Local sources
Source A, local free small news paper "20min"
Source B, the national ISP and IPTV service provider BluewinSorry, source in German only (well at least it's in Schriftdütsch and not in dialect).
Source A has a side bar with an interview of one of the potester. His arguments, he's feeling danger, because :
- Mixing E-Sport could divert kids attention away from "real" (his words) sport and keep them glued to the screen.
- He's actually not afraid of money being invested into e-Sport instead of soccer teams (i.e.: not afraid of money lacking). But he'll find it problematic once the league's clubs start to assemble E-Sport teams. "What could this lead to ?"
- He's not buying the argument that e-Sport could attract more fans. His opinion is that a video game is a wrong reason to become a fan. He's actually against bringing even more people into stadiums (?!). Specially given that Bern's team is already successful for the last 3-4 years. He's not interested in pseudo-"fans" who are just following some fad.On their side, the proponent of the e-Sport investment actually want to fight the "fat nerd in the sofa" cliché. Actually the point is to have the e-Sport team have some fitness training and balance diets, some are actual soccer players, etc. They want to cultivate healthy gamers.
At the end of the day, they see eSport as a marketing tool, able to reach out and attract more of the younger generation.. -
Do It Yourself Suggestion
You know, the best method I've used to come up with what you're looking for is to just use a search engine and either blow up what you find or post it as normal size or put it in a binder that's always available. You can find some nice PDFs here if you want to take that route or you can look all over the place and mix/match. I personally only print out those I find myself using over and over again.
If you absolutely just want high quality print and don't have time to do this yourself, just visit Learn & Thrive which, to my recollection, has some decent sized posters available. They don't have the very particular kinds of posters you're asking for but then again, I don't know anybody who would do Oracle 10 specifically.
My suggestion is to get a high quality PDF from those first two links and just blow it up and have it laminated at Kinkos. Cost? Probably a lot less then buying something online.
If you really really want to do it yourself, I would suggest using The Gimp (or your favorite image editor) to capture images and text and make your own 'cheat sheet' with everything specific to where you work that would be pertinent. Share it with everyone else if you do and make sure to export as a high quality file format. Have it printed and keep it updated and specific to your workplace. If it's worth that much for productivity, you can probably convince your boss that the ROI is there for your time and money to get them printed. -

SwitzerlandAs far as Switzerland is concerned, I can help out.
ADSL: Provided by the ex-monopolist Swisscom and many resellers at about 50 CHF (35
/$) per month for 256 kbps.
Cable: Depending on your location, your cable access is controlled by Cablecom (which now also offers telephony services) or small, regional providers. Here's Cablecom's English page. Prices tend to be slightly higher than ADSL.
Just call the corporations I mentioned if you' re interested, virtually everybody in Switzerland speaks English. -
my gentoo experiencei went through a series of reinstalls on my linux desktop over the summer, and in the month or so when i was on gentoo, i was a fan. There's definitely something to be said for optimizing binaries for your specific hardware. OTOH, the reasons i eventually returned to debian were:
- dependency problems in some portage scripts and
- having to compile everything.
Now, as far as my dependency issues, i'm not sure if they got them resolved with the new version of portage, but it might be worth checking out. At any rate, i love dselect and i dunno if i'll be reinstalling now that i got the unofficial kde3 debs working -

It's not just Egypt, it's any place with no flat local phone rates, i.e. basically everywhere except North America . Example: it's the standard in Switzerland.
(See also Estonia, Brazil, Portugal, India, Ireland, Argentina, Guatemala, England, Poland,

Re:Check this out! BWB jet fighters in WWII!
Try this site for some other pictures of it.
I think that my favorite aircraft of all time was the Pilatus Porter. I have fond memories of flying into a stiff headwind and seeing a moose pass us just a little way below. -
