Projects which have moved to another hosting provider are typically retained at SourceForge.net (though you can make a note on the project web site and project summary page directing users to the new home) for sake of retaining materials of historical value.
The problem is that SF does not allow project removal. I have a few projects that I hosted with SF in the early 2000s; years later I moved the projects to other places, but I cannot remove them from SF. Any project that has been "abandoned" is at their mercy.
They should have done this five years ago - the old nimble Google of 2001 would have quickly indexed Twitter and Facebook, and every other silo of information. It's only Big Corporate Google that can't acknowledge another source of information for some sort of ego-bruising related reason. "Index all the world's information... except if it's hosted by a company run by that guy down the street who drives that ridiculous 918 Spyder".
Twitter messages used to appear in Google's real-time search, but after Twitter chose not to renew their agreement in 2011, Google started to follow Twitter's rel=nofollow instructions. So it's more like the guy down the street who drives that Spyder told Google to go take a hike and they complied.
Fritzing is an open-source hardware initiative. They offer a free software tool to layout professional PCBs (and PCBs can be ordered from within the software).
Also in March 2015, the parents of a young child suffering from brain cancer, whom Gibson had befriended, came forward to report that they had been unaware that Gibson had earlier been claiming to be fundraising for their child's treatment on their behalf. The family stated they had not known about Gibson's claim to be charity fundraising on behalf of the child, and the family had never received any funds from her or TheWholePantry. The family suspected Gibson had been using information gleaned from the family's experiences to underpin her own claims to having brain cancer.
With OS X, you (as an administrator) can decide whether you want to allow apps downloaded from 1) Mac App Store, 2) Mac App Store and identified developers, 3) Anywhere. I don't use Windows but I could imagine MS taking a similar approach.
The medium does not need to survive a fire when you distribute the risk. Unless you are afraid that both the bank and your house/office burn down at the same time. In that case, store a few more encrypted optical discs at various friends' or relatives' places.
0) Cisco would need to be sure that none of their staff is actually infiltrated and working for a TLA. Which I find hard to believe considering the importance.
"That guy" is Eric Meyer, and his blog post might have become a "thing" because he is rather known in the field. I'm not specifically addressing this to LaurenCates, but rather those that gave Meyer some flak here on/. at the time: read both the original post and a second post. He didn't knock the developers and designers at Facebook, but after having gone through the worst that a parent can have to go through, he tried to "increase awareness of and consideration for the failure modes, the edge cases, the worst-case scenarios" in the industry. I've been reading his posts for a long time, he's a level-headed, active guy not prone to whining.
You are right. Most people apparently don't push hard enough when performing their first CPR, I guess that's what our instructor meant when he said that broken ribs (as a result of CPR by non-professionals) are usually caused when pressure is not applied to the sternum from the top. Nonetheless, he continued to underline the importance of a timely help, no matter how small, even if not performed perfectly or professionally.
The instructor also touched all of the other points you raised (including the first round of CPR). For the better part of the day he covered what to do when no AED is available and you are on your own with a patient. I really liked this class. None of us is a pro after a day-long course, but it really conveyed the message that even us lay people can make a difference until the trained professionals arrive.
In Italy it is now obligatory for sports clubs to have an AED and certified people who can use it. I took a day-long CPR/AED class just two weeks ago, together with other members of our club. The device is actually really easy to use - press a button, listen to the directions, place the pads and hope for the best. But when the machine can't produce a shock (for the reasons outlined by QQBoss above) one still needs to perform CPR, and that's what the biggest part of the course was about.
I second QQBoss and encourage everyone to take a First Aid/CPR/AED class. You can't do anything wrong - once a person is unconscious and is not breathing normally, it is just a question of time before they completely shut down. By acting immediately and administering First Aid until the cavalry arrives you can help raise their chances of survival and minimize possible collateral damage and recovery time. Should you crack a person's rib during CPR you were probably doing it wrong, but the fact that they are able to complain means that you have contributed to saving their life (and in many countries/jurisdictions you are protected by Good Samaritan law).
Make it into the US version of Takeshi's Castle and have the wannabe perpetrators pay an entrance fee. Whoever makes it to the innermost circle is allowed to play a round of cardboard-tank-with-mounted-water-gun against 2 members of the POTUS' security detail. Also, make sure the web-streams are pay-per-view, the nation has a deficit to cover!

How quaint!

That won't allow you to rename class A's method shout() to whisper() while keeping class B's method shout() as is it.
There is a thing to be said for editors and shell scripts, but when code reaches a certain level of complexity a full-flexed IDE has its place.

Don't worry, can happen. I'm sure Sigmund Freud would have an explanation for this.
TFS could have gotten her name right in the title, though.
What an unscrupulous being:

He simply had the stonemason add a few blocks with parity information.

Also, by splitting up TFA it would result in two manageable articles (about the size of TFS) for those with attention impairments.

Transferring 100 TB @ 100 Mbit/s would take about 12.5 days
1TB == 1048576 Mb
1TB = 8e+6 Mb (Mbit). Transferring 1TB at 100Mbit/s takes about 23:18 hrs (overhead excluded), so 100TB would take more than 97 days.
If you were a billionaire you would probability be in the same country club as those turkeys and have a vested interest in the mater.
I don't know why a billionaire would be interested in the turkeys' mother but hey, whatever floats your boat.
