My plan is 10 Euro and includes internet. (Reduced speed from 500MB/month on, which does not effect whatsup)
Or to be exact: those 10 Euros are the additional charge for a plan that otherwise would have no monthly costs at all, but includes free calls to landlines nationwide. That's a bonus for having landline/DSL at the same phone company as my mobile, but (except the included calls) is quite on par with what else you can get here.
While I can understand that people have a problem with being recorded everywhere and by everyone, why has this never been a problem with those camera sunglasses you can get in your "toys for spies and other grown up kids" shop for years now?
These are actually designed to a) record more than a few moments of video and b) to do that hiden without arousing any suspiscion. And c) they are available for everyone for $30
And all of a sudden everyone is up in arms that people could buy a $1500 device that can't record longer than a few minutes and is highly visible to make SECRET (or at least unnoticed) video recordings? Come on guys...
The usual argument is the one about the slippery slope that the introduction of wearable video cameras will lead to ubiquitous video surveillance, but I can't see how that could lead there when wearable, hidden cameras is actually where we're comming from! Wearble cameras getting are getting bigger, more noticeable and less recording capacity and suddenly everyone is WORRIED?!?
Few cities could stock the material needed for a normal winter. So re-stocking during a winter is the norm. Only at higher prices (which evens out during warmer winters) and slower than in summer. But that's what you've got your inital stockpile for: Cover for the first week or so until roads are clear enough to get the restocking rolling.
That's definitly the way how it's handled here, just saw a documentation about it a few weeks ago. Companies can definitly deliver salt and grids during the winter. Perhaps not during days 1-3 of a fresh snowstorm, but in calmer conditions between them.
But during that week that they were prepared for, they had the chance to order additional salt and grit. At a higher price, of course, but still. While keeping a 2 weeks stock all years may not be worth it, a week (at least down here) would be enough to pull additional stuff from the next step in the supply chain, if forcast indicates so.
As I understood it, this would work if e.g. two trips from east to west (and west to east) would be more expensive than a return trip from east to center and west to center. So that every part of the journey is still paid for if Alice travelling from east to west buys a east to center ticket and swaps it at center with Bob, who wants from west to east and who bought a return ticket for west to center.
But is this more ore less hacking that other arbitrage transactions that are mentioned in the summary? THAt should be considered "hacking", too and subsequently declared illegal, too.
The only reason why I put up with all that DRM crap and the risk of Steam going down one day is that at least it saves me the hassle with physical copies! Why do I still need a disc if I have to use Steam anyway!
I think I can safely avoid that kind of games in the future, too.
Without commenting on the other aspects of that ruling, but that point is moot for games bought on Steam. The Steam EULA IS shown before the purchase.
And in another ruling just one day earlier German couts followed the ruling of the European court that in general, the sale of used software is legal and can't be stopped by EULA. (If it has been bought like a tangible good, the rules for re-sale of tangible goods apply. --> similar to first sale doctrine)
Licenseing is explicitly handled differently, but it has to be clearly noticeable that the underlying contract is a licensing contract and not a sales contract.
Is there still anything of value in a wallet? I'd guess the amount of cash went down with everything going credit card, nfc and all that stuff. Likewise: who still wears an expensive watch?
This is probably nothing that should surprise or alert the average US citizen.
But neither should they be surprised when other countries feel pretty much pissed of by that. Nor should they be surprised when other countries also start to play by the rules the US set. Wasn't it the US gouvernment that declared hacker attacks as comparable to other attacks and threatened conventional military retaliation to cyber attacks? And who is caught with his hand in the cookie jar now?
But your first after collage matters for work experience....
Basically, you can buy a head start. It won't help against a real good competitor, but it might just be the advantage you need over someone with similar (or slightly better) qualifications.
Furthermore, fashionable sperm donors sometimes become the genetic fathers of many, many children. Sometimes the children start dating without knowing that they're genetic half-siblings.

Maybe, but that is still $20 upfront.

I stand corrected.
That's not what she wants as that again would cripple german law enforcement.
Did someone else notice that if the chances for something to happen are exactly a million to one, there is a 1 to ten chance that it actually happens?

Just today Twenty Sided blogged about the "Uncanny Valley" in games when better AI makes the game feel more stupid.
That's what those companies are specialized in.

Believe me, this can get really hilarious when the other side (who just tried to explain your horoscope) doesn't get it....
"Yes, you're right, that's indeed one of the typical character traits for people of your sign" *FACEPALM*
Try to get them to find ANY Paris on a map...
Or France.
or it might be a simple mixup between astrology and astronomy.

OK. Point taken. But that's really lame.

The best of the BEST of THE BEST, SIR!
But I need a cloclk that can tell me if I'm still on time for my 3:25 meeting and not if it's morning, afternoon or night.
That's what the big sky-light outside is for.
But you have to provide 2-3 different layouts. Avoiding that is the whole point of responsive design!

Absolutely right.

Assuming an even distribution of Americas most powerful anti-Semites across the US and across US universities, that conclusion is logically correct.
And probably you end up with the same skills no matter what university you're on, but get hired only if you went to the expensive one.
That's the only reason why paying more in tuition sometimes might pay of.
Furthermore, fashionable sperm donors sometimes become the genetic fathers of many, many children. Sometimes the children start dating without knowing that they're genetic half-siblings.
That's normal in iceland:

Solution a) reduce addiction to a sicially accepted level
Solution b) have smoker and non-smoker cars
This is not a plane or a train compartment where smoke would fan out to hundreds of people.
