I often get accused of having a British or English accent. (Mind you they usualy say 'I Love your accent) While my grandparents did come from Britain I was born and raised in The North Island.
Anyway what has this got to do with monitors in classrooms. Even if you are using the built in speakers that doesnt change the sound in that way. All modern monitors have option to change the language of the (written) text of the conrols displayed, even back in the days when they were all CRT's rather than LCD/LED
The wheel tends to be more useful when you have domesticatable animals suitable for pulling your vehicle. Have you ever tried to harness a cart to a kangaroo?
BTW the Incas never developed the wheel either in spite of being very advanced in agriculture, irrigation and building stone structures. (they didn't have horses or cattle either.
You could still have a first person combat game without shooting. Just using swords, spears and other hand to hand weapons. You could also go more into fantasy than historical and have magic spells
"You don't see people messing with The Iliad -- it exists today in exactly the same format that Homer wrote it down, and the changes that he penciled in to later editions"
Homer didn't 'write down' anything - he was a blind orator storyteller. and I don't think ancient greeks had pencils either.
"The investigation originally focused on a 2006 note published in Polar Biology based on a unique observation of four dead polar bears. The investigators acknowledged that they had no formal training in science"
So the headline would be "Dead Polar Bears had no formal science training"
We must ensure better education for the bears so they can understand the climate changes and so adapt to the conditions.
I presume the high magnetic field is what alerted the (ASW variant) Bear to their presence just before they entered the trench. Anyway my main criticism of the 'caterpillar"drive is the fact tht the watertubes would pass right through the center of the boat, there wouldnt be room for the vertical missile tubes which after all is the raison d'etre of an SLBN

Ah, the 1980's when Joanna Lumley was hot and David Macullum was cool.
While landing a helicopter on a ship is common, landing one on a boat is not often done. Mostly they hover above and lower or pick up people using the hoist. Even the largest boats (like the Ohio and Typhoon class SSBNs don't have a large flat area for use as a flight deck since it would be not efficient (and noisy) when submerged.
In the early days of VTOL flight it was discovered that 'tail sitters' were hard to land even for propellor driven vehicles. The pilot can't see what he is doing. The process of trying to hover a rocket powered plane over a ship while landing seems very dangerous. the exhaust is much hotter than the exhaust of a turbofan (like a Harrier) you might burn a hole in the flight deck.
Anyway I expect there is not likely to be any further government funding for this (deficit reduction is the name of the game in Washington DC these days)
Why are the Democrats opposed to Barne&Noble eReaders? They are not really competing in the iPad market,, only against the Kindle and other low cost devices.

Ideally you should have fair trade, and full containers going both ways.
The problem I have with calculators is not being able to find the ENTER key

"The six-tonne, 20-year-old spacecraft has fallen out of orbit"
Not yet. It is still in orbit, though a rapidly decaying one due to atmospheric drag.
"and is expected to crash somewhere on Earth on or around 24 September"
Its pretty much certain that it is going to crash on earth. There is no chance of it hitting any other planet.

Graf Von Zeppelin seemed to think that aerial transportation using hydrogen was 'practical, as long as you don't need high speed.
Maybe you should buy online. There are places that sell barebones systems with no os. TigerDirect is one.
And if the place you are buying from is not in your state, you can avoid the sales tax as well as the microsoft tax
And you save a trip to the vets^Wstore too, they are delivered free right to your door.
But back then you had to use compression to fit stuff on floppy disks. In 1991 I was using 880KB floppies.And the Fish_List was more than a megabyte.
We could stop having wars*, but the Republicans wouldn't like that idea either.
*and drastically reduce military spending
its called the 'off' switch. Maybe I should patent it.
"What is the Guardian?"
In trhe UK it is a national newspaper. I presume this is what the gp is referring to.
Although for millions of us around the world, The Guardian was Shoghi Effendi Rabbani (1897-1957) head of the Baha'i Faith 1921-1957

Pluto isn't even a planet any more :(
I'd guess a newer version came out and they launched that instead. (I have never heard of KH9 but I have heared of KH11 )

Take the seismologists to court for failing to predict the quake, or does that only happen in Italy?

I never owned a Spectrum, it had a terrible keyboard. Back in those days I had a Commodore 64

Real nerds measure 'pressure' in (kilo)pascals
I think that you would probably stay up there longer than it (the ISS) would.
Given tthat they are planning to deorbit it in a decade or so anyway.
