I don't. I know people like him. They even call me a Putin shill just because I disagree with their opinion even though I've already been on Slashdot when Putin was a small fish yet.
You seem to forget that it was a global agreement to eradicate it in first place. Not, Hollywood thinking, but real life. A soviet member of the WHO has suggested this, WHO accepted the suggestion and despite the cold war western countries and ussr worked together to make it happen. In fact, the soviets have donated a large part of the required vaccine. This kind of cooperation was unheard of before.
Bupropion would. It is an antidepressant and also used as a smoke cessation help. It is structurally related to amphetamine, but non-abusable, doesn't impair people and thus is not a controlled substance.
If you talk like a dick and behave like a dick then you probably are a dick. Hence my bewilderment. Seriously, if my employer insists on regular drug test, I'd give him the finger. Not because I'd fail a test - I wouldn't - just because of the blatant invasion of my privacy. And besides, all you make are petty excuses. Nobody is ever forced to be a psychopath, they just are. And yes, going by my system every psychopath is a dick. No exceptions.
I visit prostitutes every time I am in Prague. My fiancee died years ago in a motorbike accident and I didn't want to start a new relationship after that. And nevertheless it is none of your business, you self-righteous prick.
I personally have given up on Linux at home. It has been almost usable about a decade ago (ugly fonts notwithstanding), but then Windows got progressively better and Linux desktop environments seemed to go absolutely mental. I blame all those UX hipsters for destroying all the usability of KDE and Gnome.
At work I develop for Linux, but I actually cross-compile from Windows 7. It is just far more comfortable. The only reason why I boot into Linux every now and then is to cross-compile some quirky libraries that absolutely refuse to compile under Win32 CodeSourcery.
Really? I have learned Russian, Czech and French (but can't use the latter two that well anymore due to a lack of practice) and neither of them has a nonarbitrary grammatical gender.
Here is an example: the Czech word for a horse is kun' (not written correctly since I don't have a Czech keyboard), a very similar word is used for horse in most of other Slavic languages and it always has a masculine grammatical gender. Except for Russian, there a horse is called loshad', and that word has a feminine grammatical gender. What makes this example especially ridiculous is the fact that Russian has also the word kon', which has also a masculine grammatical gender, as in all other Slavic languages - but that word doesn't mean a horse in general, but specifically a stallion.
Another example: by Russian grammar rules the word for coffee should have a neutral grammatical gender. It is masculine, though, because coffee was introduced to Russia by Germans (der Kaffee). Silly, but true. Even sillier is the fact that the word is indeclensible, which is not very comfortable for both native speakers and people who speak Russian as a second language, because it breaks so many grammar rules.
Grammatical genders of most indo-european languages are difficult. But it is true that German is especially difficult in that matter because there are almost no general rules about grammatical genders and they have to be memorised for every single word. In many other languages the grammatical gender is already encoded in the word by the means of the gender specific ending.
Apparently, your teacher hasn't explained to you that all german nouns in the diminutive form - marked with the "chen" or "lein" suffix - are neuter. It is that simple.
Well, the soviets have helped to eradicate smallpox. In fact, it was their idea and they were a major supplier for the vaccine. So apparently it is not a bad suggestion after all.
You are misinformed. Total refusal here in Germany was punishable by prison time, even though it was often a suspended sentence or a considerable fine, as it was considered disobeying a lawful order/regulation, which is an offense in the military penal code, similar the to article 92 of your uniform code of military justice. Depending on the circumstances the desertion article also applied.
Not bad, but Germany is not that far behind The new Berlin airport was supposed to be built for 1 billion and opened in 2012. Now the projected total cost would be around 7 billions and nobody knows when the construction is supposed to be finished. Maybe in 2017, maybe never. In fact, it will probably be easier to tear the whole site down and to start again.
Nukes don't make sense in Germany. The land is settled very densely, the only domestic uranium sources were exhausted by the Soviets decades ago, there is still no permanent radioactive waste repository (Bavaria, the state with the most nuclear power plants, flatly refuses to deal with radioactive waste) and the temporary storage facilities are leaking, a fact that the operators have tried to hide. Nuclear power is also horribly expensive compared even to renewables. In fact, nuclear phase-out has been decided way before Merkel weaseled herself to power, precisely because nuclear power plant operators lost the trust of the German population due to negligence and frequent coverups of mishaps.
I used to live in the Ruhr area for about 15 years, so yes, I know. The subsidies are not only for securing a domestic fossil fuel source, but also for development of mining equipment that gets exported. I think coal will be only abandoned when the majority of electrical power generation will come from renewables, so maybe in 15-20 years, not earlier.
Yes, they replace older and less efficient coal power plants that are decommissioned. Germany won't exit coal power any time soon because it is the only domestic source and relying on imports is dangerous.
I am a guy, I have long hair and I use a hairdryer only for opening cellphones that are glued together. Yes, the hair takes a few hours to dry but the results are much better.

Or maybe your worldview is so skewed, you call everyone who disagrees with you a shill.

Android boomed because it could do what iPhone couldn't. Like copy&paste.
There are other possibilities: a suicide, thrust reverser suddenly opening, rudder torn off...
Android got worse over time. It has become a fugly walled garden. The last good android version was 2.3.7

Have you ever heard of the duck test?

Who in their sound mind would want to work for such a dick? And I say that as a teetotaler.

It is. Berlin might be an exception
Americans generally don't travel much and seldom bother to learn a foreign language.

That and bombing Iraq and Serbia.
