    Is a hen house more secure when there is a fox to guard it?
    Of course it is! You get everything wrong again!

    Enemy cocks/roosters have it much more difficult to get inside!

  5. Yellowstone is probably the biggest hot spot on the planet.
    You can power the whole planet's electric needs several times over by it.

    And to grasp that you don't need a PhD

    BTW: forbes is not a reliable site for science

  6. No it does not.
    Neither the money nor the environment knows where it came from.

    My money from welfare has the exact same value like the money my father gifts to me, the money I steal from you, or the money I earn with a honest job, or the money I find in the streets.

    And they don't know any better either.

    They have *old* reports from America, from 1970 that some law was made.

    And like climate deniers they think: "it is exaggerated. How can so few people wich are all so poor have such an impact on climate/fresh air/environment"

    So, what actually are you accusing China (or other countries about)? That they made the same "mistakes" America did?

    Moreover the "but Jimmy's mom lets him do it" argument is a stupid one that was debunked by your mom back when you were a kid.
    I never made such an argument to my mom. And no real idea how it relates to the topic.

    The most likely explanation is: something is wrong in your set up, or the WiFi signal does not go thorough the walls.
    Sorry, it does not take to be a genius to figure something around you/your home is wrong, when we see that podcasts are obviously the most consumed digital thing on the planet.

  9. To get my android tablet into developer mode I had to click 15 times on a hidden button ... (documentation said it would be ten times).
    In the end: it does not mount as an USB drive on Macs.
    Under Linux It actually mounts two drives, one containing the Android OS and the user data (Apps etc.) and the other with windows tools to install for 'better usagae', probably synching and back ups.

  10. I actually like two consecutive lines, e.g. the inbox with sender and mail subject, in tow slighly different colours.
    On the other hand in Java IDEs, I usually switch all colours of program text off.

  11. I think you made a Dent with that post!

  12. Material design, and most importantly the name of it, is in my opinniion the worst thing that ever happened in software/UI design.

    I did not upgrade the OSes on my iPhone and iPad for nearly a decade, because Apple jumped on that train, too. It is so super ugly it makes me cry when I have to use it.

    The guy with the double standard is you.
    How and when exactly did the US start make environmental protection laws? Laws against air polution?

    It is hard to compare percentages like this, as probably the total amount ofproduced energy increased dramatically and perhaps the amount of energy produced by by coal just stayed the same.

    It is nit really corruption.
    It is simply incompetence on all levels.
    It starts with hiring the cheapest company and setting illusional goals for finalizing.

    We have the same problem in Karlsruhe where they "try to build a subway'. A project close to a billion and the main contractor basically went bancrupt in the first year but is kept floating with loans from the city.

    The problem with those big projects is, that one or a few main contractors, have to make unreasonable promises about timeframes and costs, and then try to shift all the risks to subcontractors, paying them pennies.

    Why should I provide a link when you can google stuff like this yourself?

    Just put an half assed english sentence into google: "spending for education per capita by country"

    And you get helpful links like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    But it is based on oercentage of GDP, so a bit missleading.

    I guess you find better results, good look.

  20. You could power 100% of americas power from yellowstone.
    No idea why people always throw in random numbers.
    You probably would not like to: a) it is simply to hot. b) it is seismic active. c) you might not want long power lines.

  21. Yes,
    Germany has trouble to reach the self set goals to reduce CO2.
    Nevertheless the electric energy production is nice example of goals reached.
    Why don't you simply google for reliable numbers instead of posting nonsense links?

    The carbon emissions are rising in relation to historical low points we had before.
    In no way are they rising verus our historical high points.

    You drove 20,000 miles last year, for odd reasons you have to drive 25,000 miles this year.
    Obviously your emissions are rising ... but that has nothing to do with your emissions from
    4 or 10 years ago where you were driving between 50,000 and 60,000 miles.

    I'm quite tired about people who have so few clue about the topic that they are not even
    able to use a search engine properly.

    Conclusion: Germany is not lowering its CO2 leves as quickly as we hoped 20 years ago.
    Sad. But you conclude we emitt more than 20 years ago: plain stupid.
