I played only Crysis 3 and I quite liked it.

Religion is actually very usefull for people. You need to realize that god is a universal excuse. If something does not go well we can always "blame" god instead of figuring out why it did not go well. If we do something wrong we can believe that god will fix it for us and pardons us (possibly after a confession). Or we can claim the god actually wanted us to do wrong. It allows us to stay lazy instead of improving ourselves. God is also very usefull for people who cannot cope with uncertainties of reality. Moreover it allows the clever people to manipulate the rest. Yeah we (as a society) pretty much need a god. So sad!

Hardware and firmware? They proabably wanted to tell: "Our phones do not snoop at the hardware and firmware level. Anything at the higher levels is not our business."

Yes, it is a piece of junk.

I bet it depends on how heathy you will be from 37 to 73 :-)

Me too.

Did you just pull this out of thin air, or can you back it up with some facts?

If they used https then the url is encrypted. That means the search terms are not part of plain meta-data. It would be interesting to know whether they used http or https.

You may be right if you talk within one group of languages like e.g. procedural. But there is quite a difference between groups: (procedural, functional, logic), (strict, lazy), (pure, with side effects), (dynamically, or statically typed, or untyped), (static, lexical, dynamic scoping).

No, programming languages are not equal to each other. They can be very different. But I agree that tools are important.

Interesting.

A lot, any SATA drive is eSATA. You just need to add power to it trough a separate cable. They changed only the connector. The mistake was not adding power to the new connector. What a pity!

Or they are willing to suffer a bit now in an attempt to create a new market segment for open drivers. You could call them investors instead of morons. Also there are issues with reporting bugs when your kernel is tainted. This can be critical for some people. Maybe you can try to educate yourself about their motivation before calling them "morons".

I have no need of the hypothesis that there is a Creator. It explains everything, but predicts nothing.

4:3 (1280x1024) is common for 19" LCD. Newegg has a lot of them.

Probably not. About 65% of BTCs in use are owned by only 10,000 users. Why is it a Ponzi scheme?
