All in all, I find XP to be the most stable version of Windows in my experience.
I have equipment and software (that I spent more on than the wife thinks I should have) that runs better on XP for recording music Also the XP drivers are more stable for the multichanneel audio IO. The system is optimized for recording and has worked flawlessly for years. Of course part of the optimization is turning off all networking services and running without AV.
Since it is a stand-alone system I should not have to be concerned about security issues. That, and I have it imaged so if for any reason, or for hard drive upgrades I can simply replace the image and be ready to go in short order.
I'm sad to see it go.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Hi Buddies,
I'm from Brazil and my fiancee moved to Germany to study by a government program for one year and a half.
I'm looking for companies that would accept me working from home that will give me flexibility to stay with her in germany, in Aachen especifically.
If you guys now how to help me in someway, I would really appreciate.

Thank you guys.

Why would you want to work from home ? Getting a job in a foreign country is not easy, so starting right away with such constraints will not help you much...

I think he meant "Work from Germany for a Brazilian company or work for a German company [but not from home]"

I tried some companies, but almost all ask me for a visa and I don't have one. As I'm a Brazilian, I can stay only for three months in a european country with a tourist visa.

Sorry.
Yeah, it indeed sucks: To get a visa you need work, and to get work, you need a visa...

If you don't have a visa, you can't work in Europe at all, from home or not.
If you are caught, the fines for the company are large, you will be deported, and banned from re-entering for a number of years.
This is why companies want a visa: if you haven't got one, they are in big trouble if they employ you in any capacity.

Because of that, I thought that working from home for some company will be the best. I can travel to Germany stay for three months and after travel to some other country out of the schengen agreement and stay for more three months and get back to germany again and stay for more three months and so on.
Home-office here in Brazil is not very commom like are in others countries.

No...if you have a tourist visa, you can't work. Period.
And immigration are used to the swap-countries-and-come-back idea: they will probably spot you and get rather unpleasant about the whole idea...

Are you 100% sure about that? Like, is the German law that restrictive?
He is actually travelling on vacation to stay with her and doing work for a company when necessary that is not from that place.
Otherwise people who travel abroad shouldn't even answer the phone. And I've been to other countries that was not an issue.
Just saying, each country may have different views of what is a work visa for..

Have nothing to do with Germany per say. If you can work in EU it applies to all EU countries...

Fair enough,
But the idea still applies. You can replace Germany with EU in my last post.

Um...
Germans love rules:
It is an offence punishable with a fine and points on your licence to run out of petrol on a motorway.A "quiet time" is observed between noon and 3pm when it is forbidden to mow the lawn.It is illegal to wash your car at home - you must use a car wash.It is forbidden to hang washing out on Sunday.It is illegal to wear a mask while on strike.You can be fined 20 euros for calling someone an "arse" but 5,000 euros for calling an official a "little Hitler".So I think you can assume they are as hard - or harder - on illegal workers!

I think the best you can do legally without getting a work Visa for Germany would be a job in Brazil that's flexible enough to let you visit her in Germany regularly. Failing a full time job like that short term contracts would be a possibilty; but I don't know how readily available that is where you live.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

She left you for a year and a half... ? I think you should break the engagement. If you guys can't make major decisions together (let alone little ones), it's not going to work out well.

No man. It's her dream. I cannot stop her. Is normal, I trust her, we love each other and we will not break our relationship because of that.

So invest in good webcams, and skype lots - 18 months isn't too long if you are both committed to the relationship.
