I was using 5,25″ discs.

The only boy… is from Pulp Fiction.

Effi Briest by Theodor Fontane: The most boring book I ever had to read. It is SO dull, nothing happens. All books we had to read in school were fine but that one sucks great.

The Przewalski’s horse is not the wild form of our horse. It’s a other sub species (a little bit like the zebra or the donkey) with (for example) another chromosome count. Another problem is that there are evidences that the modern Przewalski’s horse feraled from a domesticate form of the primal Przewalski’s horse (that was tamed by the Botai culture). A further problem is that the Przewalski’s horse was extincted in the wild for decades and only survived because of human breeding (so it was kind of tamed again).

There are no wild horses; all horses are either tamed or their ancestors were.

Where I live you just get a letter some weeks before the election. With that letter you can vote at the place that is named in the letter (or anywhere in the same city). If you lose the letter you can still vote with your id-card, but only at the place that was named in the letter.

Easy, isn’t it?

I will never get why you have to Register at all

Just spoke with a tour guide about this topic. If you lived in a city during the middle age in Europe, the night watch announced the current time every hour. How did they know the time? They just guessed, because nobody in the city could know better.

It was never the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan.

Are you sure about that? It was once the tallest building in the world, then the second tallest (after the Chrysler Building), and (Wikipedia says so) after the 70 Pine Street was build the 2nd tallest in “Lower Manhattan”.

Get better soon!

I never understood why the Americans have to carry a weapon at all. I can understand (to some degree) to want to own a weapon (to defend your home from other people with guns, going hunting, shooting cans, etc. pp), but to carry it outside while doing normal things like shopping, dinning, watching a movie?

AFAIK you can only claim a trademark-violation if someone is (for example) selling stuff (so you couldn’t sell stuffed animals that look like an early Mickey for example).

I doubt he does.

Imaging for a moment all non-company-mail-servers would block all company-mail-servers (like gmail). Would that be a good idea?

I’m against the defederation. The internet and the www are based on the idea of connection.

A webserver listens on port 80 or 443. Neither port can be claimed by a normal user (no port below 1024 can). But yes if you manage more than your own user on a desktop AND these other users are not allowed to start programs on their own THEN a firewall can be helpful; but this is not a normal situation for a desktop-client, isn’t it?

It has gone a long way from a bus to a p2p.

So just close the ports (or more precise: Do not open them, as “closed” is the default for most software on Linux).

For what you need a firewall on a desktop-client?

What you describe is Zelda 2, but the OP spoke about Zelda 3.
