   Nobody is paying for BBC Worldwide (at least to view this article, apart from advertisement). So why not show it to UK citizens? It wouldn't take anything away from BBC or BBC Worldwide. Maybe some more clicks on advertisements from pe

   I think the problem might have been that the middle of the trailer is not at ground level but at some hight where the lidar data is ignored or not there.

   Thanks for the reply. I just thought that 32gb ram and linux is an odd choice for a gaming (only) machine. But the do-it-yourself side of it is something I can relate to :)

   I think it is necessary for some fields to have autocomplete="off" for PCI compliance (login/password field if I remember correctly). So this creates the interesting situation where I should set autocomplete to something else

   I'm german, so it probably depends on the nationality of the visitor or maybe even the destination airport (I landed in Atlanta). But there was no discussion or anything, just "put your finger on this scanner, thanks, next finger

    Just a small remark: If you're visiting the USA your fingerprints get taken every time (at least thats my experience). So that part of the story (an american complaining that their fingerprints got taken in the UK) is kind of skewed pe

    IANAL but I doubt that it was completely legal. See this case for an example of a non-google news aggregator pre "Leistungsschutzrecht": http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/start-up-offline-verlage-...

    No, germany really doesn't have fair use. Which is a golden opportunity for some lawyers to make some cash.

    You're right. In germany there is a law called "Leistungsschutzrecht" that makes it illegal to publish snippets of news stories of the big publishing houses especially in search results such as google news. After some months

    So now I finally know who made that awful smart compose thing in gmail [1] (the one that hides all but 2 lines of the message that you're trying to write, most of the time): Maria what have you done ?!!! [1] https://bar.foo&

    If "two of them" are the maximum then I would go with "pair".

    You can read my comment history for exact numbers. But for SSD storage it's not very good. Better than amazon EC2 though (t2 instance).

    I made a habit out of measuring the disk performance of cloud servers, so here it is: ubuntu@instantcloud:~$ dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync

    So? Google is visiting a website to check if it's doing something with it's ads that is not allowed. And it's using an ip address that is not "officially" googles (to avoid being served a different version of the co

    I think the high reply rate is due to this phrase in the new mail: "I will call you in the next 30 minutes or do you want to do this over email?" If I wouldn't want anybody to call me, I would probably reply.

    Maybe I did something wrong with the setup but the disks (type gp2) are really slow compared with linode and digitalocean: ubuntu@aws:~$ dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync 1024+0 records in 1024+0 re

    For me it's the fact that my android phone notifies me about a new chat 5-10 minutes after I finished(!) the conversation on my desktop (gmail, webclient). It's really annoying. My phone beeps, I think: "Oh a new chat",
