    Yeah ... Bjarne is a moron and you are a fucking genius. Do you have no self respect? You seem to thrive on broadcasting to the world how clueless you are. First you say languages don't matter, then you say Bjarne Stroustrop is a moron. You couldn't sound like more of a willfull idiot if you were fuckface von clownstick's doppelganger.

    One can only assume you have never developed a professional grade piece of software in your life. Nobody with a modicum of competence in software development would claim that the language choice you make is anything other than the most important decision to be made when embarking upon a development effort. Next you'll be saying it doesn't matter if you use git or RCS.

    You mean vim of course. vi is a horrible editor often confused with vim since most distros have a soft link from /bin/vi to /bin/vim

    Repos have been around for quite some time. A "software center" is just a GUI interface to the repo tools, be it apt, dnf, or what have you. Such interfaces have been around for more than a decade and they are there for people like you who don't understand how Linux packaging systems work. You should be grateful they exist, and it is absurd of you to complain about them.

    Actually you need to know what you are doing and then you can do so quite easily. Your incompetence is not a bug. They can't patch your cluelessness I'm afraid.

    Linux is not moving away from the "always trust root" model in any manner, way, shape or form. I would love to hear your explanation of how you formed this ridiculous idea in your head. SELinux isn't new, but it sounds like you don't know about the various auth tools that have been available for at least a decade.

    Actually vim (or emacs), git, cscope, and a plethora of other tools such as find and grep, combined with a strong ability to use the command line is a far superior IDE to visual studio. If you are a truly skilled developer you would *never* use garbage like Visual Studio.

    There is no such thing as a UEFI BIOS. Perhaps you are referring to UEFI CSM (Compatibility Support Module.)

    The word "boob" isn't a verb, so the word sequence "We Boob" makes zero sense. This is a perfect example of why these idiots should be not just ignored, but actively shun. Nobody in their right mind sees "weboob" and takes offense, and it is a sad day when they didn't simply immediately reply to the complaintant that they sound stupid making such a ridiculous complaint.

    Let's not be so dramatic. A lot of people would not consider presenting ads relevant to their location rather than ads for services unavailable to them in their location "using the information against them." I'm not a Facebook fan, but acting like locale appropriate ads are an assault is a bit over the top.

    Facebook knows where she lives. Did she really think that it would forget just because she isn't being tracked currently? If she goes on vacation elsewhere and FB starts sending ads tied to that location let us know, but her "proof" that they are still tracking her is not proof at all.

  23. knowing how it works is nice, but not necessary on Researchers Make RAM From a Phase Change We Don't Entirely Understand (arstechnica.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Every day we use things that work despite the fact that we, as individuals don't know how or why they work. In most cases someone knows how, but quite often we find out later that it doesn't work the way that person or group of people thought it worked. For example the brain works somehow, but nobody really knows how, despite the fact that we learn more and more about it as we go. So it is nice to understand how things work, but what is really important is that it actually works. I am if course not including Trump and his Trumptards, who clearly are the exception that proves the rule :-)
