone that isn't also a camera, PDA, and now web surfing device. Just a phone.

    sure

  3. Re:And like Americans and frogs on No Passport For Britons Refusing Mass Surveillance · · Score: 1

    sure it was possible. but it wasn't done because there was a need for a difference between the evil communist countries and the jolly good western countries.

  4. Re:FUD on Management 'Scared' by Open Source · · Score: 1

    the problem is the lack of loyalty.
    because the management stopped to see the developers as humans long ago (they are not humans but resources now) the developers have stopped to be loyal and just don't care. this whole situation has caused more and more stupid policies.

    in a companies, where managers are still loyal to developers and vice versa, such policies aren't needed because the developers can decide by themselves about the libraries they use.

    you forget that those evil capitalist entities, which fund linux development, directly profit from it. they aren't charities, you know.

  10. sadly not in germany on Canada Rejects Anti-Terror Laws · · Score: 1

    here the anti-terror laws become stricter and stricter because our minister of the interior is a fascist. and not only the federal minister of the interior is one, also ministers of the interior of all the german federal states increase the police mandates with the new police laws.

    life here starts to suck. i would move to finland but the language is just too difficult (still have nightmares from learning estonian, which is more or less simplified finnish with some german influences).

  13. Re:9/11 caused net stoppage on Bird Flu Pandemic Could Choke the Net · · Score: 1

    exactly why should i have cared? it happened far away and there were much bigger losses of lives before and after that.
    the only downside for me was that security checks in airports have begun to suck really much.

    i was at my friends on that day, websurfing at the time, everything was fine. then the daughter of that friend came up and said that some airplane crashed into the wtc.

    i just shrugged and went on websurfing. nothing was slower than usual at all.

    to be honest, i doubt that this is the case.
    can a legal person in usa marry or become a citizen and vote?

  17. Re:Corporate personhood... on EU Bans Sock-Puppet Blogs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    sorry but you are wrong. legal persons exist eu-wide, and it is even distinguished between legal persons of public law (the state itself, its municipalities, public universities etc) and legal persons of private law (private charities, corporations etc).

    in germany there even exist so a called quasi-legal person. it is a business partnership (kommanditengesellschaft, offene handelsgesellschaft) which is not a real legal person but still meets a definition of a person (a person is defined as bearer of rights and obligations).

  18. Re:Corporate personhood... on EU Bans Sock-Puppet Blogs · · Score: 1

    in germany, corporations are "juristische personen", which is the equivalent of a "legal person". it is no problem though to difference between legal and natural persons. legal persons have less rights than natural persons anyway. it is even possible to make different laws for different types of legal persons, so i don't see why everyone should lose rights.

    please name a couple of them, i am always interested in new tea grades.

    anyway, i have tasted quite a lot (about 30) different chinese teas, they had pretty low caffeine content and were alltogether not as good as japanese ones - suppose it has something to do with chinese roasting their green teas and japanese steaming them.
