I
know that many in the US can trace their ancestry back to the Puritans etc but
sometimes the laws relating to Beer etc are clearly an 'ass'.
In this case
those agents should be sent back to school to learn the difference between booze
and water.
When I lived in the US I had to remember which state I was in (MA
or NH) because of the vary different laws. Even with a full head of Grey hair, I
would be 'carded' regularly. One incident with a BAT agent almost got me
arrested because he refused to accept that my UK passport was a valid form of
identity.(I'd just returned to the US from a trip to Brazil).
My
neighbours were also astonished that I would expose my children to seeing adults
drink 'booze'. When I told them that we'd taken the children around a distillery
in Scotland where they'd had a small taste of Scotch, they almost called child
protection services. The fact that the kids to their credit all said 'we hate
the stuff' probably saved the day.

Oh dear,
according to german law there is a main suspect named
Keith Alexander, born dec 2nd 1951 in Syracuse, New York for
illegally tapping millions od data from german citizens, for
eavesdropping german politicians being charged for
"data espionage" (three years in prison),
"interception of data" (two years in prison) - and maybe
"Intelligence agents activity" (ten years in prison).
-> StGB ยงยง 99, 202a, 202b
In a nutshell, these laws were established during the cold
war and are 'strict'. Ironically german courts might be
forced to apply them on allies?!?
Nevertheless I wouldn't bet a penny for the extradition of
Mr Alexander to germany if he would be found guilty...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"...moving away from web-based search
engines..."
In their dreams. Aren't all search engines
web-based?
A crappy OS, with an 'integrated' crappy search engine,
and everything you do funnels through Microsoft. What's not to
like?
As for Apple, I have some advice:
"He that lieth
down with dogs shall rise up with fleas."
Seriously, other than guilt
be association, I don't see Apple losing a lot if this fails. In fact, I wonder
what the deal is. Does MS pay them, or is there a backroom agreement?
