What's this obsession with American citizens? Someone talked a lot about morale recently here, does the morality suddenly lose its meaning when applied to somebody else than Americans?
If you have been hired as a consultant to fix a companies problems with their IT department and you have to turn to/. for help; Do you really feel that you are in the place to criticize another professionals competency?
Why not? Being a professional means that one knows and uses any appropriate means for achieving the goal. It's not like a philologist should never consult a dictionary, for example.
I bet if you download 707,307 random files from the Internet there would be "numerous" images which would classify as "child porn".
I guess the problem the prosecutors are having now is that the current number of "numerous" is something like 3, and they want to decrypt other drives as well, in a hope of finding more.
There is a contradiction, your comment is so long it does not fit on my screen, and yet you are claiming you are a lazy smart bastard!

Communism is actually not to be blamed here. I quite like communists, kind of in old Copenhagen's Christiania, I would not object to live in a commune. But I have born and lived in the Soviet Union and there was no trace of communism, ever (except on placards, of course). I guess the last communists were killed by Stalin some 50 years before.
Subsidizing the deployment of "clean" energy technologies which are not economically viable is a waste of both time and money
No problem, they will become viable as soon as other sources are depleted. And then we will start synthesizing oil for chemical plants from the windmill energy...
Calling into the kernel code every allocation / deallocation of dynamic memory is slow.
Yes it is, and no sane memory allocator is doing that, they all allocate memory from the OS in large chunks and then distribute it in-process as fast as they can. You are attacking a strawman. Anyway, this has nothing to do with GC, GC needs to allocate and deallocate memory as well.
C++ is now split into two factions; low-level C++ where you use it like C with classes, and high-level C++, where the language is treated like compiled javascript.
What you mean by "split"? The main advantage of C++ is that it provides so many levels and paradigmas that one can smoothly shift the code around at a large scale, either in space or time. This also allows for real refactoring of the code and introducing new conceptual levels "inside" the language.

It is well known for a long time already that each complex problem has a simple, elegant, wrong solution.

You know, nostalgia is not the same nowadays as it was back then.
