I wouldn't be seen in anything else... 
Living out in the sticks it's almost a necessity, as our roads never get cleared when it snows. Plus it's ideal for towing the boat and hauling stuff to the tip.
It's a shame they're being discontinued, but trying to meet newer regulations would push the cost up astronomically, and there are now lots of more eco-friendly, and comfortable, alternatives.
But - I still wouldn't swap mine

I drove a variant of the Defender, the long-wheelbase Safari, as part of a volunteer mountain rescue team. I was no good at climbing mountains but with my rally-cross experience and a Land Rover Safari I could get (and get back out of) places no normal vehicle could! It was brilliant - and saved quite a few lives.
[Correction] Actually it was a "Land Rover 109 Safari" before it became the "Defender" I think.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I suspect that the vehicle will stay around for some military and civilian use (i.e. Mountain rescue). Maybe not.

Nifty?

To me it reads like:

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Why did you say sorry?
|
|
|
|

Yeah, wish there was a way to natively run in a browser (obviously this is browser/version dependent) without writing plugins/add-ons. Running as JavaScript means all the perf benefits are lost!

Or like running a five-course gourmet meal through a blender and serving it in a paper cup with a lid and bendy straw.

From who did you hear that something like this once happened to me?

My mother. Asronaut rations two days in a row and my father never let her into the kitchen again.

Let me know when I can debug it in the browser as C++.
Until then it's just obfubarscated javascript: The only thing worse than trying to debug javascript directly.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
