I'd like to see a sample too - right now, the website looks like it is basically taking the input from the forms and outputs it to markdown? Or is it applying the styling used in the mentioned stackoverflow resume generator? The key to

You are right and the reporter should not have been the target of my anger. The analyst's statement is for me a symptom of what's wrong in our consumer society, but I cannot blame him personally for doing what he's paid to do

The shortsightedness of this article (and I guess business analysts in general) is breathtaking. Isolated, it might be positive for consumers, but any increase in the consumption of oil due to low prices should be feared. Celebrating Chines

That was pretty much all tongue-in-cheek. I guess I have to ramp up on the sarcasm.

That shifts the question to whether new ISIS recruits get lessons in Arabic. I guess kicking recruits out when they don't know Arabic well enough after a certain time is out of the question. Or are they those who get selected for suici

When you look at the picture and see the number of ISIS members that came from Europe I cannot help but wonder what language they are using internally. Quite a number of the recruits from Germany have a Turkish or German background, some in

As my girlfriend watches it as well, I can tell you that at least Reign is now available on Netflix Germany. With respect to the other shows: interesting - let's me question my non-use of a VPN as well.

I'm using the German Netflix without a VPN or proxy, so I'm unfamiliar with the differences between the German and US offerings? Would you care to tell me more? What are you watching on US Netflix that is not available on German N

The most often used German townsname in the US seems to be Hanover/Hannover - which is interesting, as it is a rather mid-sized city of half a million. Though the reason for this is most likely that it's also the name of the duchy

Consider adding -ham to the list, that seems to be an ending predominant in eastern bavaria. Very interesting stuff. You can nicely see those places which were founded by slavs, ages ago (-roda and -ow, among others, if I remember correctl

For anyone interested in the sort of schemes the Stasi applied to get their snitches, the German television drama Weissensee [1] is a really great resource. It follows a Stasi officer family's journey through the eighties and in that a

Thank you. Haven't thought about that album for many years, but now that you brought it back to my attention, I'll listen to it later today - which nicely supports the point you're trying to make.

When Google starts to state that the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) agrees with their policies, you know that something's amiss. Looking at fpf.org, they present themselves as a Thinktank, but it's probably more honest to describe

Bushido is a German gangster rapper - maybe consider renaming yourself if you ever want to approach the central European market.

That Google feature pisses me off massively as well. Let's call it premature personalization. I'm in Germany, yet sometimes I'd actually like to visit news.google.co.uk or .com. Yet it seems to sometimes redirect me to the Ge

Maybe I inferred too much from gp's comment and replied very tongue-in-cheek. Obviously I could have also said "accessible from Saxony (for the neo-nazis there), Cologne (for remnants of the red army faction) or Uganda (in case Jo

Well, up until 1815 there was only the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which covered mostly the German-speaking parts of Central Europe and some historically aligned places; in reality, several dozen mostly sovereign nations under c

As the title is pretty non-desciptive, the article studies and disseminates the social media propaganda strategy used by IS using a month of data on tweets and other IS propaganda tools.

Shouldn't that be off by opting out of Ghostrank? Personalisation does work to some degree, I can see that on Facebook. But especially in that place it tends to creep me out and I do make an effort to never visit Sponsored Content.
