Food / Where to buy "yerba mate" in Poland? [20]

No offense intended but you must be kidding me with this question.

yerbamateshop.cz
mate-tee.de/Mate-Tee:::6.html
yerbamateshop.sk
yerbamatestore.pl/

compare prices, i find Czech and Slovak (euro) bit cheaper than the Polish ones
(I am talking in general, not about "yerba-mate")

Work / Opening new college of computer science in Poland - how can I find lecturers? [13]

that 2000$+ is just min. base of our research in web

The salary is insulting, I was getting this per week plus accommodations while working in Indonesia.

Yes the Poles are excelling in IT in recent years, many migrated but they also know their value.
They have good reputation in the west, at least here in the US.

Maybe you would find someone 10 years ago but not today
(with your requested credentials)

In any case, good luck

UK, Ireland / Why are Brits so left-wing? [60]

The UK technically has a "Conservative" party, but I think its an insult to conservative ideology for them to be called conservative.

That's why they are called CONservatives

And as for the British "Labour Party", I don't think any party like that would ever win an election in America.

That is why it is really called LIEBour Party.

Life / Client of T-mobile having an iPhone 4 & iOS 7.1.2 - problem with connecting to the Poland's network [3]

I never had an iPhone nor I ever will.
The problem you are having is as follows, during update your APN was erased.
Newer devices might not to be up to speed with the mobile provider(s) or vice versa,
plus devices like the iPhone only have a limited number of these carriers built in (usually the carriers which have an official relationship with Apple)

For example T-Mobile in US just recently started selling iPhone.. so in older iPhone devices T-Mobile network wasn't listed in APN.
APN=Access Point Name
BTW, is your iPhone jailbroken?

APN principle applies not only to iPhone but Android and other OS's

From what I understand T-Mobile in Poland is not that long---I judge this from conversation with my friend from Poland who never heard of T-Mobile before, about 2 years ago.

First get in touch with T-Mobile rep in Poland and see what he/she has to say.

Solution # 1 revert to previous OS version (i think there is a time limit that you can do so)
How to link : daily.bhaskar.com/article/GAD-unhappy-with-ios-7-here-is-how-to-downgrade-to-ios6-4380650-NOR.html

Solution #2a go to PDA/Smarthphone Forums and dig for answers. Do not settle for anything less then this following Forums. I give you a link to the similar thread for starters.

Do not pay attention about different devices, principle for APN is the same.. just Apple is messing things up.

Solution #2b go to iPhone Forum, regarded one of the top ones for Apple.
link: forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1642124&highlight=after+upgrade+lost+apn

Last but not least, use common sense, if not sure what you are doing, don't do it.
I take no responsibility whatsoever if you brick your phone. XDA Forum is for developers.
Good Luck.

Law / Giving notice that you are recording someone - Do they have this in Poland? [14]

To the best of my knowledge recording phone conversations in Poland without consent is illegal.

Anyhow in the US of A is a very different matter. It depends in which state one lives in.. There are two laws, first "One party law" & "Two (2) parties law".

In the latter case one must inform the other party that you will record the conversation.
Example I live in New York state the "one party law" and I am not obligated by law to inform you that i will record our conversation..

If one lives in California then there is an obligation to inform the other party.

The law however becomes tricky how and if one can use such recording in court litigations.
And on international level it becomes mumbo-jumbo..

And I do record all phone conversation for almost 10 years (starting with pda's) same with Skype including the video.
Not to eavesdropping on people that I talk to but strictly for personal references.

Here is the link to hard data on the matter in pdf format

easier and shorter data

Travel / Lake near Krakow (Zakrzówek Lake?) [12]

I am not from Krakow, but was going to school there.
And to my best recollection there are no lakes in the true sense of the word in the immediate vicinity of Krakow, with place to swim or have a picnic.

We (me and my school-mates) were going to artificial lake, very dirty, called "glinianka" (referring to mud formed) if my memory is serving me right.

I have found on this Forum another thread concerning the matter, hope you find the right information fitting your needs.
