Maybe if you use Yandex Mail the US government will at least have to do the proper procedures in a Russian court, to get your data.

Some decades ago the per capita income of South Korea was on par with some of the poorest nations in the world. Today South Korea is a rich nation. Japan was devastated after the WWII, but it experienced an economic miracle afterwards. China was an under achiever in the last century, but in the next decades it will become a superpower. We can talk all day about how equal we are, but not everyone thrives equally, even under the best of conditions.
I can not but held the believe that among individuals, families, nations and ethnic groups, there are innate differences. Differences that are deeply rooted within our genes, we're all thinking beings but not everyone can be Newton, I sure can't. Of course you may beg to differ with me, after all individuals tend to distort the reality to their views. I might have a distorted view of reality, though I doubt it.

Would this be a valid open source license?
I am not using this license for anything big. Most of my code is pretty much useless and for the code I consider more useful I use the ISC license.
>6- Why did you create a new distro? Because we can.
I am probably going to get my karma downgraded but I have to say what I think. The world doesn't need another me too Linux distro, what a waste.
" Which depends on the high school you go to. ? I am not sure if C++ was available when I was in high school. * This was some time ago when I was in high school, maybe they don't teach them anymore.
>Ruboto allows you to run Ruby scripts on Android devices. Using Ruby code, you have access to the complete Android API. Currently, we have 2 offerings: ruboto and ruboto-irb. Ruboto is based on JRuby.
The sl4a Ruby interpreter is based on Ruboto. So accesing the Android API with Ruby is posible. JRuby is Java after all, check their site.
P.S. I wish I had the skill to help out in this project.
I will not go on to discuss this article. But I want to express a point of view that I have. I am starting to learn programming and for a lot of reasons, I think I rather learn an Open Source technology than a Microsoft one. Microsoft technologies are meant to work together and this will inevitably lead to you getting locked in, in a Microsoft environment. With Open Source technologies you always have options since they are platform agnostic even though they work better in UNIX-like environments. You can run any of the popular programming languages (Lua, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc) that are used in UNIX-like systems on Windows, and the server software used in UNIX-like systems is also available in Windows, but Microsoft technologies are Windows only. Other important difference is that Open Source technologies can be extended by their users, you don't have to beg anyone to extend the features of an Open Source technology.
At this moment my only computing device is an Android smartphone, you can't do much with it right, right. Ha, but guess what you can install Lua, Perl, Python & JRuby. With JRuby you can even access the full Android API. So I am learning Ruby from and with my Android smartphone. I bet I can't do this with Microsoft technologies.
I bet that a better investment with that cash, would be to get a decent Ruby library.
No don't do it, unless you've been diagnosed with a fatal disease that will shorten your life span to a few months, I don't see the reason to hurry.
>* building my own startup (eBay competitor)
If you think your startup will be able to compete with eBay today it's likely that it will be able to compete withy eBay in a few years. They are an established company after all they are very likely to purse a stable business model. You could start actively working in your prototype in your free time, so that when you start your startup you have a stable code base and you don't have to code like mad. Have you calculated how much it will cost you to fund this startup, do you have enough savings to last until you are profitable. The legal aspect is something you should also think about although I don't really know what legal problems there could be but. Just don't make any dumb decision now like having kids or getting married, postpone this for later and you can rack up some savings for your future projects. If you think your location could affect your plans if you have a degree and try hard enough, I am sure you could get a job in the US and eventually be on your way to open a startup there (?).
>It seems your main issue is "resentment against the way college teaches". College is like school - it's badly run, and sucks, but the people who say it sucks are just being losers. Just accept the BS, do whatever it takes to pass (including cheating, if it's the norm) and enjoy learning new stuff.
From my personal experience I can tell you that this is true. To make a long story short, I dropped out of high school on my fourth semester. I stopped putting in the effort to pass the subjects, especially Visual Basic 6 (I hate Microsoft products) and because of this I only approved two subjects. My classmate (another slacker) and I, had to do a project with all the stuff we where supposed to know about VB6, but we didn't even had a fscking clue. That's how much we slacked during classes, I even skipped some. We started doing the project four days before the due date, we where reading and downloading documentation like mad but yet we couldn't manage to finish on time, a day before the due date me and my classmate where discussing the possibility of cheating by buying the project from some older guys that knew VB6. I felt that it was to much fscking trouble and bailed out. Even if we got the project in, we would've had to approve a lot of global exams since could only advance to the next grade with three failed subjects. No joke, I became a NEET for two years in which I spent most of my time reading about Linux and related topics. Just until recently I started going to night school (still not working) to make up for the lost time. If I had worked hard in the beginning or cheated and studied like mad at the end of that semester, I wouldn't be telling this story. I don't regret those two years in which I spent most of my time reading, I regret those two years in which I postponed the BS.
