I think lots of people here have made excellent points about the UK etc., so I would like to add something else, which is the representation of gun usage in the media. Let's compare a show like Flashpoint with, say, NCIS Los Angeles.

What he means, but phases poorly, is to use compounds . On your other point, at least German is very specific with how compounds work grammatically, namely that they follow a head-right principle which defines genus and declination and whi

I don't know what you are arguing here. A gun is a physical item, as is ammunition. You can stop somebody, search them, and find out if they have a gun and/or ammunition. You cannot do any such thing with encryption, as it is not

Exactly, because obviously 3d printed objects are not, in fact, physical objects that require physical ammunition and that can be treated like any other physical object, right? Right?!

Most of the German public broadcasters still use Flash (arte, ZDFMediathek, 3sat is one giant flash-blob etc.) The most infuriating one is NDR, because they allow you to switch between Flash and HTML5 video. However, if you don't have

A successful middleclass business does not equal billions or necessarily even millions, so I fail to see how the gp's comparison is off? What he is saying is that you are as likely to be the next Bill Gates as you are to be the next Mi

A BahnCard 25 gives you 25% off journeys, can be combined with saving offers and costs ~60€ per year. A BahnCard 50 gives you 50% off journeys but cannot be combined with savings. I think it costs ~200€ per year. A BahnCard 100 gives you 10

As an i3wm user, sometimes, but not always, after resuming from sleep, chrome puts context menues (and only context menues) on my other screen, so I wholeheartedly agree that Aura and multi-monitor (tiling?) setups have some issues.

If you compare local earnings to house prices, London is, in fact is only #2, behind Oxford.[1] The problem with Oxford and Cambridge (as well as a place like Reading) is that they are still within commutable distance from London (Oxford

I think the grandparent chose the wrong end of the stick with relating this to "famous" people, which, in turn, threw you off. Sure, you can register an account in my name, but there are quite a number of people who will not be fo

A knife and a bullet are very different beasts in terms of how they penetrate tissue like Kevlar, so your comparison is pointless, and something that resists a bullet need not be stab-proof, simply because they apply very different kinds of

Why is that funny, really? Some of his grievances can really only materialise because he uses the products. I have never had many of these problems, because I use none of these products. The point is that he wants to use "all Googl

This is the correct answer. The article already shows a bunch of pictures from Freiburg, and this something they also do, especially in its relatively new "eco quarter" Vauban: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Va

That guy bothers me. What he doesn't account for is that, most likely, a place that would have to invest in education is not a developed nation in the first place. However, whatever you produce and especially export to the developed

The first thing to look at is probably the tutorial[1], followed by the wiki page about OSC[2], which is the command-line tool that interfaces with OBS itself. The Packaging Guidelines[3] provide additional information for specific use case

OBS is a fantastic service. As other comments have pointed out, you can build for other distributions as well, but as an openSUSE user, I use it for quite a bit. Some of the packages I would otherwise compile locally but that don't nee

I do something similar, albeit more in fashion with the gp: I have a small-ish truecrypt container that has a "passwd" directory in which each service gets its own txt-file. The same container also holds a handful of other essenti

It's not an analogy, it shows the questionable wording of the GP's claim, which, with minimal adaption, can be made into quite a different argument with a rather different feel to it. The whole point is that words and implications

My bad.[1] The computing world isn't the most inclusive to begin with, and by additionally alienating parts of the audience that hasn't already been excluded on other grounds (gender, race), none of this gets any better. Confere

Sure, but it does matter how you present your argument, and that's not at all what the GP expressed , even if it might have been the intended meaning.
