There's no real evidence that they did. I get phishing attempts all the time claiming to be about my account on banks I don't do business with. When you send out millions of phishing mails, you can just pick a bank at random. Some of your targets will have accounts with that bank.
That would be true, except for one little difference you can't fix: You're not running apt on prod at the same time you ran it on test. Unless you're working from a private package repository that you froze before running apt on test, you can't say prod will retrieve the same package versions when you run apt on it. You can certainly do it that way, and in a large installation it has a lot to recommend it, but if you're not that big, it's just simpler to apt-get test from the public repositories and then copy the packages to prod when you're ready to promote.
"nearly here". No other words can strike such fear into the heart of a production system sysadmin. How about something that's seen production use for years, instead?
That's a case for having apt on the test server, not the production server.
Come to think of it, you'd have apt on the production server solely because you don't want it to look different from the test server, but you'd still never use it, instead simply copying the package changes from the test server.
If your custom apps required you to install a package, it'll already be listed as manually installed, so it'll never be automatically uninstalled.
Not if the required package was already installed because a third package that required it and correctly specified it was installed. Uninstall that package, which seems to be utterly unrelated to your custom app, and BOOM, custom app breaks.
It's a truism that you get your Nobel 20 to 30 years after the groundbreaking work that earned it. After all, they couldn't give it to you back then, 'cause back then it was going to the people who earned it 20 to 30 years before *that*.
training 1.5 million young adults to kill effectively almost guarantees the shit will hit the fan regularly.
Actually, you can guarantee the shit will hit the fan regularly regardless. It's always happened; there's no reason to think it won't continue to do so. It's the nature of the world. Having an effective military just means you can cope with it when it does.
When the brand you're requiring is the brand you sell, I'd say it's quite comprehensible. It does the owner of the machine no good, but one can easily see how the writers of the driver think it'll do lots of good for them.
The Twilight Zone spawned a lot of great imitators in the 80's and 90's. My favorite was Friday the 13th. They carried the torch for presenting bizarre concepts that stretched your mind. My favorite was a woman from our modern times that gets drawn back in time to the Puritan era. When she lights up a cigarette with a BIC lighter they say she is a witch - "She make fire without flint nor tinder." Great show.
There are those who call her...Tim?
But the real question would have to be, does she weigh the same as a duck?
Actually, yes. The PS2 had standard USB ports, that you could plug any standard USB peripheral in, when none of its competitors had any such thing (the original XBox actually had USB ports for its controllers, but Microsoft changed the physical shape of the plug for apparently no reason other than to make sure you couldn't use standard USB peripherals on it). The PS used standard CD-ROMs. The PS2 uses standard CD-ROMs and standard DVD-ROMs. The PS3 uses standard BluRay discs. The Dreamcast, the Gamecube, the Wii, the XBox, the XBox 360--they all use proprietary nonstandard disc formats.
Sony are idiots for thinking this would work, but they're not total idiots; they're hedging their bets. That's why the old UMD-equipped PSP is not being pulled from production right now. It'll be pulled only if and when they see the Go having adequate sales. Right at the moment, given the reception the Go is getting, I'm not too worried about the UMD-equipped PSP going away.
It's unlikely that IBM's pricing strategy will cause competitors to lower fees for their offerings, according to Cain. For one thing, Microsoft already has a $2 per month Exchange Online option called "Deskless Worker," Cain noted.
Referring back to the "Diskless Workstation", I can already see what this is going to get nicknamed as...
Wiring up a house to have the same effect is expensive
Cable runs with good-looking and unobtrusive molding do not cost that much and are easy to run along where the ceiling meets the wall. Unless you're actually running a data center, you only need to run a single Cat 5 to each point needing connectivity; that's what switches are for (and you can get a good switch dirt cheap).
and then you are still tethered.
Because once you have WiFi, the power cord doesn't tether you at all! Note that I'm not arguing against WiFi for actually mobile devices--I have WiFi in my own apartment. I'm using it to type this post on this laptop right now, and I also use it for my handheld game consoles. But if you're already tethered, you might as well go with the speed, security and reliability of having a wire.

Yes, but you have to know what an invisible ring looks like.
A better headline would've been, "NASA Discovers Previously Unknown Ring Around Saturn"
And every once in a while, the research turns up that what you "knew", in fact, isn't so. That's when things get interesting.
Start by complaining to Apple: "I'm a Mac." "And I'm a PC".

Exactly. I suspect it is only evidence of Scientology's ability to stuff a ballot box.

Colonels are even worse.
Ahhh, cyberscrew this. I'm gonna go get some cyberlunch. Anybody up for some cyberpizza?

...we'll call it eLotusLive iNotes. Dot com.
BTW, you meant "cue".
If Apple successfully patents this, it'll be harder for other people to do it. Why is this bad, again?
Definitely need the sign. Just saying, "I'm not dead yet. I'm getting better...," doesn't do the trick.
So this was NSF Work?
