I remember also the time where nobody visited the Gen Disc forum and there were very less threads. The "Where are we from" thread has changed a lot since then :)

Yves, this thread is older than you (barely)... and far older than me... Hmmm we missed the two-year anniversary of the thread but now it's the two-year anniversary of Yves' join date.

Maybe grouping the countries in those who make beer :thumb: and in those who make wine :thumbd: ... and those who make both ... Like Mick suggested :D

This would put the US in those who make wine :thumbd: then.

Though I do like wine as much as beer.

I think they have a Zoo somewhere in the mountains, but I can't figure it out where... With a Zoo in there, there is a chance for kanguroo's in Austria too. ;)

Just in the Zoo. Austria has no animal that is special just a ton of different insects, frogs, rats, mice and other unimportant stuff :rolleyes: ...

Hi all,

I just wanted to have the opinion of dimm_coder on the elections that just took place in Belarus. If he is still allowed to give an opinion ...

Hi Elrond,
Is your question an introduction for getting reactions about the american elections next week?? ;-)

I did not hear about the Belarussian elections, yet... I heard about the Polynesian ones, though... It seems to be a hard job.

Re: Where are we from ?

Because Luxembourg, having a population under 80,000 (less than my town) was included here, I think it must included also, for example, Kiribati (population about: 56,000), San Marino (about 21,500) and of course Vatican. Why not? Who knows how many programmers are there?...

Additional question:
What must check a Brazilian? Brazil or South America?

No, because I prefer not to say what I think about it. Plus a thread just for it would be required, while I don't think there will be that many comments on the elections in belarus (or the Polynesian ones). There has just been some in Tunisia and Afghanistan as well, but I don't know anyone here that is local and might comment on them.

Although a rare species, I'm sure that some exist in small numbers ;) . They sometimes migrate to other areas in search for more plentiful job markets, more interesting projects and larger paychecks.

The first step is to look at something from both sides of the table ;) . The second one is to keep a level head and not have some people tell you what you should think. When you're at that stage, you should figure out what to do next.

Luxembourg has a population of about half a million now (450.000 to be more exact). And it's included because I am from Luxembourg and asked pretty much at the start to have it included. It's a tad late for including other countries now, since so many people have already voted and it would be impossible to reshuffle the votes correctly.

Thanks for the answer dimm. I knew most of that, the only thing is that I just wanted to have the internal opinion of a person. Well, when you will have time then ! :)

So you have overlooked a lot of things then. Overlook means not looking at ... Well, not always,but in this case I guess that's what Solarflare meant.

Elrond's right, overlook != look over... gotta love English.

As for me, I'm doing well. I made my second billion last week, then lost it in Vegas, ended up owing $400 million to a bellhop. Then some other random stuff happened and it worked out exactly even. Funny how things happen.
