One of Napoleon's cavalry generals said his average trooper's horsemanship was mediocre at best, yet they still made the tour of Europe. (Later, in the time of Napoleon III, the Prussians would outdo the French in utilizing medioc

I've heard that in "the south" they don't care how close you get when you don't get too rich, but in the north they don't care how rich you get when you don't get too close.

Back in the days when minicomputers (which required a walk to the air-conditioned machine room to reboot) and microcomputers (which had a case or keyboard switch) coexisted, the former were way less flaky than the latter.

Is it plainly false in your circles? In mine, only one acquired (economic) power; all the rest inherited, and they do tend more to the playboy stereotypes. (But this dichotomy may largely be due to the fact that only the former is a nerd?)

It sounds like you only need one person (not as deep pocketed as Andrew Carnegie but who has read "gospel of wealth" and agrees with it) to have support for decades if not perpetuity. Universities traditionally have done this sort

It looks like sloped noses are about a decade old and are sold as hi vis for work. Given the obvious advantages, something must have changed for them to be so new? Now that ag tractors have slope noses, might Chelsea tractors eventually cop

If more people went ahead with literal translations of their L1 idioms and style into English, we'd all have a richer lingua franca. In the mouth of the wolf, Antirez!

Too bad TFA started from rust instead of c; this behavior is all explained (in fewer words) in K&R.
