It has recently come to my attention that a disturbing number of web sites are unlicensed, or licensed with evil corporate satan trickery (aka anything except my GPL). As you know, anything that does not use my GPL is fighting against freedom, especially BSD licensed or public domain works!
I come here today as lord and unholy master of all FOSS to notify all my loyal GNU/linux users and GPL programming minions that they must boycott any and all websites that do not conform to my GPL.
At the moment only 0.000000000000000001% of html code includes my GPL license, however, I'm sure that if you do my bidding and boycott the internet we can soon change this.
Thank you for your time, my loyal subjects.

Sincerely,
-Emperor, World renound genius, and OpenSource Jesus, RMS Marx Stallman

0/10, not amusing.
Please go back to grind your trolling skills on JEWS threads.

also, this is not /g/ so why are you rating people, you imageboard baby?

There's this thing called "satire". I think you should look it up.

RMS's best propaganda has always been his hacking. So it is for all of us; to the rest of the world outside our little tribe, the excellence of our software is a *far* more persuasive argument for openness and freedom than any amount of highfalutin appeal to abstract principles. So the next time RMS, or anybody else, urges you to "talk about freedom", I urge you to reply "Shut up and show them the code."

Yes, but there are also things called "effort" and "comedy", which you should look up

Don't be so harsh on the beginner troll, guys.

That reminds me, when looking up a dictionary, which lookup strategies do you guys use? I always scan back and forth in decreasingly large increments, which is kind of weird, because binary search would clearly work better. A two or three level deep index at the start of the book would probably be the best, but I've never seen a dictionary implement it.

Humans can't perform binary search efficiently. The entries in a dictionary would need to be numbered and doing it would imply several arithmetic operations. For humans, that's actually more expensive than just skipping forward or backward by some amount.
An index would also be slower.

By the way, another algorithm that doesn't work for humans is quick sort.

Yes, and I've had some limited success incorporating merge sort into my daily life.
For Dictionaries, I either use one on my computer or skim through the pages linearly (flip book style) until I'm within a reasonable margin and then go backwards/forwards as appropriate.

It's the abstract principles that form the core of RMS's argument.

Is Hurd kernel usable?
