I sent the Hungarian dance link to my Magyar uncle who is somewhat computer illiterate. This'll show him how binary can solve simple order.
I thanked them once for providing me with work.
Another time, a client told me that he was also contacted and complied with the instructions, but because he was so co-operative and very paranoid about intrusion, the scammers actually set him up with a pay by the month virtual service with a vpn somewhere in NY. Amazing! After about a year, he didn't want to pay anymore and asked me to clean his system.
Another time, a newbie girl stammered through the script. It was embarrassing. I let her go on until she finished and I assumed the role of her supervisor, told her that she should be more confident, practice a few more times etc. before informing her that what she was doing was illegal.
Please leave the Hungarians out of it.
With a 27"+ monitor at a reasonable ergonomic distance away and at a suitable magnification, you can easily read 2 pages next to each other on the screen, like a book.
My old 19" 4:3 monitor died a few years ago and the 27" 16:9 works a treat for my uses.
'nuff said.
Watch out for the burning shards of plastic and metal on impact.
Plus, the Germans insisted on using the metric system.
Much better than the Napoleonic measurement. That was a disaster.
I have some old books (17th century) where the first word of the next page overleaf is printed under the text. When did this go out of fashion?
No. The space before the full stop has nothing to do with typesetting. It is a writing style now out of favour. A few years ago I edited a 500 page document and had to remove all the spaces before stops. Easy enough to do - just search for " " and replace with "" a few times but a hassle none the less. The author was an 80 year old writer of esoteric dogma. She also indented the first word at the beginning of every paragraph.
Spot on! Latin was used for diplomatic and administrative purposes across Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe during the times of the Holy Roman Empire. Why? Because of the huge problem of communication with peoples within the empire. At least 19 different languages had to have some sort of commonality, and the RC church was the ideal way of this kind of transmission.
Don't forget that the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Rite) lasted to 1250 and used Greek and Latin. The Holy Roman Empire (in some form) lasted till 1918, with the last Emperor, Otto Hapsburg dying a few years ago.
So even though Austrian German was the operative language for hundreds of years, Latin was used as the written form and spoken still in diplomatic circles when German was not shared. The old Austro-Hungarian Empire officially stopped using Latin in 1867, although in practice it was used for another 50 years as German became the lingua franca.
However I should point out that the watershed v German and English had a profound effect of Sciences and History. Even today, the ex-Axis countries are repairing the gap. Their Universities were not recognized in the West, and the Western academia have consequently poor knowledge of Central and Eastern European sciences as it wasn't inclusive in the Western mindset.
Why so suprised? The point of renewable energy is using less fossil fuels.
I like that! Imagine constructing images out of photons.... - oh wait.....
So that means that tall gangly kids are stupid?

Close but no cigar. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it went like this:
Towards 2000 (Beyond production) - a 1hr episode by Australians for Australians in the 90's
Beyond 2000 - Same though after 2000 AD - then came Mythbusters for the US market.
The 2 original shows were future science, gadget shows and had no Mythbuster content. The 43 minute show format is purely a US production.
Note: Jamie and Adam are here in Oz right now and have a stage show where they are mythbusting all by themselves.
Why would Archer bother?
