I don't even see code anymore. All I see is Blond, Brunette, Redhead ...

Bing is a better porn search engine anyway.

That argument would hold more water when talking about TPB if TPB actually hosted links to non-pirated material.

Megaupload and the various services like that store, and share if they wish, whatever its users put up on it, but TPB always was just for the exchange of pirate material.

Except Taiwan really is China, whereas the US has not been a colony for over 200 years.

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC; Chinese: äèæ'åoe; pinyin: ZhÅnghuà MÃnguÃ), is a state in East Asia.

Not that you couldn't change the development process to work that way (Solaris was a little more like this) but it is a non-trivial change to the workflow. It's not something that could be done on a whim.

"New PC with x86-64" You missed a word there - fast. Is the Core 2 fast enough or do you need a i5 or an i7? Does it have to be an Intel processor or will a recent AMD work? I don't know, but I do see that the supposedly user friendly and entry Linux desktop distos assume that you bought your desktop or laptop in the last 6 months and I would guess most people looking to switch or try something new don't buy a new computer to do it on.

It's about the web hosting system that lets casual visitors look at the pretty pictures

Functions which are important to the project.

whereas other countries have realized that red/yellow/blue works just as well and color-blind people aren't having to guess what color the lights are

What other countries use blue instead of green?

Australia doesn't seem to care for Freedom of Speech, so I doubt that is a really big issue to them.
