Who did the most? I'd say probably the USSR by numbers. The US was a huge driver of the war effort, and used a blend of hard and soft power to push. The UK and (Free) France were necessary resistance and emblematic of the other western efforts. The Battle of Britain can't be understated, they were a huge stopping block. ANZAC forces weren't as prevalent in WW2 as they were in WW1 - they weren't the leading force, but they were present and earned every ounce of respect. In theory, Japan could even be on here as a catalyst - even though they were allied to the Nazis and did many horrifying things, had it not been for Pearl Harbor, the US wouldn't have gotten involved.

But really I think it is either the USSR or the USA, with the UK a distant but necessary third.

No such thing as a free beer, no more than there's a free lunch.

Does the EFF call it Free?

Anything you might have spent on anime, manga, or games from the publishers or studios involved with this gang..

So what they're saying is to stop giving any money to a company that's part of or reports to CODA. Did I read that right?

They're for iOS, because the main tablet is an iPad. The first one is Clime (which used to be called NOAA Radar), and the second is called MyRadar.

WP Engine has always seemed a very weird business to me. WP is free, and many hosting & domain providers just offer it for free with your hosting. If you don't want to host yourself, why not just use WP.com and do a redirect? I've just never understood the value-add.

I mean that I have two different radar apps along with the Accuweather software. I look at it both for long-term and short-term forecasts. The last time I had a dedicated device just to do weather with the granularity and scale that I have on my tablet, the unit was called a home weather center (and required both GPS and internet access).

Most people aren't - they've given up the fight.

I agree with you about watches. Tablets though, I disagree. I have several different tablets and they do different things in my workflow from my laptops or phones. My tablets can be an ebook reader, weather center, and video viewer. One of them, I read comic books on. They're easier to use for those purposes than my laptop. I would need a second monitor to do those things, and I would need to switch it to tate mode for comic books and other ebooks to be comfortable for me to read. Plus, I couldn't read easily in bed or somewhere like that even with the form factor of the smallest netbook in my collection.

Who ever listed them as being anarchists? The Hobbits are among the last parts of the Kingdom of Arnor, and there are comments that they have taxes, but when nobody bothered picking them up, the elected mayor of the Shire and the leaders of the four farthings reinvested those taxes into whatever projects they saw most fit. Plus, there's a whole aristocracy. There's the related familes like Bagginses, Sackvilles, Proudfeet, Boffins, Brandybucks, Tooks; and there's some others who they're not related to as well.

The hobbits are literally the final remnant culture of a kingdom. And when you consider what happened to them with Saruman and Wormtongue in the Scourging, they'd much rather be under the King and have the military support of Gondor and its allies.

Now, if you want an anarchist place with hobbits, we could talk about Bree. But Bree is much smaller.

I'm not going to be tolerant of the watermark, and I don't feel like using PowerShell to get rid of it - plus there's drivers to consider. It's just faster and easier for me to grab an activated OEM version for the computer I have.

Key bindings can be changed, but I've never found the place to do it easily in the GUI in Mint. I touch the Linux command line for curl and ping, and that's about it.

I already play Wesnoth, and I haven't touched 0 AD in years. I prefer OpenTTD, Oolite, Endless Sky, and Minetest, along with occasionally poking at WarZone 2100. But that doesn't replace the DOS and Win9x games from my childhood. I don't use Valve's DRM platform (nor the one from Epic Megagames), and it's rare for me to pay for anything on GOG. But there's no other game that exactly hits the fun for me of Sid Meier's Covert Action, Shadow President, SimCity 2000 & 3000, Starfleet Command II: Orion Pirates, or a couple dozen others. Yes, it's nostalgia. But it harms no one.

As for the tax thing, I'll look into it, but I don't expect it will do what we need. We need to pay for the more expensive software because of our tax situation (don't want to get into detail for obvious reasons).
