  1. Re:e-stonian speaking here on E-Voting Source Code Made Public In Estonia · · Score: 1
    Thanks for the links! It looks like that section is not about permanent residence. Upon checking article 19:

    Upon application Member States shall issue Union citizens entitled to permanent residence, after having verified duration of residence, with a document certifying permanent residence.

    New: The fact of having acquired a permanent right of residence entails a series of important additional rights. For this reason Union citizens are entitled to apply for a document certifying permanent residence.

    It is possible that I misunderstood something, I'm terrible at legalese even though this document's fairly simple. In Estonia the ID-card is the document which among other functions certifies permanent residence. Also, it's rather annoying not to have one, as it is used for identifying oneself in electronic environments and for signing documents with a digital signature - and most of the documents are electronic in Estonia.

    If you have a valid Estonian driver's license and you are the registered owner of the vehicle you are driving, you can also prove this by simply showing your ID-card to the police, when prompted to. This only works within Estonia, though, I don't think the rest of the EU has access to these databases.

    I know I'm now late, but could you provide a source? I'd really like to learn more but I can't really find any official rulings. I'd appreciate it a lot!

    I'm sorry, unfortunately the English translation removes some of the nuances: "Isikutunnistus ehk ID-kaart on Eesti kodaniku ja Eestis püsivalt elava Euroopa Liidu kodaniku kohustuslik isikut tõendav dokument." Trying really hard to come up with a better translation here; would you accept "The identification document, also known as ID-card"? Probably not. I'm sorry, but this is mainly a translation issue. The card itself is still mandatory for Estonian citizens and EU citizens whose permanent country of residence is Estonia.

    The ID card is mandatory for citizens. https://www.eesti.ee/eng/topics/kodakondsus/eesti_kodakondsus/isikut_toendavad_dokumendid (English version).

    Well, but for people who live in countries, where about $4/h is something like the average, this IS pretty darn good.

  6. Re:Instantly hot! on Self-Heating Coffee Hacking · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'm pretty sure the beverage which should be served to get a girl hot varies tremendously.

    One of the most charming abilities a guy can demonstrate is making me a cup of coffee which actually gets me to open my eyes in the morning. The beverage will most probably look and taste like asphalt but that's beyond the point.

    Of course, an ability to choose a god wine doesn't do any harm either, quite the contrary.

    And for my mother it's the tea, and for my best female friend it's buying exactly the right beer. So there.

    Common sense is not really that common, as you probably know.

  8. Re:But seriously, SHOWER! on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure, I'm hanging out with the wrong guys, most of all because I don't hang out that much.

    At least most of the people I hang out with know how to write "definitely". Or I think they do. If by "think" I mean "hope".

    Well, as I was sitting in one of the computer classes of my university, bitching with some idiotic guy responsible for "keeping an eye" on the class, he finally got tired of me and got me someone who understood what I was talking about.

    So, the other guy walks in, while I've casually started reading /. and stares at me for a while. Then he looks at the screen. Then at me again. Finally he asks: "You're female?", to which i reply with the affirmative. Next question being "Are you lost?". I say "no" and he asks me to marry him.

    And he even got me that dvorak-keyboard I had asked the other guy for.

    Nonetheless, I'm single. I think it's because most guys I know can't really stand Star Wars and don't understand jokes which require some knowledge about quantum physics. And I kind of get turned off by questions like "What's a kernel?" and "Would you help me with my PHP assignment?". Mind you, one of my ex-boyfriends has actually asked me both of them - he was an IT student and I'm just a philologist.

    Hah, as a recovering anorexic, I should say something like "NOOOO!", but well, the point really is that when I didn't eat then it was despite the fact that "men like curvier women". What about what I like?

    Anyway, and porn is normal, I wouldn't mind if my boyfriend watched porn. Hell, I'd watch it with him. Perhaps it's just me. I just mean that not all girls are porn-hating emowhores. But then again, not all girls subscribe to /., so maybe I don't really count.
