Back 20 years ago in college I emailed Chomsky with a number of questions about the global issues of the day. I received a detailed, point-by-point response from him that very evening.

For a public intellectual he was really approachable, RIP.

I used this at work for an internal tool and the team went wild over it. "It feels like we're working in the future!"

RIP to the Acid Queen.

This is just a static site with a big zero isn't it?

I was 30 years old when I got an entry level call center job in a software company. 10 years later I'm on the development team and finishing my degree. Hang in there 30 is the new 20.

Thanks for the encouragement!

As someone just now getting their CS degree at 41 I sure hope this is not the case.

For those who don't remember, this is the same company that was bilked $46 million in an email spoof attack.

They're used as a bad example in my annual corporate infosec compliance training.

I worked PayPal Trust & Safety in my rebellious youth, and I wouldn't use PayPal now if you paid me to do so.

They really have to get in a dig at the president in every article don't they? Even completely unrelated ones about glitter bomb traps.

"orangefuckface@whitehouse.gov" - that's really not necessary now is it?

Laneway houses.

Jane Jacobs was right.

Did they really need to stick an insult at Trump in there?

Objective non-biased journalists can't let any opportunity to bash Trump slip by.

Loser's lament.

Looks like all those years of education didn't help this author learn how to write short, concise paragraphs.

Getting married helps.

No surprise here, the fix was in. Very odd conference though, he lists all manner of violations then says no prosecutor would take the case.

I think you're discounting the spite vote.

Given that many believe Trump to be literally Hitler, bending the facts is a small price to pay to stop him.

Demagogic hate-monger seems a little strong.

Bottomless? A Kim Kardashian archive would be all bottom.

I'd say watch out for a meeting that's so important that it's split into two groups, and you're in the first group.

I'm disappointed this wasn't an article about actual guinea pigs, those suckers are adorable.

What's wrong with News Corp?

If there's a demand for unlocked tractors, wouldn't some company somewhere grow to fill that demand? Or is the tractor world an anti-competitive monopoly?

Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies?

"This man is Satoshi Nakamoto."

"What?" The police officer balks. "This is the guy who created Bitcoin? It looks like he's living a pretty humble life."

- I do not believe this exchange took place. The police would've had his name from his initial call to them, and a random officer from the Sheriff's department would not likely recognize that name as the creator of Bitcoin. Just saying.

"neither technology is likely to change me in to a player of any kind of games" - if the article writer is not himself a gamer of any sort, why should anyone listen to his opinion on forthcoming game technologies?
