That's something nobody's going to copy. </sarcasm>

If HUE represents laughter, then in which language does "LOL" sound like "LIGHTNESSLIGHTNESS" or "SATURATIONSATURATION"?

I don't know; I didn't attend, and the videos on Apple's page require the purchase of a Mac or iOS device to view. "System Requirements: To watch the streaming version of this video, use the latest version of Safari on a Mac running OS X Lion or later. Alternatively, you can watch this video in the WWDC app". Without any other information, my guess is that kids are programming applications for OS X, as unlike iOS application development, OS X application development doesn't require an ongoing subscription. Other results that Google dug up deal with parental control for in-app purchases. Could you explain further?

It's not the race as much as the culture. A culture that doesn't value honest dealings with outsiders will produce crooks. I lack the experience to name any names, so is there anything specific in the culture of India or the Jewish diaspora that might produce such dishonesty?

What's "difficult" is finding "a computer with a single mechanical hard disk drive" that stays that way for long. Desktops tend to have internal optical drives, laptops often have an internal SSD or internal or external optical drives, and both tend to often get small SSDs plugged into them.

Some people have a "Homepage" link at the top of each of their posts that points to old-media contact info.

Yeah, the antivirus.

Is a single-threaded file system still practical on multi-spindle PCs? These include machines with a boot SSD and a data HDD, or a boot HDD and an optical drive, or a boot HDD and an external USB SSD used for sneakernetting files too big for the available Internet connection. And by "desktop" did you mean to exclude laptops?

Is it closer to "fryer"? (Slashdot's Unicode code point whitelist unfortunately doesn't include IPA.)

They have to use "Vrije" because it was discovered that not only is the name of "Free University Compiler Kit" obscene, but it's also misleading: the software is non-free.

If you suggest withdrawing from Berne, expect complaints from export industries even other than entertainment. Withdrawal from Berne implies withdrawal from the WTO, and countries are likely to impose prohibitive import tariffs across the board on non-WTO members.

So by indie you appear to mean relying exclusively on sideloading for deployment as opposed to a download store with multiple developers' software, even the one run by the hardware manufacturer. Then let me restate my previous comment to confirm to your definition:

Sometimes you have to become not indie just to get a game published. I'm told that only a commercially insignificant number of people have machines that 1. are connected to a monitor big enough for couch multiplayer and 2. can run sideloaded software. Retail consoles can't do the latter, and I've read that gaming HTPCs are virtually nonexistent.

I'm not sure what sort of hyperbole you mean by "nobody", but I still see same-screen multiplayer in households in my sample set.

That's true in the same technical sense that Denys Vlasenko sues violators of the BusyBox license not for "GPL violation" but instead for copyright infringement. If the only way to program without a license is to violate Title 17, then in practice that's the same thing as banning "programming without a license".

One of the rules at the time was not to use hardware that was still being produced. The fat PS3 had been discontinued in favor of a new model without Other OS support. Assuming hypothetically that George Hotz had not exposed PS3 flaws to give Sony cause to disable Other OS in 3.21, where would one find a replacement for a fat PS3 console whose hardware had failed?

Only with the $99 certificate, and only if it hasn't expired. Otherwise, you're stuck with the simulator.
