For sure they will not understand what you say. The more different from English, the better. For example, Arabic is a good option.
Oh, wait...

Well, the answers are "maybe (or maybe)", "no" and "I try to, but not too hard"
Although summers are quite hot here (around 32C/89.6F), I live on a hilltop where temperatures are somewhat cooler (26C/78.8F). I take no special measures other than putting it standing verticaly on one of its sides (rather than laying on its bottom side) to increase airflow around it. No air conditioners at home (never felt the need of them).
Just for the curious people out there, it's a Conceptronic.
No desert, no third world country (yet). But only ONE WiFi around: mine.
When I first installed my router, about four years ago, I was able to reach the signal from the garage. Now I'm still able to do it. I didn't measure numerically if the signal degraded along the years or not, but for practical purposes the answer is NO: I'm still able to connect from the garage, with the same two "dots" in the "intensity" display.
So, in my case, the signal did not degrade with time. Therefore, I think the neibourghs deployment theory makes sense: taking me as a "control subject" in the experiment, you can say: "The guy with no neighbours suffers no [significative] degradation in the signal intensity".
Obviously those satellites neglected to fly over my garden. Despite my continuous fight, kudzu, weed (not the smokable one) and other wild plants (and even trees) are invading it more and more.
Well, nuts are dry and hard, and (except coconuts) too small, so I think the sensation wouldn't be very pleasant. Orgasm could take hours to reach (if at all possible).
Nice argumentation, man! And it fits to ANY discussion about ANY topic! Did you elaborate it all yourself? Can I copy it? Please put it under CC license!
Anyone with mod points left can give a "+1, Correct" to this guy, please?
Roses are red
Apples are not blue
That's all the clue
I'm giving to you.
You can be never late for something that lasts forever and renovates every day.
Actually yes: once I gave her a [cheap] necklace with "{ }" as a decoration motive. It was geeky enough, so I liked it and so did she!
Of course, the more conventional peArl necklace has also been a gift from me to her.
Ten years ago, I was doing the Spanish version of an international project in a Incredibly Big Monster company which creates hardware and software. There was a module which was based in a large XML file with lots of nesting levels. In the morning of the deadline day for this module, I saw the Japanese tester desperately fighting to find a nesting error in her version. She told me she had been reviewing the file all night, and she couldn't find the problem. Well, my "help-ladies-in-distress" instinct kicked in, and I took her file, scratched a Perl script to keep track of nesting levels, tag pairings, etc, and run it through the file. One hour later, the problem was fixed.
That day she decided that she would not let me escape, and today I'm happily married to her.
So... PERL RULEZ!
(Anyone knows if there is a "+1, Romantic" in Slashdot?)
Well, we are using Twitter to broadcast our Castellers performances, and we know the local and specialised media follow us to get the latest achievements (or failures) as soon as they occur.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, better than explaining in a lot of words I recommend you this video from UNESCO channel in Youtube:

Each group has a "twitter manager" responsible to twit a castle as soon as we finish it, one way or the other (and, just in case someone asks: no, we don't twit them from up there: we need both hands and all the concentration for the castle!)
Of course! One thing is a good coffee, which is dark brown, creamy, aromatic and (to my taste) with a hint of sourness, and the other is a black, bitter coffee which usually hides the lack of real aroma with a strong bitterness and smell of "toasted" more than roasted.
So, finally UKers got decent coffee? That's good news!
But... do you agree that our Anonymous Coward above is an undercover agent? No geek would claim that "Caffeine is bad" or compare it with alcohol!
Okay, pal. Where did you come from? RIAA? MPAA? SGAE? Spit it!
You are obviously somebody from the Other Side in an undercover job, trying to bomb
In a related note, I drink 2-3 espressos a day, just because I like the strong taste of the carefully roasted beans. And I'm not addicted at all: when I travel to non-coffee countries like England or Japan (we continental Europeans don't call that crap "coffee" but rather "mopping water"), I have no side effects at all: I just live without coffee for two or more weeks.
The U.S. was in the "no coffee" list a few years ago, but looks like some areas are finally discovering REAL coffee (i.e. espresso).
Guys, guys... He did it intentionally as part of the IRONY! If he were really mistaking pi for e, he wouldn't be able to type the word "slashdot" in his browser to access this website.
His message here (not that I necessarily concur) is: "User 2.7182 is so stupid that he put this number as his username believing it was pi!"
"But what we need to know is, do people want nasally-insertable computers?"
