One thing it's lacking is actual demand/supply values. Here in the UK the demand for Linux skills is quite high. The banks, stock exchanges, hedge fund and the range of online business and startups out there are increasingly Linux based a

I think interesting documentation in this regard would be nice. I believe there's a lot of space for developers to support small companies that aren't big enough to buy into SAP yet, but would benefit from other products and tools that can

I think the same can be said for 'boring' non-tech industries, like energy, transport, finance, food retail etc. These are essential industries that make the world turn, but because they lack the 'cool' factor they also get the blame for m

The project I have been involved with over the past 6 months has been quite strange. I'm in Europe, and the company has a team in Hyderabad. The only difference is that the team in Hyderabad is determining the requirements, and I'm writing

I'm really impressed with the good level of English spoken by younger people in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary. I believe this will give them an edge in technology over people from countries like Austria, Italy and Spain.

Where in Germany are you based? Berlin perhaps? To me Berlin looks like a great location to run an online business from.

I wasn't suggesting that, but perhaps it comes across confusing. When it comes to cultural differences, I compare neighbours. The Eastern block also spent about half a century being isolated from the rest of Europe, so they have developed

Because it is different. It's not part of the Eurozone so doesn't use the Euro. (ok, other countries like Sweden also doesn't) More importantly, it's not part of the Schengen countries in Europe, which means that a visa that gets you into m

I think theoretically you can make it quite good, but it's not going to be a simple task and you probably can't rely on purely the fans' recording. I think the best way would be to modulate them together based on a weighting depending on p

I just got back to the UK from a 2 week holiday in SA. We went North of Pretoria where it was 38 degrees, but didn't feel too bad since it was a welcome break to the miserable cold in the UK and it was reasonably dry heat. I'm from SA ori

Very nice. What's in the way of letting it support the iPhone?

It reminds me of the die-hard KDE users and Kubuntu. I think Canonical did well with the creation of Ubuntu, which made it possible to throw a Linux desktop at a newbie user for the first time. From the sounds of it, Unity hasn't lost tha

I tried to find a friend to train with me so we could do DTMF, or rather CCITT #5. I could whistle the 2400hz and 2600hz reasonably well (not at the same time) which allowed me to hang up on international calls if I wanted to. Oh, I was als

From the analysts I've been listening to from the clothing retail industry in Europe, it seems like China still have plenty of room for cheap labour just further inland and along the coast. Minimum wage laws will improve productivity in th

As a foreigner outside of the US, I like this idea. There are many of us who are already strong earners but don't have anywhere near the million dollars required for an entrepreneur visa. In other words we probably can afford to sustain a

I wonder how well it absorbs radar.

I believe the main problem is not the bonus and the risk taking that it causes, the problem is the structure of the bonus and the type of risk taking we see as a result. It should rather resemble long term share option or recurring commiss

I found Eli Dourado's take on 'Race Against The Machine' quite an interesting analysis and somewhat related to this article http://elidourado.com/blog/technologies-of-control-and-resis... It's mainly how points of control incentivize som

To me the irony of this argument is that my ancestors were European, I have already spent well over £150k on taxes in the UK, and the business I would like to start would be employing 19-24 year olds.

While others don't know when it will be a good time to short it, even though they want to. If you get it wrong you can get burnt. With more Linkedin stock coming onto the market and the possibility of Facebook next year, things can get ver

I'm a foreigner in the UK on the UK equivalent of an H1B visa (the tier 2 killed migrant visa). I'm also tied to my employer, though it's a consultancy and I'm based at different clients on different projects so it doesn't get too dull. T

Lag, well I used to dial up from South Africa, to places in Europe or the US. The call was normally blue boxed over analog satellite lines, one or two hops to a geostationary satellite and back. I used to bring my speed down to 7200bps si

Actually, it happens quite often and not just with Apple. The mobile company, Orange, has been doing the same to companies with the name 'orange' in it. It normally starts with threatening letters from lawyers, where small companies often

There's a second advantage to vendors setting their consulting fees quite high, and that is not to undercut their professional services partners. It also leaves room for others to compete in that space.

I've been using screen for over 16 years now. The only time I have code on my local machine is if I'm writing code to interface with hardware directly or developing for a console like the GP2X. Otherwise, my computer has mostly been a ter

I work for one of the biggest corporations in the world, and I can see the acceptance of Macs creeping in. There is at least active support for using Macs as terminals for Windows virtual desktops. That said, it's still a long way to go s

I have no problem with this. I'm all for advertisements being either more entertaining and funny, or more for things that I actually want. It's better than being blasted with stuff that I have no need for, even if they put in pictures of

This also clearly reminds me of one of the uses of perl. It's nice to use for prototyping something that can be implemented in ANSI C when necessary.
