Technically Abraham, as he was the one, with whom G-d established the Covenant. Although I'm pretty sure there are lengthy disputes in Talmud arguing that it started with Adam and Hava.

I suspect that will do little good. They can just as well (and likely will) force you to register at some point under the threat of disconnecting your service.

This is absolutely not about hardware (or even software). It is about indemnification from copyright infringement claims. Adobe's main selling point for Firefly (or whatever it is called) is that is trained on Adobe's data.

Not the same scenario but recently GoDaddy conveniently "forgot" to extract auto-payment for the only domain I still had with them (somewhat exotic .es TLD) and also forgot to warn me about it, letting the domain registration laps

Strange, they never asked those condemned to actually utter some sound or mimic something, isn't it? Well, that's because residual muscle twitch is not controlled and is not conscious. Rapid drop of blood pressure renders the pers

What an amazing example of sensationalism and rumor milling! Not a single thing was said about the possibility of a second round of layoffs but hey - the fact Pichai didn't flat out denied it must mean it is in the works!

Wrong. Two reasons actually: 1. RHEL was the first distro directed at enterprise deployment (meaning, strong preference of rock solid stability and predictability over constant churn). Which made it the only distro Dells and HPs of the worl

Part of our business-critical financial analytics software was running on VAX/VMS, then AlphaVMS decades ago. Written in DEC Pascal (let's just say - not really compatible with any other Pascal dialects I am aware of). We managed

Interestingly, I recall [from several years ago] that during the account creation, when Google asked for phone number to send the verification code to, it specifically stated that the phone would not be "linked" to the account and

My memory might be failing me but the whole raison d'être for GNOME project was the call by RMS. The premise was as follows: Qt was not truly free (despite promises by TrollTech at the time to address) and thus KDE could not be conside

Am I the only one who feels that Gnome, somewhat hilariously, is unable to get basic consistent UI over 2.5 decades - something that KDE nailed down at ... what was it? ... KDE 1.1? I mean it is kind of sad, but educational - you get the pr

Windows NT 3.x were pretty crappy performance-wise BUT... - They were still very logically (and somewhat elegantly) designed, well architected and portable. - They were amazingly stable (compared to the rest of the Windows family, that is).

After they had bumped up the price for the second year in a row (without any meaningful justification), I moved to 1Password and never looked back. I would love a good comeback story and I wish them all the luck but it is yet to be seen how

It's quite sad how the same old story unveils: an agile company with a great product and large community sells off to a large corporation, which destroys both the community and the product on its quest to squeeze more ROI... About 3 ye

It's been a long time since I used Mathematica (I still think it is an absolutely awesome product even though I'm not a huge fan of the language, to say the least), so I might not have context. Question to more knowledgeable peopl

Reuven - I think we've met briefly at ILUG in 1994-1995 (I just started using Linux at work (SLS then Slackware then RedHat) and it was a lot of fun. Also, support for Cyrillic was all around the place, so I ended up writing a Cyrillic

I'm kind of amused by this news. Based on my (consumer/addict since 1997) experience, Amazon's logistics is ruthlessly efficient and also easy to troubleshoot when things go south (extremely rarely). FedEx quality of service

Personally, I hate FedEx with passion! They are the most unreliable, the most clueless and most difficult to work with. UPS never has an issue leaving packages by the door, whereas FedEx would always record a failed attempt to deliver. Last
