Bulgaria has a corporate tax at 10%. The e-government isn't nearly as developed though. There was some talk about using the Estonian experience to help in building ours but that is still just an idea.
Yeah I am really hoping that Bulgaria and/or Estonia will be added to a list of countries being incorporated by http://startupr.com/ to make the process easier.
You may try to contact the authors in the papers directly. In addition to getting the paper you might even get to discuss the issues directly with the authors.
At this stage I am mostly trying to get an overview and trying to find out what I need to know. This means reading a few books to give me the background knowledge I know and it means surveying what is being published to identify topics I need to explore. This usually means _skimming_ a lot of material to determine if it is worth my time right now. If I need to contact the author, that slows the process down a lot.
Yes, there is a tradition in academic publishing of sending several unbound copies of the printed article to the original author, which they will then send to people who write to them requesting them; these copies are called "offprints". Your mileage requesting copies of articles from surviving authors might vary, but mine has generally been very good.
I use 2 FullHD screens where one is dedicated to code and the other is for console, project explorer, logviewer etc. All the other stuff is in different workspaces (Unfortunately I must develop on Windows, but I found mDesktop that allows to create virtual desktops).
Why would you separately put two "different" colors of paint on your pad, when as far as you can tell they are identical?
I can understand mixing them, or using first one then the other (after you run out of one) - but shading the image partly with one color and parts with another?
The only conclusion is that they were not identical to him, and this software is not correctly showing us what he saw.
Simple: You mix the colors one way, paint for a while, go off to some other part, mix the first color again, and paint again. If you can't tell the differences between two colors, it's easy to come up with two similar/'identical' colors that are really quite different to someone with a different color perception.
While this article doesn't remotely prove that this is what's happened, it seems like a possibility to me.
The effect where colors with different spectral power distributions matches under certain conditions due to the observer or the light source, is called metamerism.
I'd preffer the first one, you are a startup so your company won't have 4 years of experience in the industry, you have. Also clients will figure out that you are a one man startup anyway.
> Hire a trainer and pay in advance for 3 months so there's a penalty for not doing it.
Actually this is not a good motivator, find something you like, otherwise you end up with a 3 month (or a year :P) gym etc. pass and still not exercise. With this kind of forcing you might actually start hating exercise.
In Estonia you can vote from almost anywhere if you have ID-card and working internet connection.
It's really convenient and people are using this more and more. For example last elections 15.75% of votes were made using internet. Official statistics can be found from http://vvk.ee/voting-methods-in-estonia/engindex
Also there are talks that they want to enable voting with mobile phones (there are already solutions where you can log in to banks and other websites with mobile phones).

By any chance, is your most recently elected president called "moot"? Is there or has there ever been a legal motion to rename the country to "4chanistan"?
I think I might know what caused your recent problems, and it's not Russia or the EU.
Hehe, luckily it's not that easy to get the ID-card.
You have to prove you are Estonian citizen (or become one) and the system is secure enough that people can trust their money and sign legal documents with this system.
Actually this is one weak point in the system. If some crook gets hold of your ID-card and your PIN codes, he can sign documents that are legally binding. (For example sell your house for a dollar etc.)

Sorry. I don't understand this comment.
Is it trying to say, that electronic voting is by definition a failure? It doesn't seem to criticize any specific aspect of the Estonian e-voting system.
I jest, I jest :) Still, I've heard of some cool governmental tech over there. Voting, as grandparent said, along with cell-phone payment of gasoline, painless e-banking with 2 factor auth, and other cool stuff.
I also remember a pyramid that was built in that area that was on History International... I _think_ it was there, as it talked more about the architecture than the location, other than temps going from 80F to -30F.
I don't think it is. But even so as they live next door to Russia I think it's probably a good thing to try these things out and learn things the hard way.
