Terminal environment? You're gauging the performance of the kernel by interactive typing performance? I don't know where to start.

That's just to become an acquiring bank, to save on exchange fees. Ultimately VISA determines who gets to participate in the VISA credit exchange network and will fine acquiring ba…

One obvious example would be if you had hired the interviewee in question. If so, it would be awfully difficult to demonstrate discrimination against them! Don't get me wrong, it i…

Can you cite the relevant Texas statute? I don't believe you are correct. It is very common for confused employers to claim it is illegal, but as eli described this is an oversimpl…

Here's one for you: City real estate dips in price. Suburb real estate rises, especially at the fringe of the suburbs. A self-driving car with a LTE wireless hotspot would make a p…

This question is equally applicable to all data sources -- not just filesystems. The question applies to sockets, IPC, databases, everything.

That's incorrect. As was already pointed out this issue has nothing to do with reading data from the filesystem or manipulating variables internal to the program and everything to …

This rant misplaces its frustration. This is not a problem with unix filesystems, this is a problem with Bourne Shell scripts, and with UNIX argument parsing semantics. Bourne shel…

Regarding the expense of clinical trials, it's important to note that the scientific results of a clinical trial are not protected by either patent or copyright. Pure research data…

It's much, much worse than what you describe. They are seizing domains based on the preference of a private entity. There is no allegation of criminal infringement against dajaz1.c…

Not to mention you can write down the seed itself and simply type it into another phone.

"I just know that is a stolen car" Which is why criminals do not charge half of its used value -- they charge 100% of the used value just like everyone else. You cannot tell a stol…

Absolutely. When a civil contract is broken the appropriate response is a trial in a court of law. Businesses are quite familiar with the debt collection process. A judge and possi…

Not designing for an appropriately sized earthquake is itself an engineering failure.

FDIC? In Brazil?

The UK does not, but Sweden has violated said treaties. Here is an article on the subject, where several men were extradited from Sweden at the USA's behest, to Egypt where they we…

Your flippant rudeness is inappropriate. Sweden has an established history of extraditing on behalf of the US in various illegal fashions. Here is one example: http://www.hrw.org/n…

No. Square's product is all about accepting credit cards. From the press release: "Square will process Starbucks U.S. credit and debit card transactions, which will significantly e…

I didn't say anything about banning copyright; I didn't express my own position at all. Frankly I'm at a loss as to your point, or how it is relevant. You seem to be jumping betwee…

"Regardless of how you get there, not having the app is not having the app." This sentiment is a great example of how you're missing the point. It isn't about having an app. It isn…

Reading your post I'm lead to believe that you haven't read (or properly understood) his philosophical stance. You say: "he's a nosy noser who can't keep his nose out of what goes …

Actually I believe you're suggesting that the paradigm of tagging files may be inappropriately complex for most users. And I would agree. The point is that we've had the ability to…

"This is why directories are getting old - they allow only one tag for a file" Erm, no. A file can be tagged (linked) into as many directory locations as you like. This is what har…

It's not necessary for them to do so. It's incumbent upon CL to prove the infringement, not the other way around.

Every service I've worked on doesn't look, because they don't want to know -- there's no business reason to know. Having this kind of knowledge about customer content is completely…
