Marshall has copyright on his lyrics, you just said yourself patents and copyright are different things.

Sufficiently different rip-offs that don’t confuse consumers as being the original should be legal. They already are as far as copyright is concerned.

Many design patents should never have been registered, and should lose when defended in court. Design trademarks are a third similar issue.

Move New Years back to march 1st, then the Latin roots will be accurate again.

That’s a feature supporters of imperial thinks it has. Even if imperial/some special third option is better for guessing, the difference has to be big enough that it’s worth the hassle of having multiple systems or converting everyone again. If it’s not worth having two systems but it is worth converting everything , then you still have to keep or prove that it’s worth losing the conveniences of metric like 1 km = 1000 m , 1 L of water weighing 1 kg , water freezing and boiling at 0 and 100 °C

It’s going to have some metadata to that effect yes, like a file index or number of parts or total extracted file size. I don’t know the details, I’ve used them I haven’t read the spec. rar is Rarlab’s proprietary format so there might not even be a public spec.
They’re normally all the same size except for the last part, so it’s not that file 1 is just an index.

Yes, it asks for the next part if it’s not in the same folder with the same name, doesn’t really make a difference what it’s stored on. Multipart zip and tar also exist.

Multipart archives still exist. They’re now used for file sharing websites that have a maximum file size. Before that they were for unreliable p2p networks, so you didn’t lose the parts you’d already downloaded when your peer goes offline. Originally it was to fit something big on multiple cd-roms or floppies.

Opening somthing.rar also reads the data in somthing.r01 through somthing.r15 etc

There’s commercial pasta from soft wheat but I think it should be durum flour; that can be semola or a white one. Both worked fine for me.

Definitely use your machine. Maybe it’s that the inside is undercooked or the outside overdone. Egg pasta is somewhat easier to get right too, if you eat eggs, try that.

You don’t need light to grow mushrooms.
