Magic happens when you know someone is looking over your shoulder. I have used accountability with a buddy before, and it works. It might not work for everyone though; some consider it too stressful.
I think Empires and Allies is making a lot of money currently. It is in the top grossing charts for quite a while. The game is quite good and targets a mid-core audience.

Social security has nothing to do with minijobs, its mandatory and it does not depend on your job if minijob or not. Germany has by far the strongest economy in Europe and most other European countries would have problems without Germany. Germany does not depend on the Euro, it would be even stronger without it. So please get yourself informed before telling us your wisdom.
Right, minijobs has nothing to do with social security, but, since you need to pay for it, if you earn 400 - 160 ,you have 240. I'm informed. Are you?
Germany needs to keep southern European countries in the euro. That is the only reason for injecting money on such corrupted governments. Don't be rude man, it is not necessary
But in Germany is mandatory to pay the social security, so yes, your employer will not pay your social security for you. Instead of that, you should pay it from your pocket.
No. Your employer pays a fixed amount for social security while you don't pay anything.
In case you understand German: "Bei einer geringfügigen Beschäftigung trägt der Arbeitgeber Lohnsteuer, Solidaritätszuschlag und Kirchensteuer sowie Sozialversicherungsbeiträge."
I feel ashamed of my government. They had the chance to stood up for civil rights, show that they are still a democracy. But obviously Germany is not sovereign country anymore, probably has never been since end of WWII.
Its nice that at least something happens, but the German Supreme Prosecution Service is not independent from the government as the supreme court is. So if the German government is involved somehow its only eyewash for the crowd and nothing will happen.
At least more media coverage, that is good for mobilizing more people to protest against it.
Keep in mind that the current minister of justice Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger already held this position under Helmut Kohl, resigned due to her opposition to electronic eavesdropping and submitted a constitutional complaint[1].
Elections will be held in September, though, so it's anyone's guess who'll hold this position a few months from now.
Are you serious? This is not wiretapping a single individual or group. They are spying on ALL people in Germany and violate the German constitution, and if the gov of Germany is involved (which is probably the case) this gets even worse.
I wonder about all those people which think its normal/not surprising. I bet you had not the slightest idea about the scale of NSA spying. NSA even compromised EU offices and there is probably more to come. This reminds me of Cold War and allies should not be treated like that.
By the way the German federal prosecution office has now stated its collecting data about the NSA spying (http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bundesanwaltschaft...). NSA spying gets lots of media coverage now, this might also turn the tides in the upcoming election. Good luck pirate party!
Of course it's normal, and of course "we" are not surprised y the scale of NSA spying. What did you think the NSA did if not this? Have all of their 40,000 employees listening in on Bin Laden's phone calls?
