No. It has become significantly easier for Europeans to immigrate since 2005. Labor certification alone now takes less than a year rather than multiple years pre-PERM. EB2 and EB3 priority dates are current. Europeans can expect to get a gr

Well, it's not just the userland. The XNU kernel is a hybrid of Mach (tasks, threads, IPC, VM), BSD (processes, users, devices, networking, system calls, VFS) and IOKit (driver framework)

They do that to some degree in Germany, which has a 3-tier secondary education system ought to group students based on their (perceived) academic aptitude. It has however been accused for being biased toward social status.

If you don't mind trailing whitespace block select might be an option (option + select on OS X / ctrl + alt + select on Linux). Or just use copy mode and yank the selection to the system clipboard.
