In Eastern Europe, "socialism" doesn't mean anything. Same about the other ______isms. There is just more or less OLIGARCHY. If I rememebr well, in Romania, most of the right-wing …

Be serious. 2000 people protesting in a town of 2 million is not a mass protest. A couple of hundred people people protesting in several other towns, which have a population of 300…

If flash memory gets very cheap, the USB drives will still have the same price (but they will come with 80 GB instead of 4 GB capacity).

StartSSL works fine with all recent browsers. (I think IE 7+)

How did the author connect the number of startups with the safety net and reached the conclusion that the safety net is a good (or a bad) thing? What if in countries with social sa…

Windows XP is still being supported by Microsoft (until April 2014). I think that IE8 is the most recent version of Internet Explorer which will ever work on Windows XP.

It can serve beer in a crowded pub :)

If you don't spend any money, the State can print without creating inflation. Imagine that there are $1000 in the world, and you earn $450 of them. Then you burn all your money ins…
