As far as I know, the total death toll during the 1400 years of Muslims attacking Hindus from the west is not far from reaching the insane mark of 100,000,000

Cite? That sounds like bullshit to me & can't find a credible source for it anywhere.

The funny thing is that the free-for-all process of article creation at Wikipedia ended up becoming by far and away better quality than the structured academic process that Nupedia set up.

Almost like the Cathedral and the Bazaar

Hopefully, I'll get bonus points for linking to Wikipedia 4 hours before it goes dark!

It took only six years for the greatest mobilization in world history to defeat the Axis.

Yes, well this time you don't have Russians doing the bulk of the dirty work for you.

I'm an experienced photographer.

But apparently not experienced enough to know the quality of the optics are as important as the sensor size & far more important than the ability to dump raw (unless you're planning on spending a lot of time on post-processing)

I believe they actually acquired the respective rights to all the photos.

Apple obtained permission from the photographer to use a copyrighted image, not permission from Gandhi's family to use his likeness to sell a product that he most likely would have been opposed to.

Hypocrisy. Again.

Hypocrisy.

Apple is guilty of the far more serious crime of having dead celebrities endorse their products in TV commercials.

The one-minute commercial featured black-and-white footage of 17 iconic 20th century personalities. In order of appearance they were: Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon (with Yoko Ono), Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso.

Typical Apple, talking the talk, without walking the walk. Again.

So if I'm a paranoid nut job, I'm supposed to trust a Chinese Lemote notebook not to spy on me?

Perhaps not, but you're likely going to trust it more than every other notebook. (which are all also built in China, and in addition contain non-free bioses, require non-free binary blobs running in kernel mode, etc, etc.)

Note also that Stallman may choose the yerloong notebook, so he is free to modify & improve drivers / bios / etc, rather than (or as well as) because he's paranoid about it spying on him.

For fucks sake - this is getting ridiculous. Just how many sock puppet accounts do you have?

Anyway, to drag my comment back on topic, you (plural) are misrepresenting Stallman's POV, perhaps out of ignorance, but more likely to troll. As a prime example:

Stallman absolutely is paranoid about everything. He doesn't use web browsers, for crying out loud,

You make it sound like Stallman doesn't use browsers out of paranoia, but Stallman himself says:

For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have no net connection much of the time.) To look at page I send mail to a demon which runs wget and mails the page back to me.
It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time.

Wow! Check out the number of really stupid grammatical & punctuation mistakes WMF made here.

What a fucking idiot (or perhaps still under the influence of various NYE delights)

Ives may have listed Rams as an influence, but Rams never ever put for before function.

I'ves did (or was pressured to)
