I'm living in Romania now and can confirm this. My friends in Germany can only dream about such uplinks. Internetwise, Germany feels like a Second World Country for me now. The rds founder seems like a very smart man. I never met him but I like him already :)

Let's see if Cluj can continue to build and hold the startup scene there.

The answers to those questions are actually quite simple. Christians believe that there's an epic battle for mankind going on between God and Lucifer which started when God created Men, because God loves Men more than the angels (and Lucifer).

The tree was a test for mankind which Satan made Adam and Eve fail. God had to stick to his rules and the consequences ensued. The tree was neccessary because Men are to have free will. God wants them to love him and that's not possible when there's no alternative.

There's a whole set of rules, that's why he won't kill Satan just now. Christians believe mankind isn't innocent per definition since they were cast out of Eden. All the bad we see in this world is because of that and because Men has free will and Satan keeps pulling strings to keep them away from God. In this sense, Satan tempts People and makes them sin which in turn can't make them come to God.

God's final answer is Jesus who presents Men with a solution to escape Satan's grip and position themself with God.

That's what christians who want to make sense of it all believe anyway ;-)

The only real contradiction I see is that God says he's perfect but still created mankind and wants people to love him.

Really impressed with how they work on people.

I did a facebook auth and retweet, a couple of minutes later I had two new private followers and a personalized email with "Hey Daniel, I vouched for you to apply for the StartupBus this year. Go here to find out more and definitely apply so my vouching for you isn't wasted."

I know it's all automated but the feeling of being kind of important still stays.

i just have "urxvt.urgentOnBell: true" in my .Xdefaults so it raises the urgent hint of my window manager when someone says my name. never had the urge to get other notifications. cool solution, though.

The LESS CSS Grid 16 years ago

I like the idea, but working with Sass and the 1140px cssgrid.net (cssgrid because it degrades so nicely on mobile phones) I don't see much pain taken away there.

screen (multi-user, persistent)

+ irssi (irc)

+ bitlbee (XMPP, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Twitter. OTR built in)

+ gpg (on-the-fly encrypted config and log directories)

it's a hacker's solution but it's not complicated to put together when you know your way around those applications.
