At some point, having a server (like Linode) becomes well worth it. As long as you have a network connection, you can connect to your one development box.

If they refused to ship things because any given random brown box might somehow be against some law somewhere, they wouldn't still be in business. On the other hand, this machine, and the activities endorsed by its creators are demonstrably not illegal.

You're right, I remember reading that FedEx Ground now operates as independent operator contractor / broker. Still, if a train / roller coaster at Disney qualifies as common carrier, I find it difficult to believe that service offered by FedEx Ground d/b/a/ FedEx (Green Ex, not Red Ex--that's some significant distinction) could reasonably escape common carrier status even though it sure as hell checks all of the other boxes.

FedEx (non freight) is a common carrier. They actually do not have arbitrary authority to discriminate against what items they convey; hazardous, unreasonably heavy or bulky cargo, etc. not withstanding. If there is no law against the transport of some item, and it fits into their rate schedule and service area, they should be obligated to perform their service.

> The short story is that Maxtor was the first to have a Marketing department take advantage of that, knowing full well most people see MB and assume powers of 2.

Then most people are stupid. Stop trying to bastardize the SI prefixes for your hard drive edge case, in every other measure Mega is a base 10 power, not base 2.

It's not normal use that's the issue, it's overuse.

Community developers write useful things then get hired by the WMF to work on stuff nobody wants.

So wait, I guess not like MediaWiki.

Can be sure as shit that Kim isn't going to part with his money to defend him even if he didn't have his own case to worry about.

They didn't tip anything. All of this is pretty obvious investigation methods. Mouse wigglers and other tools to keep laptops and desktops powered and unlocked while you move them have been around for a long time.

Rusty treated OpSec as suggestions instead of law.

So, are you just going to tease us, or do we get to see some of your fanciful creations? :)

> Compound this with the fact that they kick out "any password used by you or anybody else *ever*" as a password change, which makes it absolutely clear that they store all passwords in plaintext, and I'm not really impressed with those jokers either.

No, no it doesn't. You dont need to know what the source text was to do a digest comparison.

They later went bankrupt. OFC it's Dailyfail, so take it with a grain of salt.

Unless you're Orin Hatch

> If there was *any* hope that this herb could treat that sickness where money could be made selling it, big pharma would have snapped it up and sold it under FDA rules as a drug, even over the counter

If it's a natural herb they can't get the patent. If they can't get the patent, they can't get a monopoly. If they can't get a monopoly, they can't make profit.
