Just because the Catholic Church has been taken some stupid, incorrect positions in some fields of science doesn't mean they don't care about the sciences in general.

Did nobody tell you that the GDR (German Democratic Republic, 'East Germany') ceased to exist 25 years ago?
The BND is the intelligence service of the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany, 'West Germany').
He is on British soil. Britain, like most (all?) countries in the world, doesn't consider embassy buildings to be the soil of the embassy's sending country.
I guess it's true: You learn something new every day.
I stand corrected.
So.. you're from Ecuador?
Because, as I'm sure you're aware, Mr. Assange is not on British soil.
Maybe its time for the United States to go after a few EU companies doing business in our country. We can
certainly use the same principle of - we don't like the way you do business. Forget the law.
Except there are laws that Intel, Microsoft and (potentially) Google have broken.
And what people like you love to ignore (or, more probably, don't know, as it doesn't involve Americans): The EU judges European companies by the same standard. A few years back Gaz du France and German E.On where found to break anti-competition laws and had to pay high fines. And there are many other cases not involving American companies.
The problem is NOT that the EU is going against American companies, but that American companies sometimes don't understand that in Europe they have to play by European laws, not by the lawlessness that's the American reality.
Actually, that's not what they say. The write (quote) 'As a result, DNT will not be the default state in Windows Express Settings moving forward'.
Windows Express Settings is used by IE; sure. But it may also be used to set up Spartan.
Ah, yes, the good ol' they-do-it-so-we-have-to.
Totally ignoring the facts that you have to start somewhere, that it is best to start where you have at lease some chance at success (as slim as it may be in reality), and that this suit will likely not stop the NSA from spying outside of America so they will only lose the 'surveillance arms race' of spying on Americans.
The issue with FDE in Android has for long been the lack of combining strong passwords with a pattern lock or pin lock for unlocking the screen. In other words, your encryption key is only as strong as the pin code or password you are willing to put in every time you open your screen lock. Who wants to type in a 20+ password every time they open their screen lock?
Are you sure?
For my Android phone I activated FDE. On boot I have to enter the FDE password, which is independent from the lock screen password/pattern/face unlock.
So on boot I enter the complex password once, and later I use the less complex pattern to unlock my running phone.
My phone is Running Android 4.4.4 (Cyanogen CM11S).
The Linux distros would have done a lot better if they were codenamed after an animal, without the stupid adjective. Lucid Lynx - crap name. Lynx - acceptable name suitable to interest PHBs.
So... Ubuntu is now 'the Linux distros'?
Those names are typical for Ubuntu and its derivatives, other distributions like Debian, Fedora and SuSE use different naming schemes.
Disclaimer: I'm a mostly satisfied Ubuntu user.
Two things:
First, this is about Vivaldi, not Opera. Vivaldi is a different company, just founded by the former founder of Opera.
Second, Opera is a Norwegian company. They have offices in the US, amongst other countries.
Maybe you got confused by Opera buying Australian company Fastmail.FM.
Talk to Microsoft about that.
No need. Microsoft and the GP agree that it does matter where the data is STORED.
As an example, in the USA, the ground floor counts, while in Europe only the floors/stories above ground floor count.
You have differentiate between numbering (naming) the floors and counting the numbers of floors in a building.
A five storey building is a five storey building, but some number the floors from floor 1 to floor 5, others count ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor...
Also, not all of Europe is the same. Here in Germany we have both variants, depending on region and design of the buildings.
You don't have free phones in the USA, either.
You are just paying in installments rather than up front, and chances are you paying more in the end than if you bought the phone separately.
Neither does Googles Android.
RTFA, the culprit is a replacement app developed by a third party.
This sudden attempt by Google supporters to shift the responsibility is the lamest fucking excuse I've ever seen. Microsoft has supported XP FAR longer than Google has supported...
The argument against Google here is that Android 4.3 is still widely used.Wenn, so is Windows XP.
If you claim that Google has to look for the user base you have to hold Microsoft to the same standard.
To save a single life is better than to build a seven story pagoda.
