Yep. There most likely were multiple waves of emigration from Africa. It's just that the most recent one is the one that made the largest impression in the gene pool.

It's made for tinkering and learning. It's used for a lot more due to it being so easily replaceable. After all, I don't care if there are binary blobs from a trusted vendor for th…

MOC will play mods as well as other audio, and since it can be controlled over the console, you can probably hook it up to a web page too, if you're prepared to tinker with it.

The one thing that could be done is to keep bloat to a minimum. It makes the web faster and less energy use is merely a bonus.

People from the Nordics had trade relations with Southern Europe and Asia all the way back in the bronze age. Alas, records are vague at best, but there's definitely reason to beli…

Adding my voice to this argument: Xbox live stopped my pirating simply by providing a more easily accessible alternative and with prices that are competitive enough for me to prefe…

"Finntech"

Life, as we know it, only exists in one single known location in the Universe: Earth. If we assume life is abundant in the Universe, then we should be able to pick up signs of othe…

Definitely not. There's probably no shortage of people promiting their own culture's demise either.

As a Swedish-speaking Finn, I can confirm that a culture can end up on the decline even if there's powerful legal backing to preserving it (including forcing the remaining ~90% of …

Yep. A common European first language would start a process which would result in a terrible loss of local cultural tradition. Cultural suicude for the common good has been suggest…

Yep. It's too big to fail - even if Automattic goes belly-up the community would keep WordPress afloat for years.

The mastering of the newer generation of metal records is usually done for digital, and they don't really re-master anything for the vinyl release. Most new vinyls sound OK, but in…

The Norse had some blood from around the Black Sea according to some sources, so the explanation could be simpler.

Mead.

Too much profanities stuffed in, to such an extent that the desire to provoke takes up any space that could have been used for some kind of artistic expression. Or something. The t…

Right here and now? Nowhere. In the next 2-3 years? Well, Belarus, Ukraine and several nations around the Caspian sea have some akward situations that might escalate into something…

As a rule of thumb, make sure the site works with Lynx. If it does, then you probably won't need anything but minor adjustments.

> See, anyone can come up with whacky stuff. Any habitual stoner could tell you that. Once your blood THC levels are high enough, the secrets of the universe will unfold before you…

People have been making sexual references in song lyrics since the dawn of time, and that's perfectly fine. As mentioned in a sibling comment, it's not the explicit lyrics but the …

Precisely! "Conspiracy" requires a secretive element, whereas the media conglomerates are quite open with their goals to make everyone consume more media in order for them to make …

Oh, I don't have a problem with explicit lyrics and am perfectly well aware of sex' and love's statuses as the most common tropes in lyrics. It's just that this particular "song" i…

The music industry has never hidden that they manipulate listeners into consuming more and more media, so it's pretty much the opposite of a conspiracy. It's like saying the ad ind…

I got curious and listened to it, and after listening to that load of rubbish, I simply don't feel connected with society anymore. Do people actually listen to this and like it, or…

I suddenly feel the need to build a Floppy-drive Walkman that plays mods and MIDI files on the inserted floppy.
