Warning, this statement is false.

Sounds like Latex which has been around much longer.

Wreck-it is not a video game movie in the sense that it adapts the original storyline of a video game to a movie, it is a movie about characters living in a video game. It is good though.

I also don't approve of the wasteful short lifecycles, however I don't think they are only caused by device drivers being closed source. People want to buy new devices, not only because of the outdated software, but also because the hardware has improved so much in the last years, and because they enjoy buying.

I don't think changing the usage of system calls in the kernel as a reaction to Meltdown is a good workaround to make. This could lead to CPU makers relying on the workaround rather than fixing the issue in their CPU architecture. The other side of the medal is that this increases the motivation to switch to a newer CPU, which generates more waste, and the fact that CPUs running slower need to run longer, and use more energy, both of which is bad for the environment, and costs money.

People don't really understand what the terms 'up' or 'down' mean, in general. Down is the direction of the sum of the gravitation forces. That's why things fall down. The brain doesn't care about up or down location of nerves, because it is not affected much by gravity, it is held in place. If a nerve is above or below another, the brain doesn't care. On a side note, you should also realize that the direction 'down' is dependent on your location, unless you are on the discworld.

Finally, someone made an Eisbergsalat that stays true to it's name.
