Well, there is quite a bit of tax in that price (although 36 cent is a bit high, I pay about 28 $ cent) and clearly, you cannot switch to renewable energy, without huge investments and that money should come from somewhere.

Note that gasoline is also quite expensive in Germany (again, taxes).
1 liter of 95 ROZ ("Eurosuper") costs about 1.45Euro, i.e. about $6.22 per gallon

2030 commitment implies 2020 commitment (as you are not expected to get there overnight)
Besides, there already is 2020 commitment (EU):

https://ec.europa.eu/energy/en...

Germany is already beyond that, though, with 30%+ of electricity coming from renewable sources (as of 2014).

Nuclear power in Germany
In 2001 a law was passed requiring the closing of all nuclear power plants within a period of 32 years. The shutdown time was extended to 2040 by a new government in 2010. After the Fukushima incident, the law was abrogated and the end of nuclear energy was set to 2022

Renewable energy in Germany
Net-generation from renewable energy sources in the German electricity sector has increased from 6.3% in 2000 to about 30% in 2014

Renewable sources:
40% - wind
30% - biomass
16% - solar
14% - hydropower

There are countries which are way ahead of Germany in this regard, for instance, Sweden.

Compared to USA where they are paying 10k+ (several times more than that in top universities) that's still very cheap.

FX-9590 is the fastest AMD CPU you can buy and it is on par with i7 4770k. (as usual, behind in single threaded test, ahead in multi-threaded tests)
http://cpuboss.com/cpu/AMD-FX-...
It IS faster than i5, if you are after multi-threaded load.
On top of it, it has margin corresponding to "my fastest processor".
It has no GPU.

Your choice of CPUs to compare reviewed i5 to is questionable, to say the least.
A10 APUs that were reviewed by Anandtech, cost half/third of Intel's, yet are within 20% performance wise.

While computers are fundamental, programming them is not.

Except that's not just a belief, but results of the studies.
The fact that grown ups are different is clear (although studied as well), but there was a theory about all that being a result of society influence, so scientiest went far into early stages.

Couple of month old babies were examined: girls tended to choose humans, boys tended to choose "things".

Then there was a doubt, that, oh well, maybe those babies were already "spoiled" by the society, so someone went as far as to check one-two day old kids.

Boys were interested in things, girls in human faces. (I didn't know kids could see at that age).

Another studies: increased levels of testesteron have a very clear impact on kids development:
1) it will take longer to learn to speak
2) it will have greater interest for "things" mechanisms etc.

There are numerous studies showing that:
1) girls/women do better on average
2) boys/men are overly represented in both top and bottom parts

Which suddenly explains why Nobel laureats are mostly men, and, cough, CEOs too.

Interest rates also reflect... opportunities.
In fact, German banks feared not that money would not be returned.
In fact, they were giving money to an already bancrupt state, knowing, that Merkel and Co will not let much harm happen to them.

Georgia (Republic of) did came of better, thanks to IMF.
After war with Russia in 2008 and subsequent econimical crisis all over the world, Georgia got money to compensate for harsh decline in foreign direct investment and quickly recovered.

I dislike current populist Greek government (and live in Germany), but there is some injustice in what was done to Greece in my opinion.
Greece f*cked up big time by spending more than earning, there is no question about that.
The problem is, what happened afterwards.
And that was new loans AT INSANE RATES.
Last time I've checked check dept per citizen numbers, Greek was roughly on the level of Germany.
But interest rates they are paying (and that mostly to German banks), oh my goodness:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

So there IS a combination of incompetent reckless government and unfair interest rates. (yeah, if you don't want the money, don't take it, yadayada, I know)

Germany stll pays Israel.
Germany "kinda" paid USSR that took most factories it came by.
Germany actually also paid Greece a while ago, although the scale of the payment was nowhere near what current government wants (and even (nominally) much less than they took from Greek bank)

German reparations for World War II/

I missed how you jumped from parents influencing kids choices, to 50/50 parity being the natural thing, if not discriminated.

There are contrary examples of separated twins in different families which you would not like.

You forgot to elaborate how on earth was this about "access to professions regardless of gender".
The idea that gender disparity can only be caused by some sort of discrimination is based pretty much on religious views and have nothing to do with science.

Men and women are different and TEND TO choose different professions. .

I've actually used demo version of the Oculus Rift.
Also, many of colleagues did.
The things will cause sickness to many, no matter the FPS.

Sony's devs also mentioned it, by the way.
One thing is getting rid of sickness caused by rendering glitches, you could fix that.
But there is inherent sickness caused by your eyes seeing what your vestibular system does not experience.

Bottom line:

1) an obvious example of diminishing returns on modern GPUs, also, go check Dark Sorcerer demo on PS4 (PS4 GPU is roughly between AMD 7850 and AMD 7870)

2) somebody managed to bake yet another article about AMD product, without mentioning AMD
