The cloud is going back to mainframes (e.g. Chromebook). Kay and 2.8MB system (Squeak). TCP/IP in 160 SLOC (Ian Piumarta).

You mix Open source and Free software.

Go have a real degree first (real science like physics), then maybe go back to computing.

Cannot catch up with the 70s!

My physics diploma says that you're not contributing any useful arguments to the discussion at hand.

[pierre_d528]

Your contribution is very interesting : it shows how little a diploma (a.k.a. "education") has to do with any kind of ability to produce anything useful.

No one cares about Squeak anymore. We have browsers.

[pierre_d528]

Average web page is > 2MB[1]

Lol... you are really clueless.

[KirinDave]

But that's mostly raster images and fonts. Code density is quite low, and JavaScript takes many cues from SmallTalk.

"Lol." A technical term.
