Someone, please, set up a simple website where Chinese companies can input whatever language they want, and then helpful English-speakers can provide a comprehensible translation, mechanical-Turk style but for free. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours for the translation to iterate with some clever wiki to something almost perfect, and in no case would you end up with something worse than this.
 
Point being, the people who made this sign put effort into creating the English translation. If there were a website which was easier to use than what they’re using right now, wouldn’t we all win?

#capitalone have the worst ever client's policy and my be it is some kind of fraud? The miles was only promised and never actually send.
My advice - don't trust in everything #capitalone offer you!
Wondering how #capitalone can broadcast on TV every few minutes these stupid advertises and the same time refuse to send my earned points?
So angry - #capitalone refused to allow me to take the miles (points) I got for first three months. Awful #customerservice.

If you’re sitting out on the network, it’s very difficult to determine what is being said during a Skype conversation. So one way around that is to put some intrusion technology on the target’s computer. So basically you’re seeing all the keystrokes and hearing all the conversation before it becomes encrypted.

No recess from French as Montreal schools to scan playground chatter
The playgrounds, hallways and cafeterias of Quebec’s largest school board will soon be French-only zones as authorities move to silence other languages, even during recess.
In a bid to ensure its 110,000 students master French, the Commission scolaire de Montréal has announced a new code of conduct declaring French de rigueur at all times during the school day.
Diane De Courcy, the board’s chairwoman, said the approach will be persuasive not punitive.
“There will be no language police,” she said. Instead, monitors who overhear children using their mother tongue during recess will simply remind them of the rules.

New Look at Europa Points to Huge Under-Ice Lakes of Liquid Water
 
Europa, a moon orbiting Jupiter, has long been known to have plenty of water. It’s covered with a massive ocean of water, it just lies beneath 20 km of ice.
 
A new analysis of erupting volcanoes points to areas where water could pool as close as 3 km to the surface, making it even more likely to harbor some form of life!
 
So how would we get there? Stop what you are doing and let adventurer Bill Stone tell you about his plans to send robotic submarine probes to Europa to drill through the ice and collect life. Uh-maz-ing.
