Our experience here in Portugal shows that there is much to be gained from decriminalization, even if it's far from the optimal solution. The data shows there is less social stigma, more people getting treatment, less AIDS/HIV infections and reduced drug usage amongst young people.
I'm not saying that we should be satisfied with decriminalization, but it's still a step in the right direction.
I said I know him. I never said I "hang out" with him.
In any case, the point of telling the tidbit of my life is that on average, amateurs do have less proficiency than professionals, because imbeciles are aplenty.
The only time the regular gun-carrier I know uses his gun is to shoot live ammo to the air (and he lives in a city, not in the boonies) during new year's eve.
It doesn't matter if the translation happens after tokenization. A 'variable' token won't be the same as a 'keyword' token even if they have the same name.
However, there is this nagging feeling to me at least that the narrative feels built around the portal game mechanic, rather than the other way around. I think Valve succeeded wildly in telling a story with Portal as well as Portal 2, but it's clear where they started.
But that's how it should be! It's what makes it feel a game with a great story rather than a movie with annoying interactive interludes.
I heard the Walking Dead video game series (released as episodes) is a good recent example of interactive fiction, with the story being shaped by your decisions.
I've only played a couple of minutes, but it seemed decent.
Portal is set in the same universe as HL, but you can only tell by small references here and there (like in the Still Alive song). It could set it in a completely different universe without changing almost anything: all the characters, sets and gameplay are original.

I frankly don't get why do people claim that Google is now turning evil.
Googe was founded in '98. In 2003, just five years after, and almost a decade from now, they created AdSense and started tracking people using cookies. And now they're suddenly evil? It makes no sense.
On the other hand, they're still doing good stuff - paying Mozilla, offering FOSS tools (and keeping private forks closed, but again, they always did), campaigning against SOPA, etc.
I'm not claiming they are or not evil - I frankly find that irrelevant. But they haven't really changed, so I don't see how can people claim they turned evil. Either they aren't or they've been for many years now.
That is nonsense. There are many many commercial works (full length movies) available on YouTube, which were not removed using "state-of-the-art recognition technology" (which is broken).
The fact that it's far from perfect doesn't make it "nonsense". It blocks a whole lot of stuff and it pays off ad money to many companies.
Also, those movies might just not have been submitted to their program. The system can't exactly match against thin air.
Both YouTube and Megaupload took down links on request, since that's what LAW REQUIRES them to do.
I never claimed otherwise. GP's question was whether Google was more responsive, and that's obviously true - they give out a lot more tools and benefits to media companies than MU ever did.
Both of them also provided direct access to content owners, so they could delete files immediately without a need to submit DMCA request. Law doesn't require them to do that, yet they did it.
MU's system didn't delete files, it deleted links.

Firmware != drivers. And where exactly can one download Intel's open source firmware?
Its funny that in a post criticizing the critics of religion, you call all Christians, Jews and Muslims "zealots".

Nope, valid ASCII is also valid UTF-8.
Sure, but decriminalization has plenty of advantages and it's an easier policy to "sell".
Considering there are ads on Google for pornographic websites, I find it very hard to believe that they refused it out of their own moral sense.

How will you know you are really dead?

In theory, a quadcore should be able to last longer on a single charge, because it can power down the extra cores when it doesn't need them.
Of course, this assumes that each core uses less energy than a single-core CPU.

"The Mitrokhin Archive" is not a book. If you mean the book written by C. Andrew from those notes, here:

Meanwhile, the original Counter-Strike (released in 1999) is still the 4th most played game on Steam nowadays. So much for interest falling off.

The books vs internet dichotomy is false. You can read books on the internet.
Heilein said settled, not solve. The quote you gave isn't a rebuttal to GP.
And I fail to see where I claimed it was better.
Bloated? Hardly. Its memory usage has been dropping consistently on stable versions: https://areweslimyet.com/
