RISC made sense when silicon real estate has been a premium. Nowadays not so much, hence modern RISC chips have way more instructions than CISC CPUs. Also complex instructions make more sense nowadays, because bandwidth is premium now.
Brits always have been very xenophobic and bigoted and you are a shining example of precisely that. Britain is not really that densely populated (a bit more than Germany) even compared to the rest of the EU (Netherlands, Belgium and Malta are way more densely populated), and compared to places like Japan or South Korea, UK is almost devoid of people.
Insulted for asking? Cameron was holding the whole EU hostage, and for what? Some internal powerplay of the tories. And even then the rest of the EU agreed to give UK not the well deserved finger, but even more rebates, if, and only if, UK remains in the EU. You call that "insulted"?
If the EU had called Cameron a cunt, that would be an insult. And also the truth.
I can promise you, the UK will get much worse trade deals as a result. You are not an empire anymore. Time to wake up.
How can a phone with a glass touchscreen glued to the LCD be called "active"? If it falls, it shatters.
Now the good old Sony Xperia Acro S is an "active" phone. It not only survived several falls into ponds, it also mastered falls onto tarmac and rocks while hiking without shattering, thanks to a very strong plastic touchscreen and the LCD being quite below it. Unfortunately the phone is old and slow.
The russian ending is more like "skiy" phonetically, besides it is not only the ending, but also the "w" letter in the name, which is extensively used in polish, but is very rare in russian transliteration. And, from what I remember from my russian lessons very long ago, even in Russia the "skiy" ending is not that common and is a hint of either polish or gentry ancestors, something like that.
Don't get your hopes up when it comes to Poland, though. They seem to go full retard right now.
That only works if drivers have the same extensive training as pilots. And aren't allowed to drive in rainy or foggy conditions or at night without additional training. And aren't allowed to drive cars that have motors more powerful than 180hp unless they had an additional training. Oh, and aren't allowed to carry more than one passenger without further training. Almost forgot, also aren't allowed to drive on or near the same roads that professional drivers with more extensive licenses are allowed to use.
You seriously underestimate hypoxia. When a decompression happens at cruising altitude, consciousness loss is basically guaranteed after less than a minute, and several minutes at these altitudes without breathing help are lethal. An airframe constantly loses air pressure through the rear bulkhead and it hay to be replenished by the engine compressors (bleed air). Several airplanes losing pressure ended up as flying coffins because the pilots and the passengers suffocated without even realising it.
It is not just that, but also the problem with hypoxia. Inflight the engine compressors provide the cabin pressure. In a detached pod only the oxygen generators would help, and they don't last long, about 12 minutes or so (the emergency descend speed of a modern airplane starts at 100 km/h and is only limited by structural loads). Larger oxygen generators would probably make flying more dangerous.
Of course it is. In fact, it is not just a right, but even a duty to collect taxes to fund it.
If you're going to refer to an document, and use that to justify taxes, you should also realize that that document limits taxation for only two purposes.
"General welfare" is a very nebulous term. You may have a different opinion of what exactly is "general welfare" than the people who are a part of the government, but it doesn't make yo right and them wrong.
I read it all the time.
Then you fail at reading comprehension. It is sad that a German has to explain all these things to you.
Civilization and society doesn't require taxes.
Again, this is just your opinion and not confirmed by facts. All civilised countries collect taxes.
In this case, slavery to the state.
And again that shows that you don't have a grasp of your own language. Slavery is when you are a property that can be owned, sold and damaged and cannot legally leave the servitude. Nothing of it is even remotely comparable to paying taxes.
I keep reading this, but have experienced a problem with ATI drivers only twice: radeon hd 5770 with fallout 3, which was quickly fixed, and early rage fury drivers, but this was around 1999.
self flying plane technology has been around for several decades. even the soviets could do that (tu-123, buran). every cruise missile is a self-flying plane.
I don't need a passport for travelling inside EU. My ID card is sufficient and while it is also biometric nowadays, so far the fingerprints have been optional.
Not quite right. UCI sets a minimum weight of a bike (6.8 kg), but enough technologies exist to make bicycles much lighter than that. If you don't want to compete, you can build a 3.38 kg bicycle, which is half the minimum weight. There are full suspension mountain bikes that come close to the UCI limit FFS. You won't be able to feel the motor inside one of these.

How so? A hebrew daleth doesn't look anything like a triangle.
Free parking is actually quite common for German churches. Here is an example - about 500m away from where I live:

Snowdenski is probably a Pole. Just saying...
UHS-1 has the same minimum specs as class 10.

It is because Boeing autolanding system is shit. Buran had no problems with automatic piloting and landing with a crosswind of 32 knots - near gale.

Stannis? I thought you were dead.
Yes, and people have on average 1.97 legs.

It is even worse here in Germany: an unlicensed copy is called a "robbery copy".

I got a new one a few months ago so I am good for the next 10 years and who knows what happens then.

Personalausweis is also biometric nowadays, but fingerprints are - so far - optional.

*facepalm*
Reisepass is the passport, not Personalausweis. And it definitely has biometric data, that was introduced about 10 years ago.
