If there's any nugget of gold in there, it's that Dianne Feinstein voted with Ted Cruz in a Yea . I would have expected a different outcome. Apart from that it's hard to frame positively. Is this something Americans shou

Wow. I remember reading about Hotmail servers running BSD back in the day, but not quite like this. FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE is also available on these cloud hosting platforms: - Amazon(R) EC2(TM) FreeBSD/amd64 - Mic

I agree. I almost think the name Git Hub is unfortunate at this point: they're doing something so right they could nearly invent their own VCS, use ESR's new tool, or even switch to hg/darcs/etc, and still gain momen

This is made stranger by the fact the Jeff Blackburn says he knew she hadn't completed the degrees, and hired her anyways. And he went to Stanford. For an MBA. Honestly this looks really bad for Amazon, partly because it's ob

Yeah, the space up up combo is common. As long as we're fixing the problem, I've only got one small pet peeve. It's when you hit the bottom, and scroll back up, but the page was like N+.4 viewports tall, so now I'm

I think the FCC is responding to industry pressure that the Internet, in its p2p form, is a dead experiment. Cable worked better. Never had to worry about Napster before, just descramblers (but switched networks eliminate that). Read-onl

Interesting times! I'm just glad English defamation law doesn't apply to me. Most people are simply too lazy to run their own web crawler. I'm not sure why this is (the technology is well known), but they find the conveni

What boggles the mind isn't that this was possible in the 60s, it's that it required such diverse and comprehensive achievements. It wasn't just a rocket. It's a very (!) long document but these stand out: (regarding

Yes, but the classification laws were always known to apply to pawns. The rules don't matter higher up, they never have. Use of force trickles down, not up. If you were in power, would you really limit your propaganda to what's

It's a lot like handing over your rolls of film to be developed to the teenager at CVS. Discreet. If you voluntarily conveyed the information, you've got a poor claim to privacy in light of Smith v Maryland.

I think it's insane to restrict programs to just STDOUT & STDERR. Why 2? Why not use another file descriptor, maybe STDFMT, to capture all the formatting markup? This would avoid -0 options (newlines are markup sent to stdfmt, a

English pronunciation leads to algorithms like Soundex [1], which just wouldn't seem necessary if words were written purely phonetically. Hangul gets closer, in a way. It seems hard to make rhymes with words like 'reprise'
