Yes. I remember the lawsuit.

This isn't a specific git problem. It's a windows problem.

I have source trees that I can't check out of an SVN server on windows because either the files get overwritten by different case filenames being aliased onto the same file or the file tree being to deep for windows.

>From my understanding CSIRO solved the key problems for microwave echo cancellation and invented the IC's that encapsulated the fast fourier transforms. Here is an article with a video if it is too long to read.

You mean OFDM? Try googling "who invented OFDM". It dates back to the 60s.
I am one of the authors of 802.11 and 802.16 that both use OFDM. So are many other Slashdot readers.

I find your ideas intriguing, and would like to subscribe to your social media RSS news twitpic feed.

People who don't make products have no clue how long it takes to make a product. Their attention span is always shorter. This is an example of someone complaining because their attention span is shorter than the development cycle.

So when the terrorists win, so does free speech?

Truth: some Linux distros have a "wheel" group.
Truth: this group is used as a list of people with elevated permissions
Truth: one of the elevated permissions often assigned to this group is the ability to become root, especially with sudo
Falsehood: all users on a Linux system are members of the "wheel" group
Falsehood: one can add oneself to the "wheel" group without having permissions already elevated above regular user status

tl;dr: someone misunderstands groups and called it a vulnerability

>This is one reason so many "American" companies are headquartered in Ireland.

But the primary reason is avoiding import tariffs into Europe, by residing in the most tax advantageous place in Europe (for a corp).

They did not, because the people who invented the relevant bits of Wi-Fi and brought them to the IEEE invented them before CSIRO did.

If you stop the wind all of a sudden, the turbine will continue to turn, causing wind, until the energy in the turbine is spent.

> That may be news worthy, but it deserves a more accurate headline: new statistical test can form confidence bounds for how unlikely a it would be for a new parameter to be of this magnitude if there were causation: when combined with existing test it may discredit more potential claims of causation than previously practical.

Bingo. You have won the internets.

An algorithm changes its behavior based on the value.

The example I gave is a sneaky algorithm in the FIPS spec that deletes consecutive values when they match.
I.E.
If this_value == last_value:
    don't output this_value
else
    do output this_value.

This is on the output of an RNG and so it reduces the entropy in the random numbers because there are no matching consecutive numbers, whereas in a full entropy stream, all pairs would be equally likely.

In the context of noise in statistical analysis, it can confound the additive noise models.

Algorithms that do things to data, but don't look at the values of the data when deciding what to do are not data dependent and so that limits the scope various bad things to happen.

TFA says the firing cost $25 Million.

NASA don't get out of bed for $25 Million.

With good reason.
