Meanwhile, HBO is contacting sites asking them to remove Game of Thrones torrents, and sending thousands of copyright infringement warnings to ISPs, urging them to remind pirates that they can stream HBO content legally after purchasing a subscription to HBO.
Erhm, I think ca 93% of the world cannot subscribe to HBO, due to HBO not making themselves available.
Yet Canadian officials quote immigration numbers, that clearly show that Americans leave "when so-and-so becomes president" to go live in Canada - what evidence did you see of the contrary?
I was moving a bit in the past - every time I moved into a new place, I replaced the bulbs with energy-efficient ones. Never replaced any of the energy efficient bulbs until I moved to my current place, where an underground metro line cause minute vibrations to shake the bulbs ever-so-slightly loose and get a bad connection momentarily (this also kill regular bulbs). Even then, only replaced 2 (and have 1 dead one, all cheap IKEA store-brand), while I have several others going fine for close to a decade. Past places I've lived between 3 months and 6 years. I've been using energy-saving bulbs since the late '90'ies.
TL;DR: If you buy crap bulbs, or put them in inappropriate positions, they'll die early on. If you get decent ones, and don't mistreat them, they'll happily keep functioning.
We used to spit out 1000+ vehicles per line per work-day. Just a few 50 cent savings on different components, across that volume, quickly becomes real money.
(I'm in Belgium) When governments and societies take foreigners and group them together geographically, you end up with small enclaves where there's ca no reason or need to learn the national language. I can show you places in here in Belgium, where Arabic will help you more than French or Flemish, there are sections in Frankfurt where you might as well speak Turkish, large area in northern Mexico where half the population only speaks german and sections of Spain where no-one speaks anything but UK English.
Yes, some people have no interest in integrating, but when there's no way to even use the national language, at lot of foreigners end up giving up trying to learn it.

Microsoft support is much better! They have an Indian guy in South Africa call you to tell you when something is wrong on your computer, then guide you through a fix using their downloadable tool, and if that fails, you can pay them to simply fix it for you!
That's actually awesome - Google doesn't have to provide the infrastructure for their fiber-upgrade-plan-things, just get clearance to install, and Cox does the work for them!
This news includes that people using Microsoft Live (lots of "PC" games do) can now play with non MS-Live players on other platforms - so, no "PC" (Windows) isn't/wasn't full cross-play.
Facebook doesn't enforce it's real name policy particularly well though, it's mostly only used to beat spam accounts and so forth over the head. A number of my friends on Facebook have never used anything other than blatantly false aliases (blatant because they couldn't possibly be people's real names, or are obviously the names of well fictional characters).
Meanwhile, dragqueens and other groups have systematically been forced to use their birthnames instead of adopted (Everyday) name on Facebook - They ARE enforcing it, quite aggresively, the moment someone flags an account as not following the real-name policy.
Google+ was working just fine for me, then they made a new UI that actively removed community features (e.g., good luck creating or seeing community events), and specifically wastes screen space (1600px wide, ca 800ppx is white borders on the sides of the 2 columns, not seen any way to get 3 columns like the old one), and now I'm wondering they are just trying to make things worse.
Considering the target is Facebook, and from what little I've used Facebook it seems to be a repository of shitty, crummy, hateful shitstains, he may in fact be just what Google "needs".
Most of the real nasties are collected in the bottom ash. Which is rich enough in Uranium is would be 'ore' if it wasn't so loaded with mercury etc. Loopholes in EPA regs specifically for bottom ash or coal would be non-viable today.
Bottom ash was used as a substitute for road salt when the conditions where right. Didn't melt snow, but provided traction and was free to small coal plant owning cities. Yet another case where having government run industry doesn't clean up the industry and further corrupts the government.
Clearly not enough uranium, if it doesn't melt the snow.
US corporations are allowed to solicit political contributions as long as donations aren't coerced. The relevant law bars any "threat of a detrimental job action, the threat of any other financial reprisal, or the threat of force" when asking for donations.
My former employer, as US company, had us attend an event with customers, where we would be sitting at tables 8 people mixed employees and customers, and there would be a collection going around for a charity. When I declined to contribute, things got pretty chilly at the table; people were in shock that I wasn't donating my private earnings towards a charity in order to make my employer look good.
Yeah, it wasn't political, and it wasn't direct threats, but I have never felt as shitty about a job as I did right there and then... it was also the moment I realized I loathed that particular employer.

Well, the autobahn has a speed limit of 130km/h, and I think most electrics can reach that ...
I can see 11 movies there, 5 of which are called "Leprechaun", and none that I've ever heard of.

I'd not trust a location that takes your card out of your sight.

so 200 sets of legal limits, and 200 links to national web sites ... I'm sure they are working on it!
So it's better than ca all other "beverages" called coffee?

There, he's mentioned.

Did wonders for my Macbook Pro!
I tried to google one of those quotes - the only result pointed back to your post here.
So, uhm, "citation needed" ?
From watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, it seems that it's pretty trivial to tear down houses :)
Of cause, I'm not sure I'd want to live in the things they put up afterwards, but that's just me.
Also, Poltava isn't in Russia, it is in Ukraine.
To be fair, he did say Nonorossia, which is Putin-speak for Ukraine.

At that price I can imagine there would be a ton of wives and girlfriends trying to put a stop to most football on TV.
Why? French wifes and girlfriends might like seeing 22 sweaty men run around on a field.
