It appears I was mistaken and you do need a licence, though it's free. You should also ask the landowner's permission. I had thought you only needed the licence to set up traps, which I'd rather not myself as there's a r

In the UK the native crayfish are already severely threatened by invasive signal crayfish. I'm not sure if we have marble crayfish yet but if they breed that quickly it sounds very bad for the native crayfish - and maybe for the accide

The best I've found is Slow German: https://slowgerman.com The presenter speaks slowly (as the name suggests) and clearly, and there are over 100 episodes on a variety of topics, so there's probably something to suit y

Impressive how many of the buildings are still there and recognisable. Nice to see most of the 30+ year old apartment blocks still standing and well looked after. Must have been so weird to look out from a high-up apartment on one side of t

I had trouble reading the article because of adblocker-blockers - it was fun when I got there but if anyone else has trouble it's mostly a selection of highlights from this twitter thread and related hashtag #reviewforscience : https:

I paid for some map updates for my older model of TomTom a year or two ago - I considered using a free alternative but I was about to go on a road trip and wanted to be sure I had the right maps for my device plus thought paying might be so

When I was in Germany, I bought a bottle of Gorbatschow vodka to bring home. I thought the name was something to do with Mikhail Gorbachev, but it isn't - the brand has been produced in Berlin since 1921 after its founder Leo Gorbatsch

I use pushd and popd every day. If you forget what's in the stack you can see what's in it by using the "dirs" command. You can also use pushd -n (where n is a number, although I usually end up needing trial and error to

I enjoyed the article, thank you. Shame to see two pictures of Maurice Wilkes working on EDSAC (the big picture at the top and one further down of the mercury delay lines) and no mention of his name, though. https://www.theregist

It might have been sold for a high price, but vellum and coloured inks were expensive at the time, and it is a very long document when a much shorter one would still seem to fit the bill. Seems a bit of a gamble if that was the plan, and th

I do agree that the repeated glyphs and almost-repeated "words" are a big red flag against "can this actually mean anything?", and I'm not sure the idea of abbreviations really explains that. However, many medieval

Huh. I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. I don't know anything about the current maintainer or any of these disputes but I hope WOS keeps going; it's been going for over 20 years and amassed a lot of good stuff in

Good stuff, thanks! If you're looking for somewhere else to archive them, World of Spectrum might be interested. They have ZX80 and ZX81 books and software as well as Spectrum - and I don't see these listed. http://www.

I love lynx. I may be alone (or in a group of 7), however, judging by how often I get a 403 Forbidden error because a site is set up to reject anything with a user agent of lynx. Seems to be a default of many Wordpress setups. e.g. lynx sla

But with no verbs how would you do the gag from Monkey Island where the verbs change for the parrot?! http://monkeyisland.wikia.com/wiki/Murderous_Winged_Devil?fi... (I kid; the verbs are mostly superfluous, as "l

I find a lot to agree with here. It's all very conceptually neat and (if you're lucky) easy to read from the top down, where you enter one function and read off a list of other functions which are called in order. But then if you

So it is - you need to search the Macintosh section rather than the HyperCard section. Thanks! Two other Rand and Robyn Miller titles are there too: https://archive.org/details/TheManholeMacintosh https://ar

That's pretty cool! Well done. Now I'm wondering whether the game clock could be suspended unless ticks were sent via API, to turn it into a turn-based game to be played only via API calls...

Interesting, thanks. We have a small fridge in our small kitchen which will need replacing soon as the door has gone rusty underneath and the seal is beginning to go. It used to be a standard size of fridge but they're all wider and de

Yes, http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Keen_1_Levels says the "teddy bear maze" is the secret level and that the yellow door never existed. Not sure if a mistake or red herring; probably the former but in a mor

I spent so many hours playing the first game as a kid, decoding the alphabet (which I would later discover it tells you how to read in episode 2 or 3 anyway), trying to get every last item, etc. My favourite bit was the dark, fiery secret t

I also have a filled-in square which it says is incorrect with no indication of where/why it's incorrect, which is quite frustrating. Would it really be too easy if you could guess and then be told why it was inconsistent?

I agree that the nominative case endings and usual SVO order of English should prevent (nearly all) false positives. (The only one I can think of is that comparatives are meant to take the nominative case, e.g. pedantically it's suppos

I have a 4-year-old Samsung S3 Mini. I keep wi-fi, bluetooth, data, GPS turned off by default, make few calls, don't send or receive many texts, and if I don't use wi-fi or play games the battery will last several days - probably

It's true that adult ADHD (and non-hyperactive ADHD, and ADHD in women) is under-recognised in the UK. However, NICE (the National Institute for Clinical Excellence) has published guidelines about diagnosis and the short version iirc i
