My bet: They will run out of money. I mean it's tax payer's money, so they can't really run out of it. But it will be cancelled before the prototype phase, because it goes horribly overbudget.

In part I attribute it to higher safety standards. Doors act as crash shields for example. Not only have they become thicker over the decades, the higher the body part is the better they can protect the passengers as well. But I also think

Even using the program with a blank document feels sluggish in Windows 10, I'm sorry. Opening the text formatting window takes a few seconds on a one page document (maybe I have too many fonts installed??). There's something serio

The Document Foundation should stop chasing the idea that LibreOffice can be a replacement for MS Office. They will never achieve that goal. Apart from home users and maybe small NGOs, every business and major organization in the entire wor

Yeah, there's something about the kerning that is just a little off. I agree that what happens on the page in the center of the screen has to be 100% perfect for any word processor.

I remember reading that paper back then. This is like a happy ending follow up story to that. :D

Most roofs still have no solar panels on top in Germany. There's plenty of space for that. You don't have to give up as much space as you'd think for renewables. Nuclear on the other hand, good luck fighting those lawsuits ag

Countries should cooperate to phase out fossil and nuclear fuels and instead invest that money into expanding the power grid and into power storage.

Wrong, Germany is burning less and less fossil fuel because of the massive increase of renewables. Germany aims at 100% renewable energy. The government has passed a law to fade out fossil energy and joined an international alliance of coun

Yup, we would never had gotten nuclear power if it wasn't for the massive subsidies from the governments, the electric companies didn't want it. I wonder if Mr. Wang has added those subsidies into the equation.

As a German I didn't realize the bad rep white bread has in Germany originated in Nazi propaganda. But I'm not surprised because a lot of urban myths in Germany do unfortunately. White bread isn't less healthy than any other

I wouldn't say Abendbrot is something only old folks use. It simply implies that your Abendessen involves bread and butter with a topping. When you say you're having Abendbrot you literally mean that you are eating bread, otherwis

It's funny I just thought about this yesterday. "What if my smartphone loses network connectivity. How many apps on it will stop working? 95%? I miss the old days when storing and processing my personal data was done 100% on my ow

And it's behind a paywall. How ironic. How are the masses supposed to get to know the new social media platforms if WSJ keeps it a pay-to-know secret? (Yeah, I know you can read it by cheating.)

What's with all the patients who stop drinking coffee because of cardiovascular problems. Is it accounted for that they may skew the results of some coffee versus none in favor of some coffee? In other words, sick people who are more l
