1) Some Americans are educated, and are fluent also in the Queen's English, and so do in fact differentiate. Although you are almost correct, in that there are very few such people who would also reject capitalization. Oh, wait, you're the one simply failed to quote it correctly! LOL
2) Americans often say "The States." It is used when on, or when discussing, vacations. "I'll reply to the emails when I get back in The States!" It places emphasis on their travel.

Why would your speech impediment affect your writing? Are you speaking into a microphone in Russian and having the people in the next room translate and transcribe it?
Or, the guy at FSB who normally writes their press releases had a day off, and the guy that was doing it that day didn't understand the engineering and made an "oops" claim.
LOL yeah, I'm surprised they even bothered to throw this out there to the neckbeards at this point. It doesn't seem to have much potential purpose other than lulz.
Most homes built until the 1980s had a box built into the porch next to the door, or a door built into the house next to the front door, that revealed a 2x2x2 area (sometimes larger) in which you could place things.
...
SERIOUSLY!
This is not actually true. "Seriously."
The outside world really exists; order some dark sunglasses and in a few days after they're delivered, go outside and check! You'll find almost all the houses were built before the 1980s, and they don't have these boxes.
Okay, maybe there's a worse failure mode possible... if the camera, upon losing connectivity, also spontaneously caught fire and burned your house down.
If that is actually worse or not might depend on if you keep your smoke detectors serviced, and have fire insurance...
I'll give you the spoiler; if you try it from a landline they can usually only connect you using a "collect call." They can't just connect regular calls anymore. YMMV, depends on the company.
You're wrong. Go check the license. Go look up what "open source" means.
Receiving rights from your contractors is something that everybody always gets. All closed source software written by contractors comes with an implicit license; furthermore, software that is Classified can be controlled by the government and they can share it with their other contractors. You can get a license fee, but you don't get to control who they give access to.
So yeah, if you don't know what the words mean, they might mean anything! But there are other people in the world who do know what the words mean. So no.
The firm tracked prices on 110 items over five weeks
So on a basket of 110 prices they found a 1% decrease, but somebody else checked a basket of 14.5k prices and found no decrease at all. This is exactly as expected; when they build a loss-leader strategy, they try to put the discounts on the items people notice the most, and increase the prices of things that people don't think about very much, but tend to buy at the same time that they buy the loss leader. So a basket of only 110 items will always be a basket of "notable" items, and it will always show the price manipulation the way the store wants it to be seen.
Or maybe food prices are simply higher in Austria, a small mountainous country with a lot of the arable rural land owned by rich foreigners who use it for vacationing?
You certainly can't just import cheap food from your neighbors, as they all have really high taxes and the regulations are designed to keep food prices high so that farmers make more money.
Is it really a "defeat" if it causes the community to re-hash all the reasons they hate the thing being advertised, and why it is a waste of money to shop there? It might be that Amazon would do better to pay slashdot not to post the ads!
A lot people don't even know what a "health food store" is, and so they don't realize that there are already multiple locally-owned stores that sell the same products cheaper than Whole Paycheck. It wasn't the people new to the products who called it "Whole Paycheck" it was the people who were already buying organic somewhere else who went in to try and were shocked at how gullible yuppies are.
It is a loyalty program for an unrelated service; just like they used to do with vending machines! If your delivery driver worked for a certain company, then you had to rent your vending machines from their Friends.
It seems totally reckless to me; they have a near monopoly over certain types of online sales, if they're using that monopoly to put anti-competitive pressure on another industry they could end up losing their (otherwise legal) monopoly! Mark my words, if Amazon doesn't cut and run from this nonsense they'll end up broken up like Ma Bell!
The claim of the quotation is that people are constantly scruntinizing open source code
Right, that's what you're not comprehending. You're getting the claim wrong, and people are trying to explain it to you, but you can't fucking understand because you don't know the meaning of words.
Yeah, if that was the claim it would be fucking stupid and wrong. But it isn't.
No, you don't even know what you mean when you say the word "household." WTF are you thinking? Do you have a picture in your head when you use the word? Think about the picture in your head; what is the source of CO2? Do you even know what is in your own fucking mind?
Hoverboard is to skateboard as sideways electric bike is to pedal bike. I see folding electric bikes selling for thousands of dollars, but never sideways ones. Upside down, sure, sidecar, sure, 15' tall, sure. Sideways? No.
The original that they're copying was self-balancing, like a segway! These knockoffs just have pedals that wiggle, with a transistor attached, so you can "balance" it yourself. It is like the difference between a wheelchair, and riding a bike with no hands! No problem for kids, or after you've learned it, but it doesn't really target the people most in need of improved personal transport.
Look, if you want to be popular because of your ride, you need to either lose 30 years or buy an airplane. And I don't mean a "light sport" deathtrap, those scare [whatever the opposite sex of piss is] away.

Everybody knows that not all of Russia is cold snowy tundra, and everybody knows that all of Russia is where they drink vodka.
Except Moscow, which is cold, but they mostly drink bourbon.

You don't comprehend liability.
If you did, you'd be saying, "Golly, I wonder if their liability insurance rates went up over this!"
Look, stop trying to invent new tech.

Try wikipedia, so that you're not accidentally just being propagandized by one of the various factions.
That's true in general; start from encyclopedia articles, not people with vested interests.
You'll find that "open source" is a very broad idea, and doesn't mean very much until you specify a license.
You're wrong. Go check the license. Go look up what "open source" means.

I also dial zero every time I want to place a call and have it manually routed.
I dare you to try it and see if it is really a thing.
You might have to dial 3 numbers from a phone that supports third-party billing and agree to pay $2.50.

Because they don't have a sense of what type of behavior will destroy their large investment in this property!
They think if we come to complain, we'll always keep coming.
I don't mind so much the idiot editors and lack of quality content, but the "fake news" certainly has a shelf life...

Right, shit people assert on their personal blogs is the same as nothing. I can't hear it, and I'm not interested in your newsletter.
raping your privacy.
I'm thinking you probably said "yes" to those terms of service.
