I've only finished recently, but: 'Walden' by Henry David Thoreau. I've read a few books about simple living/minimalism but 'Walden' is something special. Many patient observations of simple natural phenomenon are wonderful meditations and potent lessons. It seemed just as relevant to present times as to when it was written. I feel like there's a lot to extract from that book, I'll definitely read it many more times!

It is in the public domain in the US (published 1854) so you can get the ebook or audiobook for free from Project Gutenberg!

"Listening to a song ironically"? Who is doing that? And why?

Same here. Is there a way to spoof a more generic fingerprint or something?

Early Mormon church history is about as bizzarre and dramatic as it gets. I think a well-produced & historically accurate dramaticization of the weird beginnings of the Mormon church would make for a good miniseries.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but I don't think OP's claims are extraordinary. I think he's only saying "I've noticed Linux can outperform Windows on programs that are optimized for Windows. Kinda unexpected, but here are the benchmarks."

OP is not claiming that this is true in 100% of cases. For example, in this thread he points out that Windows outperformed Linux on Doom.

You seem to be really ruffling feathers with these comparison tests. Who'd have thought they'd be so controversial?

Thanks a lot for posting! I find them interesting!
