From my experience with French and Russian image websites, they have no problem accepting DMCA complaints in English and replying back in English for emails. Submitting complaints in English won't be a problem. However, they might expect a faster response as they got back to me within 45 minutes to 48 hours..
I haven't had a Windows machine in a while but when I did (Win 95) CCleaner was a must because uninstall programs were sloppy and and most Windows programmers abused the registry.
Windows 9X was a cobbled together mess until Windows 98SE came out. WinXP was better but still required third-party utilities to fix registry issues. With Windows Vista onward, I no longer needed those programs at home. There are two utilities that I do use at work since remote installs or upgrades occasionally go FUBAR on Windows 7.
...and an Android phone is? (Hint: designed by Google in California)
A Google image search for "designed by Apple in California" brings up images of Apple products in design books. A Google image search for "designed by Google in California" brings up various images for Google campuses. When I think of cellphones, I'm not going to think of a Google campus design.
Was that a contract with a specified duration, or an at-will employment agreement?
It was an open-ended contract.
If it was a contract, then I'm surprised that California wouldn't allow agreed-upon penalties for terminating the contract early.
In 20+ years of IT support contracting, I've never seen penalties imposed for terminating the contract early.
If it was for at-will employment, then yeah, imposing a penalty for not giving two weeks notice would be unenforceable, since that directly contradicts the definition of at-will.
A coworker who worked for a different sub-contractor has a provision in his contract to earn an extra month of pay bonus if he gave a four-week notice.
That is interesting, I was deploying Cisco Callmanger + Unity + WLC and Cisco wireless phones (wifi) in like 2003 and you could do that.
IIRC, The main selling point for that product line was to have an integrated wireless controller inside a switch that could be activated with a software license key.
This wasn't my first $50K per year job. However, the extra month of pay that I got as a Christmas bonus last year pushed my income up to $55K per year.
Streaming the same thing by yourself on 30 different laptops at the same time, that is quite an achievement.
I wanted to create cardboard cutouts that look like console TV sets and taped over the laptop screens. My boss vetoed the idea because he wanted a professional lab look instead of a department store look.
I signed an employment contract with an East Coast sub-contractor that was drawn up by a New York City attorney who had no clue about CA labor laws. In particular, a $500 per day fine if I don't give a proper two-week notice ($5,000 max) that wasn't kosher in CA. When a push came to a shove, I told the sub-contractor to run the contract by a CA labor attorney. The contracting agency that hired the sub-contractor bought out my contract to avoid legal hassles. I then got a proper employment contract and a higher pay rate for my troubles.

The EU is emulating the US court system by making decisions for citizens outside of their borders.
If you had done that in the first place, you would have avoided this whole sideshow.
As I explained to Slashdot management a while back, there's nothing I can do to prevent the "whole sideshow" that comes with my douchebag fan base.
By 47, your habits are fixed and inflexible, and you'll always be a douchebag.
I guess you didn't see the latest batch of dick pics that an upstanding member of this community posted this morning.

[...] why don't you add a comment that actually ties into the discussion at hand [...]
You must have missed this comment in your eagerness to insult me.

Shouldn't you have started with, "Dear Diary?"
I'm not a 14-year-old wanker.
No offense, but I don't really care when where and how you used a particular program unless it brings something useful to the discussion.
The fact that Microsoft came out with an operating system that doesn't require third-party utilities to maintain isn't relevant to this discussion?
I had not idea that AMD was behind the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP).
who give a fuck what you think?
The people who clicked on my new signature link.
Did you want an award or recognition for your accomplishment?
I'll take mod points. ;)

If a program refuses to uninstall, use the Microsoft Fix-It utility.

For Adobe Reader or Acrobat, use the Cleaner Tool.

I haven't used CCleaner since Windows Vista got released ten years ago.

This is basic marketing. If you charge a higher price point, you get better quality customers who are willing to pay more.
Designed by Apple in California.
Ford built there because of cheap labour. Right next door is Canada, where they work for a small fraction of what an American worker would fetch.
The same Henry Ford who doubled the minimum wage he paid his workers and reduced the work hours from nine to eight?

That I can walk faster than a walking T-Rex. Outrunning a running T-Rex might be more problematic.
The same reason Henry Ford built cars in Michigan: cheap land.
We think it's an artificial stupidity program that got loose.

We are mostly 40 and up, make 3-4x your salary, have families and big houses.
And love big Russian dicks.
Man you are lucky it wasn't kitten videos or worse.
We had this in the loop instead.
