    Yeah, if 5000 $ is 10 a they should give him paid vacation for the rest of his life. The value of even just one minute the world is without Trumps Tweets can never be expressed in $! :P

    Probably I just don't understand your comment (because I'm not a native english speaker) or it simply doen't make any sense at all?...

    I see you know what you're talking about and read and understood my comment, jerk... I'm pretty sure I do much more sports than you, even though I got type 1 diabetes which makes several weeks of bikepacking or mountaineering a bit harder, but at least its possible nowadays. Now go back stuffing chips into your lazy body and watching fox news...

  4. Not the best summary on Could Diabetes Spread Like Mad Cow Disease? (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 5, Informative

    In case others wonder about the same, the article is about TYPE 2 diabetes. Just writing "diabetes" is quite pointless since type 1 and 2 are completely different. (Got type 1 myself for 26 years)

  5. Re: And the hits keep on coming ... on Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic To Lead EPA Transition (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    So in the USA there are no jobs that wont cause global warming and/or pollute the environment, what year do you have over there, 1930? Good that I'm not living there, especially now that a clueless Reality-TV-jerk was voted for president. I don't care too much about the US going down (While feeling sorry for anyone who hasn't voted for Trump :/) but could you please stop fucking up the whole planet on the way to self-destruction?
    Well, Trump first!... or however his slogan is...

    P.S.: California, New York and others living in the current century: Just get rid of that useless ballast and get independent...

  6. Re:Too late on KDE Applications 15.08.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Heard of launchpad? Often got ppas for newer releases, this one would have helped: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk...

    The automount problem for exfat? Had that too, but I think that was with 14.10 and KDE 4 (And not sure if it was even KDE related...).

    Overall KDE 5 is running pretty smooth here, especially for a early version :)

  7. Re:and the beer is really good on How American Students Can Get a University Degree For Free In Germany · · Score: 1

    Becks is a very bad example when talking about good german beer, at least I know noone drinking that one because of it's taste, seems more like one for the reason described in the xkcd comic ;)
    Looking at larger ones try Augustiner (and their Edelstoff) and Hacker for example. In case you like Weizen give Erdinger a try, expecially their dark one :)
    And if you happen to be around Cologne trying out a Kölsch won't hurt either ;)
    But there are also some pretty good foreign beers. Guiness of course, but I've just been to sardinia/italy and their Ichnusa ain't bad either (Nothing compared to the great wine there of course :D). Would really like to try some of the microbreweries in the united states but didn't have the chance yet.

    But yeah - for the sake of the reputation of the german breweries - please just forget cheap mass-produced crap like Becks /o\

  8. Re:Exactly on New Mozilla Encoder Improves JPEG Compression · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I also love those stitched panoramas with a few GiB file size, really a great idea ;)

    png is a great format of course and I use it a lot but such an generalization doesn't make any sense at all. Depending on the use case you have to decide which one you use.

  9. Re:good riddance on Adobe's New Ebook DRM Will Leave Existing Users Out In the Cold Come July · · Score: 1

    Well... I never bought any (Adobe-)DRM protected eBooks because I expected that this would happen some day. But: This was just a few years ago, didn't expect that bullshit-system to fail that soon, what the hell? I would be really really pissed if I would have bought some Adobe-DRM protected eBooks... Oo
    Let's hope people will learn that they never "own" anything DRM protected and may be ****ed by Adobe or whoever provides the DRM the next day...

  10. Re:Which shows that people don't understand on Global-Warming Skepticism Hits 6-Year High · · Score: 2

    In germany the winter still hasn't started... it's a bit colder of course but no snow at all unless you're at at least 1000 m height and up there it's still not a lot and especially no fresh snow. I'm really thinking about going to the river and heating up the grill again, but it was a bit to foggy this weekend to do it ;)
    Well... hope it will change until this weekend, at least the forecast is optimistic :)

    So... climate change happening? Yeah... looking at this totally wierd and extreme (hot or warm, depending on the region) winter I would say so...? Oo

  11. Re:Meanwhile in russia on Newly Discovered Greenhouse Gas Is 7,000 Times More Powerful Than CO2 · · Score: 1

    Would be new to me that russia is good in any way, especially when it comes to protecting the environment? And where did the article say anything about the US or russia anyway?
    Unfortunately those SUVs are around pretty much everywhere, not just in the US... if you know a nice country where noone got those ego-problems requiring them to buy such penis-enlargements let me know, that would be something to be jealous about :)

  12. Re:But its still difficult on One Year After World IPv6 Launch — Are We There Yet? · · Score: 1

    At least the Fritz!Boxes of the last years all support IPv6 (They're what you get from pretty much every ISP in germany except for the really crappy providers). Not sure when they've added support, the one I got about two years ago had it. My ISP (m-net) also provides native IPv6 for all customers, but it's one of the few that do so (Also not sure how long, the 2 years I have my router for at least). Especially the large ISPs are really lazy when it comes to IPv6 support, guess it may take a few more years for them to even start thinking about it...

  13. Re: Energy a bit more important than Beer on German Brewers Warn Fracking Could Hurt Beer · · Score: 1

    You're right, seems I mixed up where the answer belonged to. So sorry, my mistake.

    Luckily for the environment lignite production is going down since the DDR ended. Been around Leipzig on vacation sometime, where it was raised in large amounts. They made lakes out of the left holes by renaturation of those areas, but where they didn't do it yet you can easily see that pretty much everything that was once there has been destroyed. The lack of vegetation looks a bit like the grand canyon, just a really ugly variant of it...

  14. Re:Energy a bit more important than Beer on German Brewers Warn Fracking Could Hurt Beer · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, living in germany. The dept even went down the last year and unemployment rate is pretty much nonexistant at the moment and most companies have shown very good numbers recently so I really can't complain (except for the horrible weather in munich these weeks). Don't know where you come from, but my rough guess would be that country that will most probably print even more money to avoid bankruptcy in 2013, I think it was called... USA?
    Germany's not the best country of the world for sure, but some USA citizens have a view of the overall world that doesn't even come close to reality? (Always have to think about Homer Simpsons shouting "USA, USA" somehow XD)

    The fracking process needs to be throughoutly tested imo, to my knowledge the company producing the liquid pumped in still didn't even disclose the contents of the liquid. Until they don't give that out and some independent institute does a study on the process I'm definitely against fracking in germany (like pretty much everyone except the gas lobby).

    You mean an average of two "fuck" per sentence, or did the post contain more than that? It seems that word has substantial meaning to the poster ;)

  16. Re:This is great news. on Over the Antarctic, the Smallest Ozone Hole In a Decade · · Score: 1

    I would say you rather notice the ozone hole when you're red like a tomato after lying around at the sea for some time on a warm summer day and it doesn't have anything to do with global warming at all. Maybe you could do that more often with a bit of global warming though?

  17. Re:Wait, so then what? on US Educational Scores Not So Abysmal · · Score: 1

    I guess you should take some time abroad, just beware of the cannibals eating you as soon as you arrive at the airport (Some plain grass area, roads weren't invented up to now) - but it would help you to escape that severe loss of reality you have ;) Or in short for you to get at least a little impression of the reality, so you're not totally shocked once you get confronted with it: Leading in innovation, scientific achievement and GDP: Those are switzerland, finnland, japan and so on usually, never seen US there. Military power: True, just nothing to be proud about in my opinion. I'm just happy that playing war belongs to the past for germany (Where I come from). Companies: You seem a bit limited to IT here, even if germany got SAP at least. For cars this looks completely different for example. Germany is still leading here when it comes to quality, next come some other european countries, japan etc., who totally sucks at this seems to be the US (You produce cars, but from what I heard even from US citizens they're mostly crap). Universities: Answered somewhere else too, but pretty clear since the US is much larger than most other countries. Economy: You need some geography-updates too, Greece != Europe. What I heard the US is really down when it comes to this though, probably Bush was playing war too much? Germany reduced it's debt the last year, so we're doing very well. Politics: Uhm, another geography-update, Egypt not element of Europe. Wars: Last one was the second world war, as said earlier I'm very happy that the nazi regime is gone and we didn't have another war since, even if I wasn't born back then (Probably an update too if you thought Hitler is still alive: He isn't). Regular occurence: Uhm, now it's getting creepy, could you write down an overview of that fascinating view you have of europe? At least to my information the US started most major wars of the last years (Pretty much all of them because of oil... - uh, I meant evil terrorists of course). Liberty for equality: Wow, it's getting more and more distant, but another geography update here: China not element of Europe. At least that stuff you wrote sounded like communism?
