Blocking google-analytics.com doesn't work ? Anyways, If you want to block all ads with ABP, just uncheck the very obvious checkbox in the settings, or use an alternative blocker like uBlock. If you are paranoid about the blocker sending data to their company, know that ABP is an opensource project, so is uBlock, you are free to analyse the code and build it yourself. But considering the controversy about ABP, I guess serveral people alredy did this.
By letting Greece sink, there is no way the Eurozone will get its money back. So they try to keep it afloat enough to make sure they stay at least a bit productive but not too much so they can't waste too much money.
What's the default on Android? That was an utterly useless piece of crap. I assumed it was Chrome since it's Google...
On modern Android, yes that's Chrome mobile. But before that it was just "android browser", Samsung also has its own browser so not all android phones use the same browser. Most of them are based on WebKit though.
The difference : try to find an Uber driver who accepts to drive 200 miles for $10. Uber is not at all like ridesharing. With ridesharing, several people who go to the same place share the same car. It is good as it decrease traffic congestion, pollution, etc... With Uber, it is the same as when you are driving by yourself regarding pollution and congestion, the difference is that you are not the driver, i.e. it is a taxi service. Price is telling too. With ridesharing service, the driver usually get barely enough to cover the car running costs but it is fine : driver get to drive basically for nearly free and passengers get a cheap ride. With Uber passengers pay for the driver's time, like a taxi. And now, why regulate Uber drivers more than ridesharing drivers ? A reason I can think of is that because of the finencial insensitive, Uber drivers will spend more time than normal on the road, increasing the risks. Rideshaing drivers would be better off not driving at all, they simply take passengers to lower the burden for the trips they would have done anyways.
If you want to compare with sex, I'm not against paid sex. However it is normal to have laws targeting prostitution because of the increased risks (STD,...), either by regulating it or banning it altoghether. (putting aside questions about morality and crimmnality).
Write a firefox/chrome/greasemonkey script to remove these buttons asap.
The last thing I need on a tiny screen with an almost useless browser is a link to buy things.

Any adblocker worth its salt removes sponsored links altogether. Unfortunately Chrome mobile doesn't support extensions so your best bet is probably Firefox mobile + uBlock. As for the Google search app (the most likely target), you probably can't do much about it besides, maybe, an xposed module (note : xposed framework requires a supported rooted device).
For some reason offshore workers are efficient only when you tell them exactly what to do. If there is only a small part left to interpretation they will do it wrong. Jobs where you are given only vague ideas and you have to fill the gaps yourself should be safer. I'm not saying that foreigners are worse than locals but those who aren't will not be the ones you'll get when you look for cheap labor.
Let's not think about the very moment the observable universe came to life. t=0 is a mathematical singularity and it messes things up. Instead we should go back in time and get closer and closer to t=0. If we consider the observable universe as a bubble inside the real, infinite universe, as we go back in time the bubble shrinks, like the rest of the universe. But shrinking something infinite doesn't make it less infinite, so in the end the observable universe will become smaller and smaller while the real universe will stay infinite. As we approach t=0, the observable universe will start to resemble a single point, but this point is still the entire observable universe, not a point inside it.
You are talking about the observable universe. The actual universe is either infinite or looping, by definition. As for the origin of the big bang, it is only a single point in the observable universe. In the actual universe, the big bang happened everywhere. When scientists talk about the universe, they usually mean the observable universe because as you said, there is no way to know what's beyond it.
I guess that it makes sense for a Canadian University to conduct experiments in Canada. The team suggested the Bahamas but for some reason, it was rejected.
So, Germans defend the right of people to tell the world when things go wrong in other countries. And yeah, building statues is clearly the right thing to do, especially after Snowden clearly said that he didn't want the world to focus on his person but rather on what he revealed. How about actually helping these people instead? They aren't dead yet you know. For me it is an empty political move.
Probably more than you might think. I did have ideas of burning stuff for trivial matters when I was a kid, many of my friends did and one of them acted it (thankfully, he was unsuccessful). A good thing that starting a fire is not that easy and that kids are not too dedicated...
Astronauts are expensive. They have highly valuable skills and training is costly. Even if you neglect the value of human life, it is still a huge loss. And you'd better make sure it doesn't happen again.
You won't believe how advanced these fields are. It's easy to dismiss modern game design as "just better graphics" until you learn why things are the way they are. You may not like some design choices, especially if such choices are driven more by profit than player enjoyment, but there is often a lot of things going behind it. So sure, there is room for improvement, same for graphics, but AI, GUI, plot and mechanics are mature fields, with a significant history.
FirefoxOS is basically a web browser with JS APIs to access the hardware.
All apps use web-based technologies, which means that the only thing needed for any OS to use FirefoxOS apps is a web browser that support these APIs, no need for native code unless you really need performance. You can already run some apps on Android as using Firefox components.
I really hope that the guys at Mozilla focus on the compatibility aspect by making it easy for developers to use the FirefoxOS framework on other platforms (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Desktop,...) rather than attempt to compete.
Assuming no mistake, I guess you are somehow intolerant to aspartame. The thing is : for almost every substance, someone will be found intolerant. And I'm not just talking about chemicals, after all, diabetics can't handle regular sugar normally. Except that intolerances like this may not show up during testing, only when the product is out in the market for millions of people to consume. And of course, a substance that make some people sick, even if it is one in a million, will get bad PR. As a result, companies will stop using it (a good thing for intolerant people) but they will also replace it with another substance that will probably make other people sick, and the cycle repeats again.
My opinion is that we should stop sweetening everything : no sugar, HFCS, aspartame, sucralose, stevia, etc... Learn to appreciate tastes more complex than the sweetness we are hardwired to love like an addictive drug. It won't completely solve the problem but it would be a great step forward. And we should promote variety too.

Google is persistent. They have been trying to build a social network for years, Google+ isn't their first attempt. They bought several companies like Orkut, there is also Google Wave and Buzz. And it is obvious they failed and keeping the service in its current form won't do it any good. Facebook is a different story, they didn't launch their service alongside myspace, waiting for it to overtake it. They grew slowly but steadily, from a glorified address book for Harvard students to what we have now.
Debian is all about choice, that's why it is opensource and you can fork it if you don't like their design choices. Many successful distros started as a fork of Debian, including Ubuntu, so I don't see why the same can't happen for sysv init lovers.
In fact poker has rules (antes, blinds) where the whole point is to make not playing a losing move. In a global thermonuclear war, it would be like making unused bombs self detonate in one's country after some time.

Yes, the software would become public domain in 5 years but the source can still be kept secret indefinitely. Not very amazing, especially so if the software is designed to stop functioning after 5 years.

What if I left my body at home?
I would probably mean that the "device" you swallowed is full of ketamine or something.
Considering that hangovers is probably the most researched subject in all universities, I believe that it is indeed the most important part.
