French Erotic Film (SWF)

Perhaps as an indication of how irrelevant Flash has become, my first reaction to seeing that was - you misspelled NSFW.

Microsoft misused Suns trademark with clear intent to poison the pool of cross platform Java Applets that were the focus of Java at the time by encouraging developers to use Windows specific APIs. From the start, Google had its own ecosystem and called its VM Dalvik to differentiate it.

A big issue with security guards is licensing. It makes more sense to bring the janitorial staff under the company umbrella, unless California is happy with any old ex-con with a gun becoming a security guard and there aren't any licensing issues there.

Viking wines were made from berries, not grapes. So significantly less warm than "vineyards" might imply.

And if the Vikings did explore the Americas, they would have done better to introduce some olives, right?

On Brazil, you need to be care of flies landing on the typewriter and changing Tuttle to Buttle though.

Adding DRM to a file is not circumventing the DRM. If anything, it was Real Network's DRM that was being circumvented by the conversion.

I'm not sure if I'd call PSTN voice calls from the 1980's a "minimally lossy" format.

I felt that way about iTunes at least 8 years ago.

And China. Most pirated Chinese movies and TV shows are in RMVB format.

Record company policies may have been the reason for Apple to use DRM in the first place, but it wasn't the reason they modified their syncing software every time a competitor managed to make their music compatible with that DRM.

Except they also have a lot of roads with 50mph, 40mph, 25mph, 20mph limits, and speed limit signs at intervals to remind people when the limit is something other than 30 or national speed limit (and sometimes even when it is those). Also I seem to recall (though it is a while since I drove there) that motorways and some other dual carriageways use explicit 70 signs rather than the national speed limit signs. On the other hand, a lot of the motorways around London, Birmingham and maybe other major cities are moving to variable speed limits with electronic signage, which makes a change easier (as long as they left room for a leading 1).

Micrometres are overkill as a replacement for thou. All that is needed is 0.1mm increments for most cases, as you rarely encounter tolerances less of than 4 thou, and if you do, you can go down to the 0.05mm or 0.025mm levels.

If you are making coffee it is 150ml.

Sorry, but your flat out wrong on that one. When I'm making coffee, it is 473.176ml, no milk, no sugar, and that's the way I like it.

The introduction of VAT probably would have been at 12.5% instead of 10%, as it fitted better with the monetary system. Not that that stopped it from becoming silly numers like 8%, 12.5%, 17.5% and others since then.
