No, it's because other grammars reform frequently, while English is very conservative.

Nope. Gender doesn't really change much. (e.g. Georgian not only lacks gender, but even words like he/she/it are the same, yet it's much more complex than English)
Lack of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... , no need to morph words depending on this and that, makes English somewhat simple..
And actually it's got where it's got historically and not because it's easier or harder to use, thanks to British Empire.
Russian is widely used in former Russian Empire, even though it's much more complex to learn. (7 cases AND things have gender AND lots of exceptions in the grammar AND the need to morph words most of the time following puzzling rules)
Dolphin Browser shit (it was reporting sites you visit to their ad server) affected both Android and iOS, however:
1) Media only talked about it affecting Android
2) It were actually Android users, who checked and caught it
Compaq was afraid to use AMD chips given out for free, because Intel would "retaliate", ok?
What kept AMD's market share low was not "clever marketing" of its competitor, it's crime.
Back in P4 Prescott times, Intel's more expensive, more power hungry, yet slower chip outsold AMD's 3 or 4 to 1.
Not being able to profit even when having superior products, it's really astonishing, to see AMD still afloat.
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.
