it's LASER as long as you pronounce it "ell ey ess ee ar". What, you dont? Then why dont you stop nitpicking, and just accept that at some point, a pronouneable acronym becomes a new word.

Nice downvoting of someone who states things obvious to everybody except circlejacking dudebros like you guys.

Parent deserves some upvotes.

I dont know how much you gave them, but it seems it was less than the amount required to get you into one of the betas. And I dont remember there being a tier for "I want to get a pre-release demo"

So, you did not get what you did not pay for.

But maybe I just didnt read your whining thoroughly enough.
So, what is your *real* problem again? Them saying "hey you could still be a beta tester for $$" ?

The notion that "portraying men as muscled killing machines" is a kind of sexism has not yet arrived in the mainstream.
Which tells you interesting things about our society.

Still: women are more likely to be displayed in roles perceived as *de*grading, whereas men are portrayed with attributes perceived as positive (strength, power, etc). So the problem of sexism against females should get priority imho.

Wat. How will having a private entity help with non-biased labeling?

My take on it as well.

There is a lights arms race on the streets. I wonder if we already passed the point of "more is safer".

Yes. For me it's three.

Mostly, I'm using the Neo2 layout. When gaming, I use the standard German qwertz layout, and sometimes I have to use US English. It takes time getting used to it, but once you've mastered a layout, you're fine on ANY DEVICE.

The problem I see here is that the X1, by re-positioning or abandoning physical keys, effectively forces you to not only know 3 different layouts, but 3*2 = 6. Great.

(Plus, with the caps lock key gone, I'd have to hack Neo2 to get the 3rd level switch on the home or end key, blegh.)

Only? 2M informants is no more than 0.2% of the population.

Compare that to the East German Stasi, who had ~0.5% full time on their payrolls (about 100k of 16M ppl), plus ~3% of unpaid whisperers...

Yes, lignite. Insane as it seems, there are still villages being razed in Germany for lignite strip mining.

As it is, Vattenfall is the most destructive Swedish force in Germany since Gustav Adolf.

depends on the type of crime, i guess.

i know that at least homicide is much lower in today's "western" society (about one in a hundred thousand per year) in comparison to contemporary hunter-gatherer tribes (one in a hundred to one in three thousand).

Video blocked in Germany. Im starting to hate it when ppl upload vids with unrelated music copyrighted to big labels

I thought that was satirical...but it seems to be real.

Wow.

Always someone to 1-up the stupidity thats in circulation.

Wow. Thanks.

Seriously: This mishmash of Xs, Ws, Qs, plusses and whatnot, all appended by -GA, is highly ridiculous. Who in all the fcking world wants to learn as many acronyms as there are combinations of width, height and color depth?

abandoning != suspending

Just asked my sis (who sports a B.A. in prehistoric archaeology )... according to her, you must've had a very strange teacher -- historically, the figure for "how long ago did they die out" has been creeping down as more and more recent specimen were found. At no time did people think it was just 6ka ago.
