44 percent of all Spaniards under 25 are currently jobless.

Maemo 5. I like that it's not tied to some tech giant, and that it comes with a console where you can simply do "apt-get install".

I suggest http://www.copernico.net/ ,who are in Spain. I've no affiliation, other than being a customer; in my experience, the service is excellent, the boss, Miguel Angel, is very easy to reach, and I've come to know him as an independent spirit, who does not like governmental intervention at all.

There are several candidates for "Wordpress for ERP"; try OpenERP, Openbravo, and Compiere.

The "bugs" in Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" make ample use of this idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7-PQIuWwLo

Let me offer a counterpoint: I started out with Word 3.0 for DOS, in 1987. From there, I went through lots of office software for PC, Mac, and Atari. A good ten years ago, I installed OpenOffice, which I have been using ever since. I never had any .doc compatibility problems.

Today, I'm working for a small retail company in Madrid, Spain: Ten people, running Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. All of us are using OpenOffice. It already was that way when I came here a year ago. Until now, I heard nobody even mentioning our office software. And these people are not "computer geeks" by any measure; we sell clothes.

I guess it is the reliance on Excel macros, which are not compatible with OpenOffice Calc, that prevents lots of companies from switching. If you don't depend on any of those, I honestly see no advantages in using MS Office.

What motivates you, at a personal level, to do this kind of work?

Probably a pirate ship, then:

The captain and quartermaster to receive two shares of a prize: the master, boatswain, and gunner, one share and a half, and other officers one and quarter.

re. 2: Not many, according to the sources I can find on that. Example: "[M]uscle tissue has been observed to burn roughly seven to 10 calories per pound per day, compared to two to three calories per pound per day for fat. Therefore, if you replace a pound of fat with a pound of muscle, you can expect to burn only approximately four to six more calories a day."

Isn't it one until at least the first major exit event happens, like, until an IPO, or something?

From the 5 sites I visited, it correctly flagged HN, WP and YT as visited, and gave a "whoops" for FB and Google (what does that mean?), which I both visited.

At least in Germany, as an artist, the only way to transfer your "Urheberrecht" to somebody else is to die. See §29 of the "Urheberrechtsgesetz" (copyright law) [1]:

"Das Urheberrecht ist nicht übertragbar, es sei denn, es wird in Erfüllung einer Verfügung von Todes wegen oder an Miterben im Wege der Erbauseinandersetzung übertragen."

(Translation: "Copyright is not transferable, unless it is transferred in execution of a testamentary disposition or to coheirs in the way of partition of an estate.")

In Spain, no.

Seems to me that the precision is greatest at http://3.14.jpg.to/, which has 1 reference.

Take a look at the Red Wing 101 [1], a.k.a. "the Postman". Designed in the 1950s for people who had to walk a lot while wearing a uniform - I actually first spotted them on the feet of policemen in New York -, they combine comfort with a simple-but-neat look which provides a nice contrast if worn with straight cuffed selvedge jeans.

I adopted the metaphor which works for me here from Ken Wilber, though I'm sure that the idea appears in the works of other writers, and much earlier: hierarchies of growth vs hierarchies of domination. The former (your "one hand") are nested hierarchies (inclusive); the latter (your "other hand") are conventional hierarchies (exclusive). The way I understand this is that "I am nothing" puts the "I" - whatever it is - at a leaf node if the reference is an exclusive hierarchy (a "hierarchy of domination"), whereas if the reference is an inclusive hierarchy (a "hierarchy of growth"), "I am nothing" appears at the root node.

Edit: typos.

I'm actually quite sad. This seems so unnecessarily self-destructive. It feels like watching a girl cut her forearms with a broken beerglass.

It does, at least for visual artists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Artists_Rights_Act

Energy which, the parent argues, comes from un-clean sources - that's the complaint. How is this complaint not "useful", as long as you don't rebut it by listing those possible energy sources which you consider "clean"? Then I might be convinced and say: "He's right, dirty water doesn't matter, since we can just clean it, using this guy's clean energy sources."

People, please... don't feed the trolls.

It seems like Raytheon stopped distribution because it was discovered that most of Swanson's "unwritten rules" had actually been written before, by other people, and he had just copied them without attribution: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/03/business/03cnd-raytheon.ht...

I think this depends on the definition. If you define it as "Given any competition with n competitors, where n>1, then n-1 of the competitors are losers", and you find 0 persons who have won all the competitions they participated in (which I think is a likely result), then everybody is a loser. Why should I think this is "bad"?

I find this very interesting. If I understand this correctly, the suggestions are: (1) the "slate" is relatively "blank" to start with (abstract objects, for instance, do not "exist", in the sense that they are inheritable); (2) a generic ability to abstract could very well be inheritable; (3) the "slate" remains in a "writeable" state longer than previously expected - the right "nurture" can enable the unfolding of potential abilities even relatively late in life (abstract objects can become "real", even though they don't "exist", in the sense that they can become "meaningful").
