  1. Should be no problem in Germany on Will Americans Have Trouble Finding IT Jobs, Overseas? · · Score: 1
    As English is mandatory in German schools, and everything technical is done in English anyway, the language should be no Problem for getting a Job in Germany.

    Considering the shortage of IT-Workers in Germany, actually getting a job should be no trouble at all.

  2. Re:Euro Launch on PlayStation 2 Launched In Europe · · Score: 1
    You Americans really have no idea how big Europe is, right ?

    Just for comparison:

    Current estimate of people living in Europe:

    726,358,948

    Current estimate of people living in North America:

    469,574,005

    Even if you only count the western European countries, its still more people than in north America.

  3. Yeah, sure on Armed Robot Guards - Sorta · · Score: 1
    Just imagine the following.

    You have 5 - 10 of those beasties guarding a warehouse. And then someone gets accidently locked in in the warehouse. I think that person can kiss his ass goodbuy

    I if I had to work at such a place I think I wouldnt put a foot in that building until I knew the robots where all back in their garage.

    And I would definitly not be the one to go in there and count them!

  4. Re:low-energy fluorescent lighting on Force Fields And Plasma Shields Get Closer · · Score: 1
    This of course begs the question "Where can I buy a Lamp with LEDs which I can put on my desk?".

    I think the answer is - nowhere.

    What I said in my first post is still true, generating light is still extremely unefficient when it comes to everyday usage.

    If plasma were more efficient I'd happily use it.

  5. low-energy fluorescent lighting on Force Fields And Plasma Shields Get Closer · · Score: 1
    So, how exactly could this be used for low energy lighting ?

    Considering we still haven't a source of light that is even close to efficent, that would seem a much better application than using the plasma for shielding.

    > The more I hear of Scientology, the more I think > the Germans have it right when they banned this > group -- and that just might be what > Scientology Inc. is trying to do. Scientology is not banned in Germany, its just not a Church/Religion, which means they have to pay taxes like their a company. And their officially watched bei the "Verfassungsschutz" (roughly translated: Constition Guardian), which is an organisation that tries to control/watch over all extremists.
