The article describes middle games as "'middle game' should only take 1 to 9 months to create and can be profitable (or at least not a money sink) because it is expected to earn in the range of $10,000 to $40,000." Am I

I don't know if it'd really be hard (you could list them, or have various limits on users or total revenue among all related companies). You could broadly include all subsidiaries, contractors working for Amazon, companies effecti

Some unarchivers (especially ones which aren't Unix natives, like say rar) seem to love to do it. They're just buggy, of course. Beyond that, before the mid-2000s, it was common to use non-UTF-8 locales on Linux. So I'm sure

A lot of email clients support multiple email accounts, or at least sending addresses. Not just desktop ones like Thunderbird, but web ones like Gmail too. You can additionally set up email to be forwarded (or retrieved). So, for example, y

I think airplane mode is intended to comply with the rules for using the device on an airplane. That used to be no radios whatsoever (and device turned off during takeoff and landing). The rules on aircraft changed, so the feature was updat

For high school, the youngest of which are 14, probably closer to 15? That really doesn't seem like a requirement. Well, except when they have to get out the door before 6:15am...

Unfortunately, high beams also risk blinding oncoming traffic, potentially causing a collision. In addition, I wonder if the blinking would be distracting, calling attention away from the problem (at least when the horn is being used as i

If you make the horns quiet enough for the nearby pedestrians, they'll be too quiet for other drivers to hear (since they're further away and the car is blocking a lot of the sound). And the driver might have the radio on, or even

A lot of these things do exist. Desktop/server Linux systems (used to at least) save some output from the PRNG to disk on shutdown and load it back on boot. But of course snapshots, cloning, etc. can foil that badly, causing the same s

The amounts are in US dollars, so any local hyperinflation won't matter. Your local currency will be worth far fewer dollars. I didn't see if it says how to convert, as there are often multiple exchange rates, e.g., an official on

The mail command has been around for a while, and was intended mainly for human use, not scripts. For example, just run mail alone with no arguments. It'll display the messages in your local mail box, and prompt you which ones to read,

For extra fun, there are (or at least were) multiple implementations of the mail command. The arguments were similar enough, but an old (and replaced) system at a previous employer required Heirloom mail/snail, not BSD because it actua

Dehumidifiers are ACs, just with the condenser indoors and exhausting heat back into the cooled air stream (so heating the room overall). A particular dehumidifier can (of course) be more or less efficient than a particular AC system. But i
