Yes, they also decided to change the time to decimal time.

The day was divided into 10 hours, each hour was 100 minutes …

There is legislation about that. Not in the US of course, but in France and I think other European countries there is laws requiring to turn off ads, light in empty parkings lots, street lights … In the middle of the night.

You’re CEO and VP of IT are idiots.

Of course you can have open source in an enterprise environment and have someone to blame. You hire a company to install the open source software and maintain it.

There is also the Atelier Paysan in France that designed a lot of agricultural equipment published under creative Commons license.

Do they ? You state that roads are carrying more traffic than rails as obvious but I am not certain it’s true.

I’m not sure what would be the best metric so I decided to compare the number of passagers on the most used road in France with the most used rail line, that are both in Paris.

The most used road is the Autoroute urbaine Nord with 200 000 vehicles per day.

The most used rail line is the RER A with 1 400 000 daily passengers, 7 times more.

Yes, this is the first thing I’m doing when subscribing to a trial. As soon as I’m subscribed I immediately cancel so I don’t forget and I use the service for the trial period.

I remember very specifically not being able to play a game I was gifted because it needed at least 256mb of ram and the family computer only had 128mb.

I was extremely sad, then after months tried to push my parents to her a new computer. They say that the computer is supposed to have 256mb of ram.

After a while we realized that one of the ram sticks was not properly plugged in.

I think at least 80% of my printing is organizers.

I think I should warn you, it’s a 3h documentary about monks who committed to a vow of silence. There is no voiceover and no extra music, only the sounds recorded in the monastery.

So as the title said the movie is mostly … silent.

It’s an experience, a bit hard to get into but I think it’s the best way to experience and understand what their life is like.

I don’t know how to describe it but at one point there is a monk cutting a thick wool fabric and the just the sound of the scissors cutting through is memorable.

For the movie Into great silence, the director contacted the monastery to propose the idea for a movie about the monks in 1984. They said they needed to think about it.

In 1996 they called him back saying that they were willing to do it!

Proof that men want to wear skirts:

The game is amazing ! I don’t know how to describe the feeling after I just finished the game.

If anyone want to download a library with enough information to restart an industrial society from scratch there is the survivor library

Rather than a chain I’ve seen a kind of thick leather belt with a metal hook on our being used specifically for that.

It looked more adequate than the chain.

Thanks, I’m saving it in case I get lost one day.

My first memory with a computer was playing (more like trying to play) Microsoft flight simulator 1.0 on a Macintosh when I was around 8-9. The thing that looks like that:

I only started using Linux when installed dual boot Ubuntu on the family computer around 14-15.

Hey, I know this plate! This is an IKEA plate.

A study from the 80s showed that around 45% of fathers NEVER changed a diaper.

Things changed today but I would not be surprised if the dad never changed a diaper.

When the winter looks like that I can understand the metal.
