Even I was able to identify the sarcasm on first sight.

Since there is no source, nor official distributor, there is too much risk that you install a well-hidden trojan.

He says "bricking your website" while he means "your website will appear as if it has an invalid certificate".

Bricking means to crash something beyond repair.

It is "Apache OpenOffice", not plain OpenOffice.

I hope they are honest enough to hand over the assets to the Document Foundation.

For ForeignPolicy to pick this up, it would be something with potential to cause trouble inside China.

The simplest explanation is that trade existed even in prehistoric times. It did not have to be the same person that took ore from African mines all the way to China. While merchants traveled a lot, those in high ranks did not have a reason to travel much.

This story appears to be on par with Jesus Christ being from India.

It would make much more sense if the mobile phone operators offered free mobile data access.

It is messy to make changes to router settings to most users.

The task of the recruiters is to bring leads to Google. Do not feel bad about any delay in graduation; have an answer in case you are asked and focus on the actual process.

No, not a mere crass joke.

Trump's style is to try saying different nasty things in order to see which sticks and makes his opponent to lose balance.

Trump did this on Ted Cruz, insinuating threats to his family. It was something that affected Cruz and contributed to him having a bad campaign. Cruz even mentioned this recently when he refused to endorse Trump.

Trump and his media team repeat adjectives when refering to opponents, like "crooked hillary". Cruz was the "zodiac killer".

Your mails are as private as the mail servers of the other people you are communicating with.

The very unofficial convention is to write README.something. Indeed, it should have been README.Ubuntu.md

React Native is just React using native components instead of the typical web components.

All this is about React Native also supporting native components in Ubuntu, namely the phone and the new desktop.

Should be for Unity 8, therefore for desktop as well.

This was in one of Rumanajan's textbooks that he sent to Hardy. It changes the semantics of established notation instead of invnting new.

There is so much you can put in a title. Calling it as "clickbait" is too much. They are simple instructions to get the maps of a continent online.
