Small addition: the UrhG mentioned is the Urheberrechtsgesetz. Translated to English you would call it the "Law of rights of the originator". It is not just about "the right to make copies".

Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.

Written by Linus Torvalds on Sunday, 25 August, 1991 in comp.os.minix

I find the german answers [1] surprisingly reasonable.

High Five for the final answer:

> 11. Are there other issues that you would like to raise in relation to encryption and the possible approach to these issues? Please share any relevant national experience or considerations arising from your practice that need to be taken into account.

> Yes. A regulation to prohibit or to weaken encryption for telecommunication and digital services has to be ruled out, in order to protect privacy and business secrets.

Go Germany!

Re:LastPass autofill exploit on Wednesday July 27, 2016 @05:58AM (#12171600)
If I read this article correctly, the headline should actually be: How I made LastPass give me all MY passwords

Update: after a few answers to my badly thought through comment, I now feel enlightened. The attack scenario is a malicious web site which can gobble up my passwords. Thanks
