grrr... your init system should not dictate what a valid username is. Your init system should use whatever users you've configured. I don't like your name. Therefore you get root. How on earth did this init system become so pre

Dagnabbit systemd! Thank you. You just solved a mysterious bug for me. The whole purpose of nohup is to get your process to ignore your session ending. Why on earth systemd would up and decide that you didn't do that on purpose is b

That's comical. I feel like I have an understanding of what's going on because I've been in this scenario on a contract - not with Google. I was told - "there's a backlog of support requests. They are old requests

Forgive me for having a differing opinion, but just to clarify. I would agree with the FSF statement that there will be more DRM on the web. Where I differ is that I believe it would happen regardless. If it's not standard DRM, then i

So my kids watch people streaming non-stop. At first I had no opinion. Then it seemed like they did it way too much and I fought it. Then I started paying attention and found it interesting as well. For them it's gaming, game discov

DRM is a non-starter and is in reality defective by design. Pirates have created markets where there were none and are an important part of every entertainment eco-system. It's been that way since the beginning. This is just another i

Interesting. Looking around because I thought it was ruby at one point, but it turns out it was originally written in Lisp. http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/rewritingreddit I don't know where I got that idea from.

This is not a copyright issue. Copyright was peripherally mentioned in the C&D and not the basis of the C&D. Copyright does not belong to Zillow, as they mentioned themselves directly in the C&D.

People all around the country receive similar C&D letters every day. Many of them actually are clear cut cases of fair use. All I'm saying is that they could have picked any of those cases to spend their time on.

This is not a first amendment case at all. Freedom of expression has nothing to do with the privilege to use images posted on a website.

Those kind of buildings are all around the country and serve various purposes - some of which specifically manage 911 calls. I can't imagine ever decommissioning one. Sometimes even gaining access takes something just shy of an act o

I find it odd that so many comments here highlight the fact that people are giving interview questions that have little to nothing to do with day-to-day employment tasks. It seems to me like an enormous amount of time wasted for both interv

To be fair, nobody has paid anything at this point. Zillow sent this lady a C&D letter where TOS, not copyright, was the primary factor.

While people here are making an argument that this is fair use, it's not quite so simple. You have to pay money to argue in front of a judge, and unless no counter-argument is provided, summary judgement is far from an inevitability.

This is an interesting perspective coming from someone who has sat on both sides of the table. The bulk of customers over the course of my career have had non-technical people making purchasing decisions. Sales engineers (techies who work
