Ironically enough I picked this name many years ago after a text bot (although not IRC).

Or maybe, as far as you know, I am that neglected IRC bot, after years of neural networking...

Meh, I've never really liked this way of thinking. What does Linux represent to you? To me it represents a culture of freedom to tinker, exploration, and self-development. None of those are compatible with ChromeOS. At that point, all we're really caring about is the label, that we can technically call what's underneath "Linux", and that's not really productive. At least with OS X, you can tap into those things, even if it's difficult and unwieldy (I got my start on OS X 10.6).

It wouldn't have been possible for Javascript because Javascript is not fast enough for that to ever make a profit. Relying on protection from malware by being that slow is like using Windows 98 on a 286 because it's too slow and too old to run any modern malware program. Not a very good method of security.

What makes this country better then all the others?

Linux 4.11 was released last May. 4.14 is the version that's coming out today.

So important and valuable that nobody ever thought to scan them into Google Drive? And they weren't accessible either? These probably did contain interesting historical data, and it really sucks that they're gone, but what did we (the public) lose? We never had anything to begin with :/

I used an RSS Reader to grab all of the headlines in the news, then used crashme to generate random code and then automatically publish on Twitter. Apparently made it to president of USA...

Darwin is not based on the FreeBSD Kernel, Darwin is based on the Mach kernel. Darwin uses a FreeBSD Userland though.

A lot of people would say that about the baby boomer generation, wouldn't they? After all, she is one.

This is such an idiotic thing. Believe it or not, universities are no different then any other organization. If I go to your business, and you call me a faggot for supporting the idea that the holocaust exists and that sexual assault is bad, you better believe I'm reporting you to your boss, and you better believe your boss has the right to fire you. I don't see why a university is any different; if you espouse the same thing, they should have the right not to let you on their campus. If you disagree with that, that I would like to let you know in advance I am booking a ticket to your house and will proceed to come over whenever you are home, so that I can tell you about how the moon landing was faked. After all, you can't force me outside your house, because that would be limiting my free speech, yes?

If "right wing" is "mocking the holocaust and sexual assault victims", then sure, let's only have left wing expression (amazingly ignoring that "left" is a political theory, and I'm not sure how this even remotely qualifies as political theory). There was a time when men were expected to be gentlemen, and you would most definitely be ostracised if you mocked a holocaust survivor; so I'm not sure how that fits into your world narrative.

Mmm, it was. Fortunately, the days where a man was allowed by law to beat his wife twice per month are behind us.

Go to Nigeria sometime. Christians there have a death penalty for gay people,. use honor killings to murder rapees, and encourage execution of anyone who defiles the church. You better believe Christians still do that shit, and I am amazed at how myopic they are to their own sins.

I think it's the reverse, actually. Android has both a much larger userbase and supports Blink, Opera's native web engine. In contrast, iOS only supports Apple's version of WebKit. Why would Opera want their programmers working for a smaller userbase that would require more work to achieve less functionality?

Multiple warnings over several years, and the UK government never acted on them. So now, rather than admit they were incompetent or not funding their human agents enough, they're going to cut off free speech online? Congratulations Britain, you have the dubious honor of being the second country in the world to fall to terrorism.
