Parent post is clearly underrated.
Case studies show otherwise, majority of easter Ukrainian population does not want to be part of Russia (take pretty much any non-Russian case study), don't buy this anonymous shit please.
Eastern Ukrain is predominantly Russian speaking, but so is the capital.
So, 40Hz aside, how many were lucid if no current was applied? I mean being woke up in REM phase surely helps.
Exchanging documents between OpenOffice and MsOffice is a major pain on the OO side, regardless of the distribution you take.
Regardless, my point was: it's old news, it didn't succeed.
Open Source Advocates Angry at German Gov't Decision
May 13, 2011
The German Foreign Office first started using Linux as a server platform in 2001 before making Linux and open source software their default desktop choice in 2005. Most observers thought the move a success. However, the government will now transition back to Windows XP, to be followed by Windows 7, also dropping OpenOffice and Thunderbird in favor of MS Office and Outlook.
Except this box doesn't require monthly subscription to play online (both PS4/Xbone do) or visit youtube / use a web browser (Xbone).
And 35% by 2020 is also quite achievable.
Germany's renewable energy sector is among the most innovative and successful worldwide. The share of electricity produced from renewable energy in Germany has increased from 6.3 percent of the national total in 2000 to about 25 percent in the first half of 2012.[1][2] In 2011 20.5% (123.5 TWh) of Germany's electricity supply (603 TWh) was produced from renewable energy sources, more than the 2010 contribution of gas-fired power plants.[3][4] In 2010, investments totaling 26 billion euros were made in Germany’s renewable energies sector. Germany has been called "the world's first major renewable energy economy".[5]
Siemens chief executive, Peter Löscher believes that Germany’s target of generating 35 per cent of its electricity from renewables by 2020 is achievable – and, most probably, profitable for Europe’s largest engineering company.

As far as replacing gasolin goes, USA is actually not doing bad at all, actually pioneering it in some areas. E.g. E85:

Arduino is just a microcontroller with some IO ports, PI is a full blown computer that runs Linux.
And invading neighbors is relaxing indeed.
This time, unlike 2008 when downplaying it and getting back to business as usual was as easy as setting up Tagliavini commission, it's a breach of treaty from 1997, where US, UK, AND RUSSIA stated they'd respect AND DEFEND Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. That was the reason Ukrain said no to nuclear weapons (which it has plenty, along with the rockets).
Now ponder how well did Chamberlain style negotiation worked with Hitler's depressed Germany.
And would China, that unexpectedly did not support Russia in UN this time, intervene?
And if it is a war, it won't be just US, it would be a joint EU + USA and (likely Canada, Australia, Japan too) vs Russia.
China has no interest whatsoever in supporting Putin and needs countries to export goods to.
Nobody asked me whether I'd prefer BluRay or HD-DVD.
Some media giants decided to which platform to jump, and platform with most weight won.
And please, don't mix me into this.
Most money in this area is spent on "tailor made" "for this company only" projects, makes no sense to copy them.
On the other hand we have HTC paying Microsoft for every Android phone they sell because MS managed to patent insane shit like "showing icon in the loading area of the browser".
No, thanks.
