Well, I pay about 40% income taxes and I still pay them gladly. You see, while I technically no longer belong to the middle class by German standards (e.i. I earn more than 150% of median income for a German family), my parents are by the same standards poor. Still, I got a university degree without indebting myself thanks to zero tuition while enjoying a top-tier state-mandated medical insurance (not completely free but very, very cheap for students) all along.
Social lifts can seem expensive, but they are crucial for a stable and prospering society. The net gain is still positive.
The app in question is DailyRoads Voyager and it's pretty good. It even records your speed as a subtitle. The wide-angle lens kit is a nice idea, but it will make a smartphone bulkier and give others the idea that a recording might be ongoing which is not always a good thing.
In my opinion, you can use a smartphone as a dashcam as it is, many youtube videos have no wider angle. It is a very cheap solution for someone who already uses a smartphone as a navigation tool, you might only need a new mount that does not obscure the camera if any. And such a setup will help to clarify many issues.
I use my smartphone with DailyRoads warrior app on a windshield mount as a dashcam. If I don't want to tell anyone that a recording was ongoing, I simply won't.
A smartphone. Pick a GPS navigation app you like most and start DailyRoads Voyager in the background. I've automated both apps to start when I put my handy in the windscreen mount (via NFC tag in my case, but there are other ways of automation).
I think that DailyRoads app has the ability to do so. Besides, it's a smartphone mounted on a windscreen mount with recording going on in the background and a navigation app in the foreground. Few will suspect ongoing recording.
And I stand as living proof they're right. I did have reading and math skills above average at the age of 7. I do fine nowadays: some sociologists won't even put me in the middle class anymore. My parents were at that time (and still are, by German standards) pretty low-income.
Now, that's anthropocentric. The Universe managed quite well for aeons before we dropped in and it'll continue to do so long after we're extinct. We're not the raison d'etre (despite many of us being convinced we are).
Still, unless proven otherwise the humans are the only intelligent species theoretically capable of achieving the technology to survive without the home planet and thus ensuring the continuity of life in the universe. I would say that is a goal worth considering.
Or, learn how to survive on this planet before going out and colonizing another one.
One does not exclude the other: we are a very long way from even remotely be able to survive in space without the aid of the Earth. To do so we must master new sustainable energies, recycling techniques to re-use almost everything, ability to produce enough food in a contained space with little resources. If we have any of the above, life on Earth will be better anyway.
I strongly disagree, LyX is not a good editor, it is a great one!:-) It's formulas editing is absolutely unmatched. I have switched to pure LaTeX nowadays, but recommend LyX to any student I know.
A success story from my side: at the university I have used LyX to type down lecture information from a blackboard. I have, of course, shared my pdfs and.lyx files. Later on, even the professor himself has used my documents because he had his lectures written down by hand previously. And I got a part-time job from the said professor, part of the job was to digitalize his lectures. And because he was putting his complete script on a blackboard, I basically got paid for visiting his courses (which I had to visit anyway).
Later on, I have used LyX for my thesis, but even then I have been in the process of switching to raw LaTeX. LyX is somewhat less flexible, but a great entry point to the world of beautiful documents.
Last year I have applied for a job (albeit in a much better market) and I made sure that my application looks nice, my cover letters have no gross grammar or spelling errors (even made a few friends proofread them) and are actually relevant to the information in the job offer.
So, LaTeX ftw! In the end I got four offers of five interviews I've agreed to take (and have rejected countless other interview offers). The hiring manager on a job I took is actually a LaTeX fan himself so he had immediately noticed my resume:-)
I do, my parents and aunt (all in their 60s), my sister, even my grandfather. They ultimately had a choice of switching to Linux or troubleshooting their machines themselves (ironically, in case of my granddad it was a malfunctioning wireless driver on Windows XP that led to the switch). Did wonders in greatly reducing the time I need to fix something on these PCs: no malware to speak of in close to 10 years and for the cases where they need me to take a look I've even set up a server for reverse ssh tunnel for both ssh and vnc to speed things up even further.
Hell, as the family is spread throughout the continent, I've even made a custom LiveCD which automagically establishes an ssh tunnel to my dedicated server in case something goes terribly wrong (didn't use it yet though).
I've yet to see signs of them getting more technical.
This is interesting... I've studied in Germany and not only were most of CS students pretty fluent in English there, one of the first thing we were told at the University was "English is not a foreign language for a programmer or CS student".
Good English knowledge is also a requirement at many companies as they often work with foreign colleagues, partners or customers in one form or another. And that is more or less the rule as German economy is very export-oriented (and English is de-facto lingua franca nowadays).
It doesn't have to be the choice between "8 hours to customize" and "2 minutes to fire off". I've, too, used several templates while looking for a job last year, but I also took time to write a paragraph or two for more interesting offers.
As for formatting etc.: LaTeX does a good job making the resume look good with minimal effort. Word processor would've taken much more time for similar results, that's for sure.
Mine have been forcefully switched to Linux. Much easier to support since I've set up ssh reverse tunnel with port forwarding for vnc. So if a PC is online, I can fix it. If not -- there's a custom LiveCD which does the same trick with reverse ssh.
Still, it is a new low: a Science Minister lost her PhD. She has also been very vocal in criticizing von Gutenberg for doing basically the same. On top of that she has no university degree at all now which is funny for a Science Minister.
I was being sarcastic then I was talking about higher pay and lower taxes.
I, for one, get slightly more than half of my gross income: the rest are taxes, mandatory medical insurance and social security. I am above average in my income so for any additional 100 Euros I make, I get only 50. And boy am I glad that I am paying taxes (someone's taxes paid for my university degree, after all. Wouldn't be able to get one if it weren't for free)! Sure, the system is neither perfect nor optimal, but if the alternative is what you have in the US -- I'll choose German system any other day.
Had a few minor surgeries of my own, but I didn't even get the bill: mandatory insurance had it 100% covered, so no additional fees and no increase in monthly payments. With mandatory medical insurance you pay according to your income but not more than 313 euros or so. We have private insurance companies as well, they cost less while you're young but otherwise work like their US counterparts i.e. ripoff.

Yet, it's called Autotune.

The difference to current models of a wife is?

You cannot because of the regulations (sport's rules). On a deregulated stadium you would see dozens of 110 pound Chinese guys.
Still managed to get a bluescreen with Win7 at work first day it has been deployed :-)

They are clearly holding the cable wrong.
Under 500 dollars? So, no iPhones.

It's more like a trademark: if you won't protect it, it becomes void.
