It only uses octal because it can get away with it. If there was a fourth action (like delete or smoke) they'd use some other notation because it would suck ass.
Statistically speaking, Stonehenge has _fewer_ astronomical alignments then would be expected by chance.
It's aligned with sunrise in midsummer and sunset in midwinter. That's approximately one more than you'd get if you scattered a load of rocks at random.
It's "planishing", not "plenishing", unless you've run out and gone to get some more from the stores.
There was a kid in my class who always used to call it a punishing hammer. I was rather surprised the teacher didn't hit him with one; it was allowed in those days, before the bloody Belgians stuck their noses into everything.
There's evidence that some moorish cavalry were stationed in Britian. It's unremarkable as stationing auxiliary units a long way from their homeland was a standard practice to discourage desertion.
They're totally blowing it out of all proportion though.
An English archaeologist is digging and finds some copper fragments. He concludes that the ancient Britons were very advanced for their time because they had a telephone system.
A French archaeologist is digging and finds some bits of glass. He concludes that the Gauls were even more advanced because they had fibre-optics.
A Scottish archaeologist is digging and finds nothing at all. He concludes that the Picts were the most advanced of all, as they all had satellite phones.
It's not, actually. It's in the main article (not the 2015 rules) about a third of the way down. If AmiMoJo tells you the sky is blue, look up and check.
It's false equivalence, even if a woman said it. That probably makes me a racist.
That's a stupid name too. Why not call it an intentionally misleading interface (which says what it is, no more and no less) without trying to imply witchcraft, aliens, or some quasi-masonic conspiracy..
You know, progress and all. But some of these structures are just massive, and could very well have held a larger wooden structure above it.
I'm not a structural engineer, but it seems implausible.
For one thing, how would you secure the upper wooden part to the stone base? It might be theoretically possible, but it'd just be easier to build the whole thing as one contiguous wooden structure - you know, like every wooden fort you've ever seen or heard of.
There has to be room for something with a more mundane purpose that has survived through the ages.
But they don't. What are the main survivors from medieval times? Mostly castles & cathedrals. How about Roman times? It's largely military defences & temples too. Because things like that are over-engineered to a ludicrous degree, one because if it fails you're dead, the other because building it was an act of dedication that transcends normal cost/benefit analysis.
Of the things we have today, what does anyone imagine they would look 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 years from now?
10,000 years is a long time - longer than recorded history - and you're being a bit disingenuous bringing it up. It's roughly twice as old as Stonehenge. At 1K I'm guessing some cathedrals would survive if they've survived this long, along with a fair few nuclear bunkers.
Kinder (and any others) are playing on that tradition.
Perhaps that's exactly why he thinks the patent is ridiculous?
The tradition is older/wider than that. In Catholic countries they put a small figurine in a rice cake for Easter (or is it Epiphany?) & some say that in turn is derived from the way the pagan Celts used to choose human sacrifices...
1. Submit the petition to the Office of the Pardon Attorney
The President doesn't have to do that. The site is about circumstances under which a person may apply for a pardon. Nothing to do with the POTUS granting one on his own initiative.

If the thing is leaking biometric information and who knows what else all over the place you can't fix that in release 2. Once it's out, it's out.
Or the MPAAA & RIAAA as they're called north of the border.

Right. Because when a word gets borrowed into another language it like totally retains all the connotations and nuances of the original.
It almost does. There's the basis of a decent movie plot in there.
I see what you did there. Bravo, very subtle.
At least we know they're not malicious, just incompetent.
Was that before the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, or after?

Clearly the denizens of the golden age were houseproud and therefore (unlike the current bunch of scabby monkeys) tidied up after themselves.

Tuppenny wine in a ten-shilling bottle, like everything else tainted by the curse of UX.

FTFY.

In the 1850s they counted as 60% of a person. Such is progress...
If it was a bus station or a supermarket it's unlikely it would have be so ostentatiously and expensively constructed.
For those who are wondering, this is probably why we find very few iron age bus stations & supermarkets (apart from the Co-Op in Barnsley).
The first line says:

As others have said, there's precedent - Nixon.
He has more in common with Trump every day.
