What happens here - is the phone itself becomes the sim card. That is troublesome on a number of levels. I'd rather push those functions to a little piece of plastic that is easy to move between handsets. "You could tell operators"... How a

This I travel enough to see the benefits as well. Phones that handle multiple sim cards are also nice. I also view it as an added layer of security. My phone can't be connected to the network until the pin for my sim is entered. The ability

This is a valid point but at the same time - can every country make a lot of money selling extremely high end luxury goods? It seems to me (but I'm very open to information that would change this view) that Germany occupies a rather special

I wrapped up a week of meetings in Addis Ababa last Thursday. Attendees were from all over the world - but some of the African presentations were the most impressive. One of the guys from Zimbabwe began with "Internet access is no longer a

I'm surprised synergy+ wont work in a pure mac environment. I use it every day but my setup is 2 linux machines and a windows machine. If I couldn't use it - I would buy something like what he describes. I would quickly look at any and all

That's just a pet peeve. The other two are bigger. But really it just irked me that he felt it necessary to add that Oracle wasn't better than MS SQL Server. There are cases where it most definitely is better. There may be cases where MS SQ

MS SQL Server allows statements that include '= NULL' in them. Like, 'SELECT * from foo WHERE foo_id = NULL'. One cannot do this in Oracle. This, in my opinion, indicates that Oracle is a better RDBMS.

Precisely my point. Nothing equals null, but SQL server allows queries that use '= NULL' in them.

KDE on Fedora is my primary environment and has been for years, even through the rough times when 4 came out. Ugly is subjective but I'm not sure what you mean by 'works bad'. Unless you don't like design choices. My F16 machines have been

This is what I do with Fedora. I started using RedHat in 2000 or so and it's been my OS of choice since. People often assume I'm a gnome user - but I jumped to KDE in the first few months, and never switched back. I do install both though,

Oracle - in a number of situations is most certainly 'better'. I can think of 3 things that prove this to be so, " = NULL", RAC and running an OS other than MS Windows on your server.

The study of medicine is grounded in hard sciences. There are many things that are known and many that aren't known but usually the line between the two is relatively clear. When something works or doesn't work, it is also often very easy t

It all comes down to whether or not schools should manage the racial make-up of their students. The administrations of the schools obviously want them to do so. The Obama administration has made it clear that they want the schools to do so.

I'm not sure what he payed and that was a while ago. Most Americans that I know in Hungary, when they need something done they go to Austria. I lived in the US most of my life. The health care system there is pretty messed up - in my opinio

If it's better in Slovenia, then I'm glad. Not trying to imply anything and I apologize if I caused offense.

by stoolpigeon 15y ago
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying you can't just compare costs straight across by looking at taxes vs. premiums because in the health care system here there are a number of hidden costs. I had a friend who broke his arm. The eme

The problem you are facing is that very few people are familiar with your situation and so they take what they understand from their country or what they see in the news about some other country on the same continent as yours and they apply

My experience so far in Hungary - and I expect Slovenia to be pretty similar is that you can't really compare the benefits between state provided medical in Central/Eastern Europe to what can get through private insurance in the U.S. I neve

I've thought about leaving for quite a while but never got around to it. Now - it would almost be more difficult not to with the step by step guides and coupons. Transferred my 6 domains from GD this morning.

And how did Fidesz get that 53%? The answer to that question tells so much. What would happen in a country like the US if a tape were leaked of Obama talking about "Lying day and night" just to win elections. Drive around anywhere in Hungar
