Where can I order things online in Spain? I can't speak Spanish (only recently moved here) and would like to find somewhere to buy certain products and feel kind of stuck not knowing where to go.
I'm even willing to deal with the manuals and peripherals in Spanish.
I hear you. I moved from the US to Spain.. and [censored] [censored] [censored]!!! I had a personal computer, not even top-of-the-line, shipped to me via DHL. It cost me a total of $500 USD for shipping costs, duties (on an OLD system), VAT (on an OLD system) and another 'delivery' charge. On top of that the thing was held for nearly two weeks by customs. I should have bought a brand new system (except then I would have to deal with everything in Spanish and still pay a huge VAT).
I have yet to try and order things from web sites - because I want things in English and that means the US or UK pretty much. I'm scared to - but then maybe that's the point? To keep business local to the EU and member countries.
Nothing else (not counting people I miss) has made me miss the US than that.
Do you have some issue with people trying to put foot on the table,
He's correct in having an issue with this. It's just downright disgusting when you're trying to eat and Uncle Bob props his callous-ridden ingrown fungi-infested feet on the dinner table.
It *was* a voluntary 'blackout' in that no media company in thier right mind wanted to appear:
1) "unpatriotic" 2) supportive of Saddam 3) supportive of terrorists 4) "unpatriotic"
You were either "with us or against us, good or evil". With such a black-and-white standard to be judged against, no one would get in the way of the holy crusade if they knew what was good for them.
Yes, I know - it was a bit of sarcasm. Anyone that's done anything in perl, knows that it's style is more free-form than that of other languages. I'm not a perl-hater... far from it.
The "Sci Fi Friday" demographic. They may have been trying to compete with Sci Fi's lineup. I think a few subscription channels have science fiction shows on Fridays (could be wrong as I don't have any).
It does seem like a terrible time, especially at 7PM my time. The people that may have watched it otherwise who get off of work around 5PM would have to race home to watch it (and I assume do whatever it is other people do when they first get home).
I don't think they are going for the market that actually goes out on Friday nights:)
Unless of course you happen to have parent which come from a semi-randomly selected country
Actually that's "Unless of course you happen to have a parent come from a country whose majority of citizens have brown or darker skin and/or follow a religion other than a sect of Christianity".
How can you go wrong when the main character is a big black mafia hitman who thinks he's a samurai....... who empathizes with his targets. Very good movie that may go down lost and forever underappreciated. Luckily, I saw this in a theater.
It's not an action flick as some may have expected going in to see it - that may explain it's nosedive at the box office. It's a story about honor.
They survived by taking jobs as repo men and used car salespeople. I swear that recruiters and headhunters are the most unprofessional and rude people I have ever dealt with.
Offtopic, but to set the record straight, the Republic of Texas was a country. It was created during the fight for independence from Mexico (1835-36). It lasted for about a decade before being annexed as a state of the United States (1845). Invasion threats from Mexico and battles with Native American tribes along with money issues led to the annexation.
Humanity has always sought a bit of fulfillment from storytelling. Stop being snobbish about the medium it's presented in. Granted most television is not what I would call true storytelling - but, you see, that is why Farscape has rabid fans.
I hope that your company keeps you in the back room so that you don't have to deal with any clients.
Understand that I solely use OpenOffice for my documents when I'm not using vi. I prefer vi over all other types of documenting - it's fast and easy for me. Anyway, the point is - your personal preference doesn't matter. Communicating quickly and effeciently is.
Yes, Microsoft sucks, closed formats suck, etc. The truth of the matter is, you either adapt to what (in this case) your clients use or they don't do business with you. Most businesses that I've worked for tend to opt for the adapt method than the 'go to hell' method.
It has nothing to do 'bending over backward' for everything the customer asks for. It has everything to do with communication and making stupid things like file formats as transparent and unimportant to the client as possible.
If you lose business over something as stupid as a file format, I only assume that business must be booming with the rest of the customers that only deal in your preselected formats.

What does the OS have to do with it? I'm talking about hardware specs, prices, delivery info, etc.

of course Perl can do all that and it doesn't need_a_function_for_everything() to accomplish it either
:)
No, it just needs a module_for_everything.pm

i bowned joo with my bxploit?
oh wait, that sounds bad.
What next? A Comand and Conquer that has an invasion of Mecca?
Don't give them any ideas. From what I've been hearing about Generals, I wouldn't put it past them.

Dagon? I've read H.P. Lovecraft and like most of his work but couldn't stand that hunk of shambler crap.
Classic. Best bank robbery scene ever.
Unfortunately, it seriously drags at the end to the point of being ingraciating.

Great flick. I think that people's reactions to it are the most amazing thing about it.
I've yet to see Body Hammer as I don't see anything more can be done past Tetsuo without ruining it.
I firmly believe Disney only does something for 2 reasons: money and notoriety.
Unlike all the other corporations out there.

I would mod you unfunny but there's no such option. Besides you tried too hard.
Why? The military still has to pay for munitions, supplies, weapons, vehicles, fuel, etc. Nothing is free, not even war.

...and the cost of living there is astronomical not to mention a non-existent techie job market.

I hope you don't deal with clients... or coworkers with that kind of attitude.
