@r13 The federal state can (in theory) "print" as much money as it wants.

Martin Schröder

The money has to be repaid, but the debt doesn't have to be reduced. The state can easily pay the debt with new debt.

@marlon Some companies pay for quality, some don't. And the second try may well have used a more expensive route since then they wanted to ensure delivery. They of course if you have used the code, i.e. if the message reached you.

Q: Is the TeX typesetting free and open source?

Q: The LaTeX project public license (LPPL), version 1.3

I've read through https://www.latex-project.org/lppl/lppl-1-3/ but I still don't really understand how this licence works. Can I use the "work" under this licence in a commercial product?

Q: Has there been any significant scientific research in the matter of readability vs. justification of text?

Basically, has anything been shown (in terms of statistical significance) on whether justified text is more or less readable than flush left text? When I say "justified," I mean expertly justified—with proper hyphenation, line-breaking algorithms, and all that. Not something sloppily done by M...

They have committed a significant amount of money and resources and successfully landed on the moon in 1969. However landing a man on Mars does not seem to in...
