Most probably spoken by someone who suffers from RSI - then bane of long time computer users. Mouse is the first thing you should stop using to avoid getting RSI.

In India, for $20 you can easily get 2 months of unlimited internet, and for vast majority of population, $20 is more than a whole day's wage. Almost everyone pirates software here because most of it is not affordable even for upper middle class family.

Personally, I have read biographies of Gandhi** by multiple authors and I have read history of India also by multiple authors, and in my opinion, the article is a propaganda for Dalits against Gandhi.

** Gandhi is the correct spelling. Ghandi is plain wrong.

Headline is correct. Apostrophe for plural words should be after the word is over.

Airlines should reduce velocity by 10% - and voila - no drag (10^2 = 100).

This is probably how a phone call would proceed on a Google phone:

Did you mean 9545-1212 ?

LOL, when has RMS *ever* been 'polite'?

Love him or hate him, RMS says exactly what he believes, always, and he applies his beliefs with *brutal* consistency (and I admire that last bit even when I don't agree with him).

No, RMS could never 'come to power' simply because he doesn't know how to lie like a politician.

It is true that the Norse colonised Greenland around 1000 CE, and failed around 1300 CE. If this is meant to imply that, at that time, Greenland must have been much warmer than it is today, or that the little ice age marked a dramatic drop in temperatures, it's misleading. The reality is that there were only 2 Norse settlements in Greenland, located in fjords on Greenland's west coast. The areas of both those settlements are quite green and hospitable today, and there are several farms there now (Eastern settlment area, and Eastern settlment map; Western settlment area, and Western settlement map. Just for reference, here is a zoom of the area of the Brattahlid and Gardar farms (two of the largest/richest farms), and a zoom of the Sandnes farm area from the Western settlment), so Greenland need not have been any warmer than today to have provided the Norse with sustainable settlements. Further the archaeological evidence from the sites implies the Norse hardly had an easy life: Greenland cows were the smallest ever known, largely due to malnutrition, and it seems the cows and sheep may have had to be force fed seaweed over the winter to keep them alive -- and this was pre the little ice age. The Norse also tended to rely on trips to the Eastern Canadian coast, most likely the Labrador area, for many things, most particularly wood. Read Collapse by Jared Diamond for a good account of the settlement and decline of Greenland colonies. Climate was a factor, but one among many, and it didn't require much of a shift since the colonies were already in the brink due to other factors.
