Most Scots and Cymry do not identify as British, and do not like it when you refer to them as British. I'm Scots, not British. Roughly 50% of us support independence from the UK.

No, proponents of the capital punishment attempt to create process that attempts to mitigate complaints made by abolishionists. Nice attempt at shifting the goalposts and shifting blame. And making a false equivalence with nuclear power. Ab

It would be great if Google stopped making nasty Urls with the nasty "Scroll To Text Fragment" feature. It is the biggest tech retrograde since MS started putting UUIDs in to their Urls. Which they largely stopped except for sha

The Windows Registry is a pretty good key-value store for centrally storing config. Because some, perhaps many, have abused the originally good idea, does not invalidate its positive aspects. Also, I do not agree it is a file system. It is

The Facebook app is a worse app than it was before it introduced "Stories" which is a terribly irritating feature. Also, auto play of video and sometimes audio also makes it a horrible experience. There is so much about Facebook t

No, Canadians do not see Crown Land as owned by the Canadian Monarchy, they see Crown Land and owned and controlled by the government as a public asset. Canadians see the Canadian Royal Family as nothing more than a figurehead of the state.
