boilerplate in Europe. I just want to stress that the EU is not nearly the model of freedom of speech that America is. After all, America is the only western country with an explicit constitution stating such.
Artikel 5 in the German "Grundgesetz für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland".
Article 40.6.1 in the "Constitution of Ireland" (i.e. of the Republic of Ireland). Ok, this one's a stinker, but still it's there.
100 in "Kongeriget Norges Grundlov", Norway. Prohibits any form of censorship or other preventive measures against free speech, exept for a silly "think of the children" blurp limited to motion pictures.
77 in "Danmarks Riges Grundlov", Denmark. Prohibits any form of censorship or other preventive measures against free speech. No exceptions.
Warning! As you know from back home, there's a difference between what we write in our constitutions, and what "they" manage to get away with.
No, that is wrong. The court interpret the law, and therefore partly define it.
The EU law says that the rights of copyright owners should be protected as long as it's not a privacy issue or way too unpractical (which would clearly allow file-sharing). But the Danish court read the law wrong. It has happened before, just look at the constitution that said that all men were equal, but children, slaves and women were obviously not "men".
Funny you should mention constitutions since ours (I'm a Dane) in no uncertain term prohibits censorship or other preventive measures on speech.
So, in principle, while you can still go to jail for shouting 'Fire' in a crowded theater in Copenhagen, no-one has a right to try to stop you!
"processors with more than eight cores, possible as soon as 2010 -- will transform the world of personal computing"
Exactly what areas of "personal computing" are requiring this horsepower?
AI. And if you don't see the need for personal AI you can sleep on the couch.
"As for the specific problem of being born with an expensive genetic issue, I think there is a way to leverage insurance here as well: the parents can take out an insurance policy on the child prior to conception, based on their own genetic risk factors."
Before I had children I seriously considered getting me and my wife checked for genetic defects. It was ~$1000 back then for a meaningful check and with no know risk factors we just let it slide.
Today, it would be much cheaper. So when you decide to make another person, will you first check your odds of giving them a... challenge, like this?
Anyway, your premium on the children's genetic coverage will depend on your and your spouse's tests. And the fine print, of course "void if illegitimate."
| "yes, I know, there is no real anonymity on the Internet, but what is stopping ill-intentioned guys from faking names? (Good people do not want to lie, they'd rather go AC)."
What's stopping well intentioned guys from assuming names? I use my real name, but does it make a difference, does it even make it easier to find out who I am?
What if I used a pseudonym (like for instance: 'Mutton-consuming man') would I be lying then?
Indeed, here in Denmark the police asked for (and got) similar legislation, because they thought some cartoons were made by applying 'filters and stuff' to actual photographs.
We already suspect that Tyranosurids had feathers, and, hey, it caught yor attention.
In other words: There is nothing in TFA about feathers on the crest.
There's a picture of the animal with a feathered tail! (Remember artists never lie and never invent missing pieces)
Slashdot Mirror
It would help if (more of) the peer reviewed media was accessible to the public.
Somebody has to pay, though.
If this is caused by Castro, then Castro rules Latin America in its entirety.
And we can hardly handle Afghanistan and Iraq as it is.

You don't, it would be too silly
And then you post as "Extrans (html tags to text)".
I have two things to say to you: http://peach.blender.org/ and http://apricot.blender.org/.
Make of them what you will.
Tele2 is my isp, and I have no problems connecting to http://thepiratebay.org/ using their dns.
Not yet, anyway

Would they go through childbirth more then once if they did learn?
Ever heard of justice, guys?
That's where you let serious people weigh the evidence before letting the axe fall.
If you have to do something write 'Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Representative Lamar Smith (R-Tex.)' and tell them how you feel.
They can at least use your engagement to positive ends.
It is in the main not legal for private entities to set up surveillance of areas with public traffic in Denmark.
The banks recently got a change pushed through, though. http://147.29.40.91/_LINK_0/0&ACCN/A20050078829 2.2
And, of course, using DRM is why they are lumped with the bad guys?
Far more suited, yes. But also far more difficult.
When you use a 3d animation package you can make much better animations than machinima, but not as easily.
You would essentially be forced to learn animation

Note: sections 202a and 202b are both about gaining access to data meant for somebody else.

Don't be too sad, though. The way this went is this:
British TV-celeb claims Lego helped him recover after accident =>
Lego receives far more orders than they can fill =>
loss!
I wouldn't mind a few losses of that kind, myself.
From TFA: "Robots are information media, especially humanoid robots. Their main role in our future is to interact naturally with people."
put in an "also" and replace "Their main role" with "One of their roles". Now you've got an almost certain truth.
A good story teller can out compete the tv anytime.
A robot is already better than a sign (but also (much) more expensive.)
A robot can lie as well as it can tell the truth, (most) humans can't.
P.S. What does a wife cost in China these days?
IANAL, but I think that:
Here in Denmark they will have to pay everyones expenses, even the Courts, if and only if the Court rules that the suit was baseless.
I have mod points, but I just don't know what to mod you down as.
Personal?
I really think you are going too close with those links.
This website is maintained by the Commission.
They say broadband, mentioning VoIP and television.
Name something that doesn't!
You should also be concerned about employees accessing from other nations.
If your employee goes on a vacation in X-land and accesses his work account from there can local X-land police get to you?
Can Homeland Security?
If you need to answer these questions before using a service my guess is that yuo don't really need it that bad.
