Absolutely, Dark Ages is the event local to Western Europe, although IMO the rise of church power had negative impact on the Byzantine Empire too. They've kept the culture and knowledge of Ancient Greece and Eastern Roman Empire, but c

Those were the dark ages because previously there was a highly developed civilization with its sophisticated culture, art, science, technology and liberties, and then the western world sunk into an era where almost all of it was temporarily

IMHO forcing visitors to be "polite" to a site is just as sneaky as using "I hate saving money". It's all meant to make a visitor feel guilty about clicking it. Just add a simple old close button and don't play

In many parts of Eastern Europe $20-30K USD a year is considered a fairly good salary... but then again there you can rent a place for 300 euros, and everything else also costs a lot less than in West, so that needs to be taken into the acc

It's hard to draw conclusions on that subject as many prosperous polygamous cultures in the past have been destroyed or assimilated simply because Christianity and other monogamist cultures were technologically superior and/or sim

From what I know about wood finishers/lacquerers, their requirements seem anything but prosaic, there's a whole science behind it - especially for those in business of refurbishing old/antique furniture.

Well, it's not like you're in any real danger for trying it, if your system becomes unstable you just take out that extra ram. It's exactly the same as overclocking, your box might not work as stable as before, but you get th

You can find that in pretty much any underdeveloped area in the world. Not sure what exactly is the socio-psychological explanation for that, but poor societies usually just don't have interest/time/energy to take care about

It's pretty much the same as if it was hardcoded, it drops all tables that have a name starting with the WP prefix. It's extremely ugly, but it's not unsafe (if your plan is removing all WP related tables from the DB).

I have no data on it, but I presume it depends on a language heavily. In languages like English where words are not that long it'd be very counter-intuitive that hyphenation could help with reading speed as we don't read individua
