At my work we are considering to open an office and incorporate in the US (We are based in Germany). Are there states that easier to set up an office? Delaware? Our costumers are manly in the Chicago area and the north east.

This is definitely untrue. There were a bunch of studies in Germany that concluded the opposite, which is why the laws were changed here. It is now often illegal to change lanes e.g. the last 300m before the merge point. There are several

Haha, I kind agree, but I also lived in the US for a while. I talked to a coworker a while back though, and he came back from a conference in the US and was annoyed that waiters kept asking him if he wanted anything and when he said he didn

> An O(n) algorithm is also O(n^2), O(2^n), etc. To be fair, it is pretty common to be a little bit sloppy with this definition. People often say O(...) when they really mean Θ(...).

Really? That seems odd. I have been using firefox on a 6 year old macbook pro for many years and mac is not exactly there best supported platform. I can't remember the last time this happened to me. Do you have a test case which can be
