Some such instances could conceivably be a simple market correction, too. Some localities particularly entangled by the housing bubble could have had inflated tech salaries as part of general market/cost-of-living forces.

I'm sorry, I'm not at all sure how to respond to this comment. It aligns not at all with the world I experienced between 2000 and 2009. From my viewpoint, each non-ME desktop/workstation iteration of Windows during that period -- 2000, XP,

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you saying every operating system Microsoft released after Win98SE and before Windows 7 was on the same level as ME? Have you forgotten about 2000 and XP?

That is your own speculation, not established precedent, and I would argue UPS is now acting as an agent of the government anyway. So, again, what actual precedent exists to support rayiner's contention?

You could, but then you have multiple identifiers for the same object, and you end up having to decide "wait, which ID do I want here?", and during long nights when you're hopped up on five cans of Red Bull, the numbers start to run togethe

I suspect they were trying to make the data look reasonably nice for project creators. Your (not incorrect) solution has the downside of ever-increasing numbers quickly reaching into the millions or billions, while their solution has number

It may also have something to do with the fact that the first version of PostgreSQL to include replication did not emerge until late 2010. Prior to 9.0, it was logically impossible for PostgreSQL itself to have a "replication failure".

The operator is the one that sent the email. Who are you suggesting should have redacted his name before transmitting it? Magic fairies in the SMTP servers?

I don't disagree with your frustration at all, but there are some actual reasons the problem exists. Some of them are: * A public bug tracker is effectively a forum that must be policed for spam and other nonsense. * You are assuming too mu

> I also find a bit hard to believe that the nickname of an operator is enough to "derive a home address". An IRC nick is not a mask one hides behind. It is an alternative identifier for a real person whose other personal information

I know no safe driver with a monthly insurance premium in the "several hundred per month" range. Even fairly expensive cars rarely go much above $2k/year for full coverage.
