It is a falsehood, having a zero on the scale implies that it is acheivable. However it is not, it would take inifinite energy to extract the last vestiges of heat in a very cold system.
No, it's not that big of a difference. *Especially* at that temperature. You are inferring things from the arbitrary units we have chosen to repressent temperature in. In fact, a linear temperature scale is sub-optimal because among other things it introduces the falsehood of an absolute zero. An exponential scale would avoid this. What you are really wanting to consider is the difference in heat (heat is energy but too often confused with temeperature).
To clarify the OP is a non-native speaker complaining about the comprehensibility of native speakers. He presumably learned the Queen's English or one of the increasingly common local butcherings of English (e.g; Engrish). Therefore your particular preference for a non-standard definition of accent is irrelevant.
That is hardly the same thing as it's in a different language altogether. I can say from personal experience that it's not as if your typical frenchman can distinguish between an American speaking French or an Englishman speaking French. Webster:
1b: speech habits typical of the natives or residents of a region
or of any other group
General American aka Standard Midwestern (I could have sworn it was calle dbroadcast English) is quite different from say a Southern accent. Of course, IMHO California English is accent neutral (not necessarily vocabulary neutral, but accent neutral). See also

Seen it too. I've sometimes managed to recover. I can't recall how though... it may have been by opening a page in a new window or something. I do know when it's come back all tabs work. Instead of C-n you can also try relaunching the executable while yuor current session is running (it seems to do a bit more work in cleaning/instantiating than C-n).
cancer research center on the understandable grounds that equating Pokémon with cancer was doing harm to the brand's image.
Giving a "cute" name to an arbitrary gene is not equating the two. Is the trend of cutesy names a good idea? Probably not? Might joe six-pack not be able to differentiate between the two; using context or realizing that the world is not, in fact, black and white? Possibly.
Indeed, you obviously didn't learn the right bindings, or figure out that you can remap them. C-g is a standard across many unix apps, and C-_ is a much easier way to spell undo.
Anything that brings Coke down a notch is a good thing in my book;-)
But as I've remarked elsewhere "line extensions" have been proliferating of late. Tropical Sprite Remix (Coca Cola), Holiday Spice Pepsi, Mountain Dew Midnight (PepsiCo), miscellaneous falvors of Fresca (Coca Cola)... even M&M Mars' renaming a Mars bar an Almond Snickers. I suspect their are several reasons: laziness/leveraging existing line strength (perhaps to resist the push of micro-markets?), creating corporation loyalty instead of brand loyalty. Krusty Brand potato chips anyone?
Oh I watched it (hence the misspelled French as a dig), and the ability to recognize it as a "dramatic reenacment". I want my 20 minutes back (it's 13 but the crap site setup ate additional time)
Seriously, what's the point? It's an oddly gesticulated recap of recent events. Think "dramatic renactment" from Unsolved Mysteries and you get the idea. Wahoo, or should I say Youpee (sic).
No, phen-fen was sanctioned by the FDA. The FDA and the producer are responsible. In any event your analogy is false as it would be holding Virgin and Tower responsible for the DRMed CDs.

Exactly. The first thing is what I said Re: heat. As for the second, yes... thermo would be even more unbearable with a non-linear temperature system.
:-P

Gorillas are apes like you and I; by definition they do not have tails.
Aks and teh are common usage too, should we accept them?

Fvck you Denis Krukovsky, and Fvck the editors for posting "articles" submitted by the authors of the linked content.
Probably because while it's (dis)comforting to see color it doesn't piss
enough people/anyone off enough to bother localizing it.
