No, you're quacking the same old "death of culture, kids these days" idiocy that is well known. I recommend to read up on the phenomenon.
"Oh woe is me, the world isn't the way I was told in 4th grade. Therefore my teacher wasn't wrong, my teacher wasn't an idiot, no, the whole COUNTRY is just dead, it died for not being what I once thought. WAAAAAAAAA"
It's pretty pathetic, man. You can't find your freedoms because you don't know what they are, so you can imagine they were taken away even while you're using them. Durrrrrrr
they went with the lie because they had a female member of the ruling family who had escaped to the US and was pushing convenient propaganda
And she read out a script, which is of course acting.
It was pretty stupid because the secret was going to get out and make people question the real stuff.
You're trying to save the story, but that is pure conjecture.
If you actually look into the details of it, there wasn't a script at all. She knew what propaganda to give, and gave it.
It doesn't make any sense why you want there to be a script involved, or "actors." History certainly doesn't require the revision in order to compile. When the principles tell the lies themselves, it would be silly to hire actors or use a script.
email is numerically "in decline" because much of what is on twitter on other proprietary apps would have been in email in the past.
One thing I've noticed is that an increasing number of companies are responding to email support requests in a serious manner, because the bean counters are finally figuring out how much cheaper email support is than phone support because it is asynchronous.
Maybe 5 years is the mean time from purchase to "shut down the old company's high profile PR gestures because it has been `long enough.'"
You look bad if you shut it down right away without giving people time. The longer you wait, the less news there is. After 5 years, it isn't part of the business news related to having bought the old company; only nerds will even hear about it.
They don't know, they're too busy laughing at people using the dominant form of notation on their planet to actually add up their side of the joke and make sure they're not just being unprofessional at work.
If you look at how few convictions they achieve, it is perfectly believable that the police have downsized their list to the level of criminals they can actually catch. It isn't like they break up known organized crime groups on a regular basis.
They have statistics that list very low crime rates, and yet poorer Euro countries are heavily dominated by organized crime and corruption.
Europe lists low murder rates, too bad they also list high missing persons rates. What is the crime rate in a country with a serious organized crime problem, serious enough to prevent foreign investment? Low! And the authorities make no attempt to correct the tabulation.
I don't have any trouble believing that European law enforcement intentionally phrased their "most wanted" list so that it was confusing and downplayed the crimes. They don't expect to succeed in catching many of them anyways, so how bad do they want them to look?
It is very common for Europeans, who pride themselves on being multilingual, use disagreeing locales for words as for numbers. It helps to make sure nobody can understand anything without referring to the original language document, and also it maintains the appearance of a translation.
Yeah, yeah, the country I grew up in had 5 cent phone booths and 25 cent newspapers. Waaaaaa, waaaaa, waaaaaa, get over it. This country was never perfect, and neither are other countries. Nor were things that made the country what it is the things that stood out to a particular person. People who make that mistake, who think it is all about them... for them the country dies every 15 years. It is not rational, and it isn't even America. We're still here. We'll still be here after you decide it was about you. There is no opinion you could form that would be sufficient to un-make us.
Generally, prototyping near your research facility is a lot more cost effective (and therefore produces more results) than traveling to distant regions with poor infrastructure and changeable political support.
They don't have to actively decide anything, just having it powered on it will send tower pings that vastly exceed Project Loon's ground radiation level.
There is a lot of idiocy on both sides, to be honest.
Cell phones were redesigned in the past because of legit concerns about the strength of the signal inside human cells when the antenna was placed too close. Small but real negative effects are well known, with heavy use high power and poor design, and not controversial other than to anti-foil pundits.
The problem with the FCC complaints is the lack of scale of suspected possible negative effects.

Only a few hundred comments in to find a reasoned analysis. Not bad.
I work for a very large global IT firm, and don't remember the last time that Exchange hiccuped.
but your BOFH does.

Chas might be more sophisticated than I am, but I've been happily using postfix since abandoning sendmail in `99.
And on the client side... SMTP and ( IMAP or POP )
The ONLY thing Exchange has going for it is that it's integrated into [legacy ERP software]
Even a broken BOFH is right twice a business cycle.
In exactly that case I'd actually consider a reinforced tinfoil hat.
Oh no, he's going full-strainer. Never go full strainer.

Clever, but no.
I'm not going to ask how you claim to know. I'm gonna pretend this happened in Vegas.
This is just a wild guess, but I think this up-dating thing is probably the new name for re-posting the same story?
Shake that second-breakfast out of your neckbeard and get to it, Timmy.
I find it entertaining to watch how uneducated, narrow-minded and chauvinist American are.
How humble, broad-minded and inclusive of you.
I'll just keep using ISO dates, like programmers have been doing for the whole millennium.

Wasn't Beavis from MTV Norwegian?
I wonder what the editors though the ",-" part meant in "12.523,- EUR"?
You make three obvious mistakes here. The incorrect pluralization of editors, the missing t on thought, and the idea that slashdot editors think.
Maybe they didn't have the ability to edit after they submitted, what then? Wait for Timmy to fix it?

Wait, isn't that the broken AI editor that taco installed in the 90s? If they're not going to publish the code, I say pull the plug.
There is only systemd, and when I choose it, I know exactly which one I'm choosing.
If only I could say the same for Gtk, or European numerical units.
They're just numbers representing money, stop letting money rule your life, who cares? What could it hurt?
Oh, wait.
