They're not better than raw sockets, they're simply an abstraction layer on top of them.

For example, building a message queuing service using raw sockets that works on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux is quite the undertaking. With ZeroMQ (and I'm assuming nanomsg as well), it's quite simple.

ZeroMQ and nanomsg are like raw socket toolboxes.

There must be laws against this sort of practice, right?

Maybe there are clear loop-holes.

In Firefox, arrows that point to boxes have the head set to '^' regardless of their actual direction.

So an arrow to a box might look like ----^

This look cool! I have a small suggestion though. I think you should put an animated gif in the GitHub readme showing it in use. Maybe even use something like https://asciinema.org/.

"[Microsoft] wouldn’t comment on what share of [Office 365] customers are using the program for financial analysis and accounting.

Good, I would be concerned if they knew exactly what each customer was using their software for.
