Yes, and they had to built their own php to c++ transpiler, then virtual machine and finally their own language. Truly the real man solution. The only way this could have been better is if the vm for hack was written in brainfuck.

Hilariously enough Trump let the patriot act expire this year, this wasn't covered in the news. You can however bet your last dollar that Biden will re-enact it within his 101 days in office.

There isn't any evidence anything causes anything else. Cartesian dualism is irrefutable. So for all we know we live in a world where IBM destroying everything they touch is purely the will of a malevolent daemon who wants to tarnish t

Other than not accepting the republican offer that was twice the size of this one before the election? No, not really. In the same way I have no proof that a coin which lands heads 50 times in a row is biased.
