The document in question (did anyone actually read the document that the blog refers to, not just the blog itself...or maybe even that much is charitable) clearly applies to those who have security clearances. And while it is a little bit excessive, it is not entirely inappropriate in that case to mention a word of concern to the person in question's security officer.
There are lots of people who don't meet these requirements (myself included) and don't get a security clearance; or at least not much of one.
Actually, the combination of extra hard disk arrays and a snapshots mechanism, so you can keep the differences for years online, is more reasonable. Those systems aren't quite mature yet, but they're getting there.
I just wanted to comment on your mention of the Rio Car (Empeg). It's widely considered, especially from the empeg team itself, that without the cash infusion and such, they probably would have had to quietly go away long ago. Some the of the restrictive features about copying from the empeg have been lifted in recent versions of software, so, I can't really say that's a bad thing.
They needed to release a new product version, and it didn't appear that it was going to be profitable enough, so they decided to leverage the empeg software in other areas.
It's pretty safe to assume that there's *some* local root exploit the admin has missed. Even the best can miss them, and new ones are found all the time.
Also, you can add your regular login to the "disk" group, as they suggest, to be able to not run it as root. Obviously, you can play with the perms any way you see fit...

Or, they could have simply approached the adults quietly, pointed out the flaws, worked with them in a process to get them fixed...
Making fools of people will never do anything good for you.
Heck, I even wrote the editor with the correction.
I don't think you're old enough to wear pants yet. Please try again next year.
Professionals get overtime? That's news to me.

You know, when you're flying above the earth, things *do* look like little models.
Woulod be nice, but I'm pretty sure that the source for many of the ultimas, and 7 in particular, is lost.

Do you really just stuff bills willy-nilly into your wallet? I can't imagine that.
Note that he's not saying you can use a newer version. Please, read more carefully.

Please refer to the spec, ID3v2, rather than some notion about an ancient ad-hoc version.
It might actually be a reference to the excellent album by DJ Shadow, Endtroducing
Obviously, you don't realize that many authors write novels in the same way. Different people work in different ways.
You're neglecting the possibility of using the involved capital to make a higher percentage profit elsewhere.
As far as I can tell, that has always been the de-facto definition.

Not only is it funny, but it speaks the truth.
Peter Braam did not write Coda. He was hired to do work on the Linux port. I remember when he was hired. And you claim you're from CMU...
Some people don't use slashboxes...they take up valuable space.
It's really not as interesting as you might think, with the weak floating point unit...
