In Germany the ICE train mostly runs on existing routes, for newly build routes you have to make the trade off between connecting cities and travel time. But not connecting a city of almost 400,000 people is odd, it should get a stop. I don

What I thought was weird about Winodws Vista was the contacts folder. It had its own contacts application which didn't store the data hidden but directly in as vcards in this folder. The application got removed in Windows 7, like many

Am I in the minority that I think it is a positive development, when Google is discarding proprietary ideas in favour of open developments? Not perfect but the direction looks good so far.

What people overlook, also this linked pieces is, that Germany also has the banking system for this. You can say, there are three types of banks, private, state and co-op banks. And while there are huge private banks, most state and co-op b

I'm not a programmer, and when I tried to learn it I understood the concept but actually programming something is difficult for me. No idea why this is. But I can describe an issue, I'm trying to find out how to reproduce an issue

AFAIK you can only deactivate the travel mode on the web profile. Of course it would be much more effective when you use it in the team mode. So that someone else has to deactivate the mode for you.

They published it in "Cogent Social Sciences" which is publishing everything if you pay them enough money. They have been hoaxed themselves.

I understood that DNT is pointless because no one is respecting the setting, if sites like Twitter would do it reliable, it would be better for others to do the same.

Quite the opposite, that is the reason why websites like Twitter should honour DNT.

Well, VC have already the word "capitalists" in their name. They don't care for anything but the ROI. While a company has to care about its customers too.

If you go public, you have to obey to the rules of the market you join. That why I don't get why some companies even go public.

I disagree on the term "natural", but I agree that Google is a monopoly. A phone company with last mile lines has a natural monopoly because competition need access to the last mile to offer their services. That is the reason that

Essentially a perfectionist who can't settle, reminds me of myself. I've made a good experience with Arch Linux, and since I didn't care much about the init system it worked quite well for me. Sadly the hardware didn't s

The word "freedom" is really overused, and nobody seems to have an idea what it actually means. This will get ISP more freedom to charge their customers higher rates for the same service they enjoy today. I'm still a little b

I wonder why banks in the US don't just give all of their customers an IBAN and let them transfer money for free or very cheap. They could even give companies those IBANs and let them receive bill payments that way. But I guess that wo

Always when I read "may hurt your career" I think: what career? Do I even have one? Do I even want one? But I guess I might misunderstand the term anyway.
