@Shog9 this is the 2nd day of Chinese degree mill spam on english.stackexchange. While we all have slightly more flags than yesterday, could you possibly work your regex magic? Please?
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Some random reactions on the web:
> And, again, this isn’t unusual in this day and age. Whether you love it or hate it — actually, it’s more like you’re indifferent to it or hate it — many operating systems and services now function this way. What’s new here is Windows is jumping on board. Many of these features were already present in Windows 8 and 8.1, too.
> -- is it just me or is it crazy that we don't really know what other sources of information might currently be hoovered up in Windows 10. Unlike andriod/iOS we pay a licence fee to use windows 10 when we buy a new computer. In exchange I expect to have control over my data.
Normal Human is Math, a native speaker of Russian. Braiam is a native Spanish speaker who lives in the Caribbean somewhere I forget.
You can tell he's a native Spanish speaker because of his placement of "here" in "<insert here relevant xkcd about git commit msgs>". I feel like it has to go right after the verb there in Spanish, not way down at the end as we would do it English. I may just be tired.
@tchrist Hmm my guess would be that it is "more possible" to put here there in the Romance languages than in English. But, in this case, it might just be that he started with insert here then patched on the subject afterwards.
About the 'you' map, it's all about you, how different you are from all the rest. And it seems like you're different from everybody, just a little more than the south
@Mitch but that's my question. If I'm using something nobody uses, how am I slightly differently different from some people but not others?
I am exactly equally different from everyone!
As soon as there are more than one shade, one of them must be deep red and another deep blue.
Okay what the heck. Where's the option "rubbernecking is the activity (slowing down and gawking) that causes the traffic jam, and I do have a word for the traffic jam itself, and it's traffic jam"?
How can anyone possibly check "I have no word for [word]"? That makes no sense.
@RegDwigнt Same. I'd say they have fallen well short of the mark in describing the possible uses of both words. For one thing, there should be a choice that suggests dinner is sometimes used for lunch and supper for dinner, or something like that.
@Mitch Not sure which "original site" this quiz is based on, but if it's the same that we all did here a couple years ago, that one had like 153 questions, and yes, coke vs soda was one of them.
And you could select for yourself which questions you wanted to answer.
Can someone please explain this joke to me http://bash.org/?5300 ? I don't get it, probably because of low english skills.

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know my device location, data from my calendar, the apps I use, data from my emails and text messages, who I call, my contacts and how often I interact with them on my device will be gathered by Cortana who also learns about me by collecting data about how I use my device and other Microsoft services, such as my music, alarm settings, whether the lock screen is on, what I view and purchase, my browse and Bing search history, and more.
And not hating it costs me my device location, data from my calendar, the apps I use, data from my emails and text messages, who I call, and my contacts.
Well, yes it is. He just spews whatever comes into his head.
And he's leading the G.O.P. pack! By a significant margin.
One thing in his favor: he called the other candidates puppets for going out to be interviewed for the presidency by the Koch brothers. And he's certainly right about that.
@RegDwigнt Believe me, people are up in arms about that. But the Supreme Court so decreed, and so it stands. Actually, the five conservative stooges on the SC decreed that. And so it stands.
This just in: The WSJ article has finally loaded now.
And this is what I'm getting.
Thank you wall fucking street journal.
It's one thing that I'm not paying in general. But it's a different thing entirely that I will never pay for a service so shitty it takes minutes to load literally one and a half lines.
You want my money, you better show me just how fast you want it.
@asef: I think an "Exactly!!!" with three exclamation points rather merits a check mark, don't you? Click the arrow and reward mike32 for helping you out. — Robusto9 secs ago
Or, as Mari-Lou calls it, "another drive-by poster." Maybe not in those exact words.
