The trouble on the German Autobahn is not the speed, but the inhomogeneous traffic flow that results from the unlimited speed. For example on a three lane road the two left lanes the average driver goes around 150 km/h. A good number of drivers go around 130 km/h and there will always be a few that go or rather try to go a 180 km/h or above. The trouble comes when the car going something like 160 km/h is trying to pass the one going 130 km/h and a BMW comes along at 190 km/h. At low traffic density this can work quite easily, but once the traffic starts to moderately thicken, there is not much space for each driver to maneuver in a relaxed way. The result are you tend to severely slow down (150 -> 130) or speed up (150 -> 180) to make a safe maneuver. The entire thing can occasionally get quite stressful. Especially since there will always be a BMW and an Audi driver trying to go 200 in rush hour and severely failing; aggressively accelerating for 3 min to just have to slow down since the other drivers simply can not move out of the way, even if they want to.
I think that the German government makes up for the "losses" with petroleum taxes.
The first email to Germany was sent to rotert@germany. You can try that, maybe it is still valid. But that will probably land in some CS department of the Karlsruhe University.
The reference to small nation was an example that %of GDP is only of relevance if the GDP is in the same ballpark. The amount of money spent in research is at best a weak indicator of actual research advancement.
1. China does not top Europe in any way, the absolute numbers are fully and totally the opposite. The TFA refers to percent of GDP, which is meaningless.
2. Being on welfare in Germany compares to working off you ass on low to medium job in the US. You just need to do the minimum of research on the different programs.
3. There is something called elevator effect, in which the median standard of living is raised. The low end of German income will get you a middle class standard of living compared to 30 years ago. The only shitty practice are the total lack of minimum wage in Germany, where people have a job and get welfare to prop them up.
Yes complaining, that is what we Germans are really good at...
Is it just me or are the given values borderline meaningless. The given values are percent relative to GDP, so they basically indicate the willingness to spend a higher portion of their cash flow for R&D. On an absolute scale this meaningless, a small country could spend 50% of their GDP on R&D and still have less output than a huge nation spending 1%. Then again, raw money value also does not translate to actual scientific progress.
4) Upon my timely death or loss of memory, my family will have all it needs to delete my embarrassing online photos
That is exactly what I thought about the question. Assuming amnesia or similar what password would actually be *needed*. I can only think of access to banking systems, but that can be solved by turning up in person with a photo id. Anything else is so irrelevant.
Although I would never invest in any of the mentioned companies (stock value above real value), they retain intrinsic value. For example Google owns land, hardware and employs thousands of people. This can either be sold or contracted and are means of production. By owning stock you own a little bit of this.
If you trade stock for differences in market value, then go ahead and trace BTC, it makes no difference. (And I think you are a fool.) The real advantage of owning stock is that inflation is almost meaning less and you get a slice of the companies real profits in the form of dividends. Value based investment has paid off well in the past and I am looking forward to retiring with 40.
My wedding is about a week after my birthday. I remember the my birthday obviously and that is the trigger to get something. The exact date is then irrelevant.
Got news, the Geneva and Hague Convention only apply to regular military. So the moment you are either facing or are irregular combatants everything goes. But then you need to remember by who when the treaties where singed. At the time generals would send thousand men to their deaths and then congratulate each other over their victories over a cup of tee.
Your assertions are correct and have lead to the impression of "clean" wars. But every war is dirty and bloody. I think each congressman and general should be required to send their brother, child or brother into the field in a war they authorize. If after that the war still seems like a good idea (e.g. destroying Nazi Germany*) then it worth fighting.
(* I am part German and still think it was a necessary and good idea... in general)
Q11: Can you realistically perform the chosen-ciphertext attack on GnuPG?
To apply the attack to GnuPG, we found a way to cause GnuPG to automatically decrypt ciphertexts chosen by the attacker. The idea is to use encrypted e-mail messages following the OpenPGP and PGP/MIME. For example, Enigmail (a popular plugin to the Thunderbird e-mail client) automatically decrypts incoming e-mail (for notification purposes) using GnuPG. An attacker can e-mail suitably-crafted messages to the victims, wait until they reach the target computer, and observe the acoustic signature of their decryption (as shown above), thereby closing the adaptive attack loop.
Your post makes no sense. (Is it sarcastic?) A sliding cover is exactly the type of implementation that most users would trust. It is the type of intuitive things, like toggle switches for off buttons. Users used to be afraid that hackers could penetrate their systems though the modem. They knew that the system without power is safe. The more novice users did not trust that the ACPI off rally work and may have heard from "wake on lan" features. The simple solution, put the entire PC on a connector strip with a simple toggle power switch. That switch definitely OFF.
A physical and manual sliding door is exactly this, closed door means camera "off". Since even if the camera is on, all it will see is black. This type of safeguard the users understands intuitively. It is even stupidly simple. It may ruin the cool apple aesthetic though.
Exactly. On my 3 year old Logitech camera (USB to Desktop) the indicator light is an option, which is currently in the permanently off state. Then again the camera comes fitted with sliding shade, so even if the software activates the camera, the camera can physically not see anything. (The camera mic works fine, though.)
Yea... Either you have a PhD (13), MA (12), BS (11) or a technical apprenticeship (10). Here a page where you can look up the current pay grade: http://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/tvoed/v/ So no matter what the task, you get the same pay.
You are missing a fundamental flaw in the reasoning. Technology (in this case "robots") is as good as the human that designed it. There will always be work in researching, designing and building new and more efficient technology. Even if certain task become feasible to automate, the higher level tasks will still be done by humans. There will never be a situation in which humans do no work at all. There will be a time when humans do not need to do any physical task unless they want to. But that is not some far fetched sci-fi scenario, that transition has started 50 years ago. (When was the last time you type set a text?)
The assumption that we humans will be able to develop AI that can then create new and better technology is a logical fallacy. For this the AI must become sentient, or can only optimize existing processes and technology, but never create new one. If the AI is sentient, I doubt it will cooperate for long. The last sentient "tools" we had where called slaves and that did not work well for very long. If the state where all humans do no work at all is ever achieved, it will probably not last long and either be the end of human race or reverted to the previous state, except with two sentient races living side by side.
Not voting means opting out of democracy altogether. Just don't complain later when they execute you because you called out great noble king "*LOUSY*". The current affair in the US is despicable, I must agree. Go vote, but vote for something other then DEM or REP.
What if the 100,000,000 voted for neither DEM nor REP? There are other parties in the US, if you don't like the status quo, stop voting for the status quo.

Well trademark is not copyright and thus there is no concept of public domain. The only way you can dispute a trademark claim is to show that it was a publicly used term before the trademark was established and still is. But IANAL.
