Although I'm beginning to suspect that Typo3 is some brigdehead for a Danish Invasion of Germany of some sort. I recall we had some kind of war something like 110 years ago or so. Must be that there's still some stuff not settled yet. And Kaspar Skarhoj probably is some secrect agent of the danish crown.:-)
I know it was meant to be a joke, but we actually had a war something like 66 years ago or so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Weser%C3%BC bung#Invasion_of_Denmark
The economically most accurate comparison of two businesses is to compare their market value.
For example, by that measure, Toyota is "bigger" than GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler *combined*.
If you want to compare industries, in theory you could compare the market values of the businesses that make up the repective industry.
Of course, with so many privately-held companies, it's much harder to measure market value, but the concept is the most valid.
At least more valid than saying "we employ more people than you, so we are more valuable".
Flipperautomat = Pinball machine.
And although I would have phrased a few things differently (for example, simply "unreliable" instead of "accident-prone"), all in all this is an excellent translation.
And I *am* a German native speaker.

It must be the sleep-deprivation: I was reading "What are people in the IT field doing for *Steve* Jobs?"
