Without all the modern technology, including bio-medical, how many people would be dying each year? You are looking at the cost to an individual, but society doesn't work that way.
We are unquestionably better off with the technology we have, by all reasonable measures. The technology was and is enabled by cheap energy.
Can you actually name a system that at one point stopped shipping telnet by default, replacing it with SSH? OpenBSD does not count, because that kind of change is exactly why OpenBSD exists, and its users would not have been surprised by it.
How about a statement from your doctor that you're fit to converse with other people? The "Linux core developers", whoever they are, aren't responsible for systemd, and have no say in its development. They can voice opinions, just like all the idiots here on Slashdot, but they have no vote or control.
In what way is VB not a full dialect? It supports everything the older BASICs supported, and then some. The last version I used (5 or 6) still supported the LET keyword.
If you don't know anything, reading a bunch of code won't teach you to recognize bad code. You have to have some criterion upon which to measure the quality. Even reading a bunch of other people's ideas of what bad code is only goes so far. If you don't know how to write code, and if you have little experience doing so, you won't be able to place other people's ideas into context.
e.g. reading the statement that "GOTO is harmful" doesn't really help anyone get better at coding. On the other hand, if you've written a 300 line program without the benefit of subroutines, you'll instinctively understand that statement, if you haven't already figured it out for yourself.
I worked for a Fortune-100 (not sure its exact rank, but pretty close), and I wasn't allowed to work more than 40 a week. If you work for a shit company, it's really your own fault.
If you are astonished by the fact that people use Facebook, you should really just scrape your face off with a rusty razor. After all, you've already admitted that you're devoid of any knowledge or understanding of people, so there's really no point to you living. Or at least, you have no one who will miss you, so you may as well provide entertainment for the rest of us.
Name one patent Apple has sued over which they have never used in a product. Please refrain from breathing while you perform the search. Keep searching until you find one.
yet the FCC prevents people from even studying how that could work.
That statement is 100% false.
You are an ignorant shit-face who deserves to be in solitary confinement for the rest of your worthless life. Let's see how you like it when some prison official decides you have no rights at all.
Why should we? Is there something about future living things that make it imperative that they survive? Is there a particular reason I should care if humanity goes extinct after I die? An uncaring position is selfish, but it's also completely rational. There is no reason for anyone to suffer privation solely to allow future lives to exist.
That's not really fair. Outside of the mainframe world, no one expects infinite backwards compatibility. Especially as the hardware architecture changes, you have to expect the oldest support to be dropped. 16-bit, real mode x86 just doesn't play well in 64-bit land.

The Alps aren't in Africa. Slavery is illegal in Switzerland.
I drive a 2015 Attrage (company lease), and BT works perfectly. I believe it's standard with this model, but not positive.
Who checks Yelp for available apartment rentals?

Telnet and ssh are different programs, you incomprehensibly stupid piece of shit. I know you're a troll, because only a troll could be so stupid.
Really? No other way? So screen working for all these decades has been happy coincidence?

Argentina. 'nuff said.
It's a shame we no longer have gladiator sports. It would be wonderful to watch people like you torn to shreds by half-starved lions.

If we are fortunate, you will die before then. Unreasonable hatred is not something we wish to encourage or foster.
How, precisely, does this remind us?

In what way are you nerd, as opposed to a sanctimonious asshole?
Considering the original iPhone was released in 2007, I am having a bit of trouble with your claim.
My Macbook Pro is a company laptop. I use it for work. That would make me a professional user.
There's a reason why the function keys default to not acting as function keys (changeable in System Preferences).
I very rarely use any function keys except for the 3 volume controls. Certainly nothing I have to touch type. I suspect you don't use Mac OS X.
