    If the $10k tickets provide a private area separated from the other passengers with a partition that prevents observation then I'd expect privacy from being recorded. Likewise in a…

    I wouldn't like it and if I noticed I'd politely ask them to stop. However, (and I'm not a lawyer) I don't think it'd be illegal or even unethical. If someone was recording me napp…

    It's my understanding that a release form is typically only used if the video is going to be made available publicly, used in marketing material, etc. If their commercial purpose w…

    Reddit is showing its emergency maintenance page sporadically, I wonder if the root cause is the same.

    Many of these systems are in place because they automate record keeping and accounting, would this transaction modification decrease the effectiveness of the system? How can employ…

    I have a three monitor setup on my desktop right now and love the extra space. I picked up a few ASUS VS247H-P's when they were on sale for a good price. I can't comment on the qua…

    Good list, every time I look at other configurations or options for Emacs I learn something new :). Does anyone know if there's been any news on Emacs and Guile?

    I've run into this problem when setting up email servers before, between DKIM, SPF, Various blacklists and Spam filters on the servers and clients that may catch important (non-spa…

    This is a good point, anything that they create should make life easier for people who have a wide range of email volumes. That is easy to forget when designing an application beca…

    Yeah, right now I'm running Windows 7 on my desktop which is used only every now and then and my laptop is running Arch with XFCE. Have you taken a look at the fallback mode on Gno…

    Anyone else move away from Gnome recently? I've switched to XFCE and find the workflow better adapted to what I'm used to, I gave gnome-shell a month or two before I couldn't take …
