He would have been buried under a large paving stone in the floor of the church. It would have been engraved with his name, but was probably lost when the church was demolished. The Tudors had no interest in preserving his memory, which was a threat to their legitimacy.
That was sarcasm, right? Anyway, I have twelve examples of file:/// in my browser history, all of them automatically generated by scripts. If I ever meet a script that capitalizes "File" then we may be in trouble.
This is why they were pushed to adopt anglo-style family names, especially after the Reformation. And why every Welshman seems to be named Jones or Davies even though they are unrelated. Something similar happened in all the Celtic areas. In Scotand the highlanders adopted their clan names, which led to similar confusion.
Give it a rest. Hitler had all the socialists arrested, both inside and outside his party. Many of them were murdered. His biggest supporters were industrial magnates. In the Spanish civil war he sided with Franco against the socialists. After eliminating the Jewish threat, his number two goal was to eliminate the "bacillus" of socialism, especially as instituted in Russia. If Poland had not been in the way then France and Great Britain would have never gone to war, as Hitler's first and only attack would have been east against Stalin. It was his hope that they would stay out anyway. Of course they didn't, but that did not stop him from eventually attempting his real goal: the overthrow of Stalin's leftist regime.
Once my contract was over I called them up and they gave me the unlocking code. Took a couple of minutes. I've done it a couple of times. So, I I do not understand your claim that "they almost never provide the unlock codes for phones once the contract has expired."
No such units actually exist. Segregation is not merely illegal but anathema in the modern military, and any attempt to do so would be seen for what it is and spark a mutiny.
Not merely species, but entire genera and even higher clades such as families and orders can vanish. The dinosaurs which were almost completely wiped out in the KT event are a sub-order. And of course, we are in the midst of a major extinction event right now, due to human activity since the Pleistocene.
Thank you for the reference to Yossi Kreinin. I taught myself C as a child and later learned C++ from Scott Meyer's books (which should have been a red flag--learning a language by studying its workarounds) but I had never seen Krenin's FQA before. I had no idea that all the stupidity of C++ was not considered normal or necessary in computer science. I think I must have quit programming right after learning loki, because I must have instinctively understood that a language extension that uses idioms that are completely orthogonal to the base language (recursive vs iterative) is INSANE.
And here it is twenty-some odd years later and std::cout is STILL slower than printf() despite the latter being type-determined at run-time.
Apparently the headline is a lie. The scientists did NOT get more light than current LED's. Current LED's already have surface treatments. What they did was demonstrate that this firefly has its own surface treatment for the same effect. So, no--this is not going to spur advances in LED design any more than its wings will inspire new advances in commercial flight.
I usually get sick from the flu shot as well, but it's nothing like getting the actual flu. Last winter I was laid up with the real thing and had to consider whether or not I was going to survive the night. One day I managed to spend only a few hours sitting up. This was followed by six weeks of bronchitis. The flu shot might make you feel nasty, but the actual flu is orders of magnitude worse.
No, there is no significant difference. Evolution is a change in allele frequency in a population, due to various causes including both drift and selection, acting on alleles created by mutations. The only difference between this case and "natural" selection is that some scientists created the selection pressure intentionally, instead of it being accidental. The guppies evolved to survive in a new environment that happened to have been created by white humans for that purpose, but nature itself creates odd environments with different selection pressures all the time.
It is true that you can use an X-box gamepad on your PC, but unfortunately most games I have seen translate proportional motion commands into WASD keys, which is insane, especially considering the same game on the Xbox-360 interprets joysticks properly. Using a pair of proportional joysticks for motion and direction are the only advantage of gamepads over keyboard/mouse, so I am confounded by the inability to use them properly.
I think what happened was that they assumed certain data was unimportant or safe enough not to need validating. Standard game options probably fall in that category. Unfortunately, permadeath was mis-characterized as a standard game option, perhaps because at one point it was considered so. This obviously causes problems for people who unwittingly join such a game, which is probably why the option was disabled. They didn't worry about it because there was no legal way to enable that option. Oops.
Squeezing all the necessary radioactive decay into a short space of time would melt the planet and vaporize the oceans, even if you could modify the rate of radioactive decay by five or six orders of magnitude, which you probably cannot.
If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, then the wavelength of A4 (middle A, 400 Hz) is about 0.85m, on the order of the size of the human vocal tract.
The wavelength of a note at 0.2 Hz would be 680 m. Not to say that a human could not make such a sound--you can do it by slowly waving your hand--but it would be so poorly coupled as to be lost in the background noise. This would be like trying to broadcast AM radio with a cell phone antenna instead of a longwire or mast. To effectively pump out a sound at that frequency you would need a speaker diaphragm one hundred meters in diameter. You might get away with ten meters if you were standing inside it.
Security Task Manager checks for things like suspicious processes, keyboard snooping and modifications to the hosts file. It gives me a popup warning a few seconds after I modify it myself. I doubt it can handle zero-day rootkits, but it helps you keep an eye on normal stuff and helps to ID misbehaving tasks when you are running way too many of them.
Runs on my Vista desktop and I've been running it since XP. The author once patched something for me overnight, a year after my fifteen dollar purchase, so I guess I have brand loyalty for that.
Actually the original Robin Hood would have spoken Norman French and Middle English, the latter of which sounds more like American English than RP English.
Can't speak for the summer, but Eurasia had a hell of a cold winter. It snowed in the middle of the Mediterranean, and Moscow had its first winter in years.
The implication of the Register article is that medieval temperatures were so unexpectedly high that: 1) If the new tree ring analysis is correct, 2) If the temps were global, and 3) If they were causes by this orbital mechanic that is still in operation then AGW will ultimately be swamped by the cooling trend.
#1 needs to be replicated, #2 is almost certainly wrong, and #3 is complete BS. Apparently this orbital forcing of lower temps was extremely strong for a while. Whether this was ever true or not is debatable, but it is certainly no longer true, and is largely irrelevant for AGW arguments unless you can show that another one is coming this century.

You might see his legs, and that must never happen.

This was my response. GIMP works great for me and has an update every time I check. Why is he calling it dead?

It is the fat that gets converted to soap, so: no.
That's right, I'm a certified HI-FI Whatspot! An' I was once a boxer in San Diego!

GOG has been down for at least 24hours, with occasional uptime. Does not appear to be a publicity stunt this time.

SRSLY people. This is not the same person. The message sounds entirely tongue-in-cheek. And way too over the top to be taken seriously.
