"It's in the public good" is not a valid reason to do something, partially because the definition of the public good is so subjective. In the Hannibal films, for example, Dr. Lecter killed flutist Benjamin Raspail to improve the quality of the orchestra to which he belonged. We are all likely in agreement that this was murder, but apparently Lecter would disagree.
I've seen that before. I believe that it was on The Daily WTF. Someone was demoing a piece of software, and the guy who wrote a similar product was in the audience. He realized then that the software was very similar to his, although the splash screen had been removed. Eventually, he just accused the author of stealing it, in front of the whole group. Needless to say, he tried to deny it, only to be told to press a certain keyboard shortcut. He did, and sure enough, the accuser's face appeared on screen.
A lot of formats have places that you can modify that don't actually change the picture. For example, if I recall correctly, appending anything to a GIF won't change it (but will leave it valid).
In addition, you can normally just open it up and re-save it; that will often change the hash without changing the data. (Don't do this too much with JPEGs, of course.)
And I suspect that find(1) and ImageMagick will solve most such needs.
Or do it commit-by-commit. Obviously Torvalds has seen everything that he has written, and either he or his trusted cronies (Alan Cox and friends) has seen every commit since then.
Well, if they don't have shoes on Kentucky dirt, then Kentucky can't do anything about this. Otherwise, if I lived in a state that declared web sites illegal, then I could shut down the whole internet.
Let me relate an incident that happened to me regarding DUI. If you do not like my language you are free to edit it out, however, I refuse to call a sonofabitch a gentleman of questionable heritage.
I used to drive tractor trailer over the road. I was so self-employed when the Federal DOT passed their new regulation regarding enforcement and investigation of such, despite the fact that in all the accident investigations involving big trucks, whether at fault or not, the commercial driver was subjected to tox and alcohol screens to determine his condition of sobriety and/or impairment at the time of the accident had returned result of far less than 1% of impaired commercial drivers.
I entered Utah at the border between it and Wyoming on I-80. Just across the line is a weigh and inspection station for Utah, almost directly across the highway from the same thing on the Wyoming side.
After being weighed and passed for legal weight I was flagged for inspection and pulled over to the side off the scale. I gathered my log book, my bills of lading, my permit and license books, my Commercial Drivers License and my medical certificate and entered the station house.
Upon getting inside, I said to the trooper on duty, "I don't know what you need, but I brought it all, what do you want to look at first?"
He replied, "I don't need any of that I pulled you in for a random alcohol screen."
I said, "What?"
He said, "You were number 17, I have four numbers I must pull in to screen for alcohol."
I asked him, "Did I do something on my approach to make you think I had been drinking?" He answered,"No."
"Well did I stagger or walk in any manner during the 100 yards walking back here to make you think I had been drinking?" He answered, "No."
"Well then, do you smell any alcohol on me now, or do you have any reason to believe I am drinking?" He answered, "No, I don't understand why you are so upset if you have nothing to hide."
I then asked him, " You really don't understand why I am upset that I must prove to you I haven't committed a crime you have no right or reason to suspect me of?"
He again stated, "I just don't understand why you are so upset if you have nothing to hide."
I said, "Are you really so stupid that you don't understand the reason I am angry that I must prove my innocence, though you have no reason to suspect me?"
He said, "Look, this is my job and I have to do it and if you didn't have anything to hide you shouldn't be upset."
I asked, "Do you really believe that?"
He said that he did.
That was three times I asked, three times the dumb sonofabitch indicated he had no concept of liberty or law. Three is all I will give anybody, and sometimes not that.
I said, "Ok, if you really mean that, take off your pants and your underwear."
He looked incredulous, then asked, "Are you crazy?"
I replied, "No sir, I am not. Take off your pants and underwear, we are going to examine your penis for blood and fecal matter to determine if you have been molesting small boys."
That sonofabitch went through the roof, ranting and screaming and telling me I had no right to accuse him of such a thing. I think he would have shot me if he had had the guts and thought he could get rid of the body before anybody happened along.
I calmly replied, "It's random, I have no reason to suspect you, but now you must prove you have not been sodomizing young boys. After all, if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't be upset. What do you have to hide? Isn't that what you told me three times that you believed?"
He was sputtering and yelling at me and soooo red in the face, I thought I might get lucky and the no good sonofabitch would die from a stroke. He screamed at me, "That's entirely different!"
I told him, "The only thing different is now we are talking about you proving something I have no right to suspect you of. Evidently you didn't believe all that shit you told me, about nothing to hide s
In Sweden, it is common to either leave one's door unlocked so that passers-by can use the restroom, or have the house laid out such that a restroom is accessible from outside without passing through the house.
1. Sometimes you want to break this rule. I'm guessing that you use Firefox on Windows or Linux. Well, it functions pretty much the same on the other system, as well as OSX. The only difference that I can think of immediately: on Unix, you use Edit:Preferences rather than Tools:Options.
2. Windows don't function as their own environments in Chrome, merely as containers for tabs. Your tab bar is your title bar.
3. Hover over the URL. Now look at the bottom left.
4. I agree. Extension functionality like Firefox? (NoScript)

I learned Vim at a young age, and it has grown on me. I just prefer it now. Call it curmudgeonliness if you wish.
It uses different, non-Python syntax, but I find Fish useful.

Okay, best get rid of Spotlight from OS X, Gimp, Photoshop, WindowsKey-F, and MS Paint.

Sometimes letting the idiots speak is much more effective at achieving your goals than banning their speech. For example, Westboro Baptist Church.
