That may be OK for sleeping but it is very hard to work. I spent a couple of Winters coding without heating with indoor temperatures around 12 Celsius and it was very hard. I wore mittens, bubble hat, a blanket and even an electric foot war

Inland Portugal can be freezing cold in the Winter, we got -2 C several days in a row last year (I know, -2 C is balmy elsewhere but try it without central heating). You should be okay if you stick to the coast as the sea breezes keep the t

Interesting! Around that time (a little later maybe) I helped a couple of Russians visiting Lisbon and one thing they asked was to go to a large supermarket. When in there, they said it was like visiting a cathedral.

Be that as it may, I had a similar experience with an independent seller at Amazon UK. I bought a pan that arrived with a small defect and they told me I would have to pay the postage back (25 Euros on a £30 or £40 pan - I was buying from a

The problem is that "free" is overloaded as you concluded. I didn't mean to offend any sensibilities, I was just saying that this discussion does not happen in some other languages because they have different words.

Yes, I think this is an English problem. In Portuguese, for example, there is "Gratis" and "Livre" which have too different meanings and there is no possible confusion between the two. Maybe they should say that the soft

Thanks! I just registered in both and it is a very simple process(though I am still waiting on approval). There are quite a few software contracts in there.

This happened to me once in a pool and until I read an article like this I didn't even know I was drowning. I was 5 or 6 and was in a swimming class. I remember going up and down and not being able to say anything or do anything but th

Well, there are two MS/.NET usergroups in Bristol, one of which has had 100+ people in attendance a couple of times and there a few other user groups in human factors and such.

I would go to that one (I am also in Bristol). London is way too far away when you factor in driving back and forth to the train plus tube in London.

I suppose very few doctors have way less than 90% accuracy and, on top of that, Watson is not sensitive to external factors. This is a fantastic tool and may end up changing the way we interface with the health care system.

Although the article has some good advice I have to cringe at the us versus them mentality set at the start. Blaming the fate of the young on the healthcare bill of the old is a false dichotomy. Our parents reached a fairly good finantial s

I think you are right in a general way but giving two screens to average office users may not have those results right away. Two screens increase the cognitive load and require some skills that most people in that setting do not possess. Th
