Do you mean the port number on your PC? To me, it is a feature, and not a lazy implementation. Now I don't have to keep track of which HDMI port I plugged which monitor into.

My dad had a computer on his desk in 1979. It was a Z80 based business computer with a monochrome monitor, 5.25" floppy drive, and a dot matrix printer. It wasn't cheap, but still not a huge investment for a small company. The per

Or someone further west who did this after work during the evenings. Or someone further east with a classical hacker "let's get up late in the afternoon, and start the serious hacking late at night."

A friend of mine did the "fiancee visa" in Europe at the local embassy there. It took something like 3-5 months to get the visa approved for travel to the US. Once there, he could start working immediately. But this was a long tim

I don't think their checks caught him though? He only got caught because the plane was full, and he stood out like a sore thumb when he couldn't sit down somewhere.

Definitely. But my point was that Gibibytes did not replace Gigabytes. It was just that some hard drive manufacturers successfully introduced marketingspeak into the computer world. It wasn't that the computer world all agreed upon swi

In the 1980s and 1990s, no-one thought this was a problem. All computer stuff is based on binary numbers, therefore 2^(10*n) makes a lot more sense than 10^n for us. Do you buy 64 GB of RAM for a new computer? Or is it 68.719476736 GB? It w

In Sweden, this is mandatory to get your driver's license. Lot's of fun!

Thanks. Is the reason there is no 12 month notice period that there no longer are any assets for potential creditors? It seems it would be very hard to set the balance sheets to exactly 0? What about prepaid taxes etc?

In Sweden you can sell your company either to used as a "shelf company", meaning the buyer will later resell it, or you can sell it with the promise that it will be dissolved/liquidated and not resold. It seems much more popu

They can't. If you pay them to dissolve the company for you, they buy the shares from you and replace the board and the CEO. At that point, you're completely free from the company. They then must take the 7-9 months needed to go t

I'm not an expert, especially not on the German law. But here's my understanding: If a UG with 1 euro in share capital has a large equity, low expenses, and is run prudently, then I don't think the CEO/shareholders are p

In Sweden you can sell your company to a specialized company that will dissolve it for you (for example this one: https://www.standardbolag.com/services/liquidation ). This can be done in a matter of 1-2 weeks. In Swede

Thanks. How much of the 15 000 was external costs to an accountant, public notaries, authorities, etc, and how much was the internal wages? The numbers I have seen for external costs range in the low thousands, but maybe that is wrong?
