It should tell you something when mearly going to a website and viewing something can make you a criminal. It's not like torrenting where you can argue that by downloading, you're also uploading to others; they just went to a site and pressed play.
German courts kann tell the difference. No joking, that's what happened.
How is that different from hosting a web forum where anyone can post content.
If I post illegal content here, should Slashdot become liable because it "accepted the contribution and started spreading the [content] itsself"? Shouldn't Slashdot stop spreading "just anyone's" content "without verification"?
Even worse, Slashdot allows posting as "Anyonymous Coward", and thereby facilitates such abuse.
I don't think that being able to upgrade really matters. In fact, even if you can upgrade, you will soon run into barriers.
I've upgraded my 2007 MacBook Pro to a 500 GB SSD and 6 GB RAM. The CPU and GPU or everything else can't be upgraded.
So where is a Retina MacBook Pro worse with respect to upgradeability? The SSD can also be swapped - and it's probably much easier than swapping the SSD on a 2007 MacBook Pro, which has the disk deep inside. Well, the RAM cannot be upgraded on the new model... but wait, I can't go beyond 6 GB on the old one, either (actually, it's already above the official 4GB limit). So if I order a Retina MacBook Pro with the maximum RAM, it does not make a difference at the end of the day.
That indicates to me that the US rules are in effect for the US, even if the work was copyrighted outside the US.
"Copyrighted outside the US" is nonsense. That's not how copyright law works. In fact, every work is copyrighted in every country according to the laws of that country. Even if a work was created in the UK, it is copyrightet under UK law, US law
Thus, if the doctor becomes PD in the UK, that only means that it is PD with respect to uses (such as copying) performed in the UK. If it's not PD in the US at the same time, then you infringe on US copyright laws if you do the same in the US.
"Negotiate" is a loose term - really it's just some fixed resistances across the data pins that set USB charging mode. This can be built into the plug without any extra copper in the cable.
For dump power supplies, it's "just some fixed resistances" between data pins. That's a shortcut for chargers that don't want to implement the USB protocol.
Computers, however, do use the data lines for the intended purpose. With computers, the amount of power that can be drawn is negotiated between the computer and the devices.
Wrong, UK Motorways have a lower death rate.

Seriously, two seconds on google.
Please don't disturbe his religious beliefs with facts.
A culture where people follow rules religiously helps. You won't find a German jaywalking. You won't even find a German crossing the road in the middle of the night when no one is around if at the crosswalk the man is red.
Are you trying to be funny?
I was passing a huge truck that was driving slowly on a two-lane road. I was executing a proper high-speed pass on the other side of the road. In order to pass the truck going 50 in a 70 zone, I needed to drive faster than him. The faster I drive, the less time I spend in on-coming traffic on the wrong side of the road. I needed to drive 90 to pass the very long truck in under two miles. But my car refused to go more than 70. So it took me four miles pass him.
If you can't savely overtake without exceeding the speed limit, you must not.
That is the perfect example of an ad hominem attack. Point out why their research is flawed,
He did:
Like all nuclear spin stories, it assumes that no nuclear accidents happen. Count in chernobyl and Fukusima and you get a different story,
Actually...
Fukushima is a fairly large province in which the nuclear power plants are located. The larger part of the province - including the city of Fukushima - has not been evacuated.
No no no, you don't understand. That 100% rate just proves how good and trustworthy the whole secret system is!
There is actually some truth in that statement.
A 100% (or near 100%) rate can have two reasons:
Actually, its "several millions" in Germany alone. The worldwide estimate is more like half a billion, according to this Golem.de article (in German).
That does not help if you don't log out. In this case, the stolen cookie remains valid until the thief lets it expire by no longer using it.
The only way to make this attack impossible is to provide the user with an overview of all valid cookies and an option to log out some or all of them. As an alternative (or better: in addition), all remembered logins should expire after a reasonable time (e.g. a month) on the server side and without an option to renew them without entering the password.
.local is used in mDNS (also known as Zeroconf or Bonjour).
.localhost, however, is reserved in RFC 2606.
My browser shouts English to the world, so why do they ignore that?
Why limit the language to a country? Look at the language of the browser and use that. If that is not available, use other methods. I do not care what the majority speaks. I do not even care what I speak. I care what I WANT to speak.
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE even gives you the order in which I prefer to see my sites. So if a site is not available in English, it should show it in respectively Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Default.
Even Accept-Language does not really help:
