I think this is a very though subject and cannot be treated so easily.

Visa policies might be very different from one country to another, updated quiet often etc.

What you believe to be the source of truth on the internet might not be the actual truth. For personal reasons I recently had to know whether or not a Visa was required for a personal short travel to Russia for a Mauritius citizen. Various information can be found on the internet, some says yes, some says no. Your website says a visa is required. However, a visa is not required in this case.

It's very tricky to get the correct information, always up to date, and your website can lead to people having issues entering a country.

It also applies here in France, especially northern/eastern parts close to Germany.

Well, not for Chantal, which is not a very exotic name here.

"A store that welcomes competition."

I thought they wouldn't dare listing web browsers in that competition... well they did.

It's cool after all, average users have no idea about the difference between a browser and the engine...

Well, they already planned that all of us will have a laptop + a cell phone. (We don't get to choose our hardware so desktop PC is not an option...)

At my current job, they plan to move office and to change the organisation from "open office layout" to what they call "dynamic layout", including no designated desks.

And they made some studies stating that an average of X% of the company workforce time is spent in meeting rooms, so they can cut off the number of desks by X% (minus a small delta).

People will even have lockers to store personal stuff...

I'm looking forward to see how that will work, have a good laugh and quit.
