I second this. Carriers in the EU have been offering Free netbooks for quite some time. All is needed is the 18 month or 2 year contract.
They're actually a really good deal and many fellow students at university have taken them up on the opportunity to basically pay for a laptop over 2 years.
Munich, Germany, is beautiful, is extremely central and has the best airport voted 4 times in a row. I was there for a year and it was ideal to visit everywhere in Europe on both charter and cheap flights.
The primary language in big companies is English and most people speak it. German isn't that difficult to learn for just a simple conversation (but gets very difficult later).
The biggest thing I suppose is the 30 days contractual holiday, usually flexitime AND 10 "Feiertage" which are public holidays. In all, you're hardly working but earning a lot:p
I use Apple's iChat. Of course you need a Mac but I talk for hours full screen to my relatives around the world. With two semi-good broadband connections, it works flawlessly and the quality is second to none (in this price range).
Of course the downside is that you'd both need Macs.
Completely agree. Pan's Labyrinth was one of the best fantasy films I've ever seen. I thought Lord of the Rings lacked intimacy and I think del Toro will bring some of that back to the Hobbit.
Uh... ok... but the first thing I do when I get in the office is:
GREET PEOPLE!!!
Come on people, you're all talking about your project management tools, but the first thing anyone should do when they get in in the morning is say hey to their workmates and ask them about their weekend/evening before!
As a Brit, I've grown up knowing that any treasure found on british land is the property of the queen... that is why treasure hunters here are doing it for prestige and not money. I'm sure this would extend to UK waters.
I don't understand how a judge would, nay, COULD grant exclusive rights, that also makes no sense.
I just come to the conclusion that either the company is lying or the company is going to get a law suit soon.
