In the UK I believe ours is six weeks in the summer, two weeks Christmas, two weeks Easter, then one week in the middle of each term (three per year). I'd have to actually check though, been a while.

China is (officially) growing at ~7% per year right now, so adding $700 billion to their debt pile barely changes the debt/GDP ratio, it might even still fall but I'd have to check the exact figures.

He had given up on India after his army revolted, they were going to return to Greece and he had plans written up to conquer the West/North Africa after that.

In regards to your conclusion, I'm not sure this is really entirely true. While Japan is a disaster right now, their situation (by my understanding) was made massively worse through bad economic choices when their economy first started

It's to do with employment rates and avoiding financial damage to small/low margin businesses, there's a commission of some kind that tries to work out the maximum viable level.

This happens to mine if I have an update pending, worth checking if it's an intermittent issue.

I still use mine, I'm not a big user of apps generally so I can just about squeak by, the tiled UI is still far and away the best available for phones. I hope the Windows everywhere initiative eventually works out, they got a lot of th

This isn't really accurate, they shut the line down for a week or so a while back and from indications since then (VIN registrations and deliveries) it seems like they're probably producing around 2,000 a week now. The trend line

One of the things that slowed it down a lot was the continual development of the Falcon 9. With the Block 3/4/5 series of the Falcon 9 (5 is the final design and mostly focused on reusability upgrades, 4 is interim) they have a re

Back when I was a kid I used to stare at the sun fairly often, you look at it long enough and you get this sort of shimmering blueness over the bright area and it's no real issue to keep looking at it. Used to do that during long car t

I don't think this is a particularly valid viewpoint. For one thing it would destroy half the countries in the world, and most of them aren't highly developed nations that can vaguely cope with it. For another, how do you set limi

In the minds of the Spanish people of Catalonia the referendum was completely illegitimate, why would they vote in it?

You are missing out on a lot if you choose to ignore Dan Carlin.

He's surely been spending many billions of dollars in that time period though, we can't know how much but I think it would be more than enough to be significant.

Paint 3D shipped already and is the replacement version, it can also save pictures without a background.

It's being replaced, they're removing the program, not the functionality.

Mouse, headset, keyboard, gamepad, bluetooth receiver, USB sticks, and yes a phone charger. I have no intention of replacing any of these things until they break, that could be a long, long time.

It's much more true today to be fair, and with DX12/Vulkan it should become much more common over the next few years. Ryzen is much better positioned anyway because it has almost comparable IPC (Broadwell levels), that means even

This review has a CPU web test section, you can see performance is mostly a function of IPC and clock speed.

The Zen based APU platform is going to cause real problems for Intel in the laptop/ultrabook market, Ryzen's power consumption looks very low and their iGPU technology is years ahead of Intel's.

I've been toying with the idea of a site for original written works, in the same vein as current fanfiction sites or Deviantart. I imagine it would end up working along the shareware model, x chapters here for free and purchase access

Net migration, if you discount returning British citizens it currently sits at around 200,000 a year (500,000 gross), so it would be an approximate 20% reduction in non-British immigration. Or a 30% increase in emigration, but I doubt they&

This case is completely unrelated to the rights of EU citizens to live and work in the UK.

by MLR 10y ago
Irish citizens in the UK hold a more favourable status than EU citizens as is, the likelyhood of this changing is practically nil.

I always find it odd how the Cambridge educated prime ministers seemingly dried up, one would really expect it to be closer to a 50/50 split as it had been in the past.

Their semi-custom segment basically stabilised the company and saved them from bankruptcy, their new graphics cards have been good, and from what we know about Zen it's going to be a winner for them (somewhere around Broadwell levels c
