You should also check out Cockta from Slovenia. It was introduced in 1953 in Yugoslavia.

Re:CEBIT Hanover to be cancelled on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @01:19PM (#18554088)
My father went there sometime around 1990 on a business trip and brougt back a handheld grayscale scanner. The software ran in DOS.

My school nootebooks were packed with pictures printed on a dot-matrix printer.

I also always say this to others. It doesn't matter if it works 99.9% of the time. It took them maybe 10 years to get the software to this point. But it will take 50 years to solve the rest. And nobody is going to use the systems before that.
I did the same thing, but then realised it's pointless when you have flightradar24.com ...
Re:N26 raises $160M from Tencent and Allianz on Tuesday March 20, 2018 @02:34PM (#16631260)
I have had N26 for more than a year. I use it for shopping, as a secondary account. I don't use cash anymore.

I've had no problems. But why do they have the "Statistics" button on their website if I couldn't use it since I registered???

Sorry, my mistake. You learn something new every day.
In about 20 minutes, an explosive documentary about this will be airing on Channel 4 BBC.

Only in your narrow minded libertarian brain does that sound absurd.

Government regulation exists precisly for the purpose of making inter-personal relations more efficient.

They are a Slovenian company.
Re:Regarding the NiceHash security breach on Thursday December 07, 2017 @01:43AM (#15868174)
The Slovenian media is reporting that the majority owner of NiceHash is the father of the programmer who created the Butterfly bot (Mariposa botnet) and got busted by the FBI.

I heard he taught as an assistant at the CS school I went to some time ago.

I'm not convinced. Why am I supposed to take sides in a fight between two industries?
I've never been to the U.S. I just hate unfair competition.

A bitcoin fork is a political decision on the currency, like the ones central banks make.

There are going to be a lot of forks in the future.

Re:Footage of life in Nazi Austria, thanks to a new video archive on Wednesday November 11, 2015 @02:22PM (#10548610)
I love the Christopher Hitchens quote: "... the two great achievements of Austria was to convince the world that Hitler was German, and that Beethoven was Viennese."

Can the team leave the employer for another one, or is this another case of indentured servitude with a funny name?
I think it's mainly a jobs problem. People are going to freak out in a few years when they will find out how many people have become passive by the recession of 2008, especially in the periphery countries of the EU, where unemployment is high.
