People who are qualified to modify or create code for the Linux kernel are going to be pretty damn good coders. If they weren't, well they wouldn't be contributing for long. So basically this is saying unpaid, good coders find jobs quickly because companies are completely fucking stupid.
Taxis? Certainly. There are differences regulations, but they are essentially both cars driven by someone for earning purposes and hailed on an demand basis. Neither a cab nor an uber will stop by my house on a scheduled basis if there is no incentive to do so.
Buses and trains, well those are meant for public consumption, not on demand consumption by individuals. The maximum utility is generated by adhering to a prescribed route and timetable. A bus or train set to the whims of an individual is wildly impractical.
I just don't give a shit enough to contribute. I already have hobbies. I get paid to administer, consult, develop, and test at work. Most of my hobbies do not involve computers (sports, reading, music, good ole fashioned napping). The few that do relate fairly closely to my line of work, which is largely closed source.
tl;dr - neither the time nor the willingness to contribute to something that only affects me tangentially
He can finally gt rid of that LG Optimus, assuming Dice pays him enough money to buy a new phone! (or he has enough money left over after paying them to be his personal blog).
Where the fuck are you going to see movies? Seriously I have no idea.
Are you going to a circle of hell that only caters to people who don't like movie theathers because almost nothing you've described accurately resembles a movie theater run in the last 50 years except maybe the price and cleanliness.
The least you can do is give us a ballpark location so we can look at a coverage map. Sprint or T-Mobile have have deals going with unlimited data.
Personally I'd go with Sprint, but I know their coverage can be spotty in certain places, though it has gotten a lot better since I signed up for it 5 years ago.
It's not really a direct competitor. The smart search answers have 3-4 sentences topically explaining something. Wikipedia has, almost always, exponentially more data.
'Smart search' is great for questions like "Who won the World Series in 1987" or "How many Grand Theft Auto games are there". It's not so great for "What is the plot of GTA V".
Google is so large and has such a massive need for talent that if you have the right skills, Google is really enthusiastic to hear from you
Well color me shocked. Is the army looking for people who can accurately fire rifles and follow orders? What about the FAA and air traffic controllers?
Whoever wrote that and whichever (copy) editor let it through need to reevaluate their life choices.
No I understand that, and the US model is not great shakes. Needs more municipal broadband.
That doesn't mean that Sweden's particular use-case is applicable to the US. It's roughly 5% of the lower 48 states. The economies of scale for distance blow the Swedish model out of the water.
2/3 of Sweden is empty. When you can concentrate your population in 1/3 of the country, the population density flies out the window:

The sheer distance makes it exponentially more difficult and expensive
Not if you look at the population density. It's mostly on the coast and in the south. 2/3 of the country is devoid of anything but Møøse and possibly squirrel
Well I will just say, like the others, that you do not know what you're talking about.
I installed win 7 on a few PIII netbooks with 768 MB RAM, with the typically office image. Worked fine.
I've used it on Dell D410s and D430s with 1 GB of RAM. Did absolutely everything I needed and wanted it to do.
Wow really? I can't remember a year of my life where I didn't experience sub zero temperatures and 100+ in the same year. There might be a few years where it was from 0-5 degrees or upper 90s, but that's pretty much the climate in most of the US Midwest region.
That is, unless you're outside the US. I'm not super familiar with laws in other countries, but I believe most require a defendant to provide the password.

That is not even a relevant reply. Try harder to fail

Not really. Their description in the summary is pretty spot on.
The ability to get a warrant "without providing specific details" and the person doesn't have to be within the court's jurisdiction.
That's, um, just as troubling as it sounds.
Do you know what a corporate VPN is?
I only ask because it does not seem like you know what a VPN is, let alone a corporate VPN.
Let me help you since you can apparently type out an entire summary but not the letters "google.com" into the address bar.

Not that I disagree with jettisoning him, but this is a stupid fucking idea.
Not since the early 90s. Find me a working Mosin for under $50. You won't be able to. Those things run several hundred dollars for the most part.
Eh I googled it and didn't bother to switch it. Beta is horrible though.
Now Bennett can finally find a phone that will let him buy a movie and download it directly to his phone!

Animal House was an awesome, irreverent movie that has stood the test of time and become one of *the* classic comedies.
Animal Farm is a dystpoian, allegorical novella about government overreach and oppression, which is what I think you're going after here.

You are using the wrong word. Hostile, yes. Unlivable, no. If it were, there would be a lot fewer people left in the US.

Some courts, not all. It varies by district. Most do not in the US.
