Next time there's a similar emergency in the States you should follow the news, there was foreign help after these incidents.

A US-made problem is that it all has to be done by US registered vessels and the US Corps of Engineers, for foreigners it's very difficult to offer equipment and personnel.

Uhh, she was in the process of undressing...

I'm not sure what rock you're living under but Malala is quite frequently in the Western European news for commenting on or attending one or other international conference on the subject of women education.

You are correct that Atyarthi is working in one country but you seem to forget (or don't know) it's the world's second most populated country and they have some horrendous problems re. women and children rights.

The award was also a sign to the people and politicians of India and Pakistan they are facing similar problems and should reconsider their hostilities.

Unless I missed she is from Africa, the Far East or the Americas, I'm pretty sure she's presently living among the same Eurasian race that brought forth her would-be killers...

What does set her attackers apart is their warped interpretation of a wide spread Semitic monotheistic religion that got polluted by ancient Middle Eastern tribalism.

The fact you have to ask shows what lack of education has done to you.

Or download an Obama interview.

The well respected guru's of my ISP agree with the other guru's that frequent the relevant newsgroup the only way to establish your line speed is to up and download from the ISP's own servers, using anything else is unreliable as it involves multiple parties that are not part of the contract you have with your ISP.

In Europe there is a damn good reason for overstating efficiency, the tax on inefficient.

Like here in The Netherlands a very large number of people get a lease car via their employer and then a percentage of the car's price is added to their taxable income.
The percentage varies between 4-7 for electric and hybrid to 14-20 and even 25 for less efficient cars.
The efficiency is mainly measured as grams of CO2 per kilometre.

Offering a car in a lower percentage is hugely important for sales.

According to many the only thing that really matters is the CO2 output /distance

The UK might still post distances and speed limits in their now quaint miles but the moment you pull up for a refill it's done in litres.

So commerce goes where government it lagging.

Hahaha, you show your age :)

As with all large projects KDE has had it's problems but that's many years behind us, now they are the only viable full-featured DE.

Why?

With a Linux desktop you don't need to know more about computers than a typical Windows user yet have a safer environment.

You're behind the times, in the new Neon (KDE5) version the cashew has been replaced with a hamburger.
