However, the renaming thing really ought to be a myth. (I.e. it makes no sense.)
All the robo-attacks against my webservers simply automate all known IIS exploits without even checking to see what web server software I run (3*Apache 1.x, 1*Apache 2.x, 3 'in house' products).
Thinking that identifying IIS as Apache protects you from IIS exploits is as stupid as thinking that spiritual cleansing protects you from white man's bullets.
You: What, is this some new legal principle? If you admit you did something you are somehow NOT guilty of doing it?
Let's not be a doofus, eh? I don't say he's not guilty, do I? If he pleaded insanity, then he would not presently be, legally, guilty until a trial had come to a guilty decision. However, he didn't, and thus, by virtue of his plea, guilty, he's now acknowledged to be guilty. Don't conflate guilt with culpability.
That's called a counter. You know -- integers starting from zero. I don't know if there's an international standard for counters, but there's certainly a/de facto/ standard for them.

OK, he's guilty, by plea. Fine of $5,000, and 30 days community service.
Next case please.
Oooh, the next case is for unwarranted bullshit, where the defendent allegedly bullshitted that damages in a legal case were $300000 whereas in reality they were 2 orders of magnitude lower.
Me and mates used to play 'skipping dare'. One person choses a stone and says "I can skip this, you can't". The other person either rises to the challenge and tries to skip it (just one will do), or declines, and hopes the first person fails. A point goes to whoever was right. Anyway, I once picked up an enormous discus (10-15kg I guess), and my mates declined, thinking I'd not be able to even throw the fucker. However, putting my all into it I launched the bugger, giving it some spin too, and it slapped the surface of the water, and bounced right up again. Hoorah, I'd won. However, it the proceded to do a second bounce. Now this thing was so _huge_ that there's no way in hell that it flipping over wouldn't be seen. It was funny, it was almost in slow motion. We were all completely sure after that that we understood what made stones bounce -- the perfect skim has no flip, we have concluded.
It's: a) presumed guilt rather than innocence. b) no fair trial; in fact, no trial at all. c) masquerading as a law enforcement official. (They undeniably masquerade, they undeniably indicate that what they're doing pertains to the law, they undeniably are demonstrably enforcing said law, and they undeniably pretend to be official in some respect)
The example given - the car lot attendant - what was to stop the RIAA from telling the real law enforcement authorities about him. It wasn't as if he'd be hard to trace.
Maybe because they are less precise or do not fully implement IEEE behaviour. There are 'fast math' libraries for various architectures which cut various corners and can be 2 or 3 times faster than the native libraries.
Me and my 3 mates got kicked out of a pub for trying to order 4 beers once. On the way out the door I wondered if changing my order to 12 pints would make them more want my custom, but it didn't.
Your link isn't normative, for reference, and I've always seen the plural of kelvin as kelvin. I can't find any examples in official documentation, but for example I can find examples of "zero kelvin" in NIST documents, and as we know zero takes the plural.
P2P simply means that both parties can act as both clients and servers. IRC for file trading is also peer to peer. Ignore the fact that the servers are called servers, you might as well call them hubs for all the serving they do in that context. e.g. when you CTCP TIME, the remote client is the thing that _serves_ the time to your local client. His client is your server, and when he CTCP FINGERs you back, your client is his server. That's what peer to peer is.
IRC, FTP, and NNTP File sharing on the web is pretty recent though there was some in the early 90s. IRC file trading was well established by then, and FTP goes way back. And of course NNTP would never have bloomed without the a.s.b hierarchy.

Agreed. FVWM (and saw{mill,fish}) is (are) about the highest functionality/bloat ratio I know of.
However, this story is about not features but, erm, a logo. It's a non-story. And I say that as someone who's used FVWM for about 5 of the last 8 years.
However, the story's here, I might as well take advantage of it. So, regarding the logos: a) I really couldn't give a fuck as long as it's not lame. b) It's not lame (feline, that is), far from it. c) Actually the quality of all the candidates was exceptionally high on the whole. I want to know what packages people used to design their entries.
