I'm from Lithuania. The problem with percentage of GDP using for all the European countries is not very good measure. Some taxes are indeed small in Lithuania (e.g. profit tax is 15% in Lithuania and 5% for small companies) but some taxes a

I really doubt that it is still legal in all cases. You might assume that it is legal if that makes you feel comfortable but you must be careful here. I personally wouldn't travel with questionable content on my laptop, smartphone or other

I'm from other European country but similar things happen here. I disagree with you here. We should register ourselves as content creators and get our money back in other legal ways. We should demonstrate how much those taxes are stupid.

Some other European countries are doing the same stupid thing so it might be not an option. E.g. in my country computer price will increase about 7 euros because of that, USB keys and similar devices will be about 20% more expensive.

I guess the same way as with multiple python interpreters. E.g. under Linux/Mac OS X I might have python python2.5 python2.6 python2.7 and etc. Under Windows I have different locations for different python versions (e.g. c:\python26 c:\pyth

Nokia handsets were quite functional at the time iPhone appeared. E.g. Python for S60 is older than iPhone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_for_S60 ). Apple brought a lot of innovations to smartphone market but functionality is not on

It is funny because I have chosen Node for one my project because I have not found easy way to do that in Python. I must say I really love Python - it is my favorite programming language. I could do the same project in Python but node.js lo

"One of the advantages of UTF-16 is knowing right away it's UTF-16 as opposed to deciding if it's UTF-8/ASCII/other encoding." It is actually not that simple. By using UTF-16 you already have at least two problems: 1. You should know if byt

Actually no roadblocks (details in other comment). Just python was simpler and I don't see problem writing different parts in different languages.

No, the same thing can't be done using plain HTML (+ Javascript and CSS). You can get result that visually and functionally looks the same but it will be very hard to get desired result (it is not worth the time), e.g. have you ever tried t

I think you either are lucky or not working on some low level problems. I had at least two cases (in last 5 years) where I had to debug code and enter Windows libraries reading assembler code using cdb/windbg. It was painful knowing that in

Symbian has quite good coverage of popular apps. Of course it is still way behind Apple store/Android market but you might get lucky.
