Maybe your budget is zero, but backups in a work environment should be important.
OK a SAN costs money, but it will work with your ancient 2.4 kernels. Snapshot with ease and power. Add a few terabytes without powering off your systems. Plus you can do a lot of things like synchronous replication (for more $$$) and/or clustering. Virtualization is orthogonal, doing both might be a very good idea since you might manage not to change anything at all in the production systems.
the GPL would be a level 0 license with no restrictions
In your dreams. Methinks you haven't actually read the GPL. Compare it to public domain (that would be level 0), and to BSD [234]-clause (say levels 1,2...).
That apart, it's a nice idea. Like if the FSF or GNU published a list of FOSS-compliant licenses. Doing the same for commercial software would at least let you avoid reading the ultra-small print, and maybe even strengthen the argument of the copyright holder.
Nitpicking: that applies in the US. In a great part of the world it is the contrary. As an example, in France, driving school and driving tests are by default on manuals. If you take the test on an automatic, you get a license saying it is limited to automatics. The times I've bought cars, the dealers never even asked if I'd prefer automatics.
In other news, automatics have reputation of being less fuel-efficient and slow to kick in when you quick acceleration. Maybe that is no longer true, but the reputation sticks.
All joking aside, Native Americans both in North and South America had rather terrible sanitation systems, even by the standards of their day. It was not unusual for them to defecate around the fire pits where they cooked and ate.

Right. Add in the fact that black or gray market implies not going through the regulator, which means that the Whois will not be updated by said regulator. You'll also have bigger IPv4 routing tables and even more complicated and fragile BGP configurations since you'll have a financial incentive to let your IPs be used by people you do not have a direct interconnection with. For the routing tables it probably doesn't matter since routers should handle even more for IPv6, but the instabilities and uncertainties are not good.
Is that there were still gopher sites in 2007! I RTFA expecting the real date to be 1997, but apparently not. How come the sites survived until 2007 but not 2010?
Spaces are a pain, but having witnessed how broken some OSes are when it comes to handling anything beyond the most basic, the advice I give is deviate from the extremely basic at your own risk.
It's called "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you [provide]". STD 5/RFC 791.
I remember a while back trying to put my MP3s in a NTFS disk and having to deal with the several ? that the program had put into some filenames. The OS I did that on was fine with it, but when I got to Windows it was impossible to delete or really work with.
Oh, the joys of non-ASCII characters in filenames! UTF8, ISO8859-x, whatever is used on Windows . . . The problem is that for *ix, no characters are illegal except NUL and forward slash. Reading a windows disk can be a real pain, but when I had to do that conversion last time, I found a script to do it in about five minutes of googling.
I just scp the script to the host and run it remotely then delete it. Not the best but what can you do. I guess I could redirect the script into the ssh
People often forget that ssh not only lets you specify a command to run with its arguments, but also redirects stdin and stdout.
So
scp list host: scp script host: ssh host 'command result' scp host:result result ssh host rm script list result
can be advantageously replaced by
ssh host command result
I suppose you could pipe your script to sh, but I prefer having all my scripts on all my servers and updating them when necessary.
Article implies that people with lower IQ are more likely to start smoking. Sounds likely (smoking is not an intelligent decision). Several comments imply that smoking can lower your IQ. Sounds likely too (low-dose daily protracted poisoning by hundreds of different toxins can't do much good). Prevention should take both possibilities into account. If "Smoking will kill you" isn't enough, might "Smoking will fry your brain" be better? Probably not, but worth a try to counter "Smoking keeps you alert".
Sure, but the "real"problem is that the photos are out there with the name of the victim on them, given name and surname. If that was not the case I think the case would be weaker. Getting photos of your dead daughter in your mailbox along snide commentary is definitely reason to try complaining to law enforcement.
Sounds like they have a problem with immature police officers as well. Hopefully the officers got reprimanded for doing that.
One was suspended 25 days (w/o pay), the other resigned (but says it was for reasons unrelated to the accusation).
One thing nags at me: family says they did not have a legal right to prevent websites from carrying the photos. However, the photos should still be copyright CHP.
I wonder how the case would have stood if it had been an unrelated bystander who took the photos and intentionally displayed them to the world?
Which claims apply? I can see no claim that does not reference "information items [...] transferred between a plurality of servers connected on a distributed network". In fact, e-mail attachment dedup is seen as prior art (Background, fourth paragraph). File dedup is simpler than that.
A major use case is NAS for users. Think of all those multi-megabyte files, stored individually by thousands of users.
However, normally deduplication is block level, under the filesystem, invisible to the user. This is implemented by NetApp SANs, for instance. After having RTFA, OpenDedup seems to be file-level, running between the user and an underlying file system. I'm not sure it's a good idea.
I wrote fileuniq (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fileuniq/) exactly for this reason. You can symlink or hardlink, decide how identical a file must be (timestamp, uid...), or delete.
I'd mod you up but I prefer to chime in. I have a punch clock at $WORK, and since the setup is well done it's surprisingly painless, even agreeable. I'm supposed to work an average of 7h48m per day, sign in in a 90-minute window, sign out in a three-hour window, work at least five and at most ten hours a day, with automatic carries of +- 3 h/week or 4h/4weeks. With regular working hours you only notice when you forget to punch or when you're absent without warning. Then you get an automatic mail.
Now, with those working hours, I most certainly do not earn USD 600K per year, not even 543,698 like the guy on a 30-hour week at CityTime. 600K should be enough for all the software, maybe even including the servers... Feature creep maybe, but near-criminal mismanagement, most certainly.

Me: “This image is 115px x 148px at 72dpi. Typically we need images around 1000px and higher with around 150+dpi.”
Client: “Can’t you just Enhance the images like they do in CSI.”

Good try, but after skimming it, does not seem to apply. Seems to be for deduplicating e-mail attachments.
A major use case is NAS for users. Think of all those multi-megabyte files, stored individually by thousands of users.
