Fun fact: People usually think that Britain and France has been most at war with one another, but Denmark and Sweden has actually been more at war (at least in terms of unique wars)[0]. Here is a non-exhaustive list: http://en.wi

The data is an impression collection, I make no doubt about that. The years attached to the video are just inaccurate. That seems like sloppy work after all the great work was done. Moreover, as pointed out in another post, this is from a

Indeed not. Immigration control and passports did not arise until the first world war, in fact. Border crossings were quite open until then. But culture was not insignificant. They did not define borders (and some might argue they still

As for Burgundy, it finally disappeared between France and Austria in 1493, when the Duke of Burgundy had died without an heir. Essentially, it should all have gone to France, but King Louis XI gave the non-French part to Austria to secure

Nations, indeed. The concept of nations basically arose with the French Revolution. But borders? Oh my yes did they exist in feudal Europe, they defined what realm a count, duke, king or emperor ruled over. But you are right they change

If Dorian Nakamoto is not Satoshi Nakamoto, why did he deny he was to AP? Did he suddenly discover that he could not handle being in the public light? You'd think the reason that the real Satoshi Nakamoto has kept himself hidden is ex

Perhaps. But I think they are keeping MySQL support both for legacy reasons and compatibility reasons. You could also argue they should stop implementing it in PHP, if they are willing to sacrifice its ease of install. But MediaWiki does

This is also the reason why MediaWiki have been using binary blobs for text data in their MySQL database. And have been for years.

I completely agree with the PS3's problems. But I am quite amazed by the fact that despite its higher price tag, its difficulty for programming, etc., the PS3 did rather well. And equally well compared to the Xbox 360. But Sony have

Wait. I thought the PS4 is $100 cheaper than the Xbox One. I mean the PS4 is cheaper here (Europe) and it is in the US. So I wonder why the PS4 is so much more expensive in Brazil then.

Yes, the Xbox 360 has been a success in the US (beating the PS3), but in every other market than the US, the PS3 has beaten the Xbox 360.[1] And the article in question is very US-centric on that regard. I am not saying the Xbox is nece

What is more interesting is the reaction from the developer himself. He seems to be completely unimpressed by the criticism. Noting that one permits Chrome extensions to do stuff, and they would have seen this permission the extension req

Woah. I should have noted, that the 'search zones' in Copenhagen were rather limited (usually to parts of Nørrebro). But they would often fall in busy areas.
