First of all, our computers are always on. Those kernels don't compile themselves, three times a day. Secondarily we could, at least, turn our machines on without having to install a dozen of updates before having to reboot again.

"bribed" is a gross simplifiction of the almost hilariously evil plot they pulled to get OOXML certified. They actually bribed a couple of smaller nation states to become IETF members and vote for Microsoft's standard. It was a major scandal back in the day but formally legal.

The same old song. Fascist voters believe that they will profit from fascism while only "the others" will be hurt. Idiots don't realize that they are nothing but disposable assets to a fascist regime. That's what fascism is all about.

CSS on the other hand is quite essential to separate layout from content. Which is a good thing, so I can't really think of a reason for a "no-CSS" rule. Specifically if you can use inline styles as well but in a way more messy way.

Just in case: VAPING, SMOKING OR BASING AMPHETAMINE IS LIKELY TO KILL YOU!
Despite the ideas of some "experts" speed is not the same as meth and heating and inhaling speed will at best give you the bends.

No AI needed for that. These bloody librarians wouldn't let us have the Necronomicon either. Selfish bastards...

Easy. It's Atlantis. Not only Americans would fail here, also ancient Greeks because they located Atlantis somewhere in the Aegean sea where an undersea quake sunk a couple of islands. Claiming Atlantis was lost and can't be found, of course, is cheap. It takes the illuminated mind of a trained alchemist to see the truth behind the blindwork of the temple knights and the dark forces of the Vatican.

Obviously TV stars are the right people to ask about city planning. Because city planners and architects have given up the concept of automotive cities as recently as 1970 and nobody has been giving a fuck since then. On of the fathers of the original idea, Le Corbusier, declared the automotive city as failed because of the sheer number of cars . The automobile revolution had, in his opinion turned into an automobile explosion and no reasonable concept could handle the volume of traffic that were far beyond the estimations the original idea was based on. Nevertheless reasonable political reactions on the total failure of dealing with permanently increasing inner city infvidual traffic are still an exception. Because Hans Wurst and Joe Moron must have their car an arm's length away from their sofas or they'll either die from exhaustion walking to the convenience store or from acute lack of beer and potato chips...

building the taskbar from scratch meant that they had to cherry-pick things to put into the feature list first, and the ability to move the taskbar didn’t make the cut, for several reasons that Microsoft values.

Translation: Nobody really knows (or wants to take the blame), we probably just forgot to put on the feature list. Anyway, I'll just use the usual vague weasel-words that don't really mean anything.

The Nobel Peace Prize -once granted by a jury of scholars- has been given by politicians to other politicians for years now and has become just as worthless as you'd expect. Trump should definitely have one, just because he likes golden things so much. Maybe they should create a special category, the Trump Nobel Peace Prize, just as the economists did with their "Nobel prize" for economy (or whatever). The latter is not a Nobel prize at all, but who cares. Maybe put double gold on it or better put two medals and extra cheese in a burger roll. I bet Trump would like that,

Certainly seems draconic, but consider her crimes: dissent, protest. These can't remain unpunished or others might be encouraged to follow her example. I do not support the death penalty but such infamous terrorist activities as elderly ladies openly protesting in public call for drastic measures.Think of the children!

But not a quality audience.

It's not about the password on the server where you want to log in, it's about CSV files stored on the machine of the cybercrook who wants to use the passwords to steal people's identities.

Astronomers and chemistry.... (sigh). Helium is asexual by the way. It doesn't bond with anyone else. And hydrogen is 99% homo, unless... let's just not talk about that.

Ze right way to replace "th" is as always ze German one. Zat's an order! And if zee AI zen sounds like ze Führer it's just for ze better. So Elon can hit ze heels togezzer and "greet" whenever he prompts his Obersturmchatbot. Jawohl, Scheisskopf! Hollahiaho, Potzblitz und Schweinefricken zugenäht!

The music industry is dead. There is no music industry anymore. What once was the recording industry is now just a part of the finance industry. That's why nothing new has been coming up in the (mainstream) music world and that's why nothing but crap is on the movies. Why discover or produce anything new and risky when you can make good money selling and buing copyrights and bundling them into "finance product"? Why come up with new "products" for cinema when you have an ongoing and predictable(!) stream of profit from the 957th shitty sequel of a well established franchise?

Goddammit! For all those still struggling to understand: Frankenstein's monster didn't create himself. Dr. Frankenstein did. The monster didn't ask to be created and while its' sheer existence was a "crime against nature" the creature itself was innocent. So it logically was a victim of Frankenstein's Faustian ambitions. This simple fact -and its' classic predecessors- of course remain completely ignored by The Sun and its' braindead readers.

Und was sagt das Landwirtschaftsministerium dazu? Wenn man schon die Rindviecher nach ihrer Meinung fragt...

Since when have there been age restrictions on music? Freedom of the arts, anyone?

I don't think Linus Thorvalds is either very stylish or really an asshole. He might be a bit short fused, but not an asshole.
