It’s not bakelite but injection moulded and I could have sworn it was Swedish. Definitely not British. There are nuanced differences.

The java applet was just a telnet client in Java, IIRC. The original was a telnet server.

They did their best to avoid civilian casualties by firing nearly a million Iraqi army men? What could possibly go wrong.

In Sweden we often use "England" for the UK. But I always feel a little guilty when doing it.

European gentry also ruled their local underlings, who had no access to the Kings Justice. There is precedent. Welcome to Amazon-land.

On the face of it, it sounds like you have a great bargaining chip here. For the extra hours you think are "too much", come up with an activity which involves you both, but you immensely enjoy. You might both grow!

Also put much longer in the form of the Tolkien books. Elves have non-bound lives but Men got the gift of a bounded lifespan by the creater. The Elves think that is a strange gift, but some come to realise just that, we have a chance to l

Sounds more like what China is doing, you need a pass to move to the city.

Scotland is basically Scandinavia light, what with your bairn fishing in the beck and so on.

I'm 100% in the "dislike" camp, right there with you. And the sun. And the never-ending rain and mud this time of year. (7-8 months.) Almost never snow. sigh

Native Swede here. I don't exactly hate it but I don't love it. The thing is though, you are basically Swedish now. You stay for exactly the same reason most of us natives stay. It's bad enough to loathe but good enough t

I identify a lot with you. But your paragraphs make it look like this is it. The world is not static. As the other commenter said, you can gently start working out. It's a thing, and it has intrinsic value. Also, you often can't s

Your comment made me idly wonder if there's a way to make an ISA which lends itself both to fast (even for low-gate implementations) hardware, and to fast JIT-ing.

This works if you didn't stay for a long time at your last job.

Exactly.

In the US there are plenty of "US vs $1000" cases already.

Yeah but that makes Wine sound simpler than it is. The bulk of what makes ReactOS tick is from Wine. Wine is a syscall layer plus a reimplementation of all user mode DLLs in a Windows installation.

Focusing on stability now, which is nice to see. It’s what’s been needed the most for a long time now. It already has enough features to build appliances on.

Hopefully more accountable though.

Yes, but what I meant was that the expression is likely even older than from the ones which went out of style 30 years ago.

Ackshully it's from the even older phones with separate earpiece and fixed microphone. You'd really hang up the earpiece on these old ones.

Yep. Especially a hacked VCR could be made to do this. If one taps the data from the spinning head directly, instead of relying on the VCR to process it into a proper composite signal, I'd say it's even realistic to do this. Just

Did anyone do High Frequency Trading with neutrinos yet?

I concur, it's the best solution for analog Video-8 tapes. Buy a Digital-8 camcorder with DV. You may get a better picture with some kind of bespoke high-end rig with rebuilt camcorders and studio digitizing equipment, but for mere mor

It can also be a great distraction to fiddle around with the supporting tools instead of the thing itself.

Won't there be a second run now, where Arce will probably win?

Why would it have to be massive? In space, radio dishes can be unfolded mylar.

Great life hack! I wonder if you will still get profiled ads when you are dead.
