They didn't reinvent the wheel for the Porsche 911, but they did custom design and engineer it. If you cannot custom design and engineer your own sorting algorithms you will never make a sports car, only a bodykit for a VW.
Indeed, I find cats and dogs rely on body language far more than verbal cues. Anyone who can 'voice command' a pet try giving your command silently, just say the command in your head and let your body react appropriately. Yep, you have a psychic pet who can literally read your thoughts!
common misconception. the numbers '48' and '49' aren't decimal, they in fact correspond to the numbers 00110000 and 00110001. you'd have to stick your HEAD up your NULL for naughty ones.
I assume from your reply that you've never actually tried to have your voice heard by a politician, nor understand that it's pretty much impossible for anyone without money to get heard.
We live in a fascist corporate oligarchy. It is quite possibly the worst form of government ever to have existed in the course of humanity. We have created an environment where the fellow members of our species are no more than objects to be exploited, squeezed dry and then ground down until they are discarded by the machine. Anglo Saxon ideals are Empire, Exploit and Eviscerate. We turned a blind eye when it was done to Africa, India, China, South America, Central America, the Middle East, Australia & South East Asia... there will be nobody to save us from the same wrath except ourselves.
Anglo-Saxon governance = Imperialistic slaveowners. Always has been, always will be until we stop it.
So humidity is the confirmed lubricant and cause of surface tension, or is it that solids also possess surface tension of their own? I'd like to think there is no difference in the forces involved, no difference between solids, gasses and liquids, just a difference in the scale required for these forces to manifest.
Sorry for the acerbic reply, most Dutch people I've met have better English than the natives by a mile. It's not just a beautiful country with legal pot but they also have laid back friendly policemen apart from the 99% English literacy rate. It's an ideal place to settle, but still it is tied in with the EU which I see as going downhill fast on the personal freedom front. Should have stuck with the guilder. Anyhow, sorry for leaving you out of my list, your country is not just wonderful scenery but wonderful people and everyone should enjoy Dutch hospitality at least once in their lives, and freedom lovers should move there in droves. They actually have some sort of mysterious control over their politicians and laws that most English speaking nations are sorely lacking.
In conclusion, I would recommend the Netherlands as one of the most awesome places for an English speaker to emigrate to, along with Ireland.
I'd say Hong Kong is your best best, and learning both Cantonese and Mandarin. China will be the powerhouse economy for the next 20 or so years at least.
Yeah, at 2cm a year they should worry oh about 2100. Even climate pessimists that know these areas will suffer first give 100 years as a timeline. Get a grip.
Sure, but they do generally speak English better than most countries. If you're really into repressive government control of your life you won't find a more accommodating place. Really it's very nice if you ignore the repression and just act as you're supposed to, like a good little pleb.
Hey, at least they're up front about it instead of acting that way anyway and pretending they don't.
The OP is better off staying in his home country where he has a political voice and learning how to use it.
Very true, but sometimes their home government has been so oppressive there is no option but to leave for greener pastures. I'm thinking specifically about an Australian I know who was banned from holding a drivers license by a committee that was later abolished, yet ten years after the committees abolition he still cannot drive in one of the most widespread communities on earth. His only chance of driving again is repatriation.
All governments become impregnable bureaucracies at some point, and that wall you hit can be life destroying for some whose only option is to flee the country to have a chance at a normal life. Sometimes staying at home is no longer an option. You really think mailing, petitioning or even just talking to your member of parliament has any effect? Professional politicians have no time for us normal folk unless we promote their agendas. Otherwise they couldn't give a flying fuck, and any sort of 'freedom' you try to express will be dealt with swiftly and severely by the state authorities.
Anglo Saxon countries are some of the most repressive in the world. Just look at their censorship regimes, their imprisonment rates, their laws that don't serve the people but the soulless corporate entities that decide where you can walk, what you can say and how you must think.
Yeah, but they speak Dutch for fucks sake. If I wanted to have a major speech impediment maybe I could speak the bastardised English/German mess of a language but no thanks.
It will pass, things will go back to normal once the unrest has settled and there will be another decade of relative calm. Still, there is a stronger individualistic respect than in most countries, and their privacy invasions will disappear when things settle down again. Once past this hiccup, Fiji will take a long, long time to get to the stage the UK, US or Australia is at in regards to repressing individual freedoms. It's still a great destination and a good bet for the freedom lover even with the current instability and uncertainty. The current status is only temporary, and appears then disappears every few years. It would still make a good destination for the freedom lover.
UK: Getting worse USA: Getting worse Canada: Not too bad, probably following the US downhill though Australia: Getting worse New Zealand: Not too bad, probably following Australia downhill though
Best bet is somewhere with English as an official (or unofficial but popular) second language.
Ireland: Not too bad, probably following UK/EU downhill though Fiji: Not too bad Samoa: Not too bad Tonga: Not too bad India: Not too bad Singapore: Getting worse Hong Kong: Getting worse
So I'd say New Zealand, Ireland or Canada for less culture shock, but be prepared to shift again in a few years, or somewhere in the South Pacific, just watch out for the coups that happen every few years.
Your cheque is waiting at the returns counter where you purchased the game. Also, the boxed game comes with the first month of gameplay free, so you could have played it for a little while at least. If you've never registered the game online you can ebay it. This class action lawsuit is a farce.
Scientists probe and question the very nature of the laws they have acquired, such as the laws of thermodynamics. Constantly testing them, pushing them to new limits, dreaming up anomolous cases in an effort to expand their knowledge. They take nothing for granted.
Scientists believe there are no literal truths, just hypotheses and observations. Your attitude towards these basic principles is no different to that of flat earth proponents. Just as language literacy is not set in stone, neither is scientific literacy. The boundaries are constantly pushed and redefined into something new. Thinking the past is set in stone and irrefutable is the antithesis of scientific endeavour.
I'm not saying free energy is possible, just that it is not 'junk' but an avenue worth exploring no matter what established doctrine says. Even just to prove Newton right we should study the phenomenon or more likely its absence.
How much time and effort is wasted by the engineers and scientists not talking in the same terms? Conversion errors can be disastrous, yet they can also be eliminated. The cost cannot be expressed in immediate terms, but amortized over the success of future projects. There is every reason to switch, and the reasons to stay are merely hubris and inertia.
Yeah, in Australia we've mostly converted. Still, people use feet and inches almost exclusively when talking about a persons height, we often measure in miles, acres and hectares as our cities tend to be laid out in those terms and we still call beers 'pints' though it means exactly 570ml, not approx. 568ml (the UK imperial pint).
All that said, we mostly use and speak in metric. Personally, there's no problem for me in thinking in either feet and inches or centimetres and metres when aproximating measurements, and conversion is fairly trivial. Weight is the big mystery, I have great trouble imagining ounces, pounds and stones without converting to grams and the conversion is a bitch.
It's acceptable in cinematic recreations of the era, I don't see why it should be unacceptable in a photo which recreates the era. It does border on bad taste, but it is nevertheless striking and adds a sense of dramaticism.
The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it. - Adolf Hitler
In defeating him we became like him. Our modern pre-emptive war mentality, 'hate' based thoughtcrime laws and panopticon surveillance police state ambitions would all make Hitler proud.

"somewhere in the South Pacific, just watch out for the coups that happen every few years."
Let's see, for English speakers we have:
UK: Getting worse

Canada: Not too bad, probably following the US downhill though
Australia: Getting worse
New Zealand: Not too bad, probably following Australia downhill though
Best bet is somewhere with English as an official (or unofficial but popular) second language.
