Translations would be nice, but to me, the key point is the last line.

Not only that, but a tiny bit of googling will show you that he is suspected of funneling these phones to Hezbollah. As they have been classified a terrorist organization by the USA, they're going to throw everything they can at him. The precedent set is unfortunate, but when someone is suspected of providing aid to a terrorist group, what do you expect the government to do? Issue a mild warning not to do it again?
Stories like this make me glad I have a fairly common name that is shared with multiple famous people, including a former NFL player, a dead rapper and a famous architect.
We have this crazy concept of certain jobs being exempt from overtime rules. As a general rule, most salaried positions are classified as exempt, most hourly positions are classified as non-exempt (both are considered full time positions with benefits, vacation, etc.).
Thus, if a salaried person works 60 hours a week, s/he still gets the same pay as when working 40 hours per week. IT is a classic example. Longer workdays, 24x7 oncall rotations, weekend work to implement significant changes

At the beginning, you picked a door. You had a 1% chance of being right. Even after the other 98 doors are opened, it does not change the fact that you STARTED OFF with a 1% chance of being right. The likelihood you were right has become 50/50, but your initial chance was still 1 in 100. The safe bet is to pick the one other unopened door.
There is a big difference between picking a door, then having 98 wrong doors opened and having 98 doors opened, then picking 1 of the remaining 2 doors.
With the Monty Hall show, you started off with a 1/3 chance. That's not terribly unlikely
Agreed
Don't you mean 8679305?
Uh, no.
The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
