Germany had this for some years. The fee is almost the same as in Sweden. I feel ripped off by this, its a remainder of a time when TV-Broadcasting was still so expensive that only public founded institutions could provide it. These ages ar

I know people who have worked with the Intel 48-Core SCC (Single-Chip Cloud Computer). While I don't remember technical details it was very hard for them to build software that actually benefits from that many cores. If I remember correctly

Well because of anti money laundering laws they still need an ID-check before they can open the account. The good news is that germany started issuing ID-cards with RFID, that can be loaded with a certificate, that will enable you to digita

I dont know if its common in the anywhere else but in my town here in germany the stealing of bike-PARTS has become very popular. I guess the owners of high-value bikes use better locks, that are actually hard to break ( like those: http:/

Well I think this question keeps many companies (not only startups) from moving into the US-market. Everyone is afraid, that one lawsuit can financially destroy the whole company. In Germany for example there are insurances, that will cover

It amazes me everytime, that in the US day-to-day banking still consists mostly of writing, sending and cashing cheques. In germany (I dont know about the rest of Europe, but I guess the situation is similar), cheques are virtually non exis

Cables and switching infrastructure weight a lot. mSata SSDs weight as less as 7g. So the total weight of the SSDs is 1778g. I guess you can save more then 2kgs when you buy lower capacity switches and share some cables. I also think that t

If you want to avoid that do a UG & co. KG. Costs a bit more, since it technically is two companies but you dont have to build up the capital and you are also exempt from "Körperschaftssteuer"-tax.

I think the regal battle started on german soil since the company, that oracle was trying keep from selling the used licenses, was a german one. The case got quite some media attention over here, even the radio-news mentioned it.
