In this particular case, he was after transferring an employee of Oracle India who already had worked with the team (albeit remotely) and knew the systems involved, so arguably the pool of equally qualified Americans who weren't already employed by Oracle was probably pretty small.
From TFA, he is suing because he was (he alleges) sacked for asking to hire the Indian at a salary they would have offered one of the rest of the team and complaining when they wouldn't.
Given they haven't yet shipped all the kickstarter orders, I'm afraid it will be a while, although I did hear they were shipping some pre-orders in black, so perhaps not that long if you don't mind that colour.
Battery life is (for me) ~10days
Mostly, yeah most apps are silly on that screen*. However for what it is designed to do (which is basically act as a second display for notifications from your phone) it is fine.
$150 for a device that means I don't miss calls / txts when out because I didn't hear it go off / was listening to music at the time? Easily worth it. If you don't need that functionality? Then no; but then again that is true of any device.
Oh, and actually yeah, the hipsters do rather like the pebble, from the ones I've met. Heck, they (and a few geeks) are the only ones who know what it is when they see it.
*The one app I have installed is the google authenticator which is ideal for the form factor. I've not found / thought of another one.
zfs snapshots are much more akin to a block level version of rsnapshot.
lvm snapshots are more like zfs clones (although not quite, as even they are done Copy on Write (CoW).
don't forget the intent log -being able to recover from failed power issues is great, but unless you use a separate flash zil device, it ain't quick ('course, that assumes they are using sync'd writes).
I admit I am intrigued. Any pointers on where on the site to find these images / where to look for the docs? I've *mostly* migrated core server funcs to openindiana now, but there are a few things which it would be handy for.
not if the drive's serial number no longer matches.
plus the original xbox (don't know about the 360) used a little used feature of the ide spec involving a HDD password that was encoded into the bios - drive ignores any read/writes until someone transmits the correct code, making it somewhat difficult to dupe the drive
What the hell does a government think they are doing controlling a PUBLIC company? You want our products? Buy them. You don't want us to participate with your businesses? See ya.
As has been said above (and will probably be said below in various forms) - it cuts both ways. To rephrase that in line with your (mildly inflammatory) tone:
You want to sell in our country? Obey our laws. You don't want to obey our laws? See ya.
Unfortunately, it is awkward since its fairly hard to be a seriously large company these days without operating in both the states and in europe (q.f. the problems one company (I forget who) had when the Sarbanes-Oxley stuff came in, which contradicted French law, making it (at the time) technically impossible to continue).
Eh? more like under a minute actually. (couldn't see any particular speed figures, but assuming mars earth distance is ~5.5x10^10m, and assuming perfectly linear accel / deccel (which in space ain't that wrong I guess), you get a deltav of ~1.7x10^3ms^-2, now given his trip was only under 1.3x10^6m, using good old a level mechanics that gives you a time of just under 40s...*
*of course, this assumes vast amounts of stuff, including no air resistance and instant change from accel to deccel, but hey.
Apart from that ruddy blue shell. A couple of games with friends and that was enough to put me off playing it again. I mean, fine give better weapons / bonuses to the players at the back, but regularly simply bomb the guy in the lead with no recourse whatsoever? Meh.
Problem with using netbooks, its the clamshell. Its just awkward to open up and hold up in the places you would pull out a reader / phone.
Now a tablet form-factor netbook would be another story.

I'm not seeing the ambiguity in 'offline' - offline means exactly that, the system is not online (either its turned off or disconnected from the network).
And its real goal is not to protect against such errors (that is what the historical part of a backup like the incremental rsync you described is for). What it is for is protection against a hacker getting into your system and remotely erasing your backups along with your main system (q.f. the recent story re that site of flight sim stuff). Simply saying 'but the target box only exposes ssh/rsync' isn't good enough. All you need is one vulnerability and bang.
You could possibly make an argument in favour of a box which exposes no remote services at all and initiates the rsync itself to a partition explicitly mounted noexec, nosuid; but it is important to realise that that is simply managing the risk down (to ruddy near zero) rather than removing it.
Now for a home setup, its probably the most arguable of all the elements of a backup as to whether you need it. As with all these things, your level of paranoia determines this - I use something similar to what is described above. Yes, I am vulnerable to that type of attack potentially, but that a risk I have judged and made a call on. To think that approach is not at risk is dangerous.
well, in favour of it, most of the others are based around 'score at archiving'.
On the other hand, the title of the acheivement could be read to imply that those who have posted here simply to obtain the achievement have, indeed, been fooled.
Wrong. There are multiple producers here. You are looking at the wrong market - the market here is computer games, not a specific game. If 'half-life X' is too pricey (say), then people will go buy another fps instead.
Yes the charge rate is slower, but you need far fewer plugs - I've managed to get usb chargers for all my gadgets ( ds included ) and net result is I only need to manage one plug for the server. ( the number of usb cables is a different question, but they are much easier to manage ).
Actually some of my scripts run on linux ( a total of 7 different distro / major release combinations ), solaris, hp-ux, aix and cygwin. good old raw sh is about the only thing that hasn't caused cross platform issues on these (yes, including perl).
As for your pathological case, it only makes the point that shell scripting is a Bad Idea for *that* case. Go brush up your formal logic, showing 'There Exists' does not prove 'For All' - e.g. for a counter example, go look at http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html - there, since we have a pathological case where perl is much worse than awk, perhaps we should advise that perl is a Bad Idea for anything other than simple single-platform scripts...
Perl is probably brilliant for simple scripts, but should not be used for large programs. Python is very useful for large programs, however.
I agree. However, I'll go further and say for most simple scripts sh ( or at a push bash ) is better. The only thing you can't easily do is arrays ( which you *can* do, but its nasty ). Oh, and the performance can be poor if you have too many calls to sed. On the other hand, if its a sufficiently time critical / important script that a few extra seconds because of all the spawning matters, I'd probably be cracking out the c compiler anyway...

also don't forget encfs as an option - lacks the license issues with truecrypt, plus it can be got to work under linux, osx and windows.
close. encfs. Yeah it leaks some intel regarding #files and dir structure, but its much more sync friendly

Top tip: don't shave it off, then its already there when you need it!

Which makes a lifetime (to date) attach rate of what, just over 4? That is not that much, really.

Except (at least presently), apple are not allowing micro-transactions for free apps.

Unless the comment in the faq implying that it will still be around is, in fact, part of the joke. Which is entirely possible in fact.
