Not sure if this counts, but I stuffed some pumps into old cisco switches and use those as cocktail machines.

Not sure what you are looking for, but I think the security world has many puzzles to offer.

Spot the bug in a given piece of code. Find the problem by looking at the patch. Switch from source to binary if that is too easy.

Or look into reversing. If that gets boring, try reversing some complicated malware.

I would consider travelling as a big opportunity for any career, given that it is hard to avoid to make good contacts and new friends.

Best if you are able to combine working in your field of choice with visiting a new place.

Anecdata: I started to travel a bit about a decade ago and still have (business and personal) relationships with people from that very first trip.

No clue, but if you are just looking for another format: Search for youtube to mp3 services.

> Nor is mobile phone.

Germans do use the word 'handy' when referring to a mobile phone.

To us, 'handy' sounds like it could be the actual English word for mobile phone. When we hear 'public viewing' we think of people watching soccer together outdoor on a big screen. And I guess that most of us first think of a laptop computer when we hear the word 'notebook'.

Re:Ask HN: What do you use for PDF reports these days? on Sunday October 12, 2014 @12:28AM (#8444389)
I run http://template2pdf.com/ as a side project.

Take a LibreOffice/OpenOffice document as your template and send a simple http request with the values you want to replace (with support for images and what you call 'repeatable parts'). The system will then return a link where you can pick up your generated pdf.

Those delays can be caused by greylisting.
