Right? My reaction was, "I could do that in under a minute in Vim".

Piracy is when you board a ship, kill or kidnap its crew and steal the cargo. Copying a file is nothing like that.

I have nothing to say about Brandon Gill except of course: try to make it look like an accident.

Oh. I wish. That used to be normal for around here, but now I think I'm going to have to move from Switzerland to Sweden.

Yeah, it was useful for about six months or so, but now it's just stupid.

You know, I can see where you're coming from there, but people have to resist with the tools they have at hand. I think it's a lot more powerful sometimes to keep your resistance in the family, both literally and figuratively.

Or Jewish friends who publicly denounce what is now clearly a genocide are to be protected and lauded, of course.

But those who resist quietly among family and friends, also deserve our admiration. Sometimes quiet diplomacy is the most effective thing, and it's perhaps even more brave when well meaning folk like yourself are creating these litmus tests requiring public resistance.

I think I was still occasionally using Mac OS in early 1999, but I made the leap sometime that year.

One exploded. The other disintegrated.

Toss in an exploding space shuttle and the fall of the Berlin wall and you get Gen X.
