That requirement for a court order is greatly diminished by Art. 30: Verfahren bei Dringlichkeit. It establishes that the federal intelligence service can tap wires without court orders in urgent cases. And let's be honest here, if tap

I really despise this new news cycle, where random conspiracy blogs stumble upon a rudimentary and minor policy change, take it out of context, put their alarmist, sensationalist spin on it, spread it through their blog networks and faceboo

I think it's clear to everybody here that you can integrate any type of functionality into emacs. But if most new programmers prefer browsers, then that's what they are going to use... Maybe they just prefer building tools on top

Possibly. I get the notion that there are very different understandings about what constitutes morality.

Banning prostitution is one of those silly policy mistakes that politicians around the globe have committed regularly in the past. There should be no place for morality in any modern legal framework. However prostitution still lacks a reaso

The only scenario where I can see this failing is when snow covered lane markings have been temporarily redrawn, eg. for nearby construction sites. Then you have to hope for accurately placed road markers. But that would be a similar challe
