Are you sure those can't be configured via group policy? Maintaining a fork seems like an absurdly overcomplicated and expensive approach.

v2 is a 0kB file. As you note, v1 is still available, just as with any other paper that was updated. In any case I don't think that withdrawn papers support the OP's claim that PDF links are hard to find for normal papers .

I'm not sure whether you're serious, but on any article's page there a "Download" section with a link to the PDF (labelled "PDF").

The issue is that their LaTeX installation is fairly old, so there's a real chance of running into old bugs that have long since been fixed. It's a bit tiresome to work around those. I've had issues with their pgfplots versio

I'm not sure, it was there when I finally switched from the git repo to the packaged version some months ago. I'm using Debian stable (with the backports repo enabled)

The Debian package is even more convenient, it sets up the cronjob automatically (with a random delay to prevent everyone from hitting the servers at the same time). It's even quicker to set up.

Well wouldn't better driver's ed solve most of those issues? A tiered license system seems like an overly complex solution. I've driven in both Germany and the US (DC area, while on holiday), and found US driving a lot more r

Yes, I'm pretty sure that that's the case with the fake Koss Porta Pros (headphones). If you're going to make and sell a forgery, why would the barcode be a problem? Barcode or no, passing off the forgery as the real deal isn

I think the problem is that it would create a new form of range anxiety: what if you want to take a spontaneous trip and your car is at 20%? The other problem is fear of degrading battery capacity through lots of cycles. In time, both of th

Germany has a drinking age of 16 (for beer and wine, spirits are 18+), a driving age of 18 (there is assisted driving at 17, where you need to have a parent/relative in the passenger seat until you turn 18), and voting age of 18 for fe

I can use Netflix just fine with Laptop + external monitor on Linux with Chrome, even if I connect the monitor via VGA (just tried it). I only get 720p content that way, though—probably because VGA doesn't exactly have HDCP certificati

Only as long as you don't circumvent DRM, which in practice voids the whole Privatkopie thing because even CSS is counted as "wirksamer Kopierschutz" (effective copy protection), which is kind of a joke.

I've heard conflicting reports on whether Amazon co-mingles its own stuff with third party sellers, but some people have certainly claimed so. What co-mingling (it's opt-in for sellers) means is that Amazon doesn't distinguis

We use the same phrases in German, "fünf vor halb" and "zehn nach halb". It's quite useful, there's a description for every five minute offset to the hour: five/ten to/past the half hour or hour, quar

by lorenzhs 10y ago
Yup, in German "halb sechs" is half past five, whereas in the U.K. "half six" would be half past six. It's quite confusing if you're used to one system and suddenly need to use the other.

Ah yes, that does make sense. I guess it wouldn't be very lucrative to sell non-working electronics components. But consumer things that are just way worse quality than expected (or just not caring about manufacturing defects) could pr

Hm, I've ordered loads of inexpensive stuff on AliExpress as well, probably around 30 orders. The only problem I've ever had was that I received the wrong item once (DHT11 instead of DHT22), and the seller promptly refunded it. I

I do hope you see the differences between those scenarios, though? OWS doesn't have a presence in Egypt. If Egypt tried to serve them with some legal document requiring OWS to provide such metadata, they'd be laughed at. Telcos, o

$1.50 per litre is $5.70 per US gallon. According to the AAA, today's US average is $2.25, making gas in Sweden 2.5x as expensive. I think GP's point stands, even if the numbers were a little off. For the record, gas prices in Ger

Never seen a three-lane road with shared overtaking lane here in Germany. Those seem positively dangerous. 2+1 is fairly common on Bundesstraßen, though. They typically don't have a divider but the signage makes it very clear who can u

Galileo is a civilian project, though. It has features that are limited to police, border security, military, etc but it's an EU project. The EU doesn't have an army (its member states do, but the EU doesn't).

It's a pledge. People put their name on that list by choice. They want it to be on there, and they want it to be publicly visible. The point you are trying to make is not very well thought out.

Yes, but isn't the VG-Wort §52a UrhG thing a different issue? It's creating a whole lot of uncertainty right now, no doubt about that, but the article is about universities failing to reach an agreement with Elsevier. What you&#x2

Google is one of the major proponents of U2F, which is based on hardware tokens. Yubikeys support it, either the cheap U2F-only one or a Neo / 4. I use it and it works flawlessly. At the moment, only Chrome implements the required APIs

You can use any TOTP app you like, they all use the same QR code format. You can even build your own, it's all well documented.
