Finally they are getting rid of js stuff for core OS components. And also good that they made a clear choice in MS UI frameworks, there are far too many.

    You can actually find them in many European countries. They are often used for ecological reasons (maintaining vegetation in difficult to reach areas). They are independent and can withstand rain and cold.

    China is the biggest exporter in the world.

    Therefore, if you study in a well known US university and gather international experience, it will increase your career prospects. Also, they want to perfect their English. It's hard for them to speak proper English, just like it's hard for us to speak proper Chinese. It's best learned by being exposed to it every day.

    Indeed, that will be hard. However, it seems to be necessary to have a depression (and perhaps even a civil war?) to reduce the power of the Epstein class and change the mindset of the American people. As a non-American, I see Trump more as a symptom. The real problem seems to be the American political system in general, and the morality of the people.

    With this government, America has tried to be above everyone else and acquired power and wealth in a completely immoral way. Perhaps it can be understood that the rest of world doesn't care if the US burns down at this point, even if it brings economical losses. It's karma.

    The controls were actually not as basic as you would think. Web controls still miss many features these had by default, such as Alt-underlined focus keys, searching through lists and dropdowns by typing the first letters, arrow key navigation in menu controls and treeviews, predictable behavior of Esc, tooltips, context sensitive help, consistent tab focus order and so on.

    Their appearance is simple because of the graphical limitations of the time, but then again many modern UI frameworks are very much simplified too (they just use white instead of gray).

    A small magnet doesn't do any harm.
    Even in a modern phone there are devices that can be influenced by magnets. Such as the digital compass and autofocus/image stabilization. But the effect is likely not permanent.

    Beats euro bills. But euro bills aren't bad compared to most. They have color, artwork and growing sizes depending on their value.

    My favorite European bill is the Swiss one though.
