All the areas where Catalan is spoken as a mothertongue:

All of them share the coat of arms of the crown of Aragon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_the_Crown_of_A... . Thus using the "four red pallets on a gold background" represents all the speakers in different European countries.

IIRC it is possible to 'share'. Here's what some reddit users reported: you go with your account in the family device, go to buy the IAP again, it will tell you that you already bought it, so it won't charge you and it will get downloaded. After that, when the device goes back to the owner's account, the content will already be there.
Re:Kimchi: HTML5 management interface for KVM on Monday September 12, 2016 @05:06AM (#12478167)
Kimchi project was started by the same IBM developers in Beijing that were contributing to oVirt.

Very nice folks I must say. It was a pleasure to collaborate with them in oVirt.

opengl is often faster on GNU/Linux. Also, there's Vulkan.
Same here. I have android and GNU/Linux and Firefox is set up as default on both.

RH acquires non open projects very commonly. It's after they start the acquisition that the closed products go open source.

How does such process work? What determines the market rate for the adjustments?

He got fat much before he retired. The last three seasons at Madrid he was overweight but still the most explosive player in the box.

Now RHEL and CentOS have a solution for python 3.3

Salaries and startup scene in Prague are not by far what you can find in Vienna though.
I'm just saying how we do it in my oil producing town. The oil you get from your production or from a town producer in the local mill is for salads, toasts, etc. Oil bought in packs of 3-5l in the supermarket (extra-virgin brands) is what we use for frying.

It is so much like that, that now that I live abroad I'm flying with 8l packs of my town's oil at least twice a year.

Here in the link you can see for each label of origin they list which varities of olives are more common:

http://www.worldsofflavorspain.com/node/385

(arbequina is a most common variety and more spicy in the aftertaste, but as you can see, like with wine, different varieties produce so different results that talking in generics is rather uneducated).

There are many kinds of olive varieties, some of them growing in the span of one or two towns. Saying it is supposed to taste like this or like that without saying from which kind of olives it was made sounds kind of nonsensical.

Another matter is that of honesty. Italy is known to export more olive oil than it produces and it is buying production from quite a lot of towns in my country and then mixing it and packaging it with oils from other places.

If you want good olive oil, try to find small productions, ensure that it was stored in the dark if possible and taste it first (dipping bread on the oil not just sprinkling, it should be quite soaked). Supermarket olive oil of any price is only suitable for frying, that much is known.

Try doing that as an employee also in ex-eastern bloc countries. Now... That would be impressive...

Re:SIM Cards Must Die on Friday March 23, 2012 @07:57AM (#3744733)
As an engineer working in the SIM card industry, as long as they add some other form of secure element for placing highly sensitive data like bank/id applets it would still be reasonable.

As others have commented though, I'm afraid that they would use it to lock the consumer to phone specific plans.

I like a lot the ability to take my SIM card to other phones, as it allows to carry some kind of ID with me, there are better and seamless ways of doing that that I can't wait to be implemented and deployed (a user and password to put when booting the phone is not a solution).

Re:Clojure implemented on top of Python on Tuesday February 14, 2012 @07:18AM (#3589703)
I was thinking of doing just that last weekend. I look forward to start soon and hopefully use some of the infrastructure/ideas of this python implementation.
Agreed.

Prague as well, at least we didn't have to mark it as eastern Europe.
