The court ruling only required them to remove a link to ONE article. Everything beyond that is Google acting on its own not bound by any court rulings.

No they are not. Google is deciding to do things that no law required them to. END OF STORY. Remember there is no new law here, the original case was about a specific Spanish law. Does that spanish law require taking down unrelated UK links? No!!

In common law a ruling by a court is legally binding, just as strongly as a new law. In the rest of the world precendence is only an indication of what a new court case may decide, not something they need to follow or heed.

What law? There is no new law here. Only existing national laws. All that is happening now is that Google has to obey existing national laws that forbid republishing certain facts. So which British law required them to remove the link? Or is it Google that are just making up rules as they go now?

LEDs are dimmable. It is CFLs that are not dimmable. If they don't say dimmable on the package it is because it is redundant, just like they wouldn't say dimmable on an old incandescent bulb.

Mine was a modern LED bulb. At $4.95 I thought it was rather expensive.

German rulings do not apply to Europe or any part of Europe other than Germany.

A German court ruling doesn't even apply to another case in the same German court, nor a Dutch ruling to another Dutch court. None of these countries are common law countries, which means precedence is non-binding. They do however _look_ at other court rulings and look at the arguments and conclusions, which you can do across any curistiction, so in most countries (since only very few are common law like the UK and US), looking at a ruling from another country is not that odd especially when the laws are the same or similar.

It's easily disabled

No it isn't. From mobile it is no longer possible to disable, it just redirects nobeta links to beta, and there is no login to beta, so no way of logging in and enforcing your settings. Yeah it is THAT broken.

They don't. They need to buy something with the money or withdray them. The transfers can easily be undone and the money will return to where they were taken from unless they are fully out of the electronic system.

That and Python is not nearly as fast to use for oneliners. Perl is strongest as a shell replacement for writing powerful scripts, efficient scanning&parsing or a quick hack.

In a court they don't have rules against lying, that is too ill defined; they have rules against intentionally misleading the court. Which is what happened here. Which is pergury.

Now try to say Federal Intelligence Service. In German they drop the spaces between nouns that form a new whole, but you have similar syntax in spoken English, you just put spaces between the nouns when you write them.

This is more about HDMI being a broken standard to me. I just don't like DisplayPort because it's sort of Apple's thing.

It is fortunately only the silly mini-displayport port that is Apple specific. I still have nightmares of trying to buy a displayport cable at a computer store and they send me to the horror that is the Apple section of the store, which was rows and rows of incompatible crap.
