It is not Timothy, it is the submitter. Just read his comment history, you will see what I mean.

I think you are confusing value and price. It is not the same thing at all.

So when businesses use the advantages of globalisation, then it is good and fine and harms noone. But when customers do the same, then it is totally evil.

And this is also bullshit. I live in Germany, but I prefer my games in English (or whatever the "native" language of the game was provided I speak that language) since there is always some translation loss.

Stanley Milgram proved you wrong long ago.

Both is not quite a desktop environment, which exactly was the GP's point. Besides, your use cases are a tiny minority.

Frankfurt is indeed full of cars. Still the public transport is full of people. By the way, I was faster from Offenbach center to Frankfurt center on my mountain bike than a Ferrari that really rushed from traffic light to traffic light.

Well, except for BMW, all the brands you have listed belong to the same company. That might be the explanation.

I do play games - sometimes - Deus Ex 3 right now. But never on the phone - it is just not comfortable for that. Emails and the browser are different, been using these on my phone ever since Windows Mobile 2003.

Not exactly failed. Russia still owns a big chunk of Karelia.

And all of them are used for 3d games? I don't think so.
I own four Android phones. Not a single one is used for gaming in any way.

You have stated that you just have used Pascal in some college courses. This is not what I would call "experienced". I've been writing code in both Pascal and C for many years, Pascal is more readable hands down. C looks like a character salad in comparison. It was clearly meant to be used on teletype terminals where you had to be sparse with letters. That was fair for the day, but we are living in the 21th century now.

Engine noise, especially when the PTO is activated, is far louder than beeping. You can hear it clearly when a hybrid garbage truck picks up garbage. It is almost silent and the beeper seems far less obnoxious.

I had a dual pentium motherboard with eisa slots once, made by Asus iirc. Used to sit in a server of a German content management software company.

Let me know when Sweden's health insurance is welcomed by German doctors.

They are. EHIC is, in fact, honoured in the whole EU for treatments that need to be done while being in another EU country. The insurance can also cover for a non-acute treatment abroad (for example cheaper dentists in the Czech Republic), but one has to get an acknowledgment from the insurance first.

You want to fix healthcare, make the price paid the same for everyone, and pricing is upfront (as can be allowed). Let the user know exactly what the Knee Scope is going to run before surgery.

Back to the 19th century? Universal health care was introduced because the kind of healthcare you describe didn't work.
