One comedy that did a good job of depicting programmers with no sense of hope circa 1999 was Office Space.

Interesting summary. The relationship with some Arab speaking states has had some recent relevance.

Consider this. There are circumstances in Venezuela that some would consider worthy of a civil war. This award winner has chosen peaceful resistance, acts that may have prevented war.

In my experience, the 10-15 year old salvaged computer that still works okay with GNU/Linux is increasingly a 64 bit machine.

Case in point, I'm writing on a x86_64 laptop that was a free give away to me about a year ago with a CPU release year that is 2012.

I have personally given away a x86_64 desktop unit years ago that was even older, might have had DDR1 memory.

Circa 2013 my old company was gifted a x86_64 motherboard with DDR2 memory that ended up serving as our in-office server for many years. We maxed the RAM (8GB) and at some point bought a CPU upgrade on ebay that gave us hardware virtualization extensions.

This is correct. But it can talk in their ear and be a good sycophant while they attend.

For a Star Wars anology, remember that the most important thing that happened to Anikin at the opera in EP III was what was being said to him while he was there.
