   I'm baffled why anyone would use this, when you can import data in a database and run it on your own server? I mean, you might spend 20 minutes more to set it up, but you are safe from having to rely on 3rd party service. Anyway, kudos

    > Most of the times I booked through booking.com it was "cash on arrival", so these sites are nothing more than ads. I can confirm this. I believe the hotels only pay a monthly fee for listing and that's all.

    I had a very interesting experience with booking.com. I found a hotel room, it said something like "Only one left". So, I quickly booked and by the time I entered the payment details the room was taken. Ok, so I went back to searc

    I never replaced those either, but HP adapter did melt the plastic cover on one of my laptops and I started to see the naked wiring (on the DC side). I bandaged it with some tape.

    In Europe you have a lot of languages and nations mixed. People who design signs know and care about that. In US you have a huge country where everyone speaks the same language. People who design signs don't even know it's a probl

    In my experience, Google is getting better at finding more general information and worse in finding specific information. It also tries to "help" too much with fuzzy matching which starts to make it useless if you are looking for

    I'm a native speaker, and no, the text shown on that picture does not ask you to take a photo of the credit card. The text reads: "If you own a Mastercard or Maestro, take a photo of the stuff you have in your purse". The pro

    Ok, I'm almost convinced now. I do have friends who come over and don't want to bring their laptops, esp. people with kids. Perhaps I will try it.

    We just bring the laptops, set up a LAN game and 7-8 of us sit in the same room. It does involve bringing some hardware along, but it isn't a big deal. We used to do it quite often.
