Can't speak for Germany, but for Switzerland. In Switzerland, it's okay to not tip. You would usually tip at a restaurant though if the service was good. At a bar, you might opt to tip to round up the price, so say a beer costs X.

The first link to the source is actually all about tipping, which I'm surprised didn't make it onto the list. While American style tipping is odd to me as a European, it just feels even odder the longer I live in Japan (where ther

likely a reason WhatsApp is popular in Europe (or at least Switzerland) is that one is likely to have friends in other countries, and international SMS are a rip-off. At least that's why I use LINE/gtalk/fb messenges a lot th

how safe is it to install OpenWRT? What are the chances of me bricking my router if I have no clue what I'm doing? My model is sort of listed in their supported hardware section (it's the Japanese version of the Buffalo WZR-600DPH

You could also argue that this project helps society move in a way you prefer. Once you get to "mutual crush" and ideally start dating, my assumption would be that those dates would be in "real life".

Two things. Games, which is hit and miss but I'm still deeply impressed by the wine devs. Civ V runs amazingly well and it seems smother than the native OS X version, though that impression might be influenced by the wine version on L

I'd not really consider DVD/CDs as the same thing as digital downloads. I'd love to purchase digital movies/music, but there's no way I'll buy a CD/DVD as they're useless to me.

The problem with that logic, as much as I'd like to believe it, is that customers seem to be very happy to pay >5$ after "buying" the "free" game in IAP. And because "free"+IAP is the norm these days, c

I fly to the US a few times a year. Until a year ago from Switzerland either direct or London, now from Tokyo. Never seen a full body scanner outside the US. There is a bit of security theater though, which might pale in comparison to the

Mine even has a "HP Print Service Plugin" which is unremovable and wastes ~25MB. And unremovable Chinese and Thai IMEs. But at least it's a lot less bloated than my previous HTC phones (Desire and One X).

my experience is that if you're going for good, not excellent, coffee nespresso is damn good. especially if you factor in time and effort.

Enjoy playing games or using anything else than requires precision and speed on your fancy multitouch trackpad. Also the scrollwheel on my mouse happily scrolled the page to the right when I pushed it to the right.

Japan also has a system to automatically withdraw money from someone elses account, eg for rent, but requires the account owner to authorize the other account first. does germany not have that step?

Yahoo! Japan is it's own company that only focuses on the Japanese market. As far as I know Google does not have a setup like this. Yahoo! Japan is owned mostly by Softbank and Yahoo! (see other comment).

Living in Japan, it's not that surprising. Until a few years ago Yahoo had far superior services in Japan for things such as transit directions. I remember 5 years ago trying to get around Tokyo using Google Maps with no success, but t
