Here's the thing: I don't mind hearing Merry Christmas (but I slowly start to DO mind hearing "Last Christmas". C'mon. George is dead, let the song follow). You wish me a Merry Christmas, I'll probably reply in kind.
What bothers me is the asshats that get ballistic if you wish them "Happy Holidays". Who then berate you for wishing them well that "this is a christian nation".
NO. Fuck it, it's not. It's a secular nation. If you want to live in a theocracy, go to fucking Iran. And take a good look at the whole area to get an idea what it leads to if you base your laws on the power fantasies written down by bigoted barbarians millennia ago when it was a-ok to just bash someone's head in because he has the wrong imaginary friend.
The biggest joke here is that most of those you claim "adapted" don't even think evolution is real and instead prefer to believe that their imaginary friend poofed everything into existence with magic.
I honestly can't think of anyone still using DDE for anything. Compared to OLE it's clumsy and very, very badly supported. You'll have more comfort writing Windows GUI applications in C++ with Visual Studio than using DDE.
1) Yes, but only if you really are an unprivileged user. Whether you are is up to the PC-DOS mentioned in 18) and doesn't depend at all on whether you are actually unprivileged or not. And of course you cannot use it against other unprivileged users, based on their own definition of whether they are unprivileged or not.
2) New angry/offended groups are created automatically by the system (PC-DOS, see above) based on necessity or whim.
Politically correct linux is now finally a reality. The changes are subtle but very important.
1) man pages are now person pages. 2) Due to complaints from allergic people, cat has been replaced by hypoallergenic_domestic_animal. 3) "yes" is a relic from the times men dominated IT and thought that the only way a woman could reply was in the positive, so it has been complemented with a "no" command. 4) -f(orce) has been removed from all programs to ensure no program can be made do things it does not want to do by itself. 5) The gender biased "mail" command has been replaced by "gender". And you can have as many copies of it as you please, as well as create your own and enforce their use. 6) The "touch" command was removed, due to recent events concerning its use in certain management circles. 7) "unzip" has been removed as well, for similar reasons. 8) "more", being a relic from the Reagan-era'esque thinking of amassing wealth being the only goal in life, has been completely removed. People are encouraged to use the more environmentally friendly "less". 9) LaTex has been removed by the biodegradable KleeNex. 10) Due to causing stress and anxiety with people, "kill" has been replaced by the more agreeable "euthanize". Prior consent of tasks for it to be used on them is required and strictly observed. 11) The "nice" command has been frequently used by users of the privileged class to grant themselves more resources. Unprivileged users and those that think they are can now use the "sue" command to achieve the same. 12) history has been completely rewritten and is now herstory 13) "quota" is now strictly enforced, whether the resources warrant it or not, whether the tasks actually require the allotted resources or not and whether it makes sense or not. 14) abort() is now choice() 15) daemons are now spiritual guides 16) X Window is now NC-17 Window 17) Terminals with limited capabilities are no longer to be called dumb terminals. All terminals are considered equally valuable and some of them are special. 18) root and its wheel oligarchy have been ousted. Instead we implemented the People's Committee for Democratic Organisation of Systems (PC-DOS). Everyone is allowed to do everything and expected to take only what they need.
You will find these new guidelines and features very stimulating and you will agree that they are very useful, sensible and are going to increase our productivity. Or you're just a reactionary, sexist, racist pig!
He was made commissioner by Obama, but Trump made him chairman. At least according to the FCC.
So no, Obama did not put him into the position where he could make this decision. But clever wording, I have to give you that. It's actually true enough to not make people call you a liar but omits enough to make people think that Obama is to blame for this asshole being where he is.

Should've looked closer, there's a few senators old enough that there's some mold growing on them.
INTELLIGENT life, on the other hand, ...
You're off by about a factor of a million, but otherwise surprisingly accurate.
Sorry. MORE TIME than it took from ... In other words, first multicellular organisms came into existence less than a billion years ago.
I need more coffee.
A billion years still is a very, very long time. A billion years is less time than it took from single celled organism to humans.

I don't know, the three driving forces of humanity are greed, fear and greed.
Please don't tell me you use anything coming from MS Office as a trusted data source.
That's for managers so they can play with something and don't get in the way of working people.
So am I. I refuse to touch the atrocity that is C# for as long as I possibly can.
But it gets harder and harder with every incarnation of Visual Studio.
Please don't use the word microaggression, you hurt the self image of aggressions if you belittle them.

Stop tempting me!
OLE is about 25 years old. If you have to update your software because it's not able to do OLE, it's about fucking time!

I'm old, ok? That's a joke we told around the lab when I was still a student.
Now get offa my PCB!
Just wait 'til everyone who mortgaged their home to buy bitcoins has to pay that mortgage back, that should put some cheap houses into the market.
You can afford a car???
Look at Mr. Moneybags.
Why is the Linux army superior to the Windows army?
Because we can customize our Colonels, know how to protect Private Data and General Protection Fault is on the other team.
What do you get when you put an AI into an old scientific HP calculator?
An AI that talks like Yoda.

I know how to use the internet without Google, without Facebook, without Twitter.
How do I do it without an ISP?
Shill or stupid?
If he is a Jedi, I think it's time to execute Order 66.
