Hitler loved dogs. And they loved him. Remember that next time someone says that dogs can tell which people are good and bad.

Maybe soon they'll build deep, underground "silos" that can house closed societies of 10,000 people each.

I have to agree on #7: it's pretty annoying, especially for series where there's both TV shows and movies related to them. For instance, The X-Files: there's 11 seasons of shows, but also 2 movies. A better example is Star

I'm a huge FOSS bigot, but even I can admit that FOSS frequently has bad UI design. FOSS is usually great for getting the fundamentals of the software right, making it reliable etc., but software experts usually are not very good at U

This isn't that important a feature most of the time, because you can just press the skip-ahead button and skip the next 30 seconds. You might see some of the intro, but big deal There is one big exception though: if you're watch

Throttle-by-wire, yes: any modern car has this. Steer-by-wire or brake-by-wire, no. If the power dies, you can still steer to the side of the road and apply the brakes.

The place is a desert. Growing crops in a desert takes a lot of water, as you might imagine. A smarter thing to do is to not try to grow crops in a desert where it needs so much irrigation. The US has plenty of non-desert land for growin

There are some homeless people living in camps in certain parks. Ueno Park has a bunch of them. Others have camps hidden away in flood-plain areas next to rivers. Some live on sidewalks, like under overpasses, and have a bunch of junk in

Everyone knows movies are staged, and they expect this. No one in their right mind wants to go to a theater and pay $20 for some crap that someone shot on their phone with no script. With the short videos, people expect them to be genu

As far as I understand, ZFS doesn't work at all with disks of differing sizes (in the same array). So if you try it, it just finds the size of the smallest disk, and uses that for all disks. So if you put an 8TB drive in an array wit

>The rolling stocks use linear induction propulsion, which means there is no electric motor on the train. This sentence makes no sense at all. A linear induction motor is a type of electric motor.

This entire comment section is simultaneously hilarious and sad to read, because it's obviously a bunch of myopic Americans who have never ventured outside of America and have no clue how other cities in the world work. Honestly I try

Maybe, maybe not. Human history has been drastically shaped by geography, causing humans to leave wherever they first evolved and travel across the world, becoming by far the dominant species. Perhaps with different geography, humans would

You can make your own cards with online services now. I've used Greetings Island many, many times to make custom cards. They have many perfectly good templates you can use for free. You can just print them out on a color laser printer

It would have been completely different: geography has been an enormous factor in human history and culture. Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" book makes the case that the main reason for Europe's historical succe

I assume by "powerdown", the OP means reducing energy usage, especially of polluting energy sources, mainly fossil fuels. This doesn't really require a lower population, it just means people need to stop expecting to live in

That would be really easy (though it probably wouldn't be perceptible by humans, but you'd certainly see it if you look at actual CPU and memory usage): just look at some simple webpage that's only static HTML. uBO uses reso
