The same applied to an armoured knight, but it's hard to trap a mounted warrior when you're on foot, just as it would be hard to get a tank stuck unless you know what you're doing. I'm certain that more than one knight d

This is pretty much it. The Viking raids were, mostly, a way of obtaining loot and thralls, and it gave the peasantry an opportunity to attain an otherwise unattainable amount of wealth, and a way to Valhalla if things went wrong.

I'm certain there were some great fighters amongst the Vikings; after all, they have an entire age named after them and their raids. Viking was an activity, not a people though, and the Vikings were mostly Norse peasants trained to fig

I'm sure there are reasons. It's just that Facebook's reasons might not sound reasonable to everyone else, and it could be as simple as a login from an IP associated with fraudulent behaviour caused by someone else at the sam

Finnish strawberries are clearly superior! ;) Jokes aside, my personal experience is that strawberries grown in some grandmother's garden in a Nordic country, including Denmark, will beat the mass-produced stuff in the stores when it c

Very few and I'd say, without checking, that it's probably much more common to lose a finger or a toe. That's a better analogy in this case too; it's unlikely that a mishap caused by the absence of encryption or the pres

Specialty stores usually close around 6-7 PM, larger ones at 8 PM. Grocery stores are usually open to between 8-10 PM. If you move here you want to be up early. At least if you like seeing the sun once every 6 months.

While not a part of the geographic area called Scandinavia, Finland is very much a Nordic country. The healthcare system here is pretty comparable to the other Nordic countries, although there are some differences. The quality of care depen

Learning Finnish takes time, dedication, and willingness to do it on one's own f you want to master it. I belong to the Swedish-speaking minority here, and there's plenty of people in the Swedish-speaking areas that know little to

Definitely. I'd prefer a sunny day with -30C and no wind to a rainy and windy day with a temperature at 2C.

For the record, Helsinki is a coastal city in the southern end of the country. It's about 10C there at the moment.

For the record, inequality is on the rise in the Nordics too.

It's not about making things easy to use, but about making them harder to break. Creative tinkering is simply not taken into the consideration for most consumer products. Things like support load, RMA rate and consumer protection laws

Ditto with my in-laws and Linux Mint. Thing is, they don't really care about tinkering (just like most people) and so they don't care. Allowing them to tinker would benefit them very little, while it would definitely increase the

That sounds awesome. I wish there were places like that around here. :)

Don't worry. This is pretty much 80's retro-style monochrome icons that have been modernized. In 5-10 years, we'll be stuck with whatever the re-invention of 90's multi-media UI's (Kai's Power Goo etc) will res

That's pretty much what they did with the i740 back in the day, isn't it? It ain't stupid if it works.

It depends on what the dream is. Even you intend to become a hermit, you still need to pay taxes in most cases. That means you need to either sell your produce or make money through other means.

I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case: * Peace and quiet. It's quite evident whenever I visit a city, but it is, of course, a matter of getting used to it. * Safety. Out here I only need to worry about the casual pack of w

It depends on how you use it, but at least a couple of acres. Potatoes are quite efficient, and rabbits and chickens can pretty much live off left-overs and patches of land that are otherwise unused. That would be a rather boring existence,

This. The new Pi 400 even kinda look like one of the early 80's machines.

It's the official story, no matter how you put it. I'm not saying it's a good thing (in fact, I find it horrible), but it is what it is and I have no idea on how to turn that tide. There's a lot to be said about freedom

This is not a part of the war on general purpose computing; it's a part of the effort to make Eternal September to end by making software that works for everyone. As it is, this entails limiting the users' freedom to tinker in suc

I'd never even consider to assign feminine or masculine traits to any of those words. Is this an "English as a first language"-thing? Like you, I can see how some of those words could be more or less assertive, but I'd g

DMARC does a decent job of solving a few of those points. Alas, that only proves the point that another commenter made about server-to-server SMTP being a hack-job piled on top of another hack job. The one thing DKIM is good at is for prote

More like IFF than TIFF, though nowadays it's just "legacy" anyway.
