So that people can plug the controller in and use it without having to compile their own driver?

its not a $1k fee for internet, ever

Not everyone at the hotel is staying in a room at the hotel.

Do they hold business conferences there? Our company sends me to man the sales booth at conferences/expos all the time, and the hotels charge us ridiculous rates. I haven't gotten to $1000 yet, but the last one was at a Radisson which had a $150 "setup fee" plus $80/day per device for a two day conference (I expensed $20 to turn on my sprint hotspot for a month to run our demonstration ipad and ipod touch).

the HIPAA EDI transaction codes are X12 837 (claim/encounter transactions), X12 270 and 271 (eligibility inquiries and responses), X12 276 and 277 (claim status inquiries and responses), X12 278 (referrals and prior authorization transactions), X12 835 (health care payment and remittance information), and X12 275 (health claims attachments).

Huh. Which of those do I use to order a CBC? Which one sends a history and physical to the hospital? Which one does the MRI machine use to send me the picture of your brain? (trick question!)

Everyone's been using these transactions for years, but they are not relevant to the issue being discussed here.

Nice try, but we all know that it all depends on what the meaning of "is" is. I did not have sexual relations* with that woman.

Could be worse, they could have named it Windows One.

Squeeze was the first version to default to dash.

I'm pretty sure I was asked when upgrading to Squeeze if I wanted to make it the default, but the question may not have been a high-priority one so debconf could have been configured to skip it.

Apache HTTP server using bash as a CGI to process requests

Or any webserver using any CGI that calls system() to execute anything in a computer where the system shell is bash.

aka yourself

Or against github.

I had to use a certain brand of detergent or specific equipment in my imaginary dry cleaning business, or that I couldn't charge an extra 5.99 for express cleaning service or 2.99 delivery fee

Of course, of course. But you know, that $7.99 "throw that other guy's laundry in the trash so you can do yours right now" fee, that's over the top.

While laziness and not wanting to wait 5 extra seconds for number crunching are certainly a factor, I've got customers who are paranoid that we might pull one over on them and retroactively change the data so when they go back to last quarter's numbers they won't be the same.

I set up a cronjob to wget the dashboard weekly, feed it to html2pdf, and email the result to the stakeholders.

When using the wrapper, apache spawns the fastcgi server on the first request if it is not already running.

It's not being passed in as usual data, it's being passed in as environment variables, most programmers ignore all the variables that are not relevant to their program (which is usually all of them).

If the process a) is a bash script itself

If you're using fastcgi with a wrapper script (the recommended configuration for mod_fcgid+PHP), it's time to check the wrapper script. It should not need to be a bash script.

FCGIWrapper /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-wrapper .php

I wonder if there would be a way with https to store an encrypted mail

Short answer: No.
Long answer: SSL makes use of a temporary session key that is calculated between the client and the server at the time of the connection. Once the connection is over that key is (ideally) destroyed. If the email was encrypted with my session key when I sent it to the server (and somehow not decrypted by the server at this point) your session key that you create when you connect to the server won't do the job.

This is what S/MIME is for. The email body (and optionally some headers) is encrypted with a session key which is encrypted with your public key (rather than the server's key). Then it is sent through regular email channels. You receive the email and decrypt the session key with your private key, and use it to decrypt the message.
