My Acer laptop from 2006 has a single (32-bit, of course) core with 2 GB RAM, and still plays most video just fine. I fire it up every few weeks to see whether it still runs. So far, it always has.
1 Kill, destroy, or remove a large proportion of: the inhabitants of the country had been decimated
1.1 Drastically reduce the strength or effectiveness of (something): public transport has been decimated
2historical Kill one in every ten of (a group of people, originally a mutinous Roman legion) as a punishment for the whole group: the man who is to determine whether it be necessary to decimate a large body of mutineers
Although I suspect you won't get very far with it there.
You seem to think that exploitation by foreign corporations and corruption of local officials are mutually exclusive. What basis have you for this assumption?
I've been asked for the address of my hotel, address and phone numbers of my relative in the US (why?), the address of the university I finished 20 years ago (why, you want to send them mail?), and a lot of other crap...
*I* get asked this kind of shit when entering, and I'm coming in on a US passport bearing a very Anglo-Saxon name and face (very obviously mine), and showing that I was born there. I get hassled less when I visit China. WTF?
Someone with mod points doesn't care for inconvenient truths, eh?
As a born US citizen who travels frequently to China, it's far faster/easier for me to get through customs etc. when visiting the PRC than it is when I go home to visit family in the USA.
I also have much more confidence in the abilities and professionalism of the Chinese border people than I do the Wal-Mart castoffs I see working for TSA.
The part about your chances of getting shot at--also quite true. I still have a little nick in my right earlobe thanks to a ricochet from someone exercising their 2nd Amendment rights a block or so away from me a few years ago. That didn't happen in China.
Back on topic: My response to such question would be, "I don't do that social media bullshit. I have better ways to waste my time. Any more questions?"
JS is not and never has been limited to the client. NS-SSJS is long gone, but to this day, you can write ASP/ASP.Net code in JScript and IIS will run it just fine. There are other examples if you care to find them. And I've been hearing lately about something called "Node.JS"...
There are lots of other environments supporting JS as well.
If you just wanted to do something very simple, you could embed Javascript in an HTML attribute value. You can't do that if you require line endings and white-space as part of the language syntax.
You obviously know first-hand something of what you're talking about. What are you doing in this discussion, anyway?:-D
That is, if you're not one of the many who confuses the territory (objects) with just one of the maps (classes) you can make of that territory.
The real beauty of JS is that the notation for just about any data structure maps very neatly on to any of the others. If it's easier to work with an object at some point as a hash, you treat it as a hash. A few lines later, it proves handy to treat it as an array. Later, maybe it's best to access it as an object again.
Apparently, most folks can't handle that kind of freedom.

Wrong. The original pilot had a human male captain, Christopher Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter. Perhaps you should actually watch it sometime.
They're way ahead of where many will be in 10 years when they're all stripping out systemd.
Nay, 'tis a compliment. It's not like that grey doesn't show up by itself after a decade or three. Oh, wait...
You laugh because you know it's true.
How did you manage to post an edh? Seriously?
Real Linux users only boot a machine once, so the boot speed hardly matters.
TFTFY.
Anyone using an SSD is not going to be worried about boot times in any case.
That was kind of sexy until you got to the "incinerate" part.
My, aren't we testy today.
Please. Sheldon would not have been obnoxious and obtuse. Sheldon would have been obnoxious, obtuse, and correct.
Please take your argument to Oxford...

It's 1800 kilometres from Oslo to Tromsø. Wyoming measures roughly half that distance from corner to corner.
Does your snark apply even in cases of election fraud, Mr Snarky?

Gee, I wonder about that, too.

There's quite a lot in China that's not in Beijing or Shanghai.

ECMA International has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. A European but non-EU country, in case you didn't know.
^ is bitwise OR, just as it is in countless other languages, e.g. C, C++, Perl, Java, to name a few.

I think we've found our Lisp programmer.

Prototypes kick ass, if you know how to use them.
