I've said for several years that Windows should abandon the 3D-style UI elements, and stop overwhelming users with color. Imagine if you went to a website, and all the UI elements were pseudo-3D. It would look a mess.

> In Asia, you are expected to act "drunk" when you are drinking with your colleagues/boss. You aren't expected to actually get that drunk, though you can if you want. Not true in South Korea. They'll have drinking games and challenges

But you do live in Europe, and can visit other European countries relatively easily. If you are a member of the EU, you could even move to another EU country. I think most Dutch people would prefer the site to be in English, as the Netherl

I'm British and I think this is a great idea. I'm interested to read about the startup scene in Europe and the UK. I do think that we should be trying to move away from the 'hacker' label. People are never going to understand that 'hacker
