I don't think the English and French living in one another's countries try to keep their ethnicity secret.

I hadn't known the reason for there being so few. I assumed it was because it was 'off the beaten track'.

LOL, though I recently had the same experience of when a doctor's secretary rather imperiously informed me that my test results would be faxed to my GP. Maybe fax is regarded as more secure than email?

Social Cohesiveness is not also known as xenophobia. Where foreigners tend to be so rare as to be exotic there tends not to be xenophobia. It's when the host community perceive themselves to be overrun that the xenophobia comes out.

In many ways Japan seems like a paradise. Crime free, almost, 70%+ forest coverage, technologically advanced but still respect for long-standing cultural traditions. It's unrivalled social cohesiveness comes at the cost though of a lac

Fair enough, I can appreciate that wanting to be able to continue older software a valid reason. Just to add that I've had good success running a vb6 application on WINE on Ubuntu.

I can see that this is an awesome achievement but why would people, not involved in the project, choose to use it instead of other operating systems such as windows itself?

What are the main concerns people have about using evernote, data protection, the company going out of business, the code being closed and proprietary? I can understand all those but sometimes it also feels like everyone (me included) expec

By nature I assume negative intent and over the course of my life it's probably cost me and possibly others, a lot. But then a small percentage of people think the best of everyone and end up paying for it with their lives.

How likely was one to stumble upon a non-white British soldier on the beach at Dunkirk?

The movie is a commercial enterprise not the agent of government policy, designed to direct public attitudes.

Thanks! I've always found it unnatural to design solutions in an oop way. And any time I have done it the code always seems a lot harder to debug afterwards. At the same time I kinda always felt that my preference for procedural code

I found this anti-oop video very persuasive. https://youtu.be/QM1iUe6IofM He also had a couple of follow up ones. Basically he blames java for oop's popularity. He maintains that oop's combining of methods and da

You're going off on a tangent then. You probably should have made that clear though.

What did they smell of? It was really unusual. Tesco, briefly, had an own brand hand soap liquid in the 1990s with exactly the same smell.

I can't contradict you, you clearly are better informed than me. It was in a documentary about the end of the war and its aftermath, in Germany. It did also mention the rapes by Russian soldiers and then it singled out the French areas

I think Goering's famous quote just about sums it up: "..the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of

Controversially and OT but it was in a documentary I saw recently. It's been suggested that the colonial troops were responsible for the the vast majority of the large numbers of rapes of women in the French occupied part of Germany

Supposedly the rot started after the disappearance of Etan Patz in 1979, the first missing kid to have his picture on milk cartons. That's when parents started becoming more restrictive of their children's freedom.

Really it's about recommendations, ask lots of people who they go to and why. I'd avoid a practice that's part of a chain like the plague, they are more likely to have a high turnover of dentists, who are under pressure to pr

How many dentists have you gone to? Regularly changing dentists is just a bad idea. Get a recommendation from someone you know who says they were nervous, chose a particular dentist and now would go to no one else and give that dentist a d

The members of the merchant navy were the most ill-treated group of service people in Britain during the war. These were the seamen who crewed the cargo ships transporting food, munitions and fuel across the Atlantic, and e.g. to Murmansk

From a quick glance at that map, the presence of a university skews results one way (N.C. to Boston), the presence of immigrants skews it the other (I'm assuming that's the explanation for the light blue along most of the Mexico b
