Well said. Computer Science encompasses so many things, and the things you're fed up about (elitism in the community) make up just a small part of the territory. Ignore this, and take some time to explore other projects/technologi

Where was the information published? Couldn't find it anywhere...

Ambiguous or not, surely you can appreciate how ridiculous it is to be bundling closed-source malware with GPU-licensed open-source software, even if it is optional? It is precisely this kind of software that the GPL aims to protect against

Looks interesting. I think speed is absolutely important when it comes to version-control interfaces. It was one of the main reasons Linus created it in the first place (as opposed to SVN), and I'd argue it's important to maintain

The descriptions of the place are quite awe-inspiring, but it seems like the photos don't do it justice. Where are the photos of "giant cranes (aptly called Goliaths) dominating the skyline"?

I find it difficult to read longer articles on a computer, mostly because it's so easy to get distracted by so many things - other links in the page, other tabs in the browser and other apps open on the desktop. I tend to get easily di
