You are a moron. A truly fucked-up, head-up-the-ass-into-his-colon idiot. And you're stupid.
1) It may not be my blog "engine". 2) Fixing messed up formatting of any C-based language is a keystroke away, so we don't have to waste time making sure some random blog or forum software won't mess it up when it's copy and pasted on any of several OS's or desktop environments.
Using your brain instead of the computer is stupid. That's why we invented computers: to automate and remove the drudgery of manual/mental labor.
The purpose of braces are two-fold: let the compiler know what's going on and let the reader know what's going on. It takes no thought at all from the programmer and only needs to be done once. The intent can't be messed up by any of the zillion transmission methods, including, but not limited to, email, web forums, or differences in editors or editor settings. Pretty formatting is a key-stroke away on any code editor worthy of the name, and many will auto-indent code as it's pasted in.
On the flip-side, you have Python, where any of the above transmission methods, plus a whole lot more, can cause the original indentation to be lost. On top of that, the editor cannot infer semantics when code is pasted in, so the programmer needs to analyze the surrounding code and make sure the indentation of the pasted code is correct. In other words, there's no way to automate. Any time you have the developer doing work the computer could have done, you're doing it wrong. The entire purpose of a computer is to automate tasks. (And provide video game entertainment, of course.)
Communism is shared ownership of resources. It has nothing to do with who is making the decisions, though there is an assumption that each owner has a say.
Free/Open Source software is fairly close. Each contributor owns his piece. Some projects require copyright assignment, and those have no Communistic features.
If all, or even most, tech companies trained employees instead of requiring college degrees, they could pay those people less. If those people leave, who cares? Just pick up someone trained by some other company instead. The point is that it doesn't take long to train an employee at most tech jobs, it's significantly cheaper than college and the costs to the company are recouped by lower salaries. It should be a big win for everyone except the poor universities.
Except that 1) MS extended XP's lifetime several times, and 2) Google support means nothing if both your device manufacture and carrier are not on board. (Unless yours is unlocked, in which you only need your manufacturer.)
I'm going to take "non-technical people" and assume that means people who don't care about the kernel. And then I'll tell you that the version the number of the kernel is irrelevant because non-technical people don't even know what it is. They might know which distribution they're using. Maybe.
RDP is actually usable over bad ADSL connections. With real, modern programs. X is barely usable over such a connection unless you're using a Motiff app from 20 years ago.
Program Information File. Used by Windows 3.x to control the DOS VM for running DOS programs in Windows. I believe they were also used by Windows 9x, but were much obscured by the UI.
You are a retarded idiot. The author states right at the beginning of the article that he's focusing on x86. In the (late) 80s, most people had an IBM PC, if they had anything.
Jews have never fought wars to convert a populace. All the wars in Deuteronomy are over revenge or simply territory. Such was life in the ANE. The ancient Jews were nomads who wanted to settle. Whether an escape from Egypt ever happened or not is irrelevant.
That is an invalid complaint to lay at Objective-C's feet. Objective-C is designed, even now, to be a strict super-set of C. There is no way to overload operators in such a context and still maintain compatibility with C.
I was using the same NT 4 install as a native boot and under VMWare, under the original VMWare beta. Back before it was Workstation, back before Player or any of the server products existed. Back when you had to build the kernel modules by hand after tweaking the kernel. Back when the only VMware version available outside the company was for Linux. Back before OS X was released.
The shift key is, hands-down, the one aspect of iOS 7 (and 8) that annoys me more than anything.
On the bright side, iOS 8 borrows the suggestion feature from Android, and that makes getting the correct word much easier and faster. It will even try to help with typos and will suggest common phrases.
Being an un-funny ass must be really hard work these days. If we were to apply the oh-so-humorous ^W's in your post, it would read That's why you should stick with Apple. With an iPhone you can get the same effect simply wrong. Which, as we can see, makes no sense at all.

If physics doesn't allow for it, it doesn't allow for it anywhere. It doesn't matter how large the Universe happens to be.

Samsung is not an American company. Even assuming your rant made the slightest bit of sense, why the fuck would Samsung care about American jobs?

You don't believe that the State has a right to prevent you from harming me?

Wow. Way to totally misunderstand everything.
X11(R6) is a protocol.
XFree86 and XOrg are implementations.

The other posts were, in fact, made later, but someone was messing around with the HPET timer and, well, bugs.
Copyright does not require disclosure. If that were so, significantly more source code would be available for perusal.
No one uses thunderbolt for mice.
Obviously you didn't read it either.

Stop living in 2009.
An unlocked 6 from Apple cost $649. If you want to throw away $250 buying on Amazon, feel free.
I have a work-provided 16GB 5s, which I use all the time. I am currently sitting at 7GB used, 5.8GB free.
I don't feel at all constrained.
