@hippietrail the long-stay-visa is a slippery slope for a tag. I worry people are going to use it for their 'moving to a place for 2 years' questions which is essentially immigration and off-topic :/
(yes, you can move to a place for 2 years temporarily, but many won't see it like that, and use it as fodder for immigration questions)
@Doc yes, I was on a 'long term' working holiday visa (2 years) and then a 5 year ancestry visa for the UK, but I hadn't immigrated as such. However, it's bordering very dangerously on immigration, which is my worry
@MarkMayo i thought about that and considered calling it "european long term visa" or "long sojurn" visa, but in our questions it was mostly called "long stay visa" and i thought people would complain about a tag name that long, if it's not too long for the system to even allow
@HaLaBi: no worries. i'm back on the road in non-touristy areas. this place has a computer but i haven't checked yet for a wi-fi signal
@Gagravarr: in this one all the buildings seem to be finished and very new. but half look never occupied and half look like businesses tried and failed already
but there's also a chance it's some kind of place for university students but my friend near beijing is about to do his finals so i don't think school is out at the moment. i'll get some photos in the morning
to find where i am look for hohhot on google maps, then look for the freeway to beijing. just north of the onramp is the surreal place where i am
@HaLaBi to earn the tumbleweed badge you need "Asked a question with no votes, no answers, no comments, and low views for a week. " and there were some comments from 29th dec so don't blame @MarkMayo
I'm searching for a Citibank branch in Leipzig.
I've checked google maps and it's not really updated because the one that was mentioned in Goethestrasse was changed into a TargoBank.
So, now that it's 2014, it's time for a code question involving the number 2014.
Your task is to make a program that prints the number 2014 without using any of the characters 0123456789 in your code.
The shortest code (counting in bytes) to do so in any language in which numbers are valid toke...
I need to install English language TeamViewer on a computer in China running Chinese Windows XP.
I don't own the computer so can't change the OS. It's in a hotel with a computer but without Wi-Fi. But I've found I am able to install software (I don't know if it will get erased on reboot).

I remember seeing this on cable wwaaayyy waaaayyyy back when I was a kid may be 8 or 9. There was this African clan leader... and his clan was hungry traveling for days and finding no animals to eat
so this guy, leads his clan to a shore and using his religious staff, draws something on the banks, and sings a song, and lo and behold, fish start jumping out from the river and his clan eats them all
I was looking at the question Andra asked about hte new year time zone.. and the answer had these islands
Kiribati and Samoa
Whenever I look at these tiny islands/countries and I see how populous they are ... I always wonder what the circle of life is. How did so many people come to inhabit this place? How do people in their society become rich/ poor ? How does the economy of any country work ?
Does anyone else think on these lines ? If so, what are your findings ?
well, how about living in the most rich country on earth? with over 80 large gold mines and basically on an ocean of oil... but 80% of population living on rented houses?
