For Starcraft in particular there is also a very apt comparison to chess, which is usually taken seriously and has at times been considered a sport. Of course, unlike chess, in SC it matters how well you can move the pieces. SC also has more strategic depth and a virtually infinite number of possible unique games.

I actually found my chess had improved considerably just from moving up to Gold in SC2.

More than "some." Think chess, but with about 100 times as much strategic depth, an infinite number of possible unique games and it matters how well you can move the pieces.

Only to kernel developers.

You can't break a license agreement to which you aren't a party. If your opinion was widespread, Samba wouldn't exist.

I'm sure typing 'help' at the telnet prompt was a real strain on Tridge's gray cells.

30% is just about the average in the Western world - nothing special about this particular group in this regard. It's a severely under appreciated problem when you consider the immense cost in DALY or YLD.

Unfortunately, fair use claims are judged on a case-by-case basis. Even if Google prevails on this issue, API implementation will be too risky for individual programmers or small companies to undertake.

Only the ones for whom a range check is the peak of skill.

Sure, the Wikipedia article provides an adequate discussion of fructose metabolism.

More or less, although it's a bit more complicated due to how sugar molecules are transported in different cell types (as discussed in the above link). However, most commercial HFCS compositions have more fructose than glucose, which can lead to excess Krebs cycle intermediates that are in turn directed to fatty acid metabolism (via acetyl-CoA).

Unfortunately, when it comes to nutrition, "everyone" has fallen for a mixture of quackery and old wives' tales. Case in point: your conflation of simple sugars and complex carbohydrates, which ignores the excessive animal protein and extraordinary dearth of fiber currently consumed in Western diets.

Table sugar is 100% sucrose, a disaccharide consisting of one glucose and one fructose molecule covalently bound together. HFCS is a mixture of glucose and fructose as monosaccharides (individual sugar molecules). Multiple HFCS compositions exist commercially.

Just let the EFF compute the entropy in your browser fingerprint for ya.

What a dumb remark. The prediction, that the Triple Crown is an unlikely event, is correct. That this outcome happened to occur in our timeline is neither here nor there.

Using BarTab Heavy and the other BarTab addons to load and unload tabs in the background makes a huge difference to performance. So does using uBlock Origin instead of ABP. (And NoScript of course).
