Exactly. There are far more lonely men than women and women are lonely often because of their own decision and not because they cannot find anyone. There are also very successful males who have got some kind of a harem. Hugh Hefner is a prime example.
The old joke demonstrates this pretty well:
Boy: I have a dick, and you dun have! Girl: My mother said, when I grow up, I can have as many as I want
I always speak only for myself. But I've also got modded as a troll just because I admitted that I actually like Windows Mobile. Or that for my personal application area iPhone sucks compared to even a HTC Himalaya. Or that I nowadays prefer C# over C because I feel that C leads to a shoddy and insecure programming style.
I am neither a troll nor a Microsoft shill nor a stupid noob. I develop software for a living since 2002 and started programming almost 20 years ago.
Yes, this is offtopic but I honestly don't care, I've hit the karma cap years ago when you could still see karma points.
It is more powerful alright. But it is also a mess of layers ontop of layers which makes the system slow and unrespondable because of the huge overhead. It is also like a huge corporation with lots of management layers - clearly arranged when looking at the whole, but difficult to understand from inside and very slow. It is IMHO more efficient to combine the small modules in a larger and more generic ones.
But as I already mentioned, it is just an opinion.
I've grown up a bit since then and had to develop for Linux not as a hobby but for money. Nowadays I prefer less work and more comfort to be honest. Unfortunately honesty gets a -1 Troll here nowadays.
In lots of markets it really has. I am working in the field of vehicle telematics and Windows CE/Mobile is huge in this market. Also, before iPhone Windows Mobile had a huge chunk of the PDA phone market for years.
Not all Diesel cars have got a particle filter. I am not sure about the BMW Mini but German car makers were very late to implement this tech and lobbied the government not to make them compulsory for years.
I don't. Even European Diesel fuel doesn't burn that clean. I rather hope for HCCI engines (a fuel-gasoline mix compressed and preheated to the point of auto-ignition). Those engines combine the fuel economy of a Diesel engine with the gasoline engine like emissions.
Yes, even 25 kg matter. Also you need to add a particle filter. And 30% efficiency isn't true (alone because Diesel fuel has got higher energy content), especially if compared to the Atkinson cycle gasoline engine.
I am from Germany and don't really care about the US market. And anyway, the question was, why there aren't any Diesel hybrids so the battery pack and electric motor are there in both cases.
Slashdot Mirror
Also Russian tanks starting from T-64B can shoot missiles from their cannons.
I worked for Tieto for a while and it really depends on the location.
there is always debug.exe ;-)
I know you are joking but as a guitarist I can say you are wrong. Even with calluses on the fingertips you can feel the nuances.

Not really. Women don't evolve that much because they have got no selective pressure - there is more demand than there is supply for females.
Trust me, it does. At least when blood flows. Still have some scars.
Dude, when Russia was still an empire, many more people died of starvation, and at the same time Russia was a large grain exporter.
Debugging is actually extremly comfortable if you develop with .NET and visual studio.

Your old car weighs 1700 kg. A W221 which is of the same class but is a modern car weighs two tons in a Diesel version.
Short form: think before you reply.
If you weren't lazy, you would have seen that it was actually me who has answered that question.
You didn't knew that?
Dude, get off your high horse. I know what I am talking about, I used to work for the automotive industry directly and still work for it indirectly.

Yeah. I love using command prompt on a touch screen only device. It really makes me productive.

But then again, so is Cobol.
which was fine for terminal applications 30+ years ago.
AdBlue. This is standard for newer European lorries and buses.
