How do your blind friends use Linux console or even edit shell files?

Because it's pointless? What's the user base of Linux desktop? Retired grandpas and blind persons surfing website or deaf persons making music?

The biggest problem with Linux desktop systems is that those developers either don't care or get confused about what their user bases are. Accessibility would make no sense at all to grid administrators, 3D graphics makers or programmers.

We could save them all by farming rhinos, elephants and gorillas for food!

Nope it doesn't. It only increases your frustration and complaint at coding because common industry languages such as COBOL and Java are so fucked up beyond hope. Every time you write them you feel the rage to stab their creators a thousand times and send their heads off to IS.

It's retarded to even think there is some general skill in animals or anything.

Either you program sandwich making directly or you program its artificial desire to eat and the ability to taste, rank, and make food out of raw materials, and give it some time to learn to make an eatable sandwich.

It's supposed to learn and do things the way people find best. So it's just a matter of time before we deprecate most humans since we cannot improve our thought process or upgrade our brain speed.

But you still have to repeat the same encryption/decryption enough times to detect anything close. It might be easily defended by simple and random obfuscation to make the detection much more difficult (ex: running multiple encryption/decryption by different keys at the same time), or moving the entire code into GPU, where operations are asynchronous and timing cannot be accurate.

There are hardware locks on them now.

Even if they open-source half of the spec, open-source graphic drivers are still unusable unless you simply don't need hardware acceleration, which is the whole point of buying these cards.

If you value open-source more than the quality of the cards themselves, you're not the types of customers who need their graphics card and they need not care about what you think. People who really need those cards always want 100+% of performance and that could only come with official drivers.

Which makes chess competition rather pointless. It's like a bunch of retarded kids playing math games.

Nope streams only offers the lambda, not expression (= half-compiled code which may be translated into SQL and XML and many other uses), and it's NOT compatible with existing iterable/collection APIs which means its use is very inconvenient and limited. If you really want to use those features you have to try my library jxtn.core.axi which modifies system interfaces to add such functionality.

The expression stuff can be done by runtime bytecode analysis (not officially), i.e. reverting your bytecode back into expression and then rewriting it. The tech is just out of research last year and has been only used in Jinq, and it requires JVM bytecode - so not possible in dalvik or pre-compiled situation.

That's why Internet porns are so popular.

Free food are the worst because that means you have to eat what everyone else eat. That's F*** communism!

If you're paid better you can afford your own food in nice restaurants and plenty of wine at work, and most importantly much better monitors than other people (nobody gives 27" VA or IPS at work!)

an Windows driver emulation layer would benefit a lot.

Selling coffins would be more appropriate.

They make money from enterprise.

Your copy of Windows serves nothing more than advertisement for them, to remind you that Windows is the computer OS.
