There's no way I can pull up statistics, I only have my own experience to rely on. I know a couple of men in their sixties who only go by -chan, except in formal situations. And one woman who hates her given name so much that she only

chan-suffixed isn't really age limited - I have friends (both genders) in their sixties where everybody use a -chan form for their names. It's more about familiarity. Think e.g. "おばちゃん“。

Not only in the UK. Norway too, and probably some other European countries. No more national wide FM stations in Norway (it's still possible to have a local FM station - for how long I don't know). There's some worthless tal

When I was living in Japan I always had to "romanize" my Japanese address if I got something shipped from USA because USPS only allows ASCII. Even if this did create problems locally - post always arrive quicker (in my experience)

There are lots and lots of movies which invested that and more and lost big time. Some of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_biggest_box-office_bom...

It's been nearly two days and apparently this hasn't happened yet - they're still there and haven't started withdrawing.

Dieting, as in restricting intake of calories, doesn't sound right. It's better to focus on in what form you eat those calories. Look at the Japanese, they don't go hungry and they don't get fat. They enjoy food. When

When you say "News" (just "News") I don't see what FB and Twitter has got to do with it. For "News" I think newspapers. So, over breakfast I check my country's equivalent of BBC first, sometimes the s

Anecdotal, but I've some experience in running both TCP- and UDP-based VPN over long-latency links (I worked from half around the globe for some years). With OpenVPN it's easy enough to test - configure for UDP, or configure for T

The seven day week and the connection to planets came from Babylon or Egypt, way back. And then via the Greek and so on. The Romans weren't actually the quickest to adopt it, they had an 8-day week (possibly from the Etruscans), which

Can't remember any such thing. Do you have a citation?

Ah. That sounds like a strange prepaid SIM. I haven't seen any of those. Assuming that's the same as a prepaid plan. For the latter ones you can go years without topping up, in my experience, but they suffer from the same as any o

That. Auto-correction is just about impossible for me. I write in two or three languages, and sometimes mix them. In addition to that, the suggestions, even in the correct language, are always 100% wrong. Auto-correction has always, withou

I'm not sure what you mean about a reassigned number? Do you mean that people risk getting a new number, whether they want it or not? Because that shouldn't be an issue - I believe all of Europe (at least EU) demands that the c

It's definitely in use in Europe, but it depends. I and my wife use SMS extensively, that's simply because we both use very cheap phone plans without a built-in data plan - i.e. no internet unless we have wi-fi (the pro side of th

I've counted up to 150 'legitimate interest' settings I've had to manually turn off one by one before I got to the end of the list. Obviously that's not something people are supposed to be able to actually do, even

The loser doesn't always pay for both. In some cases (well, many actually), or at least in cases where party A sues party B and loses, the court decides that it wasn't all clear-cut and party A was right to get a resolution thro

A bit unlikely as I got married quite late in life! (And I had zero intentions of getting involved with anyone up to then) (In any case - this was a comment to a discussion about crossing paths with one's SO/partner at other times

When I and my wife met for the first time we were both tourists, we both had never been to that country before (and none of us had ever been to a place the other had been), and we had exactly one day of overlap at this place and just happen

Yes, I remember that it became available after the movie.. and I tried it and found it completely useless in practice. I don't think a single programmer at our company liked it and it was soon forgotten. Did anyone here get some use o

The maybe most distinguishing feature of a "mainframe" is intelligent I/O channels, which offloads a lot of what would otherwise be CPU work. And those I/O channels is why the PDP-10 was called a "mainframe" wh

Wikipedia mentioned a guy who ate some 200 grams every day and got medical problems. A fifth of a kilogram every day is arguably a lot.

If it gets more expensive it may be the tipping point. Every month or so my wife asks "Are we using Netflix that much? Do we still need to pay this?" and I answer "Well, it's not that much really.." - so if it inc

But the statement is perfectly fine. It's not naive. It explains, correctly, why Kapisa stays cool in the summer: The accumulated snow from the winter stays throughout the summer, or most of the summer (that would be in mountains, most

Yes, but by 1990 Byte had already degenerated into useless "application" reviews and mostly uncool ads. Something that happened to nearly all the magazines after some years (including e.g. Personal Computer World). And when that

I don't want to go into that much politics, but if you look at it from high above there's a little more energy coming into the pool (by using that pricing method to squeeze more export out of Norway), and as a result the net total

Just be aware that the USB external drives are pre-coded for "PC" formats only, so you can't use those as a source for a generic floppy recover session. I.e. you can't expect to be able to ready anything from some other
