Games virtual currency, in which the pure profit margin is very high. But i am not google / apple / facebook. I find the fees all of them incur to be out of touch with reality, and as more and more payment solutions become available i expec

Anybody knows how much of this fee is pure profit for them? Sounds like an arbitrary number far from their actual costs

the one in line 87. It looks like it might be added later because it's not even indented, but clearly it doesn't serve any purpose and it doesn't make it more readable (you can tell the function never returns from the second while(1) loop).

again, what's with the while()? even if it doesnt cause a segmentation fault, there's a chance it will evaluate to 0.

Elected representatives have set terms. We trust them with our vote for a specific period, and they can even make decisions that hurt some of our interests. Has this been taken into consideration? If we can switch votes at will, then it's n

Imho, php arrays are not better but more convenient for the job: they are silent, not throwing exceptions when keys dont exist etc, they are all hashtables so you can use them as both arrays and lists, "foreach" syntax is better, nonexisten

The scenarios for the greek crisis are turning more and more to be science fiction. To me it's inconceivable how it can be expected that us greeks will have to put up with "austerity measures" for what is essentially the rest of our lives.

Travelling is different than living abroad though, right?

It also makes it seem like there's not that much to learn by spending large amounts of time travelling. That's because people on average are similar, so it's equally probable you will meet the people who will make a difference in your lif
