This somehow reminds of a productivity study done with factory workers (sorry couldn't find a source of sime kind, so this if from memory). They had to carry out relativly simple manual labor taks, the goal of the study was to analyze if there is a link between productivity and brightness of the workplace. After increasing the brightness in the factory productivtiy was rising. So the brightness was increased again and again to find the optimal lighting. Some day workers were showing up wearing sunglasses. The actual reason why productivity rose wasn't the brightness but the attention those blue collar workers were getting from the scientist carrying out the study.
My guess is that when you are beeing monitored (no pun intended) productivity will always rise. Especially if you get a fancy curved surface display like in the microsoft study.
The problem at the moment is that wikileaks can't handle the growth both in terms of submitted documents and volunteers lining up to help.
Daniel Domscheit-Berg said in a german interview a few months ago that they have a full inbox for programmers willing to extend the plattform, but they don't have any resources to review the applications nor the "middle management" to coordinate them.
Also Assange has put no effort into changing this in favour of releasing these "big" scoops. So: at the moment there probably isn't much you can do in terms of direct involvement.
Almost what i expected. I got a 34k offer (same industry) with good benefits but am unsure if its worth the move. Main problem seems to be the rent which is ridiculous if you want to minimze commute time to the centre.
I think with most places in London you're looking at a 45min-1hour commute, unless you live REALLY close in zone 1 or something.
For me my commute is as follows: -
20 minute walk from house to tube station(could take a bus which would take 10 mins, but I prefer the exercise)
15 mins on the tube to Bond Street
10 minute walk from there to work
Financial sector in london typically goes from about 30k (entry level grad) upto about 100k. Or if you're contracting day rate is normally in the £500-£800/day range.
The competition in this market is quite strong in germany, there are 5 major companys offering basically the identical dedicated server service. The servers are not virtualized, therefor you usually have to commit to longer running contracts or higher setup fees.
Not having read all the other comments, so this has probably been mentioned: the subscription page has too much text. Apart from the size difference I don't immediately see what distinguishes products.
