   I'm not the person you asked, but I share their opinion because JS and websockets do not appear to have any obvious relationship or applicability to IRC.

   I think they're asking for a lot of the same trouble they've already had with government regulations, only this time they're without the "it's just people renting out their own spare room" defense.

   You do yourself and your argument no favors by being willfully dishonest. From the very same speech: "Congress will pass some bills I cannot sign. I’m pretty sure I’ll take some actions that some in Congress will not like. That’s natur

    Why not unset the execute bit on the motd shell scripts? I seem to recall that being the solution for disabling motd in Ubuntu (at least it was a few years ago when I did it.)

    Is it a con, though? I don't know much about DAO but everything I've read recently suggests that this situation, at the very least, is a lot more nuanced.

    Are we sure that case sensitivity is the culprit? As others have noted, the function being called takes (and is given) 3 arguments but the function that is supposed to be called takes only 2.

    Biometrics are good replacements for usernames, but not for passwords. Biometrics can't be changed in the event of a breach, and can be taken from you surreptitiously or by force.

    The article is highly misleading in this respect. The restrictions are contractual and imposed upon Pfizer's distributors/resalers. State governments must also certify that purchases won't be used for executions. Likely the o

    The "for Linux" part is their hedge, I think. I recall Microsoft forced a project known as "Ultimate Windows Boot CD" to change its name to "Ultimate Boot CD for Windows".
