Yep. The most common questions nowadays seem to be about wheelchair access, wheelchair-accessible parking, and whether the business accepts cards (which is another weird one for Finland - who doesn't accept cards here?). For restaurant

Some "real" payment terminals are also suspectible to customer misuse. There have been many cases of customers issuing "refunds" of thousands of euros to themselves when they were supposed to be inputting their PIN - eas

I believe they are talking about existing code - i.e. Linus does not want patches to re-wrap existing long lines just to get them under 80. For new code 80 columns is still the recommendation, unless this discussion causes that to be change

Even before issuance? No such requirement in Finland at least, so clearly not an EU level requirement. The Finnish VAT Act does, however, require that companies sending and receiving invoices ensure that the mandatory invoice data is not mo

Personally I consider the convenience of ebooks to significantly outweigh the inability to resell or possible pricing discrepancies, so I always choose ebook (at least for text-only works). But that of course is very subjective.

That probably indeed varies a lot by location and demographic. In my experience in Finland, casual spoken discussion is usually 12h but written is 24h. The xx:xx format always means 24h, whether written or spoken. When referring to a precis

Interestingly, SimTower was not developed by Maxis but by the Japanese OPeNBooK, and was originally released in Japan as "The Tower". Maxis then published it in US as part of the Sim series. OPenBooK went on to develop Yoot Tower
