I think the parent means that Side Projector sounds like some weird kind of a projector... as an optical device that projects an image onto a surface. That was my first thought.

I think there is nothing special about this period - the problem of being present is not new and I think it might be useful to remind us of 'greatest hits' on this topic. My personal favourite is "To Have or to Be?" by E

It's just my opinion but I would say that many Google products really suck from usability standpoint. I use computer all the time and I would say that I am pretty advanced user... and yet I think that sometimes it is really difficult t

I was not there when that happened to you and I might be wrong but I cannot imagine that happening under normal circumstances. I used to race and during many thousand kilometers on the road I encountered many risky situations (including a c

But I don't really want my kids to see a bunch of dicks. Your kids will see dicks, period. They can either see them with you and you can talk to them about that, explain possible dangers, emotionally support them and create the atmos

I understand. You have so much to lose if you do something. But here is what you can lose if you do nothing. I was born and grew up in communist Czechoslovakia. We lived close to Austria but obviously we could not go there until after the r

Eastern Europe? Could you please elaborate or provide some example to illustrate what exactly you mean? I am from Eastern Europe (Czech Rep.) and I used to live in UK. Generally I would say that current Eastern Europe is way more open/

I live in the Czech Republic and by far the most used payment method here is 'cash on delivery' - you send something and the postal service collects the money for you and than just sends you the cheque. It can hardly get simpler

Actually this is a real problem - sometimes it might be difficult for foreigners to recognize that some words or sayings have a certain subtext or are vulgar or somehow inappropriate. I remember some very embarrassing situations caused by t

I would like to warn about #2 - actually I would say watching movies with English subtitles can really slow down the learning process. The brain consumes enormous amounts of energy and in our past it was critical to our survival to save as

My native language is Czech which is a Slavic language and we do have something similar to English articles. I think that sometimes it's more difficult to learn something that is kind of similar to what you are used to but not entirely

Interesting thing about accents is that while you are trying to improve your accent you also improve your ability to understand the accents of others. I am native Czech speaker and I have a friend who is from UK and who tries to learn and s

Do you by any chance know that old British TV series "The Professionals"? I understand English pretty well and I even lived in UK for 2.5 years but for some reason this TV show is really difficult to understand for me - half of th

It's funny that you mention it - I would say that using "the", "a" and "an" might be the most difficult task for me when I try to speak English. I tried to learn the rules but it seems to me that there are

Great article. I would like to add some more... 1. I used to watch that American TV series "24" and I tried to repeat everything Jack Bauer said in the same way he said it... I even tried to mimic his facial expressions. People sa

LekkoscPiwa's comment and your reaction to it are IMO very interesting example of a different perception which can lead to so many misunderstandings. Your comment only makes sense if you include Russia into the term 'Eastern Europ

I agree with you that moving to another country is not simple. But I would like to offer some experience which might be encouraging to those who decide to do so. 1. I was able to happily work and live in Spain for couple of months with no k
