Palpatine kinda DID end the voting system (analogue to parliamentary democracy):

“The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I’ve just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.” -Grand Moff Tarkin

So, in other words, the two are more alike than is initially obvious.

I may not like him, but if it’s a franchise instead of direct-owned (varies by store), nothing (money-wise) is making it all the way up to him.

Almost. The first recorded use of ‘Zero’ was in Mesopotamia in 3BC/BCE. https://www.history.com/news/who-invented-the-zero

Nope. 1 BC/BCE -> 1 AD/CE. That’s just how it was designed.

You have to say you use Vim then actually use Nano. That’s the Linux way.

It’s 2 years of FEATURE updates, usually longer for security.

I’d say keep it basic with Ubuntu. It’s not exciting, but it ‘just works’ out of the box and there’s TONs of support if you can’t figure something out.

When Java was made, nobody guessed that a phone or console would ever be as powerful as a PC. “Everywhere” really meant “Everywhere powerful enough (just PCs).”

Could MC Java be ported to a phone? Yes, but C++ is just so much more efficient for a small device.

Both with an O here.

Corn me up, snake

Words on an image that created humor, so I’d say so.

Redneck Georgia too.

3.5" hard drives have a physical volume of about 0.0107 cubic feet. A Chevy Express has a cargo volume of 239.7 cubic feet. Assuming that only 200 cubic feet can be effectively used, roughly 18,000 hard drives can be loaded into the van. If each hard drive is a 22TB Western Digital (largest mass available to consumers), that’s 396,000TB of data. Let’s assume a travel distance of 2 hours in the van, with an extra 4 hours on each end for unloading/loading. That’s 396000TB per hour/6600TB per minute/110TB per second. Most wireless connections are measured in mega/gigabits (not bytes) per second, so that’s 880Tb per second. This is far faster than any wireless connection available, even with much longer travel and unloading times. We can therefore conclude that a van full of hard drives has very good bandwidth.

No, but it’s still within the modern era of technology.

Not on the scale of Star Trek, where advanced technology such as replicators allows them to create food out of waste through atomic recomposition. Modern-day communist societies such as the Soviet Union are plagued by hunger and starvation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1930–1933
