It doesn't even have to be that extreme. Many of the routine emails at work have atrocious spelling and grammar, and I can't help but wonder if the bosses (who tend to be a bit older and have some kind of education) don't notice that too. I can't imagine an upper level manager writing messages like this. So, not being able to write means a hard career ceiling.
Most of your tuition is paid for by the good taxpayers of Germany who presumably view a well-educated citizenry as an overall win relative to the cost involved.
...as opposed to the US, where you can be successful despite being uneducated. Just look at some leading politicians... as opposed to e.g. Angela Merkel, who is a Physics PhD.
It is heavily politicized in the US (and a few more conservative/reactionary corners of the world) because so much money has been poured into denialist propaganda. Everywhere else, politicians look at the science and say, "OK, what do we need to do to mitigate the damage?"
If you trust anybody external with your data you're asking for trouble. If it gets off your LAN in unencrypted form it's out. It doesn't matter if it's Google, Microsoft, Iron Mountain or anybody else.
what Google had was an internal system that could pull limited amounts of account information to comply with law enforcement requests, not a backdoor that gave access to the account in question.
What's the difference? You can be sure that the LEA access method allows access to everything that's interesting, in particular the content of emails. Yeah they would probably not be able to send email from that account and similar mischief but you can be sure they had full read access to everything,
Developers who know what they're doing had it drummed into their heads that they need to watch memory allocation, array boundaries, null pointers, unsafe library functions and the like. The problem is if you hire hordes of less qualified programmers and let them loose on a project that requires low level programming. Unfortunately, anything using C or C++ amounts to low level programming.
You can install it without their crap CD, but it's a PITA because there's zero documentation and you have to discover everything for yourself, if you run Linux for example. But all you need is any browser. The same applies to the majority of home networking gear out there.

Microsoft can and Microsoft shall, that's the price for being at their hands. The reward? To get to use their products.
High tech masochism?
I have a feeling that Loderunner would be difficult to play at 3.2 GHz.
And how much is that in football fields?
Nothing like brainwashing kids to make sure they'll become good Americans (aka Repubs.)
Ha! I learned C++ in 24 hours and now I write security sensitive applications!
We just griped about that.

"It's" == "It is." No exceptions.
The genitive of "it" it "its."

Quite laughing indeed.
When we spend $100 million on a new wind farm, why does $80 million of that go overseas for high-tech design and manufacturing?
Because US subsidies go into things like bio-ethanol and fossil fuels so there's nothing left to incentivize alternative energy?

That quote makes perfect sense to me.
Maybe it's because I understand (a little) Relativity.

Seriously. OK, sometimes the expression becomes a few lines long and at some point I'll write it to a file and fire up vim, but that happens rarely.
Germany and/or Austria used wine for a while after the big scandal about wine adulterated with illegal sweeteners like ethylene glycol.
And it's beneficial for women:

"No money none of the time" doesn't sound bad to me.

You got it backwards :)

A SSME for free, add some small tankage and off you go. A parachute might be nice too.
Iron Man, you suck!
So what would a SSME strapped to a light chassis do on a quarter mile?
Extensions were broken from day one. You only need to look at the fact that they are bound to specific versions for proof of that.
Just like Linux kernel drivers :P
If you have a powerful API it's going to change so you'll have version dependencies.
If you want a stable API you have to sacrifice features.
I have a feeling there's room for both models, the current one and simple JS+HTML+CSS only extensions.
