But you don't help fixing problems by telling a lie about them, you just make it more difficult for those trying to tell the truth about the issue. It does not seem Daisey understands that he has hurt the cause he claims he was trying to help.
IANAL, but your Wikipedia contributions wouldn't count as personal information (unless it is explicitly about yourself). However the logging of when and which page you edited are, so those could potentially be affected.
After you made the change to the site, have you seen any changes in voting patterns and point distribution? It would be interesting to see that kind of data.
It would be interesting if they set up a Google Retro and let people try and compare the old search and see if they still think it is an improvement over the newer systems.
In my user support days at the university I studied at, I remember receiving many students on the brink of crying and with a corrupt 3.5" disk in hand. They had their only copy of their thesis on this floppy and were desperate for help.
Most of the time the only thing we could do was to dd what was available and pipe it through strings, and sometimes not even that. We tried telling them they should store things on the university servers (which had backups), but it took some time before students learned this.
Maybe, but one year you might not need the kind of complete change of direction that he managed to pull off earlier and which made the company what it is today.
While Apple could probably be very successful with their current direction for quite some time, if the market changes under them the lack of Jobs might become more apparent.
I hope this and the mobile client gives enough incentive for people to sign up for the premium accounts. Spotify is a great product that I enjoy on a daily basis, and I would hate to see it go under.
Why? With the host packaging system I get versioned packages, through host management tools I can control which packages my production, staging, and development hosts should have, and I can describe my dependencies on host libraries and software through the host system's own tools.
Together with distribution systems like apt I can also significantly ease deployment.
I can see that executing some commands over a set of hosts at the same time could be useful, but doesn't sound like a killer feature for me.
As for deploying from staging to production servers, it sounds more tidy to build proper packages to deploy in staging and test before deploying the same packages to production.
Total number of queries for a day doesn't really matter much if your peak traffic is above a per-second usage quota. That being said, I think the quota is pretty generous.
As both government and businesses put more of their interaction with citizens and customers online, having access to the Internet becomes a prerequisite to participate in society on equal ground with others.
But they are also a very easy target. Immigration services do a job that is never going to be popular, but in the end their actions and decisions are mandated by a political leadership.
It's too easy to single out these agencies in a hatefest.
I tried setting IntelliJ IDEA to Emacs key bindings, but I had to switch back to the default bindings. With the Emacs-like key bindings my fingers automatically expected a lot of things to work that IDEA plainly did not support (like kill ring).
My preference when I am not using Emacs is to make a clean break so my finger macros don't run wild, often unintentionally pressing key bindings that do other things than I expect.
