One thing I always liked about slashdot is the ability to tag votes with things like “funny” or “informative”.

Many cakes have some sort of filling between flat layers and are therefore sandwiches.

Charlotte royale is a calzone, tho.

IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.

First OS on a computer I personally owned? Windows 98. First Linux distro was Source Mage.

If not counting ownership, then Apple IIs at school and then slightly later my family got an Amstrad that was primarily a DOS machine, but could also boot (by switching floppies several times) to some sort of GUI.

That was actually Unix. Specifically the fsn file manager for IRIX.

There’s a Linux clone called fsv.

As far as any of those sites are concerned, I was born January first, [the earliest year they allow].

With regard to the Homeric epics (The Iliad opens similarly), it should probably be noted that they didn’t originate as written works, nor did Homer compose them; he recorded an existing oral tradition.

The settlement at Roanoke […] Still unsolved to this day.

The word “CROATOAN” was carved on one of the buildings in the colony. The colonists had had friendly interactions with the native people living on Croatoan Island, which was nearby. There were later reports of native people with fair skin and beards on Croatoan Island.

So mysterious! Where could the colonists possibly have gone?
