Would you get letters after your name, like nurses get RN? "Joe Blow, RTFA." Seriously, I bet it would feel just like being a literary critic, but without the groupies.
"The government" is led by individuals whose election campaigns are supported by large corporations, and by the private individuals affiliated with those corporations. As we Americans continue to mistake capitalism for freedom, the line between our government and private industry continues to blur.
GMO-related concerns aren't "nonsense." You might want to do a little research on that topic before you go spouting off about it. For starters, watch this documentary:

Then, read this (enjoyable) book:

Beyond the immediate (human lifespan) health concerns, there are patent nightmares aplenty. GMO plants are treated as IP. Seed from the GMO plants contaminates traditional farms, the farmers are sued by large companies like Monsanto, and the farmers are forced to destroy any saved seed as part of the eventual settlement. As a result, we're losing biodiversity at a shit-your-pants rate. If a slate-wiper disease strikes zea mays, we've got a real problem.
The health concerns are real. It's not that eating some GMO canola oil will kill you; it's that almost all of our food is derived from the same few plants, and "minor" changes to the plants can have major effects on us. Further, we have the insane situation in the U.S. that GMO foods don't even have to be labeled as such. Most of us are stuck either paying through the nose for pseudo-organic and heirloom foods, or else eating... whatever the corporations feed us.
How do you create such hard links? (Or, for that matter, symbolic links?) One of the many things I find frustrating when using Windows is the inability to cd through a.lnk file. Do the hard links work across filesystems?
Are these "sectors" in the sense of traditional disks, with "tracks" as well? I've used flash storage only for embedded work, and I get confused every time someone refers to a "flash disk." Are these solid-state devices emulating spinning disks, for purposes of OS compatibility? Flash in the embedded world is just a flat memory map, with JFFS2 (or whatever) handling the wear-leveling, etc.
I still use Thunderbird, for lack of better alternatives, but it's certainly got some bugs. It seems to have some trouble remembering that particular messages have already been read, especially on Usenet. Opera's worse.

It's "used by default in most linux distros?" When did that happen? I've never seen it as the default, and it certainly wouldn't be my first choice.

IME, most adults do not have fully formed opinions, and cannot distinguish content/information from pure garbage.
Did it work out of the box? Which Slack are you running? Is this newish or oldish hardware?

IANAS, but I'm guessing this is what the pros call an "outlier."
Well, duh. The SUV would go down hard, resource-hungry behemoth that it is. :)
