Yoda was wise in Episode V, but he acted foolishly in Episodes II and III. Of course that makes sense,
Interesting. Can somebody explain why Yoda is serious in the Old Republic and playful and infantile / senile in the Empire? And what did he do with his laser?
Clocks were sold with user manuals, which featured entries such as "How to erect and regulate your device". When sewing machines appeared in the 1840s, they came with 40-page manuals full of detailed instructions. Discouragingly, it took two generations until a trade publication was able to declare in the 1880s that "every woman now knows how to use one."
Are you sure that they wrote "clocks"? Isn't there a letter too much?
It would be about the same as if California called themselves an independent nation, taking offense to being called Americans, and insisting on being known as Californians for their distinctive culture and self governance.
Alta California did call itself an independent nation, the California Republic, and left Mexico. Same about Texas.
J. Gregory Keyes' cycle "The Age of Unreason" pictures a world where science is systematized alchemy and it works. Newton is the master of the art and takes a colonial boy named Ben Franklin as an apprentice.
Some "scientific" inventions are the fervefactum, the ethergraph, shoes that float on water and the kraftpistole.
HPFS from OS/2 (by Microsoft) has Extended Attributes, limited to 64 KB. And since OS/2 has some uses for them, they are present also in FAT. The disk sectors for the EAs are stored in disk positions assigned to a file "EA DATA. SF". Disk defragmenters must not move this file. In HPFS, the EA sectors are near the actual file contents.
China had pretty much everything it wanted, short of arms (sound familiar?)
I don't understand the parentheses. What are you referring to?
What europe offered in return was opium. So you see, the west were dope pushers
I'd make those "India, an English colony" and the "the English empire". Other European powers were doing their own mischief but opium was an English (British?) specialty.

According to Wikipedia, the original Homer is also legendary. No word about his color.

That OS/2's MVDM was significantly better than NT's VDM at running DOS programs?
Wasn't it because of some patent-protected virtualization technology that IBM found for its mainframes?

I saw in Slashdot a proposal to abolish TLDs and make the rootservers work on the last letters or something.
If an organization would want separate sites for countries, they could have www.nz.redcross, mail.uk.redcross, etc.
So this is the killer app for GPS?
