No government is stupid enough to throw someone into jail just because he made some calls through some cheaper operator which was only recently declared illegal in some obscure announcement.

Look at the brighter side - there're no dangerous animals and agressive natives to worry about!

I read this as: like cancer, C++'s stronger and much more powerful than its old host; taking all the nutrition and grows bigger and bigger at mindblowing speed; changes (mutates) quickly and spreads to everywhere expanding its influence. Unfortunately all these things come at the expense of C and other languages.

Such things happen every day, every time.

Exactly what Liu and other public intellects did. And they all ended up in jail, regarded as state enemies just because they said China could change and do better, with some other ways.

Never, ever buy any laptop marketed as "exceptional, premium graphics on a business notebook", "discrete high-performance graphics card" and whatever marketingspeak involving "great" graphics, unless you're actually seeking a cooker. That not so high performance Radeon burnt itself and fried the motherboard and CPU in the progress, some days later all I got for replacement from HP was some refurbished crap. Not really sure whether this is second class service from HP in China or that's what they always do.

Why the notebooks nowadays just don't seem to be able to handle its own heat?

Because it's insanely complex and stealthy?

An image came to my mind: everyone is GPS-tracked and implanted with a remote electrocution kit and the batteries.

For some reasons I think I would Mod you funny if I had points.

There are too many characters sharing the same pronunciation, a simple transition to a phonetics system would be extremly annoying and painful. Too many examples... let me pick a random one.
xi - If written like this, it can stand for: inhale, suck, west, rare, sparse, happiness, play, wash, etc, etc; and when combined with "la", diarrhea.

OK if there's context, otherwise completely unusable.

Despite your countless security holes, bad implementations of web standards and all these bad browser-dependent HTML codes caused by you, you really gave all these laymen in the world a simple way to explore the Internet. And glad to see that you're improving.

Imagine soldiers firing compact railguns with these dollars as ammo at the bad guys... extremly effective if the enemies run to pick up the coins.
