I did my bachelors (in India) in the mid-90s, and we all coded this way in our 8085 labs. Many of us even did final-year projects on similar-looking 8085 kits. Given that such kits are still sold [1] in India, I guess quite a few engineerin

But on Linux, if you carefully select window managers and programs, you'll have an easy answer to GP's questions "Anyone know the thinking behind this? Is it for historical reasons?" The answer is, "sure, I know the thinking behind this". I

Wow! No trial needed. They are obviously guilty, right? If we forcefully take money from them, we are not robbing them, we are only punishing them, right, comrade?

I don't rob banks, run a slave trade business, etc. I'm fairly confident I'm not an interesting person, as far as governments are concerned. If you want to try, I wish you luck in figuring out who my employers were/are.

What dosage have you tried? I have always been very careful to not abuse it. So, I'd take just 100mg as soon as I woke up. Perhaps upping my dosage will bring out those effects.

Land is a resource. If I claim exclusive use of a piece of land, no one else can use that land as they wish. Inventions are NOT like that. Comparing patents and land, the way you have, leads to a bizarre form of capitalism. "Propertizing th
