History Colorado won't have legal standing to add licensing or conditions to their use. They will have the technical ability to control initial distribution. So we can assume he's going to upload highest-resolution originals to th

First of all, "free and open source" as in libre , does not necessarily mean "free as in beer". You are perfectly free to pay for FOSS and FOSS makers are free to charge for it. Is that clear? Second, "FOSS = safe&

That's not the only goal. This also reduces the effectiveness of copycat crimes, and differentiates any would-be copycats from the original. Also, it enhances the ability of authorities to receive and authenticate tips from the general

I think this is a compliment from the journalism community. Any journalist on a particular beat is going to lurk on various news aggregators and forums, looking for a scoop. This writer has probably seen dozens, hundreds of stories come acr

I did view "Threads", years ago. It was disturbing, yes. When I was in school, the teachers all put out an advisory about "The Day After (1983)". It was a big deal; many families were planning to watch it, and it wasn&#x

Aside from the unnamed security risks the admins mention, Texas A&M undoubtedly has an Acceptable Use Policy in place for their campus networks, and this would be an AUP that restricts usage to academic type only. Technically it is agai

My first job was at a Network Operations Center, and it was just like in the movies, with a big projection monitor, two network operators at terminals below, and above us were four analog clocks depicting the four main time zones of these U

[citation needed] for that assertion. Atari 2600 is extremely limited in the number of sprites available on-screen at the same time. If you've played Pac-Man then you know that 5 is too many, because all of the so-called "ghosts&q

I think we need to examine the definition of "pipe" in a POSIX context here. Pipelines feed the output of one program into the input of another one. You don't "pipe" files, you copy them.

This film resonated with 14-year-old me so profoundly that I became obsessed with it in every way. I managed to go see it in the theater at least 9 times, Mrs. Bueller. I was absolutely enthralled by Ferris' audacity and the overall th

There are strange cases which may make this a logical choice. Since vi doesn't traditionally lock the file it's editing, another process could change the file on-disk while you have it in the editing buffer. I think you'll ge

That's not obvious, because you don't necessarily own the code you're uploading. I can upload any sort of MIT-licensed, BSD-licensed, Apache-licensed, Creative-Commons-licensed, or GNU-copylefted works I want, anywhere within

Technically, Jesus rose again and left Earth alive, without dying again. The Blessed Virgin Mary is certainly mentioned in the New Testament, and her death is an open question, but her assumption into Heaven is a fact.

When I was homeless, I found a job with a "call center". Our training consisted of teaching us the cover story and how to handle reactions to it. We began with a joke involving alcohol. Then if they didn't hang up we launched

Lying has been a source of controversy for Christians since the beginning. The Old Testament recounts at least two instances of righteous Gentiles: women who lied for the sake of Israel. The Egyptian midwives save the Hebrews' male pro

A tape drive actually led to my adoption of Linux. Around 1999, I decided that a QIC tape was the best backup solution for my home network. At the time, I had a 486 running Windows, and two Apollo 425t running OpenBSD. The 486 may have also

I think we're at a FUD stage of self-checkout deployments. These things are real unpopular, both with workers whose jobs are threatened and with consumers who are now either honorary employees or de facto shoplifters. I work computers

One reason: the designers believed in simple datatypes. If a string is simply an array of characters, that's a straightforward and understandable way to represent it. Each member of the array has equal size and type and it's laid

I don't know about the others, but AWS is not free and it's not cheap. There are ways to set alerts on budget overruns, but there is no foolproof way to limit monthly spending. Eventually you will configure something that goes out

Spanish words ending in "o" are, by default, inclusive. For centuries, it has been a linguistic idiom (not just in Spanish) that references to mixed-sex groups of people are done in the masculine. Women understood this perfectly a

That may be true for immovable train lines, but vehicle transit such as buses have routes which are subject to change, and therefore developers cannot depend on the transit lines being there in 10-20 years. Bus lines instead tend to follow
