Maybe not anymore but at the time SCO was laying off employees (2007), there were a bunch of posts saying how whatever person/company wouldn't be hiring them or in general that they wouldn't get hired. It probably had an effect on some of t

Mine was not in the list. It's also possible this isn't the entire file. I was also able to recover 225129 other passwords with a wordfile and some Python based on truncated and full hashes.

I used their language after reading terms on their site. They mention "establishing a connection" and outline terms their "protected" terms and logos. It may as well be an overreach but it seems they're an effective bully and the choices wo

You'd still create an association between your ad and London 2012 in addition to using the term 'London 2012'.

The effect of a driverless car isn't necessarily that it drives itself. It's a car that's aware of its surroundings and provides feedback to the driver. Mercedes already implemented collision avoidance, driverless car can potentially preven

Because the classes are designed for people who want to take various tests, keep score, track progress and participate in discussion. I think downloadable video files are floating somewhere, not sure about lecture notes, etc.

I guess if anybody is to confirm that it's in fact a circus, it'll be the TSA themselves. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

It's hard to take the ads seriously or to discover things that I don't already know from somewhere else. Having said that, I do follow a couple of products and it's a bit more convenient to see what they're doing in my stream than look for

You can get slides in PDF/PPT and it looks like subtitles are coming but you're right, the video is a bit annoying.

They have an API and devs need API accounts. I don't know much about dating sites but I'm guessing they don't have APIs because exposing the type of data they store would be pretty creepy.

It's a bit strange that they can do that. FBI didn't have a problem grabbing Core IP/Croydon equipment when they investigated the Paypal attacks couple years ago, but here, they somehow can't find some legal justification to force Cogent/Ca

And yet it took 2 years of law enforcement work to investigate that notoriety. I have easier time finding infringing (or is it?) content on Youtube than I ever had on Megaupload but you won't see them ever going down the same way. Agreed, h

It now appears that the seller did get the violin authenticated. From a brief search, it looks like eBay had to pay large sums multiple times for selling counterfeit goods. $2500 violin, as sad as it is, is small fries. It seems that it's c

The reason I said that isn't entirely because of the TOS but also because of the cost and logistics. Various courts could potentially decide that such clause isn't legal.

That's really shitty. It would be interesting to know what sole discretion or reasonable belief constitutes. I doubt ebay/paypal sent experts to 'investigate', they more likely said "If you, the buyer, believe it's counterfeit because of &#

Polish equivalent of USPS has, still until 2013, a monopoly on delivering mail weighing up to 50g at some low price, 1.55 pln i think, while private delivery companies would have to charge 2.5x that. So they attach metal plaques or small no
