If you're on strict mode, TEXT and BLOB types in MySQL 5 don't support a default value. Bugzilla didn't set anything for those fields; relying on MySQL putting in the default value. At that time Bugzilla had loads of places w

Credit card is more difficult to keep track of your finances. You don't notice your balance changing until the end of the month. Further, you're doing things on credit, where most Dutch mentality is to save, then spend. The insura

Not really the full story. Bugzilla explicitly disables strict mode (due to another problem). Pretty stupid to have done that! See for details https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321645#c20 PS: I wrote the patch to

You're being totally unrealistic. The salaries are higher because the cost of living is higher. They don't go down because of "competition". Nor should companies rule a country, most just act in their own self interest.

To me it indicates that you don't have a good facilitator in discussions. IMO one of the nicest things I've ever learned is the "silent thinking" bit. Basically: don't say anything, people write post-its, then peopl

As long as it is also socially acceptable that non-smokers take various 15min breaks during the day and talk about nothing. I once worked at a place where smokers took various breaks but it was not acceptable to just idle around. IMO nowada

It really is not ride-sharing. Blablacar you share the ride and part of the costs. Uber and similar are taxi companies.

A LLC is a burden on the country if you go bankrupt. So obviously you need to show that you have enough money. Are you sure about the rules? I was taught (though ages ago), that you could basically get a short loan for the amount. Further,
