Who called the law "the right to be forgotten"? Nobody with an IQ of more than 0.5 expects to be able to erase people's memories. It's the right to stop any old Tom, Dick, or Harry broadcasting your personal data for ever and a day.
I consider only two add-ons to be essential. The first one deals with the winmail.dat bug in mails received from Outlook users, and the second deletes attachments as I have no reason to preserve the sometimes huge volumes inside an e-mail archive.
If the overhauled Thunderbird breaks these, it gets removed from my machine. But those aren't the only changes that might make me do that.
I agree that all conjugations are pointless but you're picking on the wrong guy. You cherry-picked the verb "to be". All other English verbs have at most 4 possible inflections (drink, drinking, drank, drunk). And "to be" still has only seven inflections compared with 10^100 in Spanish.
The Latin use of possessive pronouns provides less information than the Germanic use. Nobody in his right mind questions the gender of the daughter (or cares about the gender of a spoon), but they might be very interested in the gender of the person who says it. The only time gender is of any use is when two identical words have different meanings according to the gender ("le tour" and "la tour"), and those represent what? 0.05% of all nouns?
As a translator, I used to eliminate all but one exclamation mark if the author got carried away. Then I thought, Why should I save people from self-inflictedly looking-like-a-prick? So now I square the number of interrogation marks.
Indeed. The only reliable data we have is that the probability of intelligent life in the Universe is exactly 1. Now compare that with "the probability of intelligent life in the Universe is zero (uh... except for... y'know)." I know Occam's razor is only a rule of thumb, but I have far more confidence in it than in Fermi's paradox.
French governments believe there need to be laws framing every single aspect of human existence. It's just a Gallic tradition, like blocking roads and making boring TV shows.
You've only talked about vegetables there. They might not be a defined botanical category, but surely fruit is. And if I understand the law correctly, it distinguishes between fruit and vegetables. So how does it get to un-fruit a fruit?
Seems the whole world is getting more and more tolerant of sloppy expression. "One million times colder" is absolute semantic drivel. If it's logically valid, then what on earth does "one time(s) colder" mean? It's on the same level as "this beer tastes five times lousier". Anyone who uses it ought to be totally ashamed at their lack of expression skills and take up speaking Inuktitut or something.
It's not censorship; it's telling you they think your post sucks horse. Serious Slashdot readers always browse at -1 anyway. That's exactly how I'm able to reply to your post.
Dropbox - "(c) not to my knowledge" [x] GMail - "(b) yes, but not as my safe account" [x] Office 365 - "(d) No. Way." [x] Slack - "(e) uh, dunno. What is it?" [x]
I'm not using any parcel service ever again unless they deliver directly from the source to my house with no stops or transfers and have plastic bottles to piss in.
The answer to online competition is not to lower prices but to offer more added value than a website can. If they don't add any value, then bye bye, society doesn't need them.

Because the wires run all the way back to the the record factory. Riiiight.
Replying to myself: sorry five possible inflections with the 3rd person singular (drinks).

No, no, not an irony mark. Never.
Let people work it out for themselves and be embarrassingly wrong.

Would controlling just ammunition go against the second amendment?
A toughness of one is infinity times tougher than a toughness of nought and half as much not tough again as a toughness of two..

Why does it especially have to come from outside to be "captured" by Jupiter?

Here's a survey I did with a sample size of one:
Dropbox - "(c) not to my knowledge" [x]
GMail - "(b) yes, but not as my safe account" [x]
Office 365 - "(d) No. Way." [x]
Slack - "(e) uh, dunno. What is it?" [x]
"What if by 2025 Nikola Motors' fuel cell technology gets adopted by the industry?"
Then there will be more electric cars. I didn't see anything stipulating the source of the electricity.
If it is "over five-times cheaper than air freight", that means they pay you.*
Where do I sign up?
*One time cheaper is free.

I do the flat earth on-land version all the time in Transport Tycoon, and I don't cheat by ignoring small bodies of water!
If that reply was to me I think you're missing the point.
1 MPG is pretty poor, right?
So how good is 0 MPG?
