Also there's now a thing called "GNU/NT", or as Microsoft calls it, "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows".

To add to this, Canada in 2008 went through a "parliamentary dispute" that Canada's Governor General played a large part in the resolution of. While the Governor General is pretty much chosen by Canadian ministers in a democr

When I first heard that multiple players can fight in the same gym battle instance, I got excited with the hope that there might be the conventional raid versus boss combat mechanics present - a main tank, positioning being important, taunt

Even WinForms is still around somehow, though in a "cannot be killed" legacy Form as opposed to WPF having a direct descendant in UWP. Silverlight, though...

Just do what Japan does and put into place super strict vehicle maintenance and emissions standards...that go into full effect when the car is six or so years old. Though in this case it wouldn't be a truly complete obsolescence, since

Indeed, I feel like a combination of the "amazing city sites" being already occupied by city-states as well as how terrain bonuses seemed weaker, especially production bonus terrain, made exploration in 5 less exciting.

He was also chosen to tour and report on post-Second World War Germany due to his experience from similar humanitarian missions he undertook in Europe in the aftermath of the First World War. Does anyone think that it's possible that t

A decade ago I was berating myself for my laziness and other personal factors that led me to going to a "backup" in-state tech school instead of the #3-in-nation that I tried for but could not get acceptance. Now, seeing that the

Indeed, I was a little surprised that AJA was both a thing at all and also a thing completely different from AJE. I first discovered AJE while living abroad in a place where the only english news channels were CNN, BBC and AJE, and my impre

World history class taught us that Suleiman's domestic policy was what made him legendary. Much later I learned that he almost took Vienna - essentially the high water mark of the Ottomans. Imagine what the world would have been like i

I think in one of the EU novels (Courtship of Princess Leia) Luke flies the Falcon while using both quadlasers, and if I recall correctly Han mentions that the controls in the cockpit allowed for such a thing but with a major accuracy penal

So how should one take a prank like this to the next level? Use abbreviations like Bs and Fu, or even outright spelling out dirty words by discovering and naming a bunch of elements with consecutive element numbers?

Interestingly, the assassination of Dollfuss caused Mussolini to almost go to war with Nazi Germany. One might wonder what would have happened if tensions remained such that Italy stayed out of the Axis and the war in Europe... "Hitler

Even with the asset stores, have UE or Unity reached the point of being a "one stop shop"? It still seems like an art tool like Blender or Maya is also a required link in the toolchain for anything but the smallest of projects.

I'm disappointed if only because the oral argument for a case like this may have been fascinating - what do the supreme court justices have to say about things computer science? It might turn out like the violent video game ban case fr

It's interesting how Russia's tank model numbering scheme seems to have looped around, as if the number were tied to the current year. It would be a little ironic if Russia's next MBT is designated "T-34". We'r

I like to think, humorously, that the name of the DVCS came about from the BitKeeper mess that ultimately led to the creation of git: * Andrew Tridgell is a git for reverse-engineering BitKeeper * Larry McVoy is a git for throwing a tantrum
