A dangerous proposition. Some might counter it by questioning just how much the Philae's mission was really "necessary", and not just huge waste of funds and resources.

Or probably because world wants to push scientists to find alternatives?

Anyway. Nuclear power is one of those "not in my backyard" things. It's good - as long you live far enough from it. You do not "fear" it, unless it actually hits you. (And I am saying this as a person who as a child actually lived in the ex-USSR's area mildly affected by disaster of Chernobyl.)

If old KGB tales are to be believed, the secret services have subtle ways of communicating to each other such things.

The main purpose of such communication is to avoid (A) diplomatic scandals and (B) bilateral witch hunts.

In one of the documentaries about the Cold War time, a retired KGB agent was telling that one ways is to start almost openly tailing the compromised agents.

From description, it sounds like the AppArmor.

The perldelta mentions that there were a number of fixes/enhancements to floating point numbers handling implemented.

I'm not sure why the hex fp (a rather obscure feature) was singled out for the summary.

I know I'm in minority, but this is plain bullshit.

Google continuously pumping "releases" is what causes the fragmentation.

There are just too many "releases" of Android.

It is fine to pop 2-3 releases a year - if you are niche player targeted at geeks. But it is not, if you want to serve near billion users of several thousand different device types.

People who put drug dealers away might be actually enlightened. At least they deserve our thanks.

Drug dealers OTOH are definitely "clever beasts" who envision themselves "at the top of the animal kingdom".

I do think life sentence is excessive. But I think that some people have quite idealistic view on the criminals.

Women manipulate men, film at 11.

Do you even have an experience with such malware ridden installers?

The creators abuse every possible linguistic trick on the book to confuse the user about what s/he had selected and what is going to be installed. Sometimes even blatantly lying and claiming that something will not work properly if you choose not to install the optional "performance enhancer".

I had to deal once with such installer for a freebie game, which was bundled with 5(?) pieces of malware. Luckily for me it was an InstallShield which was showing a summary screen of what is going to be installed before doing anything. I had to go through the install wizard three times before the summary screen was showing that only the game itself would be installed. The last one was the trickiest: in description they used effectively triple negative and user had to actually check the box to not to install the malware.

A nifty infographic.

One average contributor.

You are even behind Italy, which is telling.

The most politically and economically aligned with USA country in the EU is UK.

UK even used several times its veto right - in matters it even didn't participate initially at all - because the regulations had threatened USA's business in EU (not even related to UK!).

It might seem different in the UK, but outside the bubble everyone knows that UK is the willing whore of the USA. You have established the fact with many actions over the past decades.

I wonder if UK has any friends at all. USA?

Otherwise, I have started that thread precisely because I think that removing people like you from the EU would make it a better place.

Thanks for the sane perspective.

Though part of the problem is that even if UK decides to leave the EU, it would still have to stay in the common market. It would give up the political power, while still forced - by market - to adhere to most regulations. At least if comments here have any truth to them.

Have you actually read past the headline?

Let me translate for you: about 40Bln€ of German tax payer's money didn't have to go into paying the interest on Germany's public debt.

IOW, Germany saved so much of tax payer's money over these years.

This are (in part) my money - not yours. Stop counting my money.

The Sun and The Daily Mail I have excused a long time ago. But I have been reading them just for the cheap thrill of batshit crazy tabloid "news". Anyway, occasional overload of "nazi" jokes made sure that I will not read much of them anyway.

But then my "trusty" Financial Times also slowly turned sour. And when FT goes bad... I do not even want to think about it anymore.

You do realize that Germany pays the biggest amount of money into the EU budget?

You do know that Germany gets very very little in return?

Please educate yourself before whining.

And how do you think one make a continent without wars?

...

Imagine what would happen to EU, when all of its members started acting like UK.

That's pretty much the recipe how you start a war. And that is why UK has to go, IMO.

P.S. Beginning of the EU.
