How are you considering that such disqualifies you from ever sitting in a jury box? Are you thinking more in the general principle that your bias would prevent you from being impartial, or more that it would be rooted out during voir dire,

This looks like this only traces the original Unix and the BSD lines. I assume that's because that's what the sources are available for. It would be cool to see what came from the SysV side of things over time, but, one would have

Not one of the original 3 execs reported, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're getting away with it. The SEC may well still be investigating the original 3. In my observation, law enforcement tends to keep quiet about on

I think you're splitting hairs. If someone is making an OS they claim is "Unix-like", then it isn't unreasonable for someone to expect that the code that compiles and runs on AIX, HP-UX, MacOS, Solaris, and OpenBSD will

Redox bills itself as a Unix-like OS. Seems to me Posix compliance, or attempting to get close to it would fall under being "Unix-like".

While I like the idea, I think there are presently cultural barriers in the way of that succeeding, mainly the Western view of IP vs the Eastern view of IP. Bunnie talks about it on his blog here: https://www.bunniestudios.com&#x

Reading this, it sounds like a collection of different attacks on different mechanism up and down the stack is at play in this article. It'd be useful to know which ones, though I acknowledge that the article is probably not targeted t

A note to mods: The original title of this article was "Containers: Just Because Everyone Else is Doing Them Wrong, Doesn't Mean You Have To". I rephrased the title to bring it under the character limit while attempting to re

The article mentions that this vulnerability affects Mac and Linux too. I'm curious how that's the case. DLLs, as i understand, are the Windows equivalent of shared libraries on Unix-like systems. Even if that's the case, the

Okay, I'm tempted now, partly out of a someone-might-be-wrong-on-the-Internet cussedness, and partly out of curiosity. By what metrics would you propose measuring how consistent the systems are or are not?

If I am correctly recalling a conversation I had with Gentoo founder Daniel Robbins on IRC a couple years back, Portage was originally intended as a tool for building binary packages, not necessarily the end-user package management. As for

I'm not surprised here to see comments here blaming them for using Gentoo in production, even though I argue that wasn't fully the cause of their outage. Hell, I use Gentoo on my personal boxen because I love it's package man

Those sound like reasonable objections. Are you posting them to the discussions involved in shaping and ratifying the proposed standard?

I believe I found them. I'll take a look and offer any comments I think are relevant.

So reading this, this attempts to standardize what I understood to be best practice last time I ran a mail server - TLS required for submission and access. I see this as a good thing. But this doesn't seem to touch on transmission betw

> "Give us a list of secret sites you don't want us to cover". This seems like a non-starter to me. If the gov't hands out an accurate list, they've given out the secret and it's no longer under their contro

I'm reminded of another copyright issue from around the last turn of the millennium -- player pianos. Now, strictly speaking, I don't think player pianos are quite analogous to videogame streaming. However, I think a good solution

That's fair and I'll concede that point.

Similar has been a setting element in other fictional works as well. Best example I can think of is ComStar, from the BattleTech universe [1]. Originally the Terran Hegemony's comms department, and later a neutral corporation, it morph

As I recall, Obamacare didn't do much, if anything, to decouple health plans from employment. If anything it made it more tightly coupled, by mandating employers with more than so many full-time employees provide health plans. The in

Indeed. To the degree that Dr Seuss' books had a sociopolitical moral, whether or not I picked up on it depended how old I was when I (re)read it and what i was aware of in the world at the time. I picked up on the environmental messag

I was surprised to learn that the book had been banned in some libraries, although in hindsight, perhaps I shouldn't have been. It would explain why I didn't know about the book until sometime in my late 20s. Reading it, it was im

I've encountered similar from people, though I don't recall getting hostility from my immediate family as a child. Rather, I was praised for being smart. Though it's not like that didn't lead to problems of its own. >
