Debts don't simply "disappear" because a company goes out of business. And there already exist nondischargeable debts (like "criminal penalties, fines, and restitution", or "willful and malicious injury caused

It does when millions of people have similar anecdotes, and when the system is literally set up for it. Places can report whatever they want to. And you can dispute it, but the person who report it will just say "no, we're right&q

Set-UID (by itself, at least) is not a feature to drop privileges. On Linux, you must also use setresuid to set all ID's to the EUID. And then you must hope that you were able to execute setresuid before any vulnerabilities can be

You could also (ab)use the TEST-NET ranges as private address space.

While I agree that HTTP (and everything else) should support SRV records, they wouldn't do anything for IPv4 exhaustion.

Why would code detect a failure and then use a fake address to cause an error, instead of just erroring?

I would use instead the analogy of a car and a bike. And indeed society does cater toward the bike, in many places. But rather than any analogy, think about how many times more powerful a modern computer is than a computer from 2000. Now th

It helped digitize books... for Google. AFAIK they didn't release it to anyone else? Also, for a while they used it to determine street numbers for Google Maps.

Indeed; this also solves the problem of access control. Something like /tmp/notelectron.$EUID with umask 0077.

I don't disagree. Heck, all of the websites I maintain for work require JS (although to be fair I also control the requirements for users: the latest version of Firefox or Chrome). I do wish the cost of requiring JavaScript was higher,

Heavy use of resources IS a bad thing in and of itself (if it's not necessary for the task being done - I fully expect a game to eat up my CPU and GPU). We're not on DOS with only one application running at a time. If all my resou

It was developed from something that was based on Mach. However, it is also based on BSD, as your second link states. > The BSD code present in XNU came from the FreeBSD kernel. Although much of it has been significantly modified, code s

Well, yeah. There's a reason why built-in webcam covers / physical switches are much more prevalent on laptops oriented towards business/government users (cf Thinkpads).

Very few people "know" rsync's interface. Any time I want to do anything more than -avz, I have to look it up. A well-made GUI would mean that instead of looking up "what option or combination of options does this?"
