Having checked various dictionaries, I'm certain it doesn't matter who, religion, ethnicity or race-wise, is on the dispensing or receiving end of a sacking, fall or conquer, they're pretty much the same. That said, sacking s

Sack, Fall, Conquer, they pretty much amount to the same thing. Maybe the article should have used the term "Sack", but then if you google around it's also known as the "Fall" or the "Siege".

Most of us aren't sommeliers though. In a blind test the best I could do would be to say "I like that one, don't like this other one etc". And I feel I know a reasonable bit about reds and have done plenty of tastings ov

I'm wondering if you're replying to a different GP comment than I did, which pretty much dismisses bagged wines: > There aren’t any bagged wines worth drinking.

Sadly I didn't keep any notes on the producers or grapes. I trust my pals not to bring back cheek puckering bags of vinegar :) Also these are 10 litre duty-free boxes which the equivalents would be eye wateringly expensive in the UK du

I hate to say that this is nonsense and a touch of wine snobbery, and I'm a "wine drinker". As daily drivers and post work glugs there are plenty of decent bagged wines (or rather boxes). I've had plenty from pals who&#x

Not really, not if the tooling is half decent. And for stuff like the Arduino it's fairly good, even for a beginner with a wee bit of programming knowledge. I used to be pretty fluent in 6502 back in the early 80's, it's a lo

It's not a niche, in the same way that the Arduino isn't a niche. Back in the day the BBC Micro B had a thing called the "User Port". It was a TTL level bunch of pins you could attach all sorts of experiments to, control

I kinda think you're missing the point of the Pi. It wasn't marketed as a low cost replacement for a computer, it was marketed as a low cost computer to learn and experiment with. In particular, having a raft of IO that you can ha

I'm well aware of that. My point is that these guys are armchair revolutionaries. Revolutions don't always need to be violent. They can be cerebral.

This is excellent news. My first encounter with Adam Curtis was The Mayfair Set back in 2000 or so, and I've been an avid follower of his work since then. There's something oddly satisfying about his films, and there's always

This will happen again for the devs sometime in the near future. The app developers should just pick a different name to create an easier life for themselves. The app name is problematic if you're a bit puritanical about naming or sayi

I got it because I'm probably ancient compared to many readers here. But if you're going to do quotes stick them in quotation marks, that's the normal thing to do, and it serves as a hint to the less well read (apropos Adams)
