Odd and interesting to read. I would have guessed a larger percentage of Russians got their views online.

I would also think that most online news written in Russian would be under control of state media. In which case, if they did start to use the Internet to find news then nothing would change.

Maybe a Russian nytimes.com?

>> This thoughtless behaviour reminds me of the thousands of websites which include a "(c) YYYY" copyright notice in their footers, despite this being completely irrelevant in modern copyright law.

I'll bite :-) Are you automatically covered then? - companies like Apple still do it .... 'Copyright © 2015 Apple Inc. All rights reserved.'

Your value to a company is not only what you can do now, but what you can do in the future - If you get acute back ache, burn out and RSI in both paws - you'll be taken out back, like old yeller, and shot.

You and your company, need you in the long term.

>> "When the data speeds in both directions — downloading and uploading — were the same, there was a lot of electrical interference that slowed data traffic to a crawl.

>> ... such meddlesome interference — known as electrical crosstalk — could be drastically reduced if the download speeds were far faster than the upload speeds."

Cool, so DSL is prevented from increasing the upstream traffic by the physics - not a matter of upgrading the 'boxes' at each end of the wire.

So the op has stopped drinking coffee and was clear of headaches which he thinks is due to Dandy Blend.

However, he is still getting a considerable fraction of the caffeine he got previously, but now from tea. If he is still taking the active drug, Caffeine, why would he expect any withdrawal?

Avoiding processed food should be what Cartman would call 'hippy nonsense'. Unfortunately, many food processors are interested in removing, expensive, nutritious food and replacing them with things that make us 'enjoy food', sugar, salt, and fats.

Unless processors can see the point in changing formula, for whatever reason, it's good, and simple, advice for those wanting to live healthily.
