Where do I go to complain about people sticking "-gate" onto the end of every scandal?
Get the media to do some items on Gategate?

I had to look up this European Air Force. Turns out they've existed longer than I thought! From http://www.europeanaf.net/:
The European Air Force has now reached its teens!
OK, next assignment: find the Austrian Navy.
Yet, you need to learn the story of Alibaba and the 40 thieves.
Alibaba was a woodcutter and not a thief.
Before you get too high and mighty, you might want to remember that Ali Baba stole from those 40 thieves which is what eventually got his brother killed (because of his own greed) and almost got Ali Baba killed as well. So the OP calling Ali Baba a thief is 100% accurate.
So, a destroyer of Arabia's once-lush forests, and trafficker in innocent slave girls. (Also: muslim, which excuses all the previous.)
Why yes, the previous was supposed to be in jest, thanks for asking.
but in reality will actually just be recording your user name as password so the intruder can use this. They'll get the password, and come back at a time when they have more time to do their dirty work.
That's why I always first try to unlock with "password123" when I get back from the bathroom break I could no longer postpone.
My thought was, "what could possibly go wrong?" and then the idea formed, "the recieving maching broke half way through the process."
Luckily, the object is stored in the transporter buffer, and with a little sci-fi magic we can reconstruct the object and save the day minutes before the episode ends.
So what are we gonna do with all the Capt Kirk torsos lying around?
I thought Apple products were assembled in China? (By chinese spies masquerading as low-wage workers, etc. etc. etc.)
Also, Lenovo.
They could also wait a week to issue the fines
I don't see how this could work. They need to confirm the driver's identity to issue the fine which they're not going to be able to do without confronting the driver at the time of the ride. Just knowing the vehicle's registration isn't enough.
So don't you ask to see the Uber driver's license each time you catch a ride with one? Just asking. Not needed a taxi/uber ride in recent years, but it would seem sensible to identify the stranger you will be traveling with.
So playing poker is no longer gambling. Scientifically proven.
So statistics is no longer a scientific discipline? I still remember all the die rolls and the calculations using p = 1/6 we did when we started the stats course. Way back....
If by "furnaces" you mean oil/gas-burners to heat a home, South Africa obviously doesn't have that. Some closed wood stoves are available, imported from anywhere from Chile to China, that can be installed DIY or by a technician that does this sort of thing regularly (may have completed a course from the company that supplies the ovens). South Africa also doesn't have building codes that require air-tight doors and windows, so CO poisoning is perhaps less of a risk. Car mechanic's workshops can range from anything from dealer licensed (if it's still under warranty) to franchised chain to independent back-yard. Paperwork? Of course the buyer needs to ensure that they can do what they claim; reputation goes a long way regarding that.
But South Africa does have something called a Public Driver's Permit, needed when one wants to convey anyone for remuneration, be it a bunch of kids from the creche or your boss' wife to her nail appointment - if your employment includes chauffeur duties. Bumming a ride with a friend (social media acquaintance) and "helping with the petrol money" is probably tolerated as the money is (technically) a voluntary donation.
... if we don't have a system that rewards creators, art gets worse. Good artists choose to do something else with their time.
Now I see what has happened to American music....
What were they thinking, trading slightly more fragile bones for longer life spans, less dangerous lifestyles, philosophy, sanitation, modern medicine, equal rights, going to the moon, labor saving devices, the internet, quantum physics, cell phones, the internal combustion engine, and digital watches?
You forgot to mention laying the groundwork which would enable facebook. What were they thinking, indeed...
I sometimes work into the night ("flow"). Other times I read a while in bed on my (big-screen) phone. I use f.lux on the computer, Bluelight Filter on android - other apps have been mentioned.
The science seems to be fairly well understood for a number of years, long enough to develop these apps. See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... for pointers, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... may also be of interest (other effects than light on sleep).
If you build radio signal blocking into all of your pockets, doesn't that also screw up your cell phone from getting a call?
And the downside is?
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
