Pluto and Charon orbit around a non-fixed barycenter that is actually outside of both Pluto and Charon. Pluto/Charon is really a binary Dwarf Planet with 3 moons. Which, honestly, is fucking awesome.
the TRS connectors we use for our basic Audio output have been around for about 100 years (the patent on the first design was 1907). The three-plug (red/white/yellow) RCA connector has been around since the 1940s (although that's normally only found on specialised kit).
S-Video and VGA were 1987, so they don't quite hit the 30 years but they're still pretty old.
Except, like a hydra, cut off one head and two more will take it's place.
The first, The Sun on Sunday, a Sunday edition of that whacky fun time daily tabloid everyone in Liverpool loves to hate, that rants on about paedophiles on page 2 and shows a barely 16 girl baring her breasts on page 3. With the second head likely coming with the full buying out of BSKYB. They'll control the News, Sports, Movies and general Entertainment the majority of people in the UK watch.
I'll stick with Blogs, BBC News, Film4 and Dave thanks. Atleast the BBC can come up with some balanced reporting sometimes.
Well, my User ID is well over the 1 million too (and about 300k more than Turtles) and I've been here for a couple of years. I'd hardly consider that an 'oldfag' though. I came here just as/. started to decline and it's been long enough for me to notice a marked difference and to be annoyed about it, so maybe that's his definition of an 'oldfag' - been here long enough to feel entitled to complain about the decline in quality, yet do nothing about it.
they've had the Source SDK out since the release of Half-life 2. You just had to buy the game first to get it. Now you can get a version of the engine for nothing (TF2) the SDK is free too.
IE will always need hacks so long as Microsoft clings to it's JScript interpretation of Javascript, especially with DOM Events handling. It's code is IDENTICAL to the W3C standard except it changed the name and the parameters sent in (like 'onclick' instead of 'click') and while most JS librarys worth their salt replace the event model wholesale (like JQuery) it's still a hurdle to overcome.
I'm not much of a designer so I can't speak for the CSS compatability first hand, but my designer co-worker assures me that there are some parts of the CSS spec that IE 9 still doesn't do that he would love to use. (Something about border images) but it seems like most of the CSS spec is implimented in some form or another.
I've got IE6 running on the "Windows XP Mode" in Win 7 (basically a WinXP VM). Thats only there because I still have to develop for the zombie platform. It's quite obvious why you can't run IE versions in paralell, and it's because, even now, they burrow their way into the operating system.
Lichtenstein has more registered businesses than people. It's a Tax Haven.
The two European Countries that are struggling most are Ireland and Greece, the rest of Europe struggles since they're part of the same Currency, and it's been forecast that Greece will have to drop out of the Euro within 2 years.
I know quite a bit about the history of Pakistan and India, and while elements of Indian culture remains, the forced division of the country by the collapse of the British Empire caused alot of that to disappear. It's also the reason Pakistan is a predominately Muslim country. When the division was created, most of the Hindu tribes living on the border region fled to India (around 12 million of them), leading directly to conflicts between India and Pakistan, pushing Pakistan to not only turn to it's neighbours for support, but also created it's own distinct culture, encompassing many elements of their new allies and somewhat shunning old Indian traditions.
From Wikipedia: American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan used the term in 1902[3] to 'designate the area between Arabia and India'. now, correct me if I'm wrong, but Pakistan (while formerly India) is now Between Arabia and India.
My own definition would be anything between the Red Sea/East Med shore and the Indus River that bisects the Indian subcontinent.
As for the run-on sentences, I'd call that an Indian phenomenon, rather than an Arab one. I've spoken to quite a few Arabs and they don't have that issue, but all the Indian friends I've got speak in extended sentences more often than not.
Middle East and Far east are the two etymologies that you should be comparing. Just because something is in South Asia doesn't mean it's not in the Middle East (or, indeed the Far East). Most of what we'd term the Middle East is technically South West Asia (As Africa stops at the Sinai Peninsula, that part of Egypt is actually in Asia too) and I would include Pakistan in the sphere of "Middle East" more than Far East, but it's an interesting case though, as any further East you have the likes of China, Bhutan and Nepal, which are all definitely Far East, and any further West you have Iran and Afghanistan, which are both definitely Middle East.
The culture of Pakistan has more in common with their Western Neighbours in the Middle East than their Eastern Neighbours, however India is more of a mix of all the surrounding cultures.
I'd still maintain that saying Pakistan is Middle Eastern is still correct. Saying India is Middle Eastern, less so, but forgivable.

Everyone knows AOL killed the floppy disk when they gave everyone a CD ROM with the whole Internet on it.

That's nothing, I know people who type google.com into the address bar, THEN type URLs into the google search box.

Yeah, but I don't have a wheel in my PC. It's all heatsinks

Not in Scotland.

yeah, Avazz.org have been bigging this up too. Atleast now there are ministers shouting about it too.

They don't work either. I think we should rename the "Streisand Effect" to the "RYAN GIGGS HAD AN AFFAIR Effect"

12. Pah. I was writing C64 Basic when I was 5. :P
Granted I couldn't make it compile and I went back to playing Flimbos Quest, but I *was* doing it
