These are really interesting, and in analog very hard to find. Aaawatchclub has a few. Really hard to find. I never understood the whole "implied binary digit" thing. Notice they didn't do something as looney as divide the Martian time into two.
Ah, religion and politics. The atheist/libertarian geek is quite common. Some/. polls may have brought this up. I'd be very surprised to see more than a quarter theist in any way.
Copyright is a government mandated monopoly. Every time a copied cd or dvd is sold, open markets have scored a victory. Even though the vendors just want a buck, stories of bootleg copyrighted material are something to smile about.
Your thing on cliches was insightful. I was too late to comment though.
"Politically correct" IS thought policing.

Tossing the label "politically correct" is doing the same thing it's supposedly rebelling against. How much critical thinking does it take to blurt out "polticially correct"? Just like racist or sexist, it's a lazy word to discourage critical thinking.
General interest stories elicit more responses than new KDE version 1.2.3.4.5. Write a story asking "What do you think about religion and politics?" and see the flood.
The type of the first argument will tell you exactly what the "+" will do. The English problem is best represented by "right". Get in the right lane. There is no way to know whether to get in the lane opposite the left, or choose the correct lane.
You're confusing the issue. No programming language is ambiguous. The English language is ambiguous. Using "integer" instead of "int" isn't what I'm talking about.
Lojban is among the more interesting newer languages. It can be parsed just like c! Esperanto is somewhat interesting. English will be regarded in the future as a curious artifact--it was swept along with the technology revolution simply because ASCII didn't include accents and extra marks on letters. Eventually we'll get away from vocalization all together and have purely numerical, written laguages.
Right now, trying to work with English in computers deals way more with the strangeness of the language than the more interesting issues of cognition that lie underneath.

Wow! No wonder I keep coming back here.
Uploading?
Way way overrated.

You're not original at all. Don't you think there's enough negativity and cynicism floating around? No need to add to it.
If IPv6 makes copyright harder to enforce, that's a good thing, right?
Ogg is an alternative. Make some effort to use it.
All this is just warmup to when we isolate consciousness, and transfer it to a different physical object (perhaps silicon based).
MP3 is patented, and patents are evil, just like copyright. At least try to recommend ogg if FLAC is too big.

Wouldn't it be more elegant to have everything in hexadecimal?

So you figure just maybe you got one less person to compete for that tech job, eh?
Look, you're smart! You don't have to make armchair observations on every physics and math problem out there.
So HTML colors and IPv6 are in. Decimal is ugly.
The type of the first argument will tell you exactly what the "+" will do. The English problem is best represented by "right". Get in the right lane. There is no way to know whether to get in the lane opposite the left, or choose the correct lane.
How much time wasted converting? How much elegance lost to decimal?

Well parsing of course becomes your grammar checking. Spell checking is more lexical analysis--but for numbers that's just seeing what's in range.
Put it on your sig!
You are not alone in this view.
