Everything is just a number. A Matroska movie is just a big number. But parts of the IPv6 address have meanings, some of them complex, albiet not really "inscrutable".:-)
Oh, I *am* illiterate. Albeit I'm a little bit less illiterate in Portuguese, Italian, English, Spanish, and German than in the other languages.;-)

In my case (divorced guy in my forties) it's to boink twentysomethings (std creepyness rules x/2+7 says I shouldn't boink under-25) and extract some extra hardness for the second and third rounds. No risk of prison for that.
This, for me, would be a lot of high-quality drugs and a lot of high-quality sex. So, let me get my blue pills, and count me in. I don't want to live to be 50 anyway...:-)
Number of BIOS updates I've ever installed on my computer: 0.
Number of BIOS updates I've knowingly installed on my computer (bear in mind, your vendor could have it pre-installed, the NSA could install it on transit to the store, the evil maid on the hotel could have installed it while you were at the pool, etc)
Number of processes from the BIOS still running after the boot process finished: 0.
Number of processes from the BIOS that I know that are still running after the boot process finished (you don't think a spy process from the BIOS would be visible to your OS's pstools, do you?)
Batteries usually explode more (*) if you heat or short circuit them. Connecting a heating element to a battery seems like both to me. (*) more often, more espectacularly...
People are responding to you aggressively, I'll try another approach: in some urban regions down here, a marked police car (or even an unmarked suspicious car) is fired upon entrance. But a Google car mapping the region is at *less* risk of being shot, because mapping is considered a *good* thing by the poor communities (enables mail to get to the addresses, etc). However, if cops start using Google-marked cars for their surveillance, when organized crime lords have notice, they will fire upon all Google-marked cars. AND, as a collateral, the poorer regions will be forever worsely mapped. Got it?
YES. And their monies are better spend licensing content and PRODUCING the great content they are producing. So, geoblocking would be a lose-lose anyway.
How many "Thick server/ thin client" <--> "Thin server/ thick client" cycles in the last 30 years of computing? Four, five, maybe six? It would be interesting to determine the frequency, so we can always be prepared for the next wave... Anyway you can absolutely trust that in less then seven years you will be on the "thick server again", so you can polish your PL/pgSQL+PL/R when you see it coming.
Remembering: thick servers are much more efficient in terms of energy, heat and per-dollar-computing, but thick clients are much more interactive. Thick servers tend to centralize the data, which leads to sloppy crypto and security, which leads to "I want to keep all my data on my cabinet/table/person/skin? at all times", which leads to "where is the last backup", which leads to "oh, I'll just trust the cloud with this, because surely Google and Amazon replicate the data and keep timely backups" etc etc etc.
In a corner, with the car running, waiting for the boss to cross the street and be "accidentally" snuffed. "Oh, my $DEITY! I know this guy! He happens to be my boss! Someone call 911!"
True enough. In Admin 101 we learn that when you promote everyone that is good at his job, you end up with everyone at the position they suck the most... then you tank the entire firm because of that.
RAISE. If someone is good at their job, the right way of reward them is to raise their salary (you can even compute how much they contribute more to the earnings of the firm, and raise them accordingly), not to "promote" them. That is triply-true in tech companies, because middle management sucks, but BEING middle management sucks more (which probably is a reason why middle management sucks so much).
One? Try four (Bush, father and son; Harrison, grandfather and grandson; Roosevelt, fifth cousins; and Adams, father and son) The next one will be, too. Ah, and Chelsea is coming after that.:D
Well, down here (Brasil) you are actually half-wrong.
Their business model is derived solely from insufficiently insured cars
The insurance Uber cars have here is approximately the double of those the cabs have.
and misclassified workers
Yeah, the jury is still out on the whole "sharing economy" thing. I agree there is the potential to a whole lot of abuse; but I think work over-regulation is not without its maladies, too.
To services like Uber, a minimal inspection package is still too much. They prefer a special deal that makes them the taxi company.

Who give a toss about the speed?
Whomever wants to serve a lot of pages, for instance, without breaking the bank in the process?
8-bit spreadsheets used to present 40x22 or less... :-)

Can you realize that linguistics does not work the way you seem to want it to work? Just a hint.

I'M Not A Lawyer? seems really obvious
Yep. Every back door is an open door.
No need to reconcile, just imagine how many of those bugs lurk in closed systems like Windows, where no-one can see them.

Unix is exactly "the little Multics that could". In case, could run in cost-effective hardware.

You don't know that. For all we know, it's entirely possible to build machines which can think the way we do.
The problem is: why would we want to do this?
Because someone will do it, and if that someone isn't you, the competing intelligence will go after you and punish you?

DBI is stable, it just works. I have lots of headache in Every Single One of the database middleware. Except DBI.
Has Linus denounce DRM or something?
AFAICT, Linus is perfectly Ok with DRM. "we are not crusaders"...

I couldn't parse this, care to elaborate, please?
