And here's the real problem with Fox News. It subverts the very idea of there being an objective truth in order to push its agenda. Obama's birth certificate is publicly available, copies have been displayed in multiple news sources, but the Birthers always require "one more level" of proof. Hey, it could have been forged, etc, etc. At some point you have to accept secondary sources unless you're doing the research yourself.

Let's say you had a uncaught labelling error on a source file (foo.c) when you create your baseline label. I know, you're checking for that, but just for the sake of argument, let's say it happened. With a /main/LATEST catch-all rule, you would be getting whatever version of foo.c happens to be /main/LATEST. When you run a build, you may or may not get an error, but you run the risk of introducing a bizarre bug in your build image, which could lead to many hours of debugging before you track it down to that source file being the wrong version. With a /main/0 catch-all rule, you will most likely get a compile error (since foo.c will be empty). Maybe not when foo.o gets generated, but rather at link time. Basically, you're better set up to catch the problem sooner.

But yes, you are correct that it should be the same. Using /main/LATEST can also be nice if you have areas that are not labeled and you want to get /main/LATEST for those other ares.

Actually, you can. fire the contractors or give them other jobs, tear up the policies and protocols, issue a big mea culpa and move on.

I was responding to your assertion that a five year old has the capacity to ignore scary, nightmare-inducing stimuli simply because it is "bad". You see, when something is disturbing, it is difficult for even an adult to ignore it.

A child does not have the defenses that an adult may possess. The world is already a scary place when you're less than four feet tall and there could very well be monsters under the bed. Some of the shit that is on broadcast TV would give him nightmares for the rest of his childhood. And I'm talking about stuff that is on before bedtime.

Now, as for you, DarkKnightRadick, you've demonstrated that you're just flamebaiting. Is this how you would talk to somebody in person? Grow up.

Personally, I'd rather not have to worry about my little boy being traumatized by graphic violence when we drop in to pick up a pizza.

You are oh, so very wrong.

Perhaps Verizon has different policies in different service areas, but for our service it is very clear that Verizon owns our Actiontec router. I had a good conversation with the tech when he installed our service. It's their router, but the customer gets administrative access to it. They also have the ability to get into it to update firmware, etc. At the time it scared me a little bit since Verizon could theoretically get in through their back door and start accessing stuff on my home network. I suppose they still could with a warrant. I almost added a second-level firewall because of it.

Anyway, the first router they gave me burned out last year. I called their support line and they overnighted a new router to me. The new router came, I installed it, followed their activation procedure, and sent the old one back to them in their pre-paid package. That's how a service provider acts when they own the equipment.
