You are about 30 years behind the times. While Germany has no universal speed limit and stopping is illegal everywhere on the Autobahn, they have speed restrictions on a growing number of sections. Currently about 35% of the Autobahn system has speed limits, which in practice means that you have unregulated sections interrupted by short stretches limited to 100 or 120 kph. If you care about speed limits, the times when you could dial in cruise control at 170 kph are mostly over. In many places where the highway is damaged, instead of repairing it, they stick an 80 or 100 kph sign on it and call it a day.

In fact accident rates in Germany are now higher than in the neighbouring countries which have universal speed limits, precisely because speed limits in Germany come in short stretches and you end up accelerating and decelerating a lot. A universal speed limit at 130 kph would probably lead to better traffic flow.

Actually the mandatory intermediary period is usually more than 1 week (usually at least a month), and the reason is very pragmatic: if a child is born, it needs to be clear who is the father.

As you've already discovered, among various Islamic schools of theology there is vigorous disagreement about whether mut'ah is permitted or not. The most prominent distinction is that among Shiites it's mostly permitted and among Sunnis mostly forbidden, but there are Sunni communities there are some who practice mut'ah as well. Like with most details of Islamic law, people will have strong normative opinions. Instead of looking at the wide variety of things that Muslims are actually practicing in the world, they will claim that their opinion represents the whole of Islam and that everybody else is wrong. Since every side can draw on 1400 years' of theological debate to show that they are right and you aren't, and at the base of it there are texts that can be interpreted in different wys, but are considered sacred and must not be questioned, this kind of debate tends to degenerate very quickly.

"There have been some articles about automatic KeePass updates being vulnerable. This section clarifies the situation and its resolution.

First of all, we would like to note that KeePass cannot update itself. KeePass does support checking for updates (optional; by downloading a version information file, comparing the available with the installed version number, and displaying a notification if necessary). However, it neither downloads nor installs any new version automatically. Users have to do this manually.

KeePass can be downloaded from many servers (SourceForge with its many mirror servers, FossHub, etc.). In order to make sure that the downloaded file is official, users should check whether the file is digitally signed (Authenticode; all KeePass binaries are signed, including the installer, KeePass.exe and all other EXE and DLL files). The digital signature can be checked using Windows Explorer by right-clicking the file -> 'Properties' -> tab 'Digital Signatures'. When running the installer, the UAC dialog displays the digital signature information, i.e. users who carefully read the UAC dialog do not have to inspect the file properties separately. This is recommended for all users, independent of where you download KeePass from.

The KeePass website links to SourceForge for downloading KeePass. However, even if SourceForge (or the KeePass website) is compromised and serves a malicious download, users who check the digital signature will notice the attack and will not run the malware. Note that HTTPS cannot prevent a compromise of the download server; checking the digital signature does.

The version information file is downloaded from the KeePass website over HTTP. Thus a man in the middle (someone who can intercept your connection to the KeePass website) could have returned an incorrect version information file, possibly making KeePass display a notification that a new KeePass version is available. However, the next steps (downloading and installing the new version) must be carried out by the user manually, and here users who check the digital signature will notice the attack.

Resolution. In order to prevent a man in the middle from making KeePass display incorrect version information (even though this does not imply a successful attack, see above), the version information file is now digitally signed (using RSA-2048 and SHA-512). KeePass 2.34 and higher only accept such a digitally signed version information file. This solution is more secure than just using HTTPS, because it guarantees version information safety even when the webserver is compromised (the private key for signing the version information is not stored on the webserver)."

Let's put some of that right:

• the main problem on New Year's Eve in Cologne was (a) inadequate policing near the cathedral where the assaults happened, and (b) that the police tried to cover this up in their initial report. Cologne police already has a bad reputation for cover-ups and various incidents, there have been calls for police reform in Cologne for a while now.
• as for the "media being silent for a week": New Year's Eve was a Thursday; Friday January 1 was a public holiday, followed by a weekend, so that most media outlets were severely understaffed and initially relied on the police reports. Cologne itself has two local newspapers: Kölner Express and Kölner Stadtanzeiger. "Express" is a tabloid and initially copied the police report. "Stadtanzeiger" had detailed coverage on the events in their first issue after the events, on Saturday January 2. As soon as it became clear that the police report was untrustworthy, other media got up to speed, and their issues of Monday and Tuesday January 4-5 (three to four days after the facts) were full of reports. Now that is still a long time, but not "silent for a week" and clearly not silenced from above.
• after that, mainstream media were full of op-eds and detailed pieces analyzing how it could happen that this was reported so late (again, 3-4 days), with lots of self-criticism (that you seem to to have read, chosen to ignore, or chosen not to believe).
• there are a lot of conspiracy theorists around who believe that the media "are controlled from above", are "silenced" etc.. These people have a strangely linear, vertical, and antiquated understanding of how German redactions work. These people are also stuck in the 1990s in that they completely ignore the boom of media outlets that has happened with the appearance of social media in general. It is now next to impossible to completely silence the media on any issue, because iany single person who were to be silenced and disagrees about it, immediately has lots of other outlets. The price for that is that on those outlets there is a bad signal/noise ratio and a lot of shit floating around (so reputation does matter).
• we are in a situation in Germany now where right-wing hate crimes (physical attacks up to murder and arson) are on the rise and are outnumbering other ideologically motivated crime, including left-wing and religious extremists, by a wide margin. This is in spite of the tendency of police and conservative politicians to be "blind on the right eye" - left-wing crime historically gets persecuted more extensively in Germany because of the history of left-wing terrorism of the 1970s. We have a major neo-Nazi problem in Germany now that is coming from below, and mostly (but not exclusively) from the east.
• as an expresson of this trend towards the right, German Facebook in particular has become full a lot of right-wing sentiment that sometimes takes very ugly expressions. It's not only "concerned citizens", some of these people are actually stating that they intend to murder someone, or calling other people to do it. Like it or not, under German law this is a crime, and these people are not only sick fucks, they are also criminals. Now for the last few years, we were in the strange situation that Facebook would censor pictures of nipples, but would not censor openly neo-Nazi statements calling to set fire to immigrant dormitories. All that is happening now is that Facebook is starting to realize that there is a problem - with the law as well as with its own reputation - and is starting to react and to follow the law.
• German neo-Nazis are realizing that times are changing, and have now started to move from Facebook to other social networks, mostly to VKontakte (a Russian social network). Let's see how long that will work out.

Replying to undo accidental "Offtopic" moderation.

Actually no. This is just the English words "online" and "site" (not "sale") transliterated into the Cyrillic script. A lot of languages that are written in the Cyrillic alphabet use "online" and "site" as loan words from English, the new TLDs will fit all of them.
