Do you know that the number of cab drivers in Paris hasn't changed since WWII? It's always been around 57000. So it's very hard to get a taxi in certain regions and at certain times. So the fucking cubbies should shut up.

Actually, no. Nazi party was _named_ "National Socialist", while its policies were pretty consistent with far-right wing. Basically, its name was only used for PR to drum up support.

Actually, most of energy to crack natural gas comes from (wait for it!)... natural gas! Enthalpy change in the 2*CH4 ---> C2H4 + 2*H2 is so small that it doesn't really matter, you lose more energy for pumping and heating the reactor.

Unlikely. L1 transfers can work just as well for companies in Europe or Asia. A couple of my friends immigrated in the US by creating a company in the US and a local subsidiary in Ukraine, then they simply transferred to the US after 1 year (and it's totally legal). So why Microsoft would need to move workers to Canada first if any other country is sufficient?

More likely Microsoft said something like: "Either we cut 1000 positions in Canada or you allow us to bring temps. Your choice."

Actually 'Peanut laws' mandate labeling on anything that might have been in contact with peanuts. So that's covered.

The whole society. In the case of a bad vaccine reaction you'd get a hefty compensation (up to $10 million) and assistance for life ( http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecom... ). Compensations are so huge because genuine bad reactions are _extremely_ rare.

No, because the potential risk for outweighs the potential reward.

Then your machine is broken beyond fixing. Which is kinda obvious since you're running an antivirus.

Antivirus? Are you fucking serious? Just turn it off and see what happens! I've never seen IDEA work slower than Eclipse, and I've been using both since 2003.

But you're probably be writing notes for the equations in cursive.

Typing is faster except if you're writing a mathematical text or anything that is NOT simple plain text. Even simple diagrams are complicated to do on a computer. And from a personal experience - if you write something down you remember it better than if you type it.

That's OK. Now the deaths are replaced with lots of more people getting debilitating brain damage which becomes apparent only after 15-20 years.

In the xUSSR countries not being able to write cursive is considered a sign of illiteracy. Is English cursive really so horrible? I never learned it formally and I use a bastardized version of cursive and block letters when I need to jot something down quickly. As a result, I can write significantly faster than most native English speakers when they use block letters.

Perhaps the cursive script itself should be revised? Also, cursive writing really helps to develop fine motor skills which are linked with higher cognitive functions. I don't know if there's a causal relationship between two of them, but I won't be surprised.

Ukraine is fighting a civil war. You don't fight terrorists by threatening civilians. It's as simple as that.

And the West is supporting a side in this civil war, a side that is ready to resort to dubious tactics of targeting civilian population.
