Why so cynic? This is a serious issue. And media coverage has nothing to do with the immoral state of the art of ignoring copyrights.

Another interesting fact about plot sizes in Europe: You can see within an area which kind of inheritance law was in place: If farming plots are large, usually the oldest son inherited everything. If they are small, they were evenly distributed.

I am utterly confused at how you think rewriting entire libraries have less security holes than battle-hardened libraries that 1000s of other people use.

Sudoku*. Suu means numbers in Japanese and Doku means solving here. So literally "number solving".

Defending that particular kind of driver: He might not have known to be the last car. But one thing he knows for sure: a long line of cars in front of him. Speeding up or keeping distance is pointless, so he uses that moment to be friendly instead.

I just read "THE MEMOIRS OF THE CONQUISTADOR BERNAL DIAZ DEL CASTILLO WRITTEN BY HIMSELF"

It's not fiction but it feels like a time warp into a world unimaginable.

Having had grandparents live through WWII (or any other war to be fair) also helps instill this attitude. I can barely imagine what kind of famines they had to endure.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. Alexander von Humboldt did a similar statement in his "Buch der Begegnungen" where he compares and finds cultures from tropical areas to be more "lazy" as all the fruits just grow on their own without any human involved.
