And what happened to John Steele, who practically started this whole damned business model and now seems to have escaped under the radar? I've seen no reporting on his fate since Prenda Law fell apart.
My guess is that he's moved far away and is practising some new (but similar) scam under (yet another) assumed (possibly stolen) identity. Eventually, he'll slip up or someone will make the connection, and then we'll hear lots more about him.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but if you're willing to chuck a whole codebase just because you don't know what a pager is, maybe your employer hired the wrong person.
I was being facetious, of course--you'd have to move to New Zealand and get a special permit or join one of the conservation/restocking efforts there.
Mostly, I've just always thought tuataras were cool (ever since I read about them in an encyclopaedia when I was a kid) because they're not-quite-lizards and they have a vestigial third eye.
I also noted in the Wikipedia article that that there's one (nicknamed "Henry" IIRC) who apparently was able to father offspring at age 111.
No, it's not the first time it's been discussed here, and Yes, it's still cute for about 10 minutes until it dawns on you what an incredibly stupid idea this is.
Unless you're what3words and you're trying to enhance your "oooh! shiny!" revenue stream by conning other services into tying themselves to your system, of course.
No, just no. Fatalism and feeling guilty over your own existence is absolutely no way to live, and despite what you might be telling yourself, you don't really want to die.
Please get into counselling with a suitable professional ASAP.
Begin the process by calling a mental health or suicide prevention hotline *right now*.
I've worked with a few large corporations that had a pretty clear policy on this: if you suspect that sensitive data has been exposed, you must tell your boss or the infosec guys.
The large corporation that employs me has exactly this policy.
But Master-Master replication (you know, like you would set up in making an HA cluster)? IIRC MySQL does it, but it's a separate product that I think you have to purchase.*
* there could be a community/OSS version out there, but I kinda doubt it.

Where is polygamy legal in the US? That's a new one on me.
Holy false equivalence, Batman!
You might want to read some history before going off on people.
The only thing you were right about is the word "coup". I hope that makes you feel better.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again now: If you're so anxious to use Chrome, you're welcome to use Chrome.

Sorry. That's sort of beyond the limits of what I am willing to accept.
Hm, bowling average, IQ, spelling ability, um um ummmm... Aw, nuts! PASS.

I like to think of it as Stage 2 in the Scandal-Ruin-Prison trifecta.

The website is still there, and still features a local-to-SIT converter. More than that I do not know.

Quoth some unknown lacking even the cajones to post under a pseudonym.
Trying out for the Olympic Hyperventilation Team? It's Friday, man, and this is Slashdot. Chill out already. Wow.
He's always struck me as borderline.

Not the same as the Hindu/Buddhist symbol. The Nazi version is reversed.
Get your kid a tuatara. It'll probably outlive the kid.
Slashdot != CNN.
If you want up-to-the-minute news of general interest, read CNN. Or if you prefer (as I do) the BBC, which posted the same story about 30 minutes ago.

Doubt no more. Here ya go.
Do you even know what "interferometry" means?
In space, no-one can hear you fail.
This is old news--that happened in 1965.
Where do you think our second moon came from?
