Congrats! The community wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for your witty contributions

Good luck, everyone

I’ve done so with new album releases of the Arctic Monkeys and the Eels on numerous occasions

Btw, this thread is a great way to find more artists to look for on Spotify! Thanks!

I really wonder what the whole 20Gb business turns out to mean. It could be severely limiting when that’s all the files you can access, and could require people to continuously move files around (at the same time eating away at Adobe’s bandwidth). Sounds like a loss-loss.

Just stumbled upon a legendary Stackoverflow post , and figured I’d share a few of the shorter ones

Q: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, that’s a hardware problem

Q: How many Prolog programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Yes.

Q: Why don’t jokes work in octal?
A: Because 7 10 11

[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && echo rm -rf / || echo *Click*

EDIT: Added an extra ‘echo’ to prevent injury

themedutch & Joost: what about 30% tax ruling? I think it would be awesome if I manage to qualify for it. Do you think I can qualify without a masters degree? All I have is a really good CV.

I was completely unaware of the entire thing Reading into it a bit, it seems like quite a nice way to attract foreign talent, I guess. I’m not sure what the qualification requirements are, and I can’t seem to find any specific guidelines, but I do know that practically anything IT-related is quite strongly in demand around here.

I’m not sure I know what you mean, exactly. The contact form sends a message directly to your e-mail address, and as an added bonus it also adds a link so you can verify that the sender has purchased your file. Why would you want to replace that with just a blob of text mentioning your e-mail address?

Surely you could just include your e-mail address in your profile text, if that’s what you want to do?

Ah, that explains all the people in my Twitter timeline talking about re-watching the entire series today

But if you like the PJs Luxury life and you don’t have to show up every day at the office, go to the south. Life is peaceful over here and much cheaper.

Sounds like those ‘Zuid-Limburg’ ads they aired a while ago to attract people to live there

50k looks not bad, depend of what kind of job. After taxes etc it will be around +/- 3100,—a month, I assume they pay you in Euro….

Roughly €30k (€2500 a month) after taxes, I think. 37% over the first ~20k and then 42% over the rest (as it’s just below the 52% scale) adds up to about 20k in income tax.
