Briton who actually can be arsed to learn the local languages here. As often as not, when locals learn where I'm from and break out into English, they are doing it to use me as practice, not because they feel sorry for me.
Le Pen's camp is not allowed to say anything more about the election until it's over and nor is the other camp. It's the law in France. No campaigning, no opinion polls are allowed in the last two days.
So let's say this works (yeah right) and we have a fully (re-)functioning human at the end of the job. With a cryogenically frozen memory. Sure. Is there the slightest chance of that memory being intact? If the person awakens with no memory of anything at all, as we all have done already once in our lives, can that really be considered to be the same person?
Is there something about Cheyenne that makes the whole population travel happy? Making a metro area of less than 100k people a major travel destination sounds a bit like bullshit to me.
Oh come on now. I'm sure the AC knows plenty of tech names you don't in different fields of technology. Just because we're on Slashdot doesn't mean we're all 24/7 gear magazine readers. Was it really too difficult to have a headline that read "Popular IT journalist Walt Mossberg is retiring", or was it supposed to be a test of geek eliteness?
I was thinking of launching an Uber type service for contract killing. Decentralized of course so it can't get banned. You enter the mark's address and upload a photo of them; I send someone out to kill them. I can't think what could possibly go wrong.
I feel like I was put on earth to spend hours in front of a screen looking for the item I want. I'd much rather spend the time outside fruitlessly searching. We need robots to do the Web searching.
Wow I wish the OP had also exhibited lousy reading skills and got modded +5. Now I'm going to explain to those who can be arsed to read the post properly why a sign announcing "Ten items or less" (notice the word order?) is not wrong.
"Ten items or less" is not a sentence, therefore you are being asked to infer meaning from it. From that point on, the "less" refers to whatever you then infer. You might well think, when you spot the sign, "Ten items or less? Thats OK, my basketful is less."
A non-sentence cannot be a grammatically incorrect sentence.
...and not trying to correct things like "10 items or less" when there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. (Clue: "ten or less items" is wrong; "ten items or less" isn't.)
Yes sure, we can rely on the best parliament in the world to outshine the combined competence of 27 countries, and Theresa May is exactly the person to lead the way.
Indeed. For instant communication I have this thing called a phone that doesn't require my permanent attention. Amazingly, I sometimes have to remind my clients of that. For doing business, using anything else but e-mail is to all intents and purposes impossible.
The yellow light is a grace period but the driver population is divided as to whether it means "you've got three seconds to stop before hitting red" of "you've got three seconds to accelerate before hitting red".

To be fair, it's not because he's right on this matter that he isn't a moron.

Yes he was English. That's why he didn't have to look far for the blueprints.
You used the wrong tense of the verb "to go".
They dislike anyone they didn't already like. It would have been no different with Fillon or Melenchon.

I don't think Macron needs to worry about losing and probably he doesn't either.

Of course it isn't; it's skull repurposing.
It doesn't get tired or drunk.
That's what the experts are working on next.
I read the summary and it still sounds like that.

Yep, I have a lousy connection too.
To someone annoyed by a drone, I'd hazard a guess that the total number of other drones in the world is irrelevant.
What? If the rent is lower than the asking, in what way does the tenant's paying 25% to the broker benefit the landlord?

The leave camp are not knuckle draggers. Not all of them.
Joining got a supermajority. Leaving got a barebones majority.
