There are two - and before I shuffle off this mortal coil, I might manage both. Prague - and Wenceslas Square - where I'm told the atmosphere at Christmas is just wonderful - It's a nice enough place any time of the year, but I've never made it there at Christmas. Bethlehem in Palestine. I've … Read more

He's not a real person - this is just an internet myth. The camera (as we know it today) was more a development of several inventions, rather than one single discovery. Johann Zahn is the man credited with creating the first functioning image capturing device. He did this in 1685.

30 * 16 = 480 m²

People keep saying that the world will end soon. No! It's not true! They just want to get attention. People say it's going to end in 2012. We don't know! Maybe, maybe not. JEEZ! When God says enough fighting, he will send Jesus down, and people won't even know it's Jesus! So then it'll just … Read more

Athenosphere has sortof thrown us, I think. Did you means Asthenosphere or Atmosphere?

If you are much under 18, then wait - you cannot be sure yet  what mother nature has in store for you. If you are much over 18 the chances are that there is nothing more that is likely to change. You either have to be happy in the body that you have (and big … Read more

In some parts of your answer you are confusing multitasking with multiprocessors.

I was in Berlin about a month after the wall came down. I'd have loved to have been there for that. I was in South Africa about 3 months after the end of apartheid, and the sense of, "Look out, world, here we come!" was palpable. It seemed as if everyone had a sense of … Read more

OK. Almost all camping on land owned by someone else is considered "Trespass".  If you arrive late and leave early, and no-one ever knew you were there, who cares? Public footpaths are always on land that is "owned by someone" - (and you might be disturbed by someone using the footpath). Generally speaking, if you … Read more
