Most of these UN yakkity-yah are load of hogwash. Take their human rights thingamaggie for example. Not worth the sandwiches they fed the clowns sitting in the meetings.
Do you seriously think CIA/NSA will stop spying because UN passed something or other? Would any self-respecting country give up endeavors in what she considers in their national security interest because of a "UN resolution"?
Reading 6502 assembly is easier than reading some of today's bloated and convoluted Java/Perl/FP/what-have-you code. It's not like the assemblies of modern CPUs with OOE, branch predictions, and all such complexities.
Also, from a technical perspective, publishing source for 6502 machine code wasn't that big a deal. You could recreate a reasonable assembly source from the machine code by spending some time with reverse assembler (unless the code does goofy things like writing over its code and such). In fact, Apple II monitor code had a nifty reverse assembler built in.
Well, that really is the main point of the question, isn't it. I would have thought fewer idiots use slackware, but the replies above suggest otherwise.
Nothing personal to you AC, and good that you're doing well here. But a large number of capable foreign students, some of world's best and brightest, come here on their own and graduate from our reputable schools, are already here and familiar with the land, and want to work and live here. When we are failing to accommodate these people, the industry's clamor for more H1B is utter nonsense - it serves the industry's aim to suppress wage rather than attracting talent to America.
Dump H1B. Instead of giving out Visa for foreign nationals, we should try to KEEP foreign graduates in this country - make it easier for foreign students graduating from US colleges to live and work in the US.
This is no brainer - many of the best and brightest from all over the world are already here in our universities.

Nuh-uh.

You kids need to wise up.
"Neuroscience" is psychology with a new branding, the same old quackery.
Throw in PET scan machine and it suddenly becomes a "science"? Bunch of clowns.
Maybe "timothy" is a Turk, but I don't mean to insult the Turks (mechanical or otherwise).
Anyways, the neutrinos are likely from distance sources, so no indirect confirmation of dark matter, eh?
Any way related to geos(?), the GUI OS for Commodore?
Yeah, funerals after all are for the living, not the dead.
Tell us about it. What do you cook up with Arduino kits, and how do you use them?
Now double our budget so we can counter them. And yeah, pass some laws against these terrorists.
You dump it if it sucks and you don't need it or you have an alternative.
Word the question differently to get more useful replies.

"chair of the National Society's Executive Committee", eh?

Slackware still uses tarball packaging?
Drive the parent AC troll into the ground.
What do you want, a blowjob?

This is the best story/discussion topic in a long while here on slashdot. I hope many chime in with their serious thoughts.
Psychology under a new branding, yeah that pseudo science quackery.
Agree/disagree with what he writes/says, but why do you have to trust him? Is he dating your daughter?
Is that right? Well, that's different then.
Whose money is backing these experiments?
Yeah, sounds like some race warriors trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Is this for real? Hollywood produced plenty of Italian American superstars, as well as Latinos. How did Bollywood manage?
"If you are unfamiliar", it says.
