The advantage would be to have the same rime ad Portugal. Office hours in Spain already are different. In Spain the work till 20:00 with a 3 hour luunchtime. In germany, many leve as early as 15:00 or 16:00. They start earlier.
International companies already know how to schedule meetings around this.
Portugal is not in that timezone. Neither is thevUK or Ireland. The rest of west Europe is around the same place. Germany us jyst comvinientlt in the middle.
Devidong e.g. France in two zones would be stupid.
And the sun is the reason we are in this mess to begin with, so no reason to look there. All that is one line for kids to learn extra in school."time was sun based. Not anymore." We changed using the moon for time as well.
Except obciously that they can change the law and say it is up to the countries from now on. Portugal and Spain have different times. There are even countries around the world that run on different times.
There is nothing LEGAL preventing to reverse an EU law. Would it be easier if none have DST? Sure, but not a must.
I feel sorry for you. Not because the stupidity tgat is DST, but because you onlu had jet lag only twice per year.
Every time I go to sldeep and/or wake up with an hour difference from what I normally do, I have had it. That means every Saturday (and Monday) at least from the age of 12. This basically because of having a social life.
They will have not so much bia and will do just what they are told to do.
This is about on par with what they aleady to with "Click the part of the image that has a bike to identify you are a human".
There is no need to have anybody with computer knowledge. "Circle the pig" can be learned in 10 minutes. Speed will increase.
I know when I did testing for an ADSL manual, we went to the most non-tech people we could find, gave them a manual and a PC an looked what happend. We learned more from "Where should I put the CD?" from a noob than from "There is an error in thge explantion of the ESMTP prttotocol on page 26 in the second alinea" from a nerd.
The first was our target audience. The second was not. The same is true for this, I assume.
Cars boarding can be usefull if there is no other way for the cars to get there. e.g. Between France and the UK, cars go in a train and then drive on when they get out. However it is not like driving up to it, get on it and get of.
There is a waiting time. The same happens between e,g, Hamburg/Husum and Westerland. There is no other way for the cars to get to Westerland, so they will have to take the train. Yet they will have to be there a certain amopunt of time in advance, as the space is limited.
Boarding such a platform would take time. And while it takes time, the car takes up space. And space is something that is not available, otherwise a tunnel would not be a good option.
I could see it working in the US. In the US the rails are owned by companies. In Europe, not so much. So where in Europe they van add a train on the rails anywhere they already exist, in the US the rails-owning company can easily ask higher prices if they think they can get away with it.
In Europe the high-speed trains will have right of way, after that the intercities and then the local trains. At the end their is cargo. That way the more expensive trains with humans on them will be more on time. In the US, a company can easily give advantage over their slower freight trains. And thet is just right of way. You can not force a company to renew their rails.
So where in the US you need to build a new infrastructure, in Europe you can build on the existing one. e.g. many high speed trains where operational on standard speed rails and high speed zones where added as they where finished.
That is not how they make money. They make money by people going to the movies and advertising.
Much easier to do with some random Marvel than e.g. inception. If you said inception before the movie came out, you needed to explain it. That costs money. If you say Marvel, people already know.
I got one or free (iPad mini) from the company where I worked. It is a nice portablescreen, but terrible if you need to do any data input. So I hardly ever use it.
I also have a similar sized portable with a detachable keyboard. When I use it, I never detach the keybard and never use the touchscreen. The size is just good enough to do what I do on my phone.
A 14" or 15" portable is much better to do anything on it, even if it is just browsing or email or watching movies. It also has a buil-in stand to hold the screen in a position I can watch it.
So I now ahave a 14" HPO Chromebook. With Crouton I run Debian and as an extra bonus when I am at the border and the person taps Space instead of CTRL-D, it deletes the Debian part. Nice.
I also have a 17" portable for if I need to do actual work when I am not home.
The thing is that humans look at the time on the clock. So if I have to take medicine at 6:30 so I have it before breakfast, you can not just start giving ot at 7:30 because it is whatever UTC or 5:30 when it still is another shuft working.
Portugal and Spain have different timezones now. Office hours in different countries are now not identical. I am sure we will survive if e.g. Germany And France have a different ones.
In Europe we do not have DST. We have summer and winter time (for now).
The difference is tgat we are not conditioned to think that 50% of the year the time is "wtong". Makes it easier to pick a new standard when we need to. I personally like wintertime better than summertime.
You confuse speech and beer. Red Hat is the best example that free speech does not mean free beer.
Asking money is neither a feature, nor a bug of open source. I know I have paid for open source. I know the company I work for has paid for open source. I know Red Hat customers have paid for open source.
There is nothing wrong with paying for it. There is also nothing wrong with handing it out for free. Open Source is not about money. It is about the source that needs to be available. Open, as it were.
I would like my phone to be twice as thick and the extra space used for battery. That way my phone IS my battery pack. No need to drag around two things + a wire.
And as cable I use a magnetic cable for all my different devices. That way I do not need differnt cables for my Ipad, my phone and other things. 1 cable at work, one cable at home and one in the car and you are set if the batteries would last longer.
I have VDSL 100M down 40M up. I bought my own Fritzbox. The downside is that SSH is not supported to the router and although there are some ways around it, it is not as easy as I like it to be.
Interesting to see that a fixed IP adress is a 20 EUR profit for them. It costs the ISP absolutely nothing extra, so that is just 20 EUR in the pocket. And if you compare the home user and business, you see you pay 10 EUR for the hardware in "loan". After 14 months, buying one would have been cheaper.
You have to limit costs by telling doctors they are now employees of the US Government, welcome to your upper middle class salary
I know several docters, surgeons and lawyers in several countries. None of them are employees of the state. Yet we still have universal healthcare. Either absolute 100% or a really minimal payment of a few EUR.
A doctors visit costs me 25 EUR and I get 20 EUR back (Ballpark figures). I think I paid 20 EUR for a CAT scan for my backpains. Again ballpark. Could be a lot less, but certainly not much more.
Malpractice lawsuits can, should and do happen.
And let us not go offtopic by talking student loans, shall we? I live in a student city where the world largest brewery company is located and there is more stress about the price of the beer than there is about the cost of their contribution. (Yep, not free.)
The reason I am unable to test my Nokia 3110 is that I do not have the SIM card adapter for my mucro-sim. Otherwise I am sure Icould use it. In Belgium phones are not allowed to be locked by law. Never heard anybody complaining their phone was not suported. Stupid communist country.

U use routing by Cisco, so this could never happen to me. Sales person told me so.

I like to go to these meetings. The woman holding them has nice tits I like to stare at them. (OK, I will go to hell now.)
Are you saying that women are weak and can not defend themselves?

Open Source is not about money. It is about the source that needs to be available. Open, as it were.
I got and get paid by using their contributions to the kernel, among other things. Open Source is a barter economy.

I would like my phone to be twice as thick and the extra space used for battery. That way my phone IS my battery pack. No need to drag around two things + a wire.
And as cable I use a magnetic cable for all my different devices. That way I do not need differnt cables for my Ipad, my phone and other things.
1 cable at work, one cable at home and one in the car and you are set if the batteries would last longer.
Example of this:
Home user 34.95 EUR
Buisness user 44.95 EUR
The only real difference is the modem. And for 20 EUR more, you get a fixed IP (that costs them nothing)
I have VDSL 100M down 40M up. I bought my own Fritzbox. The downside is that SSH is not supported to the router and although there are some ways around it, it is not as easy as I like it to be.
