Hello xda community!
I would like to share a term paper I wrote recently. The focus is on the comparison of android and the iOS. However, it is not a technical report and that is exactely the reason why I have chosen a more market-oriented perspective.
Any comment is welcome but please remember that English is not my first language!

Very impressive paper, nice work
Nice work with the paper. All the best with Uni.
The paper is ok. I would cut down on the use of "therefore" and "furthermore". I counted 10 of the former and 5 of the latter. Therefore it's about 2.14 of the above words per page and furthermore it gets old by about page 5.
Now, after one month since publishing my now outdated paper, I would like to thank you for your comments (especially Zopaa who did actually count words ) and your interest!
Moin hast du das PDF auch in deutsch?
nein, war für eine Lehrveranstaltung mit Englisch als Arbeitssprache...
in English: this paper is only available in English!

Please help all of us in Germany to save the freedom and democracy. The german government is trying to censor the internet.

Thank you
Michael Jäger
isnt it suppossed to be a good thing???
sorry i dont know much about the things happenning there and if my opinion is stupid
but censoring adult content from internet is a good thing i guess
Hallo Michael,
as your neighbour and constant reader of www.heise.de/tp I strongly support this petition (if only I could)
Anyway: It's down, maybe "von der Lügen" already locked it
i dont worry if they wanna censor it, i will go online with a proxy from USA
german:
macht mir nichts aus wenn die regierung alles zensieren möchte geh ich einfach mit nem proy aus der USA online
I cant decide by myself about this
I have some good points but... every head has a whole world inside:
1.- We are all (almost) adults... if you want to see naked chicks... sex or whatever you want... go to the streets get a hooker or two! let them do what ever you want, the internet has been made a big xplotion on porn, the hiden cluster for sex adicts... I see porn of course! im a man! that likes it... but think about kiddos your children... others children has their mind so open to this things!!!! lets stop this somehow... I believe many times that the education inside the family was vital... but what about the tiem they are outside? is almost the biggest part of the day... be smart guys.
2.- If this is a step forward versus the votes of a candidate... let them pass trough it will end... by its own heavy weight.
3.- If this is a rule closing sites that never shows porn or violence... is a big mistake to go upon a contitutional trouble! its hard! its dangerous!
BUT
as you can see... im not German so your country is "yours"...
BTW: In swedden I remember... a friend's internet account was censored so he cant enter to pirate bay... think about it... XDA.
err btw i am fourteen
and i watch porn too
Hi
There are a few germans on this forum and i just want to ask you for some common words and stuff in german.
It would be great if you could tell me some.
Phrases that would be handy:
Do you speak English?
Can you tell me where the toilets are?
Where is ......?
Thanks

A mate's dad and his team were told, just before being dropped behind enemy lines, to say "Haben Sie ein Messer, um Butter mein Brot mit bitte?" if caught as they'll be taken for Germans.
I think it was one of those "Give them something to think about so they don't realise the gravity of the situation they're about to get into" moments

That only works if you have a good German teacher.
We had an excellent teacher at our school, unfortunately she left the term before we were due to start German.
They replaced her with a native speaker who just couldn't teach.
The first year we were told everything is "Ich bin" to say I am, then she denied she'd told us that in the second year and claimed she'd always told us about "Mir ist" (apparently it's important as to which one you use when you're saying you're hot).

Entschuldigung mein freund.
We don't have a german teacher, our choices were frence or spanish. Neither of which i would like to study for GCSE.
I don't mind frence as i was probably go to france but i wouldn't like to go to spain.
Thanks EbiEre! I will learn them, i just hope i get the pronunciation right.
The reason i didn't use google translate is that its more reliable to ask someone that speaks german.
Chances are you'll find that many of the locals speak better english than many english people!

Off-Topic thread is Off-Topic
There is a forum for non-phone related subjects, you would be far better off posting this in there - although a Mod will probably move it from here to there, and then another Mod there will probably lock the thread as being redundant anyway. If you just want to go and chat have a look around OT and I'll see you there.

I was in the US Marines at the time. I was with the 31st MEU, we were the ones that were the first responders back in '06 when that mud slide hit Leyte.
Also the Filipino Marines will literally trade anything for a Gerber Multi-tool, lol. I have like 3 full sets of Fil-Mar uniforms that I traded one guy a Gerber for.
Oh and I will NEVER again try Balut. I took one bite and even drunk couldn't hold it down, lol.

So, I love my Nexus 10, but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the fact that there are seemingly no decent looking cases for it at all, especially if you dont want one made out of leather.
Anyone got any recommendations at all?

Jag förstår din frustration. Värre är det att de som sägs vara läder är inte läder överhuvudtaget!!! Läsa man små texten på dessa så kallade läder fodral står det "Material - konstläder"
Om det står läder och kostar bara 149- 249 är chansen väldigt stor att det är konstläder. Det gäller nog 90% av alla på en viss butik som säljer teknik grejer

At any rate, I completely agree with your point. However, I dont want a case made out of leather, genuine or not. period.

Sorry.
My feeds are full of both English and Swedish publications and forums and sometimes I forget which language I'm replying to or which forum I'm writing in.
Happy to hear you're not affended. I wrote a post in English in a Swedish forum and got lots of nasty replies!!
Hope you find the case!
I know that fora is technically the correct plural form of the word forum, but forums is by far the most used and understood plural form. Not to mention that forums is listed in most dictionaries.
This stub from Media College states the case rather succinctly.
http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/forum/forums-vs-fora.html
What say ye?
The correct way to to use forum in the plural sense is fora. However, language is dynamic and over time forums as come to be accepted by those who do not know better.
Proper English is fora
Broken/ghetto English is forums
However, In everyday speech either will work just the same
Also do I need to remind people that trolling new threads isn't allowed??????????
:what:
Fora in dutch but forums in english, do you say musea or museums in english?
Forums, mainly because too many people (read: youths) these days have no idea what the word 'Fora' means.
Or in the worlds of my grandmother: "Those silly places where people write nonsensical rubbish on white boards." :laugh:
I feel like forums sound more sensible. Fora sounds werid!
Its going to be LEGEND--wait for it--DARY!-Barney Stinson(How I Met Your Mother)
Forums is not broken or ghetto English as Mark claims. It is the proper plural noun of forum in English. Fora would be the correct plural noun in Latin. Both are 100% correct and you would be able to use either in a publication and you wouldn't be criticized.
A lot of words in English are borrowed from other languages and its parent language is disregarded. For example the plural of medium is media but the meaning of the word media has evolved.
