We had foreign banks who advertised that as a strength and sent their profits to their countries. But when there was a crisis they said we are just a local bank with the same brand as a US bank and won't give the customers their savings back.

Maradona was anti-establishment. Compare Pelé with Sócrates for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B3crates

Maradona was left-wing friendly, same as Sócrates, which is somehow seen more positively by the crowds. And while Sócrates gets credit for participating at rallies and protests and actually walking the walk, I've never seen Maradona rallying with the people, just benefitting from Cuban public health service.

Despite having been a politician, Pelé rarely discussed preferences, as he was aware of repercussions to his image. In that regard, he can be compared with Michael "republicans also buy sneakers too" Jordan.

On debian you can install it with the package dict-gcide

Flogging it, pretty much.

I have a manual license, but I'm not interested in them. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Wouldn't modifying some GNU emacs shortcuts to his liking be easier than mantaining that editor?

Productive people are just lazy in a different way.

I don't know about orbiter but FlightGear uses JSBsim for flight dynamics modeling which can be very accurate and was even used at NASA. You are correct that as space is not the primary use case for FG the shuttle developers had to start from scratch on many things.

This FlightGear's shuttle is the most accurate version. I think the choice of shuttle mission was because of the unusual transpolar trajectory.

The STS 62A polar orbit mission was scheduled to take place in 1986, so the model used in the sim doesn’t correlate to what the shuttle capabilities were at the time.

Where it says FileName.Extension[,Version] MONITR.EXE,4 What was the version used for? Did it track the changes?

I don't know about DEC-20, but on VMS, changing a file makes a copy with a new version number:

  $ edit foo.txt
  ...
  Ctrl-Z
  $ dir
  foo.txt;1
  $ edit foo.txt
  ...
  Ctrl-Z
  $ dir
  foo.txt;1 foo.txt;2

When you delete a file, you have to specify a version field (blank for latest):

  $ del foo.txt;
  $ dir
  foo.txt;1

IIRC, you can configure how many versions to keep.

Yes that's right, the versions to retain was configurable, and the whole versioning mechanism was really useful and a great miss from today's OSes. The VMS file and directory syntax otoh was a real pain, Unix definitely wins there.

The version number was used the same way in TOPS-20 (which I never used) and Tenex, its predecessor (which I did). Emacs still has a facility for numbering backup files in the same way.

I move to /tmp and it gets deleted on next reboot.

/tmp is a ramdisk on some systems, which makes this particular approach a very risky endeavor to use as a global replacement for ‘rm’ as the OP suggests.

Sure, also it works for me because it is on a system that is frequently turned off. If it would have to stay on for a long time it would fill /tmp with garbage.

I meant to warn others that, for example, “del foo.iso” could fail due to OOM. As long as they understand that, your use case will work fine for them.

I do the same but sometimes I get email from google telling that I should disable access to those unsafe apps.
