If you're claiming that one has to carry the Ausweis or the passport on one's person, then you're wrong.
In any case, you're a cute one.

Only partially true.
It is only mandatory to be able to identify yourself.
Whether you do this with a Personalausweis or a Reisepass ("passport") is up to you.
Unless you require a passport for your travels, the Personalausweis is the cheaper alternative.

I'd rather talk to Jehovah's Witnesses than vegans. In my experience they're a lot friendlier than vegan cunts.

Then it's time for you to grow again and judging by your behaviour you still have a lot of growing to do.
Don't misinterpret my apparent lack of arguments. It's merely a lack of interest in debating with you.
You obviously believe that your opinion is the gospel and people who disagree with you are mentally challenged.
I wonder why you feel the need to win a debate with someone who's mentally challenged. After all, you clearly have no issues.

I find it very amusing that you feel the need to attack me instead of simply accepting that not everyone is like you and that your inane generalisation is simply wrong. Clearly I'm the psychopath. In words I'm sure you'll understand "2/10 would chuckle again".

Right.
You already had me convinced when you had to capitalise "more" but you totally blew my mind when you said that it's totally true.
Totally foolish otherwise, bro. Totally didn't understand a single word before but I'm totally enlightened now. Totally thankful.

Just buy some 99.9% pure isopropanol and some distilled water. 5L cost like 10-15EUR here and last a long time.
Then submerge the keyboard or spray it with a 70-80% isopropanol/distilled water solution and let it dry.

From the C++11 standard:
The contents of header <cinttypes> are the same as the Standard C Library header <inttypes.h>, with
the following changes:
- the header <cinttypes> includes the header <cstdint> instead of <stdint.h>, and
- if and only if the type intmax_t designates an extended integer type (3.9.1), the following function
signatures are added:
intmax_t abs(intmax_t);
imaxdiv_t div(intmax_t, intmax_t);
which shall have the same semantics as the function signatures intmax_t imaxabs(intmax_t) and
imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t, intmax_t), respectively.

I'm curious about the Kindle but some reviews I've read on amazon claim that its display size and its weak zoom function make it useless for typical university books (mathematics, computer science).
I have no first-hand experience, so could someone here enlighten me whether it's a viable alternative to paper?
Microsoft Dumps Partner For Fake Support Call Scam 212
An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has broken its relationship with one of its Gold Partners, after it discovered that the partner was involved in a scam involving bogus tech support calls. India-based Comantra is said to have cold-called computer users in the UK, Australia, Canada and elsewhere, claiming to offer assistance in cleaning up virus infections. The calls used scare tactics to talk users into opening the Event Viewer on Windows, where a seemingly dangerous list of errors would be seen. This 'evidence' was used to trick innocent users into believing they had a malware infection, and for Comantra to gain the users' confidence. Duped users would then give permission for the support company to have remote access to their PC, and hand over their credit card details for a 'fix.' Security firm Sophos says that internet users have been complaining about Comantra's activities for over 18 months, and it has taken a long time for Microsoft to take action. Comantra's website still retains the Gold Certified Partner logo, although their details have been removed from Microsoft's database of approved partners."
