I don't think you understood what you were buying. The Pico has no relation to the rest if the RPi product line. It is basically an Arduino on steroids. It cannot run cron jobs. It has no network stack, kernel or operating system, and

In Europe bank transfers are free and the standard way of transferring money. Cheques are pretty much extinct. If American banks charge for them it's most likely because they can. It's standard practice in retail banking to offer

Germany is no different. Everyone is required to have health insurance(since not treating the uninsured is not an option in a humane socitey), and as a sole proprietor you must pay for that health insurance even if you earn very little. I a

Do bear in mind that the way this interpreted under US law is considered by most non-Americans to be completely bonkers, and is only sustained by strong, uncompromising activist pressure. I doubt the NRA would organize a picket to defend yo

The headline makes it sound like a new policy to bring in 400,000 people and then stop, but the German immigration system does not work on quotas. Anyone from an EU country has equal rights to a German citizen, any job that can't be ad

This is not true. The "ordering" includes making an appointment to visit a government office where your photo, signature and fingerprints will be taken.

You can't, the information above is either deliberately or unintentionally misleading. Yes, you can order an ID card online. But part of this "order" process is to make an appointment to visit a government office where your

The situation in Europe is entirely different. In almost all European Countries there is a mandatory ID card which is issued to all citizens. So to require this ID card when voting has no effect.

If there was no cost in terms of prison time and a criminal record, I would have no problem with killing a stranger for $100000000, and so I suspect would plenty of others.
