I had a server shut down after it started scanning other servers from other hosters for vulnerabilities. Taking it offline immediately is what I would expect any sane hoster to do. Not being available for resolution is a different thing.

The problem is not that they cut off your (possibly rooted) server. Thats good practice and I don't blame them for that. The problem is that relevant persons assisting you in resolving the problem (e.g. giving access using a secure con

Hetzner reuses disks to reduce cost. So a "new" server might come with old disks with shorter life-spans. Thats all okay, especially as they are not a 'premium' host. As long as you are aware of this, they are a good hos

It doesn't necessarily lead to shitty code. There, it is a question of how good he is a _race car driving_. (For those that don't want to click the link: (turing-unaware) race car drivers are programmers that know a single high-le

It still doesn't fit the narrative. "obscure" to summer hit would be someone like Manu Chao that went from "never placed a song" to 189 weeks in european charts instantly. Also, Daft Punk did place an album in the T

Billboard 61 isn't exactly "obscure" either. Also, they had one album in the Top 50, which is very good for an act in that genre of music. They may not be the hottest act globally, but they are a well established band that tr

This is a very cultural thing. In germany, no one uses testimonials, they are often seen as either fake or bragging and a sign that you don't want to talk about your product.

Very simple. HP announced open sourcing WebOS in Winter 2011, Boot 2 Gecko (as Firefox OS was called back then) was announced in July 2011. Expect that Mozilla worked on it well before that. Firefox OS predates the open WebOS.

Thanks for your comment as well, this is all very true. On threatening: yes, sure. True professionals will invoke lawyers once you speak about them. Tread carefully, most of the times you don't want that.

This cannot be generalized, as it _heavily_ depends on jurisdiction. OP for example is from the UK. For example (IANAL and everything): In germany, if a client hasn't payed an invoice without challenging it, you can get a court order f

There yet another side to this: by signing that he "stops harming the US", Snowden would sign that he "is currently harming the US".

I agree on that. It is just that in my opionion, strong wording with regards to software freedom should be reserved to those that practice it. In context of the industry, ID is unusually open and releasing their old engines is a valuable se

by Argorak 13y ago
It is true that GoldSrc is not released and Valve is (technology-wise) not an "open company" at all and I don't oppose that. Also, I wrote that the (ID) engines are closed while still sold for licensing - that has nothing to

This comparison is flawed. Carmack releases the code _after_ the game engine is well out of the licensing period and not used anymore. Source is an ongoing effort and can still be licensed. Anything that is "in production" at ID s

No, it would not be, as the GPL would eliminate the core sentence of their current license: > You may, free of charge, download and use the SDK to develop a modified Valve game running on the Source engine. You may distribute your modifi

Puppet doesn't require you to do any Ruby. Also, Salt is written in python, for which the same argument holds as well for almost all environments.

To clarify for those that don't know: Gauck is now the president of Germany, so he didn't meet Obama because of his history. Also, his first name is Joachim.

Once you start scripting your K/V store, its not a simple K/V store anymore. I am not against databases with scripting capabilities and I do not think javascript/front end developers are per se naive, but I've far to oft
