Hmmm... Not really. I suppose your permit for staying here("verblijfsvergunning") should allow you to work. Maybe they have a different category for starting companies. If you want to know for sure, you should contact the Chamber of Commerc

About the same to The Netherlands. We just visited the Chamber of Commerce to start a partnership. The person taking our registration just asked us a bunch of questions. (Names, SSN, address, etc., limitations to executive powers of the dir

How does that help? You'd either still have to connect to the remote server multiple times (if screen runs remotely), or you're going to have to connect multiple times from inside screen (if screen runs locally)...

That's my experience too. We have a few databases of about 500MB-1000MB each. They are running on MyISAM and don't use transactions, foreign keys, constraints or really any kind of database feature other than indexes. I spent some time opti

Try two screens that don't form a rectangular area (e.g. one large and one small screen) and still get a decent setup, i.e. one where you can see all of your desktop.

Because it's easy. CGI scripts usually retrieve the IP address in dotted quad notation from the environment. Converting it can be a waste of time if the space doesn't matter that much.

I feel that making somebody's life a living hell can be more severe than simply ending it, yes. That's my opinion and I don't need you to agree with that. The point I'm making is that reasonable people can disagree on which is the more seve

Sure. But whether my experience improves doesn't depend on what I set the setting too. Rather, it depends on the settings of other people. That's why a setting doesn't help.

Really? If I tell you your wife cheated on you with someone else. Is that statement really reversible? You're either going to hate my guts for lying or hate hers for cheating. You may find peace with it, but you can't un-hear that stateme
