Yes, but they have to give credit back. Better than nothing - people can follow the trail.

Oh wow, that is an improvement. Their issue UI used to be pretty bad. I'm glad they've improved it so much. Might be time to re-evaluate using it.

I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with other aspects of Ubuntu as well. Unity was just the last straw.

While it's taken flack for Gnome Shell, I switched to Fedora when Unity was coming down the pike and have been very happy (and actually like Gnome Shell). And the Gnome people seem to have gotten at least some of the message gurkendoktor me

A while ago, Tracfone's web site had a rather disappointing bug. Both the account registration and login flows did password validation, and used different validation functions. The result was that I could create an account with a password

In some fields, I think this may have huge impact. No math or CS journal would want to be unable to accept Princeton publications. Even if publishers make exemptions rather than change their policies, it sets a precedent that exemptions ca

I would remain suspicious if there was any identifying or unique information in cookies after logout. Ideally, logout should delete all cookies.

No - that's not how things work in *BSD systems. On Linux distributions, all software is typically "equal" - everything is a package, and the only difference is what repository it comes from. In BSD, the base system and ports are entirely d

Yes, the President can issue orders to them. But if those orders countermand the direction and mandate the patent office receives from congress as interpreted by the courts, the executive branch has overstepped its authority. Such an order

IANAL, but I don't think the executive branch has the authority to do what the petition is asking. The patent office merely interprets what Congress and the courts tell it - while there is some interpretational discretion, I don't think it

Could it be that the "fear-mongering" and subsequent outrage is a major reason why we didn't have this kind of lock-down 5-10 years ago? I thing mjg's wait-and-see approach is good to do. Not panic yet. But certainly not to forget either -

Not SSL > 1.0 - TLS > 1.0. Big difference. TLS 1.0 is roughly the security era of SSL 3.0, perhaps even newer.

I've been watching AeroFS for a few months now, and it is a fascinating product that almost meets my needs. Just a few things keep me from using it, some of which I can't quite put my finger on enough to turn in to real feature requests on

In part: because the U.S. cell ecosystem has severe problems, and eliminating an independent competitor (particularly on GSM) sets us back rather than moving us towards an affordable, sane wireless economy.

There's a huge difference between have never used and will never use . Microsoft's data is about past usage; the article makes an unjustified extrapolation from that to future message. This extrapolation is particularly relevant when di

Assuming the usage data is from Windows 7, the nonexistent usage of menu is probably largely because the menu is entirely hidden unless you know that hitting 'alt' brings it up. And that is a much newer hidden feature (Win7 era, maybe Vist

I would bump up compilers to their own level. Implementing intepreters is cool. But the key value of studying compilers is that it provides you with the tools to build robust, extensible input processing (and, to a slightly lesser extent, d

In my experience, OpenJDK has fewer bugs - at least the ones I care about. Like Swing making bad assumptions about the WM, including that only a small fixed number of window managers are tiling (OpenJDK works on XMonad, Java 6u21 does not).

I think it would be very difficult to do this without running afoul of antitrust law.

The pictures in the article show an old IBM-style computing facility, the domain of the sages in white robes who tend the machine. This raises two questions in my mind: 1. Have hackers and the hacker culture risen in importance and influen
