Site uses the Ikea logo and colors and contains no disclaimer. I can see how people could mistake it for an "official" site.

There's a right way and a wrong way to do this. Sounds like IkeaHackers have chosen the wrong way.

FTFY

There should be nor arguing about CCTLDs. All CCTLDs, (except for .uk, which is an oddity) are in ISO 3166-1. The standard may be right or wrong, accurate or vague, fair or unfair, but it's a standard.

.gb would be standard.

The real benefit of the meter is that the British yard (0.9144 m) was different form the Spanish vara (0.836 m), and they were different from the French verge (1.045 m). Hours, minutes and seconds are all the same in most (or all) of the world.

Are you joking? Search for ruler in Google images and most of them are in centimeters. The rest are in inches.

The foot mark is the prime symbol (according to Wikipedia).

What is called the apostrophe key is a straight symbol never to be used in modern typography. A curly apostrophe is identical to the right single quotation mark.

He's saying he doesn't understand why his banks has a lenght limit.

It depends if you stress "that" or not.

1) "less space than *that*, is required to store Wikipedia"

2) "less space than that is required to store Wikipedia" = "less space than what is required to store Wikipedia"

0/1 is a fraction. 0/0 is not.

an object weighs 2.36x more on Jupiter than it does on Earth. The same object weighs 27x more on the Sun than it would on Earth. Its mass would be the same

I assume you'll be surprised that for many people, weigh means: to hold up or balance, as in the hand, in order to estimate the amount of mass;

You are wrong. You can use French when programming. You want your variables and comments in French. But it's ridiculous to have your keywords also in French. It is debatable if it is a good idea to have libraries translated into another language. Here an example in PHP

$query = "SELECT ID, Parent, Nom FROM Animaux ORDER BY Nom ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$categories = array();

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$categories[] = array(
'parent_id' => $row['Parent'],
'categorie_id' => $row['ID'],
'nom_categorie' => $row['Nom']
);

I think that exposure to multiple religions can a be a good thing.

You already are leaving out .travel, .museum, .xn--54b7fta0cc (Bangladesh), .xn--p1ai (Russian Federation) and many others.

The point of avoiding monitoring is so that his wife doesn't know how he spends the money. Therefore, the explanation "I buy them on sale and sell them on ebay. I then pocket the difference" is the same as accepting monitoring.

In this case the second password needs more combinations to be cracked just because it's longer

That's the whole point of the comic, to calculate entropy. If passwords were fully random the short one has 72.1 bits of entropy and the long ones has 117.5. It doesn't matter that you can achieve 117.9 bits of entropy with only 18 characters and the wider character set. I think it is much easier to remember: "ihgfwljytcvkrpnfdakngtecj" than "jgEm,8(l]tT3FcVNw#".
