So - don't you want to fix it? Saying the limitation is mentioned somewhere on the page is a little lame.

I highly recommend the audio edition of the Economist, available to subscribers. It's the whole damn thing, 6h+ of mp3 each week. Made my bike commute into a politics and business briefing.

I am a huge fan of Google Hangouts, however I am pretty sure my current bottleneck is the upload speed of the people talking with me ... how realistic is it to upload HD video content in real time? [I am on all kind of European DSL connecti

It's as easy as just asking them to leave. While the bases re strategically useful for the US, they'd have a hard time labelling them necessary, given the current US-German relationship. But Germany won't ask, because they do

Around 2006 my (German) high school teachers started to check Wikipedia articles for all essay topics they assigned. But they never checked the English or French articles. Good for me!

The frequency already accounts for the time component. (People/Car)*(Car/Hour) = (People/Hour) = Throughput At a constant frequency and higher speeds, you will simply have less trains on the track at the same time.

Hm, is the patronage idea from the table already? What would I do if I had one billion dollar of leisure money? I guess I would buy a world-leading, still struggling social institution that has a high value for society - for just a quarter

I highly recommend the following TED talk on bike physics by Arend Schwab from Delft University of Technology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y4mbT3ozcA It focuses on the question why bikes do not fall, even without a ride

I remember the original thread. I was very sceptical back then and am happy to see the project is alive. The website looks very good on first sight. However, my test search (Canon Body Paris), did not only have not hits, the page looked bro

Hehe, I still use my Galaxy S (one), which appears to be indestructible. Several falls on concrete did not kill the phone. Also, the battery is cheap to replace, so I always have an old backup battery with me. But most important, it's

You crossed the tinfoil line. Copyright infringement was sufficient motivation for the actions taken. The megaupload raid was not okay, but I am pretty sure Hollywood was behind it, not the NSA.

because they still would be better of working, just possibly at a lower hourly rate. basic income: 1000 USD. unemployed janitor: 1000 USD employed janitor: 1300 USD. He does not need to work anymore, but it might still be worth it.

You can be anonymous, but most people aren't. Have you spend some time at reddit? It's about the culture, not the policy.

Love it. It's what every big company can learn from Google's doodle: A little bit of non-conformity/strangeness makes the biggest giant appear humane.

Mayer realized that Yahoo's position is that of a big old corporation: High assets, weak on true innovation. Using the assets to absorb external innovative power is the logical consequence. As time is running out, they have to go for 1

I often found that astonishing as well. It does not help that we do not have ivy league universities here in Germany. I have met hundreds of people here claiming to have studied "in Munich, Harvard and Oxford", because they attend

I have not claimed that it is wished for by a majority of the population. It is a serious thought for both the established Die Linke and the (until recently) rising Piratenpartei, and discussed at the main stage of SPD conventions. Not sure
