Russian was my first language, then I moved to Germany (age 5) and starting at age 6 German became my 'main language', in that I started thinking in it and being more fluent in it than in Russian, which I only used at home. At age 16 I set myself a challenge: think only in English! After some time, it became my thinking language, although maths were still done in German (German school, German university).

As the others, when talking in a specific language I think it, too. Recently I started forcing myself to count and do maths in English as well, and now it became effortless. At some point, I found thinking in Japanese to be quite pleasant, but as my vocabulary is rather limited I switched back to English. Really, my reasons for thinking in a particular language are convenience and aesthetics.

What I am dreaming in? Just this night I was dreaming in English; I can distinctly remember English phrases that I said.

When making personal notes, I write them down in English. Also, whenever there is a choice between English and some other language (web sites, books) I prefer the former.
Even though I've only ever been once to England for one week and have no English-speaking friends/relatives, it became my most used language. I just like it way more than my other two alternatives and it's much more practical.

I am 21 years old now and speak fluently in German, Russian, English and to a limited extent in Japanese.
Now I use Russian to talk to relatives and my girlfriend; German to my friends, acquaintances, generally people around here; English for consuming media (movies, books, internet).

(dm^3)/(100*km) is fine, but I prefer to simplify by measuring gas consumption in square meters.

Get your ass to Mars, ... Get your ass to Mars, ... Get your ass to Mars, ...
And build a reactor that we can then start to release the water into the atmosphere.

Just don't forget to start those reactors.

After all, we need to give these people air.

My case is almost the same, only I switched from manuals to science fiction novels at some point. English lessons at school consisted mostly of handheld console games for me.
In addition to that, I learned German (to the greatest part; of course I had some interaction as well) from TV at age 5, when I moved to Germany. When school started (a year later) I could read, write and speak better German than most of my native classmates.

Back on topic, I agree with the notion that at least developers should all have a functional English at their disposal, it makes life easier. Also, there isn't nearly as much (useful) content for developers to be found on German or Russian websites, as far as I've discovered so far. Well, in my opinion that also applies to most other topics as well, but that's a different story.

That's exactly how I see it. Laws are rules, nothing more. There's no "right" or "wrong", just preferences.

But still, my point was that hacking yourself is not as easy as it could/should be, because of legal restrictions. You can circumvent those, of course.

Yeah, good luck hacking your system when most interesting and promising hacks are not available or will land you in jail. Or the government actively prohibits any such hacking (see stem-cell debates).

I enjoyed Miku's rendition of Kraftwerk's Computer Love:

It combines my favorite Kraftwerk song with Japanese lyrics (and much more of them than in the original piece).

When I first encountered this work on YouTube I wasn't aware of Vocaloid and thought it to be a vocoded/otherwise edited human voice :D
