Twitter's rules say they can remove your verified status at any time for violating their ToS. It's pretty obvious that Milo has violated their ToS many, many times, so he's not verified anymore. Don't know what the big deal about that is.
That's why I said "popularized by," not "invented by." The Nazis co-opted a lot of things that weren't theirs, but they're now known for being used by the Nazis. The swastika is a good example: definitely not invented by the Nazis, but popularized and pretty much taken over by the Nazis.
The important part isn't the alloy. I mean, yeah, it gives them a leg up - but there's nobody willing to put in the time and money to figure out what's in their cymbals, because it's just more worth it to make your own.
The Zildjian name is more valuable than any of their cymbals. If you don't buy Zildjian cymbals, it's because they're too expensive, or it's because you don't like the sound. It's a better idea for a company to go and make a cymbal that fills one of the other niches in the market than to try to replace Zildjian.
It's sort of like Coca-Cola's secret recipe. If you wanted to put the time and effort into it, you could figure out what's in it. But why bother? Coca-Cola's success is due to the brand, not to the taste.
Lots of services limit usernames to a certain range of characters, but some don't. However, there's tons of invisible unicode characters that you can use instead, so even without this one, the problem would still exist.
It's not, though. He ordered the drugs, meaning that all the needed was confirmation that it was really him that ordered the drugs - signing for the package is enough evidence. That's enough for an arrest anyways, and probably enough for probable cause.
Can we stop jerking about how the cops are the REAL criminals here? DPR was in no way a good person.
MongoDB is a fun toy database right now, nothing more. Unless you have the resources to fix every problem that comes up, you should use a mature database like Postgres or MySQL (MySQL is not as terrible as some might think).
There's really no reason to use SourceForge anymore. GitHub can do almost everything SourceForge can do, aside from app reviews I guess. GitHub also doesn't make you feel like you're in 2004.
