I just looked and you can't get them (legally) online for free anymore. Too good to be true ;)

Can't you substract the interest from your income?

If one isn't in the US or Canada Facebook is theoretically legally obliged to send you all data it has about you, if you request so. They seem to make that more and more difficult though.

The other day it wouldn't even allow me to remove or truncate files, because it was running out of space. I was annoyed: How would you free space if you can't remove anything. There wasn't any snapshot of those files, but I was able to free

Never had a problem here in Germany either. Smoking is luckily not allowed anymore, as well. There is a quiet car, too, but it is hardly necessary. Talking on the cell phone loudly is frowned upon everwhere, even in the underground train --

Someone can give you money to vote for a specific candidate and verify that you voted correctly via the confirmation code.

I myself like to do this. But only for home servers. I would never do that for a "serious" application. There are several reasons, the most important one being that this is a perfect example where outsourcing the work is both cheaper (econo

Had this problem once as well. It's so weird that explorer doesn't use the API without the path length restriction...

Well it seems to be the logical choice, but the UK is currently backing out of the EU, so we would not have any native speakers. And while some countries (spain probably included) are reasonable blasé about adopting other languages, forget

I'm confused as well. Every claim of the patent begins with "A computer-implemented method..." so it is definitely a software patent. I think this is just for damage and they have to counter-sue for invalidility separately.

We live in a world with finite resources. That means nothing is free and everything has a cost associated with it. That means you have to think a little bit about the cost and benefit of doing something. You cannot save all children.

I wonder how they plan to win that one, given that there are no software patents in Germany. (Only if software is used in connection with a "technical" invention)

Google Talk, Facebook messenger, ... then it is not even dependent on the mobile phone number. And I like being able to type the messages if I have a keyboard and not just my mobile phone. I cannot understand why everybody uses WhatsApp.

I bought this one and it is pretty cool: http://adafruit.com/products/306 A little bit more expensive though, because it has a microcontroller every 6cm.

Not only that you can use Bitcoin scramblers to launder your bitcoins. Because nobody mentioned them yet: They forward money for a fee. With enough users one can then not trace the transaction anymore. And that makes Bitcoins a anonymous me

DHL has those in Germany. In fact over 2400. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation I'm an avid and happy user. Of course something like BufferBox would have been better, but I understand that investment does make a lot more sense as a

I guess you cannot avoid a few misses in that much information. I found most of it to be true. That said, I think it glosses over the fact that US states have huge differences and he has only experienced a subset of them.

Exactly. Anyonymous payment however would be bad. And currently, with e.g. bitcoin scramblers, we are getting there. I can see no harm in anonymous data exchange (except copyright infringement) on an open society. But if you can order whate

We all know the Euro is a sinking ship. The idea is now to take the engine of that ship (Germany) and put it into another smaller ship. Replacing the engine by... a new one that is yet to be build. That will surely safe the Euro ship... I f

I once went on a tour through a nuclear power plant and the cooling tower was the one place where you could really get an idea of how much energy is being produced there. You could feel the draft about 100m away and once you were inside it

I think all this applies only to developer tools/libraries. There interested people can also help i.e. they find a bug and fix it and if they are nice, they contribute. Projects for end-users tend to either have a corporate interest behind

Discussions where one does not agree on the topic are always kind of pointless: You can view "coding" as... ...an extension of mathmatics -- The ability to express an algorithm in a way that a computer understands it. ...an engineering disc

It hasn't deepend to that point yet tough. It's still trial&error genetics and medicine. Being smarter than nature is a tall order. I'd say the long term success (Millions of years) of humankind is still not sure. Does not seem very sta
