Railway companies employ lots of people. For example Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) employs 240 thousand, SNCF (French Railways) employs 165 thousand, and RZhD (Russian Railways) employs 1.3 million (!!!) people.
Perhaps you should consider switching the software then because my software actually tells me the way to go. On the passenger seat display down it is still loud enough.
You see, if you were only one endangered by your own reckless driving, noone would give a fuck. And also, if all you can see is the road and the horizon in front of you doesn't mean that you haven't missed something.
No such thing here in Germany. You've got to take mandatory driving lessons, including city driving, interstate and highway, and night driving, altogether at least 11 hours for class B driving license.
There is a video on youtube with a crash test of some nineties Renault Espace and a modern one. Same outcome as with this crash test. Modern cars are much safer.
The Maxim gun was first used by Britain's colonial forces in the First Matabele War in 1893-1894. In one engagement, 50 soldiers fought off 5,000 warriors with just four Maxim guns.

The airborne troopers were attacked by a coordinated and well-armed force of between 200 and 400 mujahideen. Attacks were made from two directions, indicating that the assailants may have been assisted by rebels trained in Pakistan.
[..]
The first attack at 1530 on January 7 was followed by 11 more attacks until just before dawn on January 8, when the mujahideen withdrew, leaving Hill 3234 still in the hands of the Soviet paratroopers. The exhausted and mostly wounded Soviets were nearly out of ammunition after the final attack and might not have been able to withstand a further assault.
The Soviet forces sustained 34 casualties (out of a force of 39 men), including 6 men killed and 28 injured.
Overwhelming numbers don't work against superior firepower and superior training.
There still are some improvements there over the WM6.1
The only Windows Mobile that truly absolutely sucked was 5.0. It was in fact so bad, that people rather installed the first, crash-prone and nearly unusable WM6.0 alpha builds onto their devices.
As a duct tape programmer, I strongly disagree.

The Duct Tape Programmer
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Well, I am - more or less - a duct tape programmer, coming from the embedded field of work.
Two months ago I took a Java training course, never bothered to learn the language right before. One of the students at the training was a woman in her mid-forties, former quality assurance, with a wish to develop software. Last time she has written real code by her self was at the university 20 years ago. After that she only has read other people's code, tested it, found bugs there.
After a couple of days of introducing Java and the whole OOP concept, the teacher gave us some exercise. I don't remember what it was exactly now. What I do remember is that I hacked some code together, not bad at all, with lots of features, much more than it was needed, but since I was so fast, I was very smug about it.
Then the teacher showed my code to all students first, said it was a pretty nice solution with some tricks he never had thought of. Then he showed us her code. That woman had neatly written the task down first, planned everything carefully on paper and then implemented it, with lots of comments and an extremely clean and well-engineered code. Her solution wasn't quite as sophisticated as mine, but the code was so much more readable...
The teacher said that such code was the way to go, and as smug as I was over my solution, I had to admit that her job was much better done. Sure, features are great but clean, maintainable and well-planned code trumps in long term.
The whole thing is a bit strange. The first id 3d shooter - Wolfenstein 3D - was seizured two years after it came out, selling of the game was forbidden. Spear of Destiny, though, was just forbidden to sold openly, to minors, and to advertise for (like porn), but years after it came out, although the difference between the original Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny is only minor.
The German versions of Indiana Jones games were modified, all swastika was deleted from the games. The Indiana Jones movies weren't censored at all, as far as I remember, so it must be okay in the historical context of the movies, but it seems to be different for video games.
Absolutely not. The Indiana Jones games were very well-sold here in Germany, especially together with the Bestseller Games magazine. This was the way I've got to play "The Fate of Atlantis" in first place.

It absolutely doesn't matter, whom to blame, because all of those products come with "no warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied".
Dude, I do know how to play the guitar, I even used to play in a small Pink Floyd tribute band some years ago.
That was only a sarcastic remark.
Not really, as Sid Vicious has proven times and times again.
Those guys actually play music with it.

Wrong.

Wake up!
When you are parking, no one can forbid you to use your mobile phone.
I do. You've got that word "incredibly" before the wrong adjective, but otherwise the description is correct.
As you should do it in all cases - park your car, enter the destination, wait for the route calculation, go on driving.

Please, read carefully.
My second example was about insurgents in Afghanistan.
Not really.

Can't be, because there is no charge for awesomeness.

People still using IE6 aren't a target group for another browser anyway so it is a moot point.
Absolutely not. The Indiana Jones games were very well-sold here in Germany, especially together with the Bestseller Games magazine.

It doesn't even go that far. Nazi symbols are only forbidden when they aren't shown in a historical context.
I wasn't born in Germany.
