I thought the same as you. The Wikipedia page on Holocaust victims ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims ) has a list of the different groups targeted by the nazis. In addition to what other commenters have w

Flagship projects are not a good way to discretly "steal" money from Europe, see Human Brain Computing for instance. "Semantic Web" did much better by having plenty of millions euros projects funded in FP6/7 and H20

I fully agree and the more kids you have, the less time you have for yourself. The first option that came was to reduce sleep to gain free time, definitely not a good idea on the long run.

I'm not a lol player, but I'm amazed to see a similar bug that existed on early versions of Battle.net 15 years ago. However this didn't had many impact since we played top vs bottom with game assigned positions (starcraft).

Couldn't agree more. For universities, it is the dictature of the accountants. Every penny spent must be checked by an almost infinite hierarchy of accountants/manager who have no experience of the core tasks of a university (teac

As a Mefi reader an HNer, I'm always disappointed when I see non-hacking Mefi links posted on HN. I don't know why, but I suspect people looking for karma, but I would like to be proven the contrary.
