But... "compiling for your platform" is just another way to install software. You could wrap this in a little application (call it "setup"), where you click "Next >" several times, and as a result you have a binary for your platform. For those who know what they are doing, there is always the "expert configuration" button.
If you really want to learn from history, you have to get causation and effect right. And to do that you have to get the chronological order, which means you have to know the dates of events at least relative to each other.
To say that dates don't matter as much as the ability to learn from history thus doesn't make any sense.
Exact dates are still one of the most important base facts in history, because without them it's not possible to point out causal connections. And if you want to achieve a certain learning from history, you need to look at causations and consequences.
Just to give you a better picture: Less than 5% of all Dutch people live within walking distance to the coast, but all of the Maledivians do. The largest island is Malé, with just about a square mile (2.7 sq km). So while 95% of all Netherlands can hide behind several layers of dikes, none of the Maledivians can. Or for some other numbers: The whole of the Maledives covers 298 sq km of land, stretched over 823 km x 150 km of ocean, completely different than the Netherlands with more than 41000 sq km of land stretched over 360 km x 280 km.
The whole length of the Dutch dikes is about 3000 km, so if we estimate that an average dike is 30 m wide, a similar construction would amount to 30% of the whole maledives used for the dikes, while less than 0,25% of the Netherlands are actual dikes.
That's right. But a lot of the Netherlands is below sea level whereas the Maldives are above sea-level. So who has most to fear?
The Maledives, because their ratio of land area to coast line (yes, I know, a natural coast line is infinitely long, but we are talking dikes here, which have a minimum size) is much worse than that of the Netherlands. And you forget that all dutch land that is below sealevel is artificial anyway and won by closing off vast areas from the Northern Sea with large embankments, which in turn are built to be as short as possible for a maximum of land gain. Whoever suggests that this is a feasible way for the Maledives where the average distance between two atolls is much longer than even the large Afsluitdijk (20 mls), got something wrong.
Because we know that the Dutch live in a region with extensive mudlands, which the Maledives miss. And we know that the Dutch don't live on about 1200 atolls (hey, the word atoll even origins from the maledivian atolhu), but on the deltas of two large european rivers, Meuse and Rhine.
Napoleon was never democratically elected. And most of his successors weren't either. France has started democracy in 1789, yes, but it was a monarchy for most of the 19th century until Napoleon III lost the french-german war in 1871.
I wouldn't personificate a country, and even if I did, there is still the question which other countries can be considered peers (as in "being of the same social rank") in this case. That in fact the U.S. constitution considers all citizens peers to each other is something completely different. For a hierarchical society like the feudal states of Middle Age Europe, "peer" means someone from the same social group: pawns are peers to other pawns, craftsmen peers to other craftsmen, barons to other barons, and kings were peers to other kings. "A jury of peers" as stated in the Magna Charta thus means, that a baron was not allowed in a jury to judge a pawn, and a craftsman was not allowed in a jury deciding upon a count.
And yes. If we somehow sort countries by "social rank", we indeed find that some peer pressure works between states. The U.S. and China are different in a way that they don't have any peers.
He still can sell the CD though. If the prospective buyer is not allowed to run the stored program because of some license issues, then we have a completely different problem.
Telling others how to live and how to govern themselves has never worked.
... except for most of the time in history. There those strange things like social pressure and peer pressure, and there is simple force by the ruling group.
(Which in fact makes the whole patent moot... the term hyper media already contains the idea to have different applications handle different types of media within a common frame. If they don't patent a very specific mechanism, the patent claim is selfevident.)
"hyper" doesn't need any further definition, being greek, it just means "above". A "hyper media" thus is just a container for a set of different media, which are connected together with a "hyper" mechanism (like interactive links).
At least he was the very antithesis to an islamic-fundamentalist ruler. In fact he was an pan-arab dictator running on a socialist and nationalist platform, and a fundamentalist cleric was considered an enemy to the state like any other person who was propagating a rule different to the baathist one of Saddam Hussein.

Because the conjunction A v B is only true when A and B both are true, while A ^ B is true if at least one of A and B is true.
So it is forbidden now to do both A and B at the same time, while Texting itself and Driving itself are still allowed. Thus only (A v B) is forbidden, but (A ^ B) is still allowed if (not A B).
The main difference between livings at one side and airplanes, automobiles and bicycles at the other is, that the latter ones have to be owned to make sense in their environment (otherwise we consider them garbage). Livings make sense without an owner.
We are back at the "watch found on a heath" argument, where the first thought is not, as a believer in creation claims, "someone must have made it", but "someone must have lost it here". Because differently than a flower or a mouse on a heath, which fit there without any idea of "owning", a watch only fits on a heath if you imagine an owner which put it there (probably inadvertely, because he lost it).
God is not a hacker messing something up, but his superb programmer far above and beyond anything any human can even imagine.
Interestingly though the programmer God never patches an error. If there is any error correction, it consists of disabling the errorneous part of the code and coding a backpack somewhere else with a different solution to the same set of problems. And he has a very twisted idea of "good enough". A potentially deadly error somewhere stays there, as long as enough individuals never get confronted with the conditions to trigger the error. And if the error is triggered often enough, he most often just abandons the whole project instead of correcting the error.
I'll stick with my tried and trusted HP 4050 TN:) I bought a second one from eBay as scrapyard to get replacement parts, and I guess it will last another 10 years:)

No. I just point out an error in reasoning.

If you automatically tape every phone call on a certain phone, you have to sort later (and according to the law delete calls from and to the lawyer).

That's why in Germany the name is "Deutsch-Französischer Krieg" (German-French War). No mention of Prussia.

The rings around Uranus were already discovered in 1977. And they are actually dirty (and icy).
But Uranus actually has a ring system.
The copyright office actually is a british invention (where every work of art had to be registered before it was allowed to be printed).

Which volume do you want to be discounted?
Because the conjunction A v B is only true when A and B both are true, while A ^ B is true if at least one of A and B is true.
