I think what's necessary isn't the same level of proficiency that you'd get with a degree, but a basic understanding that ends up somewhere along the lines of the middle of the AP Comp Sci curriculum I went through about 7 years ago - a solid foundation if you would pursue it further.
When people think of "everyone needs to know how to code so we should teach it in school", I think they go way too far in their expectations of what the kids would be learning. It's so ubiquitous that everyone should have a nice foundation in it, the minimum required to understand what the people around you are doing, but not every kid should be shoulder deep in it.
You don't seem to understand that you can list on the NYSE even if you're not incorporated in the US - there's plenty of non-US companies listed on the NYSE. You also don't seem to understand that having a majority of shareholders in a country does not tie the company to that country - they're native to the country they're incorporated in, which in Nokia's case is Finland.
Adding to this, companies like ARM provide even more than that. They research and design new equipment. That's the most important part, IMO. If there's a company that does a lot of research, and patents a lot of things, ala Bell Labs, then licenses out those patents, the company isn't trolling.
It actually depends on what exactly the behavior of the program is, but in many cases you can use either a symlink, hard link or an NTFS junction to make it work.
There's one thing I'd like to mention about SSDs that you don't take into account. You can't use all of the space on an SSD either without performance degradation. I'm a SSD user myself, but it's just as true of SSDs as HDDs that you don't want to actually fill it past a certain point.
Totally true. Some drives have internal components designed to let them flush the cache out to the NAND before it dies. If you keep it on a UPS, then you're basically safe whether it has the extra circuitry/capacitors or not.
That's not even as far as it goes, since Blu is one of the most expensive options available. You can cut down lower than $1 a pack pretty easily, depending on all the variables like battery lifetime, cost of the juice, etc.
Unregulated, this is essentially the situation right now. I realize that ecigs don't exactly have massive market penetration right now, and that's likely to change, but you usually have only one brand available in any given shop. Almost always, that brand is Blu, which is terrible compared to many of the brands available online.
After playing link telephone, since the actual study is stupidly deep in a chain of 4 links, as far as I can tell it's a "study" conducted by a consumer research group in France called "60 Million Consumers" (translated). The entire text of the study is about 3 paragraphs long, and has approximately zero details (i.e. how much was in the samples, or what the deviation was) ascertainable through Google Translate.
That's why you should opt for the non-tobacco flavors. They can be quite tasty, especially from good, reputable brands - which is not the majority of the cheaply made yet similarly priced bullshit you find in convenience stores.
You're conflating the "denotes country of origin" sense of the word and the "denotes continent of origin" sense of the word. If I called someone from Europe "European", I'd be technically correct, but they might correct the label by saying they're "German".
Here's why people from the USA are commonly called "American". It's quite simple. What is the term for someone from the United States of America if not "American"? It sure as hell isn't United Statesian, or Statist, or Uniter, or some other nonsense.
There is a dual meaning for "American", but there is no label for country of origin when referencing someone from the USA. Beyond the fact that you don't normally call someone from China an Asian if you know they're Chinese (the by-far more common reference is by country, not by continent), the separation between continent term and country term just doesn't exist for this particular country.
Then there's the issue of North America and South America, which makes this whole derpathon by people not from the USA even more complicated. America isn't even a continent, so the term "American" in reference to people "from America" doesn't make sense on its own. It's like calling people Eurasian, as in they're origin is somewhere in a third of the world...
Honestly, I don't know how well Montana compares to something a bit more populated. Hell, within a 10 mile radius of where I live, there's more people than in the entire state.
You're missing the point. The problem doesn't require gaining or losing 20mph in X number of seconds. Rather, you are moving 5mph faster than the truck, which is doing 35mph, but need to move out of the passing lane sooner than anticipated to avoid a collision. You can either do this by accelerating and overtaking the 5 feet left for your safe exit in front of the truck, or by decelerating and moving back the ~50 feet to safety. You're already moving faster than the truck and will overtake it in 5 seconds, yet you only have 4 seconds to spare until the other car hits you. Which option you choose is much murkier when you actually consider it - you have ten times the distance to cover, and a much larger delta between current and required speed, in the deceleration case.

Redoing those elephant bites sounds like a shitty idea.
They've got the meaning of "spam" down pretty well.
Where was he leaking information that fell under any of those categories?
Oh yeah, because China doesn't silence critics.
It was probably chosen for data density per volume.

You can use Windows' version of symbolic links to make that work across multiple drives.

I've had much worse withdrawal symptoms from caffiene than nicotine, so YMMV.

The SCOTUS can't "shoot down" a law before it becomes law. If you think that they can, you have a terrible understanding of the way the court works.

Correction - English was never chosen. It just was, and will continue to be for the near future.
I actually use Mega on a regular basis, for the same things I used to use MU for.
