I think I can do that too. I think he never really implied that the highest price meant better quality. If you try, you can read that from the article, but there is something else you can read from it.

I think what he was saying was more like: if the difference in costs is smaller than the appreciated gaining in life comfort, then do it, spend the money in the expensive one.

The point being, don't be cheap if not being cheap can make your life better.

Have you read the book The Elementary Particles from Michel Houellebecq? There is something in it about what you are talking about, and it is an interesting novel, that I think, reads more like an essay towards the end, heh.

Unless he starts using his legs for extra propulsion!

He just implied he doesn't. Not that his pages doesn't render, he just don't care to polish them for IE.

Ah, good hackers will eventually learn English, at their own pace though. Why spend 6 months in a really intensive English training course stopping everything else when you can have an influx of material on your own language now?

Plus, believe me when I say, not every Mexican teenager guy/gal with skills have the resources to pay a training course like the one you suggest (I didn't, learnt it on my own, took many years, still not perfect though).

I know this is a particular case, but want to share anyway.

I always heard in Mexico that German people were very cold and dry. When I visited north Germany about 4 years ago, I was introduced to my aunt's mother-in-law, and as I'm accustomed I went right up to her, gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. Well her reaction amused me, she got in a very cheerful mood and I got an extra spoonful of food at the table. :)

A handshake is to a hug, what a signature on a form is to a personal note.

There, fixed that for you. ;)

No? then you suggest to wait at least 6 months after an intensive time-consuming-I-can't-do-anything-else English fast course to get up to speed to a competent English hacker level, so I can read/participate in something like HN?

Does this looks realistic to you? considering that the number of good Spanish hackers to-be and that-are is not small.

Yup, we put no restrictions to what content can be linked to.

We just ask that the comments and opinions are made in Spanish.

That is subjective. You can feel it is bloated, but I would call it handy and expressive.
