No, you just don't know as much as you think you do. Your example of English contradicts your own point. English is from the continent, spread to Britain, and then disappeared from the continent.
English pushed Brettonic out of its own backyard. English is not from England, it's from the continent (within the historical period). Similarly Spanish pushed out the Celtiberian languages (as well as probably a few non-Indo-European languages, of which Basque is the sole survivor). Languages push each other out all the time. There's nothing special about that.
I also think its a bit absurd to overliteralize it so that you infer from the word "see" that it was a visual phenomenon with photons and eyeballs with cones and rods connected to a brain.
Especially when you're reading a translation of a translation of a translation. Reading the bible in English is like playing telephone in high school--somewhere along the line someone replaced all the nouns with "cock."
Clearly they taught water-brained economics where you live, since the high cost of living decreases the supply of workers willing to work for a lower wage, thus driving up the equilibrium wage.
And once upon a time light was defined as a wave propagating through the lumiferous aether.
The dictionary is not evidence of ANYTHING (other than what the people who wrote the dictionary decided to write down). Dictionaries are descriptive. If the understanding of a concept has changed, and/or the term is used differently now then it is the dictionary that is wrong.
I know reading comprehension is hard (I teach high school), but he did say LIABILITY INSURANCE RATES. That means what you pay to cover the damage to the other person, and the bigger your car is the more damage you cause to the other person.
Hardly, seeing as you can dig down and build up. Sure, there's still a theoretical limit, but it's not a relevant one (we'll run out of food LONG before we run out of space).
If my phone is turned off and I can demonstrate it, they don't care if it's sitting in my hands and I'm playing with it, ineffectually pressing buttons and making wooshing sounds as I fly it around my immediate airspace. I say this from first-hand experience.
I want to know what the person sitting next to you was thinking during this...display.
e-reader with its strong construction that is made to not give is most likely going to cause the most amount of damage. and if it hits something and comes apart it there could be flying glass all over the place.
Photos of you with your trousers around your ankles out drunk on some random sat night might be hilarious to you on facebook now, but they aren't going to mean anything to your grandchildren. I think ultimately, a lot of this stuff needs to be forgotten....
On the contrary, those are EXACTLY the photos I wish I had. I loathe staged portraits. Some candids of my older relatives when they were young would be very interesting to me. The staged event portraits (weddings, graduations, etc.)? Couldn't give a fuck about those (I don't even care about MY staged portraits).

Shhh. These are not the hypocrites you are looking for.
And yet there is more ridicule. What gives?
There's nothing wrong with ridiculing those who start with their preferred answer and selectively ignore evidence to make it seem possible.

I'm moving to one of those countries then because I am sick and tired of all these dicks and assholes fucking each other.
Perp walk, most civilised countries BAN press coverage of a case until a fair trial has had a chance to run.
So most "civilised countries" have less freedom of speech, which was your parent's point.

. Once they have a single, evil empire set up, they won't have to worry much about public opinion or human rights.
You say that as if any of them are worrying about it right now.

I told you to stop lurking at my bedroom window. I'm going to have get the gimp out again...

So, you've never seen a Kindle then.
So, you didn't read your parent's post then?
even if it's a 100% non-transmitting device, like a GPS receiver
Was what he said before telling the story. I know, I know, this is /. and no one reads what they're responding to.
Or some of us even know about airplane mode and know that with the radio off there is no difference between my cell phone and your ipod.
Let them eat the rich!

I preffer to grab a large double-double head down to the store enjoy myself
How many bookstores let you walk in while chowing down on a double cheeseburger? Am I the only one who thinks this behavior is strange?
I've barely got 3 years of porn (queued up 1 after the other)
BARELY???
How much porn does one penis need?
OH YEAH!!! BURN!!! You sure showed that guy what's up.
Wagon station spelled backwards.
You do realize that it only takes a year of constant acceleration at a puny 1 G acceleration to reach the speed of light, right?
Welp, someone fails Relativity forever.
