You cannot write device drivers in Java or Python as both languages require either an interpreter alias virtual machine or a just in time compiler. Also they are not the right tool for that particular job. However, they are well suited for other tasks.
Makes sense. However, you forgot to point out that you can have Netflix with your favorite telco for some extra and of course the contract is fix for 48 month. Also if you switch to another provider, your Netflix account will go too as it is included.
Was he not elected for celebrating his own self-centeredness? Surprisingly, his followers still believe his self interest is their self interest. To their and others demise, Trump only produces some racist rhetoric and gives money to the rich (and himself) exactly what the GOP wanted all the Obama years. Next they will ruin ACA (alias Obama Care), education (only the rich will have good schools). I hope for you in the US that there will be only 4 years of Trump.
As the rest of the developed world tries to convert to stupidity as well, don't fear being left behind. Look the British do not even have a functioning government, dream of their Empire and try to leave the EU. Other countries like Poland and Austria are working towards abolishing human rights and separation of power (three branches of government). So no worries. However, if you hoped that the rest of the world will help you getting out of that misery, not gonna happen. Instead we will follow your brave example.
You are right. However, I would go for compulsory ID and automatic voter registration, like many EU countries have. This also eases paying taxes, getting social subsidies etc.
It would be better to have compulsory ID which anyone must have which includes specifying a contact address. If you are poor you obviously do not need to pay anything for the ID. However, I have heard in the USA such IDs are not compulsory and you do not get registered automatically which in turn complicates things for people who do not use an ID in their daily live which are poor people.
I am baffled by the fact that there is no general ID in the US which is compulsory. In countries like Germany you have a general ID and you have to specify your permanent residence (your state contact address). Through this you are automatically registered to vote and get all voting materials necessary to that address. You also pay your taxes there. The information is used for all elections town hall to national parliament and of course EU parliament. And you can forbid the state to give away your data to third parties.
I do not know how well public transport works in the US (I heard it is terrible, but my own experience is decades old so it might have improved). For example in Berlin the underground and rapid train system travel on many line every 5 to 10 minutes. Also bus lines are coordinated that you can hop on every 10 minutes. Light rail from outside the city have 60 km/h average speeds while this is unachievable with a car during rush hour. For example if you have an 60 minutes commute with 30 minutes on highways where you can drive 120 km/h and you need to stop for 15 minutes due to a traffic jam (including speeding up again), you only traveled with 80 km/h. On city roads a car usually has an average speed of 13 km/h. Therefore, you are actually slower than light rail + underground.
In Switzerland the advantage for public transport is even greater. In Basel you might commute into the city in 30 minutes by public transport while you need an hour to get into town by car. To be able to do so, public transport needs a rapid schedule and the arrival times of all systems must be coordinated. And you need to have a ticket which can be used for all means of transportation, which is the case in Germany, Switzerland and other European countries (excluding UK, Spain, Italy, Portugal).
If you want to fix traffic in densly populated areas, you should avoid cars and use mass transit. Light rail, trams and modern busses can achieve higher travel speeds and higher throughput than cars. To connect less populated areas, you use park and ride systems, i.e. , parking lots with direct bus/tram/train access.
He is not trustworthy. I will not employ a person with a questionable character. No company wants that (except from the upper management). Interestingly the US population thought a narcissist asshole with limited intellect but unlimited self-interest will be beneficial for the country.
He is obviously unable to understand social conventions. Therefore, he is not able to work with others. Thus he can either become US president or stay out of any other office where he has to compromise. That is stay unemployed. Instead of sending him to prison, they should send him into a mental institution helping him to grow up and become a productive part of society.
A car is not a toy. It is a tool to get me from A to B with comfort and without surprises. I do not need a Santa feature. I had one on my Linux desktop back in the days. It was nice but did not help with anything. it was an unnecessary distraction. You do not want that in a car.
Chris Kringle and the Easter Bunny are the same person. Or have you EVER seen them together. They both hide packages of questionable origin in your house and garden. And they NEVER appear together.
http://www.der-postillon.com/2... (German) Translation (by google, I was lazy) Hamburg (dpo) - Is the DHL million extortionist finally caught? The Hamburg police today arrested an elderly bearded man carrying thousands of suspicious parcels in a sled. To be on the safe side, the entire sled was blown up by specialists following an evacuation of the environment. According to police, the suspect had penetrated the airspace over Hamburg on Sunday morning with a flying sled. In the subsequent landing in front of a block of flats, he was stopped by a large contingent of police and at the last second overwhelmed, before he could throw several suspicious packages with suspicious packaging in a chimney. "Apparently, the man was about to commit a series of attacks," said a spokesman for the Hamburg police. "At the moment he is being interrogated, so we can not give any information on his motives at the moment." Various media speculate now, whether it is the man to the DHL extortionist, which has caused several times in recent weeks, a stir. Sources within the Hamburg police report that the suspect has so far answered corresponding questions only with a scornful laugh ("Ho! Ho! Ho!"). Also curious: At his arrest, the shaggy senior was accompanied by nine reindeer. Since the animals had no papers at all and the introduction of diseases could not be excluded, they were now euthanized.
For people who have nothing to decide otherwise can now switch the design and layout of their car controls. Most likely this is a safety hazard and also -- what the heck, this is a car not a smartphone screen. Fortunately, you do not need to activate it, but how about "ho ho ho" audio tracks send to you via radio or on other entertainment crap. BTW: Easter egg for Christmas? Really?
First of all I live in the EU. Second ESA launches are seldomly national news. The completion of Gallileo or the Mars crash are news and if course SpaceX launches, but all the regular launches of Arianespace are not mentioned and if they are it is a 1 minute report.
Great idea, trampoline launches. Anyway, the Boing company is of course the correct spelling of Boeing according to the smartphone spell checker. Therefore, this is a good example of to dumb to check the text before sending.
Most desktops and notebooks are not used for programming. Really we are a small, tiny, insignificant little group of people. Therefore, your need for a PC is not the dominant need.
Beide SpaceX others are launching rockets in a regular basis. For example, Boing, Arianespace, the Russians, China and India. However, you rarely hear about their accomplishments, but when SpaceX launches something it is in the press. Looks to me as good marketing.
Under that assumption the Apollo program also 100% success, as Apollo 1 was also just in testing mode. SpaceX lost payload. Therefore, this counts as loss.
There are good and bag government regulations. Therefore, not all protect me. However, let say I live in a country with general health care, I have not to attach resources to this issue and I have not to bother whether I can afford the insurance. Therefore, I can concentrate on other things. If there are laws which make the town safer (e.g., social stuff which limits the need to rob people) I can enjoy walking home at night. That is very liberating.

I habe even more dignity. That is why I let others drive. Much more comfortable. Really what has dignity to do what mode of transportation I use?

This is totally beside the point and you know it.

Didn't explode a rocket on the launchpad recently? How do you come up with 100% success rate?
For public relations that was a great stunt. Otherwise nothing extraordinary.
