In Australia if you cant have someone present for the delivery, you'll have to pick it up from a Distribution Centre or Post Office.
Heh - in Belgium they'll pre-fill the "you weren't at home" notes and just put them in your mailbox instead of ringing doorbells etc. Of cause, then you get the post office (yay, bepost) and the driver "forgot" to empty his van full of undelivered packages....
What make it possibly for Germany to find Facebook in the first place?
Assuming you mean "fine", then if Facebook operates as a business in Germany, then the German state can most certainly take punitive measures against it.
It's an American country.
I feel safe in saying that Facebook is not a country.
What happen if Facebook simply says "fuck off"?
The same as if any other German company refuses to follow German law. Of cause, if they aren't in Germany as a legal entity, then Germany has options via the EU courts, or they can choose to simply block access to Facebook similar to how they already block access to other websites deemed to be illegal.
Now the EU are banning (?) negative speak about refugees from the parties.
There exists no such EU law, nor can it exist. Read the EU charter.
But how is that even the problem? The problem is that our traitor government let these people in in the first place. We don't want them here. That's the scenario. Why are they brought in? EU, Germany and Sweden are the enemies of the European peoples and democracy.
Enough people in Europe wants to help the refugees, even if you prefer people go die somewhere away from where you live.
Person A says something, judge rules it illegal according to the law Person B says the same thing, does a judge have to rule on it again, or will precedent suffice? Persons C through X says the same thing, or strongly related thing....
TopGear was (is?) sold for re-broadcast in more countries than just about any other TV show, ever. According to Wikipedia, "Top Gear was broadcast in 214 different countries by the end of 2014", which seems a bit high, but might be due to how regions were counted in contracts by the BBC and the publicist.
And don't claim you didn't vote for Trump. The American ppl did.
Actually, the American people voted for Hillary. 65,4 million to 62,8 million.
No, The American People voted to elect Trump, under a set of rules laid out by The American Government. If The American People wanted the rules to be different, they would have used their precious Democratic Powers to change how they elect their presidents.
It was in response to colleagues calling me out for not putting money into the collection-bin, shaming me for not subjecting to my employer's publicity stunt, and basically trying to apply peer-pressure... Yeah, no, if that's "a pretty shitty way" to react to other people pointing out that I didn't donate my own hard-earned money at the company's request, you and I have a very different view on what constitutes "shitty".
We used to have pretty OK xmas presents, a social event every year, fridge full of drinkables... life was good.
One year I was invited to a customer event (2-day sales-conference held by the company for its customer and potentials), and during the gala dinner the company announced it was giving to charity and so were everyone there : They held a charity collection event right at every table, where we were seated employees and customers together. Yup, their idea of social awareness was to use their employees' money to show customers how socially awesome they were. I said fuck it, and when colleagues and customers where shocked I wouldn't donate my own money in this manner, I made it clear I choose my own charities to support, and how....
Later on, started noticing how employee events went away, secretary had to beg management to have at least a tiny xmas present for everyone, the fridge shrunk, and quarter-by-quarter things just got worse, and the customer events larger and larger...
note: This company was, and AFAIK still is, the largest in its field, and doing quite well...
That seems very secondary to simply know that both are at MacD, at the same time, and they are friends - and likely could be derived from chats/google hangouts trivially.
My 7th-9th grade physics teacher had a radium-based glow-in-the-dark watch, and would tell a story about how HIS physics teacher at uni would steer clear of him. He had taken to store the watch in a metal box at the school, and used it for demonstrations of Geiger-counters:)
From a bit of googling, they'd use Radium-226, which is an alpha-emitter. Thinking a bit of crystal covering the dial, and a metal frame, and you're sorta safe, no?
The ECHR is not an EU construct, but separate from the EU, formerly EEC
ECHR: The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) (formally the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) is an international treaty to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms in Europe. Drafted in 1950 by the then newly formed Council of Europe, the convention entered into force on 3 September 1953. All Council of Europe member states are party to the Convention and new members are expected to ratify the convention at the earliest opportunity.
Council of Europe: The organisation is distinct from the 28-nation European Union (EU), although it is sometimes confused with it, partly because the EU has adopted the original European Flag which was created by the Council of Europe in 1955, as well as the European Anthem. No country has ever joined the EU without first belonging to the Council of Europe.
When the UK decided to BREXIT, they voted to break off from the EU - they will still be members of the Council of Europe, and subject the ECHR.
Since everyone (...) have HTC Vives, PSVRs, FOculus or Google Cardboard thingies these days, just create a slide-show file and send to them for watching at their own leisure?

Then move, and get new friends - simples
Thankfully, IRC doesn't have these kinds of problems.....
Replacing that many people will turn out to be problematic - even if you're just replacing the management.

If it was gifted to charity on behalf of the employees, why would the company get the tax write-off?

What does this add (from Google's perspective) that Latitude et al didn't already provide them?
You're right. We need to keep an eye on his Twitter account.
Trump has not held a press conference and answered any questions since July 27, so Twitter and 8chan are our best bet.
Don't worry, I already tweeted at him that he should switch to the more Presidential WEAs instead of twitter - that way, you wont miss his postings.
Are there any normal people on Slashdot or does this place have only extreme left and extreme right people bitching against each other?
It's an American website, as many here like to point out, so'eh ... no.
They simply gave up early on convincing Munich to switch to Windows Nein.
You can get "TV"s without speakers, but they don't call them TVs, and they charge a few times more for them.

Get an old glow-in-the-dark watch instead - the Radium on the dial is a nice alpha-emitter, for about 1600 years

Dialect doesn't mean different language, nor does it imply inability or difficulty in communicating.
Ever listen to a Scotsman? Even when they're speaking English, it's unintelligible and there's little communication happening.
Had the same experience in Mississippi
