Anything dealing with data integrity, for a start.

Dedup, yes--its usefulness is very limited, and it requires tons of RAM. If you need to ask, don't use it. If you don't need to ask, you already know not to use it. Compression, OTOH, is generally a net gain for performance, unless the desktop is running on a Pentium 3.

It will recover (transparently) it if you have enough redundancy (RAIDZ, a mirror, copies=n). Otherwise, you're right--it can't fix corrupt data out of thin air. What FS do you think can do this?

And honestly, there is no way I can merge any of the ZFS efforts until I get an official letter from Oracle that is signed by their main legal counsel or preferably by Larry Ellison himself that says that yes, it's ok to do so and treat the end result as GPL'd.

...but who was asking about merging ZFS into the kernel? It would be nice if he wouldn't go out of his way to break it (which he's done), but even that isn't so much the issue. And his broad statement to "Don't use ZFS. It's that simple." is simply irresponsible.

Explain to me exactly how your family becomes liable for loans they did not agree to--especially on your death, upon which federal student loans are forgiven anyway.

Yes, if it's a manufacturer's FFL (TFA didn't specify, but it seems to be the case from context), it does cover production of semi-automatic firearms as well as pump-action, bolt-action, revolvers, and most others. Machine guns are separate, being (as TFA notes) covered by the National Firearms Act, not the Gun Control Act. For right now, federally speaking, domestically-made semi-automatic firearms don't have any special or unique status. If Senator Feinstein gets her way, of course, that will change, but it's the case currently.

Simply put, you thought wrong. It also is not illegal to attempt suicide in the United States. If you attempt suicide, you can expect to be locked up, but that won't be because you broke the law--it'll be for your protection, and you'll be "locked up" in a hospital. And generally, that will be for no more than a few days.

Suicide is not a form of murder (murder by definition is the killing of another person, with certain other elements), nor is it illegal in any of the United States. Assisting someone else to commit suicide is illegal in most states, but suicide itself is not.

I suspect the poster you're replying to is actually talking about the money transfer services like Western Union, not true bank wire transfers. Wire transfers have to go into a bank account, and the ownership of that bank account is known (by the receiving bank, at least, if not by the sender). They're not used very often in the U.S., though, because they tend to be expensive--$25 to send, and $15 to receive, seem to be common fees, though they can vary.

You're right, you can't be sued for libel in the U.S. for that. You can, however, be sued on one of the invasion of privacy torts (publication of private facts, most likely). Just because it's true doesn't mean that you have absolute license to print it.

That's why most banks will require a personal guarantee from the owners of a small corp/LLC.

No, the "merits" had already been decided--due to Spamhaus' default (for whatever reason, they didn't properly argue to the court that they weren't subject to its jurisdiction), e360 had already "won" on the merits. The only question remaining was how much harm they had suffered from Spamhaus' actions--and since they didn't produce any appropriate evidence on that subject, they were awarded $3.

Spamhaus almost certainly would have won on the merits, if they had competently argued them. Alternatively, they probably would have gotten the case dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction, if they had competently argued that. As it was, they didn't competently argue anything until it was too late to avoid judgment against them.
