One positive thing we can say about the press is they finally dropped the "have you ever done drugs?" question this year. every other election they have played this to death. Did Clinton inhale, did Bush do drugs, etc, on and on. This year not a peep. I wonder why?
I think what makes Fox "fair and balanced" is that for the most part the commentators announce their bias. That way you can take what they say with a grain of salt. I personally think this is a much more honest way to present political news.
The other networks, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc, do not make the political views of the commentators known. For the most part it is known or implied, but not announced. So uninformed viewers that only pay attention during the election cycle think they are seeing "unbiased reporting".
I don't think there is such a thing as unbiased reporting. Any intelligent person is going to be biased, i.e. have an opinion. If someone is truly not biased then it just means to me they are not very bright.
McChocolateCake is food, McHammer is not likely a food, so would not be a problem.
Its not a random city followed by 4 digits it is the name of an event and is being used to discuss the said event. If the guy had the domain since '96 and he lived on 2016 Some Street in Chicago and had used the domain to host a site for personal or business use not related to the Olympics he might have a case. But he would most likely still lose.
Part of the false sense of security is believing that a CA signed cert makes the site secure. It does not. Anyone can get a CA signed cert that causes no browser warnings with no verification as to their actual identity.
Also I could set up a site running red hat version 2.0.2 with no patches and open telnet port and store everything in plain text files still get a valid CA signed cert.
SSL is just a way to encrypt traffic and nothing more.
They don't have any additional security. The possible value of a CA signed cert was squandered years ago when CA's starting selling certs with no verification other than an email address. There are lots of sites with valid signed certs that are used for phishing scams.
The only thing the new warnings are doing is putting money in the pockets of the established CAs, nothing more.
It is just as easy to break the window of my car and steal my cigarettes and it is have you computer lie and say it is an ipod. Why shouldn't just asking be enough? I think legally and technically it is.
How well protected something is does not mean it is more or less moral or legal. All that is required is you understand that you are allowed or not. It is basically an honor system as are almost all laws. It is not up to law enforcement to catch people to prevent crime. that is just a cross check. It is up to people to not commit crimes.
"Has anyone convinced their superiors that the customer isn't always right and saying no once in awhile is the best course of action?"
Good luck with that one. Successful technology companies use pie in the sky marketing. Reality does not sell. When you are not saying yes I can do it faster and better then you are whining as far as CEOs are concerned.
I have a great career and made lot of money writing crappy code. My bosses have always loved it because I am fast to produce an end result. I call it prototyping and constantly remind my employer that I am creating a demo of what can be done. But in the end the demo always goes into production. I have seen several programmers much better than I get fired because they could not bring themselves to lower standards. I guess I'm just a code slut.
The kids who grew up on the original trilogy (like me) were too young to care about bad acting and poor scripts. There were cool spaceships and we liked the goofy characters such as c3po. When the second trilogy started we were now older and didn't like goofy characters (jar-jar) and bad acting, i.e. the special effects are no longer enough.
Definitely. Take the Garth Brooks version of Shameless. It is the only Garth tune I have ever really liked. It is written by Billy Joel. It was a huge country radio hit. If that song were released in 1970 it would have been considered hard rock. Garth also did a cover of Hard Luck Woman by kiss. There is nothing country about his version.
I would say that in America the vast majority of Christians do not take the stories in the bible literally. The people you describe who believe in the literal interpretation of the bible are a very small and shrinking minority. I can tell you that during my lifetime I have seen a dramatic decline in fundamental Christians.
from TFA "CentOS is RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), after all, just packaged under a different name, and without any references to Red Hat. That means you can install applications for RHEL on a CentOS server without any incompatibilities, and all RHEL updates are applicable to CentOS as well. Obviously, no support contracts are available for CentOS, but that's the draw for many Linux veterans - the familiar Red Hat distribution, including updates, without the onus of having to purchase a support contract that is never used."
So they are giving the award to CentOS because it doesn't come with support. Thats a new twist on a product award.
How about CentOS, see the thread about CentOS vs RHEL. I mean CentOS is just a direct copy of the Red Hat product. If anything the award is just a dig at Red Hat which if not an advertiser is a potential advertiser.
I don't think the ends justify the means and I think they should be stopped. I am just saying that from my experience what they are doing is working.
I find it hard to believe that file sharing has increased. At least average Joe is no longer sharing his entire catalog like many people were a few years ago. I don't know how the traffic is measured our where to get any good stats. I am just going on the habits of the people I know that are average consumers.
me too, but the sad fact is that honor systems never work. The vast majority of people got everything they could possible download and gave away copies to anyone who wanted it.
I even saw a guy post on a previous article that it was alright to copy (and listen to) an album because he would never buy it, so the artist/company didn't lose any money on it. The fact is that if buying were the only option, he might well have bought it. He has no way of knowing if he would have bought it, because he can rationalize to himself that it is ok to get a free copy.
This is just Collateral damage. It sucks, but in the real world people only respond to severe efforts. If the RIAA were not taking this overreaching severe action then file sharing sites would be as rampant as the the days of the original Napster. I don't agree with or like their methods, but they are working. I don't know anyone who shares files at this point. 5 years ago it was a different story.
Is it a violation in the first place? You don't have to provide the source code by default. If you ask them for the source and they don't provide it then you have a violation. I don't think the GPL has a nag clause where you have to advertise that you are using the GPL like the BSD license does.
So from the summary I don't see where there is a violation, just a misunderstanding of the author.

why wouldn't you just kill it at the registrar? That seems the only logical place to kill a domain name, DNS shouldn't even matter.

"Do I get sued for giving a friend of mine a copy of a CD that he was never going to buy, anyway"
What a stupid argument. How do you know if he was going to buy it? Once you give him a copy it is impossible to know if he would ever have bought it.
I don't think the ends justify the means and I think they should be stopped. I am just saying that from my experience what they are doing is working.
