If we are going to be pedantic, then „Führer” means someone who leads, whereas „Leiter” is more close to the English term ‘leader’. ‘Leader’ and „Leiter” share the same etymology, „Führer” does not. The same difference is present in Danis

Strange your list seems to be lacking DejaVu Mono. Just never came about it? Not that I dislike your final choice of Fira Mono. But I always thought DejaVu Mono was the best monospaced typeface out there for years.

This is the government we are talking about. They visit websites outside the Great Firewall. So they need a modern browser.

I am confused. I use DuckDuckGo's Jabber/XMPP service (dukgo.com), and I can easily talk to Google Accounts through Bitlbee, even if they are using Pidgin, GMail's chat interface or whatever. The only obstetrical I have enco

I am surprised to learn that arbitration clauses are legal in contracts with consumers. Arbitration is legal in Denmark, but only between businesses or - in few cases - private citizens who agree to them, but they can never be part of a co

Speaking of which, is it appropriate to us 'an' in front of 'hysterically'? Yes I do, because YOU are such an hysterically funny person. Did you notice how I used "an" there properly? ~ Josh Lyman,

The UK map is 1:50, so it cannot really contain buildings. The Danish map is 1:1.

The creator points out they only initially intend to restore Copenhagen. As the data they have are stored in 10×10 km blocks, this should be fairly trivial to do. I think the real reason they have been hesitant with doing that is because i

Let me summarise the case for you: PBS (Pengeinstitutternes Betalingsservice) was created in the 1980s by the Danish banks and the National Bank, originally to facilitate the Danish national credit card, Dankort. Eventually PBS also took c

Yes. The website is unfortunately incredibly shitty. It is unfortunately also the original publication of the letter. Thank you for this alternative.

Well, in SeaMonkey (another Mozilla suite), when you type in the address bar (there is no search bar), there is always the suggestion to search for what you are typing at the bottom of the suggestions. But it does not provide you with sugg

Indeed. I love seeing Mozilla true to their mission. By separating them, the user knows where their input is going at all times. Only Firefox gets to see what you are typing in your address bar. Moreover, I love you can click ctrl+k in

I won't presume that their arguments are completely air tight in regards to its educational usage. But I'd argue that exploring Denmark from a more close up view (than a map) is more appealing to school children. Google's S

The intent of this data release is to help children explore Denmark in a virtual environment in class. This is to help Danish children at least to better grasp Danish geography.

Is it 1:1? It doesn't appear 1:1, given how tiny the A/B-roads are. I am just curious, there are not a lot of screenshots (or information on the scale in fact).

Translation: The Geodata Agency's data is now free, and we have inserted them into Minecraft. That means that the whole of Denmark proper is now available as a virtual world in 1:1 in Minecraft itself, so you can fre

I am not entirely convinced that unicode has been retrofitted elegantly into Delphi. A lot of legacy functions using string (read: what is now AnsiString) have been modified to still support string; so AnsiPos() for instance takes string

Well, even the Hovercards under Beta features also require a user account. And of course, there is the downside of now only having it enabled on the English Wikipedia. What about the German or French Wikipedia? What about Wiktionary? Oh

Gee. So they will just add a plug adapter? They won't actually make a Dart with an E-plug? That sort of ruins the thing for me, particularly considering a plug adapter plus a power adapter in a wall outlet is asking for all sorts of

It doesn't support \p{} either for matching Unicode classes. e.g. \p{Lu} matches uppercase letters (so also Æ and Ö counts).

Not Firefox, however. I assume it treats it as special characters, despite their appearance are clearly similar to the regular Latin characters they represent. I assume Mozilla has a reason for this choice.
