I want to drive a car without the tyranny of speed limits, I’m not putting anyone in danger except those who choose to be endangered (driving a car, walking a street). I oppose discrimination. I know how to drive a car, where is my driver’s license?

Microsoft is a crucial pillar in the US's political and industrial espionage, they won't let that happen. It wouldn't protect the US from threats, it would protect China.

I would argue that highlighting the syntax is tidying up. It doesn’t stop you from keeping the code clean. Shooting yourself in the foot in order to not walk that much isn’t a compelling argument.

Oh come on, you use it as a drug to let the Mac stay awake. Whether or not the guideline makes sense, you are obviously violating it, just change the name.
