I started on RedHat, because it was the major distro at the time. Then because of the controversial RHEL/Fedora split, I switched to Slackware. The RHEL/Fedora split was a non-issue, but once I tried Slackware, I realized it was so much better, I never went back to Redhat.

My friend went to Gentoo around the same time. He never wanted to go back to Redhat either, for similar reasons.

How is that possible? Practical TV broadcasts didn't begin until years after the January 1, 1923, cutoff for the Copyright Term Extension Act. And U.S. copyright law allows state copyright in sound recordings to continue until 2067.

Nothing plays VP8 codec in MP4 container either.

A lot of geographic areas don't have a second provider other than satellite and cellular. In most cases,* switching from a provider with a 150 GB per month cap to a provider with a 10 GB per month cap (source: exede.com) isn't a good idea. Nor is moving to a different town.

* Watch someone come up with an edge case.

I know how to engineer complex things. I looked at the eventual fix, and it should have been done long ago.

Furthermore, if regression tests are important (and they are), they need a suite of automated tests so those things aren't all being done manually.

Finally, it's not like the glibc team traditionally avoids breaking things.

Privately recorded videos fall under the conditions of the ticket granting admission to said insignificant local games. If said conditions include an assignment of copyright in any privately recorded video to the league, it could produce the situation you describe. But such conditions would not apply to, say, recording your kids playing soccer at a public park because nobody owns the exclusive rights to the sport of soccer itself. A video game publisher's copyright is different because it affects your ability to broadcast game play even if you start your own league or even if the match is not associated with a league at all.

Cloud backup is great for a one-man show when all you back up is a handful of files.

If you have more than a few employees and have to back up terabytes of data and have custom applications which require a day or two minimum to install and configure and data in multiple places, and downtime costs you hundreds, thousands, or more per hour, cloud backup services quickly become an epic fail - plus you need to worry about bandwidth caps with crappy ISPs.

Other backup solutions become more important - for low-budget IT a handful of large external hard drives swapped out daily and taken off-site is a workable (if not ideal) solution, but the best solution is still a tape drive - and replace the tapes after a few rotations. Remember when downtime costs you significant money, having full backups with a rapid restore times becomes critical.

Ah, that actually makes sense, good analysis.

This sort of thing worries me about glibc, and the attitude that 'bugs are no big deal' is a dangerous one that is infecting software developers all over.

I don't know about Canada, but here in the States they have the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine that evidence from a constitutionally impermissible chain of investigation is inadmissible in court.

You probably already saw it, but Comcast is trying to weasel around it by calling them overages instead of caps.

That would require the head to be right over both tracks at the right moment. I'm not sure the heads are physically aligned that precisely. Or are you suggesting to separate the head assemblies for the top 3 and bottom 3 platters and do RAID 0 in a box?

lol let your mind go and imagine how many terms become legal terms by that definition. "She ______ on the Judges' _____ in his ____"

As with many things, some regulations are good, and some are bad (if that idea gives you problems, then you need to reconsider your life).

With taxis, we can clearly see two kinds of regulation:
1) Regulations that make customers (and drivers) safer and less likely to be ripped off.
2) Regulations that are designed to limit competition.

Obviously, we want to keep the first type of regulation, because they achieve good results. We want to reduce the second type, because they drive prices up for everyone and reduce quality.

But how would the host detect the redundancy if the guest operating systems use full disk encryption? The cipher modes they use are specifically designed to hide whether a sector is a duplicate of another sector.
