I think your comment is a bit unfair. All the problems you mentioned also exist outside of the FOSS world. People feel the same frustration, but they typically won't say it because of some kind of hierarchy. Is that a good thing? I&#x2

Probably, but is it that obvious? Having an opponent that is not even trying to win is much harder to predict. I've heard several poker players saying that it's hard to play against novices, because they do nonsense. Surly there

Dynamicity usually refers to the fact that you can execute code that wasn't fully specified at runtime. Lisp code is the stereotypical example of a dynamic programming language because it can update its own code while being executed. O

Taxes such as the ones on CO2 emissions are made to influence people's behaviour. That's why I think strict regulations are sometime better than taxes because they don't really influence people, or at least not in a sneaky

Why is this downvoted, this is a very reasonable question. Noise is a mechanical wave produced by something vibrating. If you can hear it, it means that thing is vibrating quite hard inside your monitor.
