It depends, in many cafes and pubs in Germany they will not bother as long as you don't block a place in a crowded place without consuming some beverage or food.
In many places you will find free WiFi or payd hotspots from the Telekom or another provider in the vicinity.

Be aware, that there is the rule, that the cheaper a hotel is, the better is the chance to get free internet access.

A good way to connect is to get an O2 mobile account. You can get it with a one Month termination term and at least in all greater cities the access is more than ok (HDSPA+). (Use the phone as WiFi-Router).

I'm a former german "Unteroffizier" from the signal corps, equivalent 1st Sergeant in the US Army. After having finished my service and entered the reserve status, I got a security assessment from the german MAD, something like US Army Intelligence.

Among other more or less silly questions, two oft them stuck out:

"Are you or have you been member of the KPD (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands)?

      - well this party had been outlawed and didn't exist since when I was the age of 2 (1956)
"Have you been meber of the "Nationalkomitee Freies Deutschland"?
      - well this was an organisation founded by german officers and german communist emigrants in the Soviet Union in 1943. It was dominated by the communist members, but by far not all members were communists, especially not the officers up to the most prominent "Generalfeldmarschall Paulus".
              What ridiculed the question, well this organisation was dissolved before even the "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" had been founded in 1949, remember I was born 1954.

I rightout served the questionnaire to the trashcan and have never got a request later.

BTW: this happened in 1992 AFAIR.

but fits in very well here: Legal - illegal - scheissegal or short in english: Illegal? So what?

Those who live by the sword will die by the sword!

The argument, to bear a gun because the constitution grants the right to do so is the fallacy. This is no logical reason.
If you had said, that you feel endangered and want to be able to protect yourself or you want to hunt game, that would be reasons.

To have received a right is no reason to execute it.

You are infringing on the copyright of author and composer unless you have got written consent from current holder of the rights.

He must be forced to support her with all his posession and income until his end of life just because of the harm he did to her. And he must be banned from any service as justice, paralegal or lawyer. He must learn how to make living by his own hands.

You may consider moving to the European Union, the patenting of software as such is prohibited here. It is only allowed as part of a technical application. The famous mention of doing something by means of a general purpose computer is not sufficiant to get a patent, it must be for instance the special GPS Equipment, the program used to drive it cannot be patented but only the entire technology of the gadget as long as it is novel and not obvious.

Does this judge wants to buy a Galaxy phone with Android 3.3 ;-)

Anyhow, this is great news!

I see it the other way around: There are plenty of good programming environments which are perfectly well suited for beginners, name a programming langage and you will find rather a well suited IDE for any one LINUX distribution than for Windows.

QBasic is not a choice, even on Win$.

Just my 2 ct

[...] Enter East Germany's Wunderland Kalkar — an incredible adaptive reuse project that transformed a never-used nuclear reactor into an amusement park!
[...]

Kalkar is a little city on the shores of the lower Rhine, some Kilometres away from the Netherlands border. This is definitely not Eastern Germany but only a few Kilometres away from the westernmost point of Germany!

The authors of the original article should pay a little more attention when writing such a crap.

Plainly bullshit, humans are omnivores and meat and eggs and milk are essential for our health, but at the same time vegetables are also.

Wouldn't NASA and the american taxpayer better off talking to Arianespace and trying tp develop something in cooperation with them? Arianespace has a lot of knowledge in development procedures and technology which I think NASA was forced to scrap for political reasons.

There were a lot of advanced and promising technologies almost ready which NASA and the US industry dumped because your congress did cut the money when the device was almost ready.

These could be utilised in such a joint venture.

Could you please specify of which "Paradise" you are talking?

Thats not empty talk, because the declaration shows strong opposition of the EP against ACTA and there is a good chance that ACTA will not be ratified unless there will be severe alterations made to the substance.
