I'm working for a project in southern Germany where we do just that.
The grid operator pays 50% of any battery installed. It's only for one small village right now, and we hope it will grow.

Pardon my ignorance. What does it do?

This joke is just Hitlarious!
No but seriously, all these Nazi puns are out of mein kampfort zone.

If you want to limit it to just the Holocaust, then Goebbels was guilty of (at least) being a co-conspirator in the deaths of 12 million people. This includes 6 million Jews and 6 million other people (political prisoners, gypsies, etc.).

No, it usually does not. The typical definition of "Holocaust" is the genocide of 6 million Jews. Screw the other 5M+ people. They weren't chosen by god, and were just Gypsies or homos.
Ask people about the Nazi genocide. Almost nobody knows/mentions the other half of the victims.

You're right, anyone in their right mind wouldn't fall for this scam.
But I suppose that parents who lost their 2 year old kid after a long and painful illness aren't exactly in their right mind.

You know, much similar to the end of the world, or global warming will cause the earth to have no ice caps by 2000(said in early 70s and again in the 90s), or the arctic ocean will be free of ice by 2010(early 80s), or New York City will be like Ft. Lauderdale by 1995(said in late 60s).

Yeah, and smoking is supposedly bad for my health. I smoke 20 cigarettes/day, and I didn't die neither yesterday nor today.

There you go.
All those have been implemented for a *long* time in Photoshop.
The biggest ones for me are Filter/Adjustment layers and Layer effects.
More integrated RAW support and 16-bit/channel would also be good.

The language is called French. We invented it, you ruined it.

PS: This could be a long thread.

Oklahoma-sized area, hectares, square miles?
For people using non-retarded units, this area is a bit smaller than 60 angstromkiloparsecs

Things are always changing an environmentally we (meaning the Earth) are a LOT better off now than we were back in the 60s/70s for example. Especially when the Soviets were in their heyday they were absolutely a massive force for destruction we probably will not see the like of again. The stuff going on these days is really pretty minimal in comparison, which is why some eco-groups try to drum up fear, because they care more about maintaining funding than they do the environment.

Citation needed.
"The stuff going on these days" include global warming and peak oil. They're far from being "pretty minimal", and I'd even argue that mankind never faced bigger challenges.

You say "Observational evidence", I say "Our models are wrong".

For my next exam, if I get x==3 as a result and I know it should be x==100, I'll just define dark_x = 97.
Done!

Yeah, GP doesn't really get the second law of thermodynamics.

What?
You cannot masturbate while driving a diesel car in France?
I'm shocked.
