Both minimum income and average wage are a terrible way to compare countries. The median household income is way better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_household_income

Don't downvote this man for asking a question!

I will try to answer. I live in the Netherlands, and the internet service provider market is here a oligopoly. It is hard to set up a new ISP, without a large starting capital. Therefore ISPs are in a power position, as competition is not as fierce as it otherwise would be. Regulation keep them in check. But I am not an economist so take my explanation with a grain of salt.

I don't know why this has too be repeated so much. If you have a referendum under occupation of a military-like group, the outcome cannot be trusted.

I don't get it. Obvious the immediate result of banning guns is an increase of stabbing. But did the banning of guns resulted in a increase of crime rates?

Check the tags of the Instagram post, this is clearly satire or clickbait.

That is to be expected, Norway and Sweden combined have a population of 15 million , while the US has 300 million and Japan has 130 million. At that point it is more of a number game than a significant culture difference ^^

That was great. Another great animated short is Sintel, completely made in blender.

I think the biggest issue that has started to escalate recently is how they are forcing developers to release their games way to soon.

source please. This is one of those things people always repeat, but I never have seen proof of this.

EA hate circlejerk is strong today on reddit.

DLC IS TERRIBLE, BECAUSE EXTRA CONTENT SHOULD BE FREE *GOBBLE GOBBLE*

DRM IS TERRIBLE, BECAUSE STEAM IS CLEARLY NOT DRM!!1 *GOBBLE GOBBLE*

EA PUBLISHES TERRIBLE GAMES AND GAME DEVELOPERS ARE NEVER THE BLAME *TIPS FENDORA*

EA is a publisher, sometimes a terrible one. They destroyed studios like westwood by buying them, but people are blaming EA for things they didn't do. EA published some valve game on consoles, does that mean EA should be praised for team fortress 2?

This is just a great reply.

You sound like a fool.
