I wonder how much it was taken into account that a significant "part of the damange" was done by people posting the photos. His platform was merely an enabler and the nude photos could have been also posted elsewhere.

I am an exception as I rent a room for 500 CHF (the norm is 750-1000 CHF). Also, I pay 200 CHF for the cheapest insurance. Then, I budget about 300 CHF to buy food. If you insist on renting a nice 2bd aparment, you can do so for 2500 CHF in

I think averaged adjustments for cost of living are senseless as this is quite individual. Let's take me as an example: I manage to live modestly but well on around 1000 CHF (1050 USD) in Zurich while making around 6400 CHF (6700 USD)

I like the idea of an easier to use Git but I'd wish for a clearer side-by-side explanation how Gitless is supposed to be simpler than Git (for instance, the CoffeeScript website shows clearly how it compares to JavaScript: http:&#x2F

I get my salary in CHF and I am quite happy as I transfer it regularly to EUR. Nothing changed for my Swiss colleagues who don't shop in Euros. Here the official reasoning of the SNB: http://www.snb.ch/en/mmr/

Wouldn't this be a great way for non-EU citizens to get a residence-permit within the EU? Then, one could move and work in more lucrative places, like Switzerland. (Full disclosure: I am interested in tech-recruiting in Switzerland - s

Being a practitioner myself I am happy about the hype about Buddhism. Yet, people seem to overlook how manifold Buddhism is. Vipassana 10 day retreats are for folks who can truly "benefit" from strict rules described in the post.
