True. In such case you need to create a different symlink within the same filesystem and then use "mv" to atomically overwrite the current symlink.
ln -sfn target new && mv -Tf new old

There is a famous Soviet joke about it.
Question to Armenian Radio:
- What is American embassy built from?
- Micro-concrete.
- What's Micro-concrete?
- 10% concrete, 90% microphones

I tried to switch to Firefox lately after this new speedy version had been released.
I really underestimated how good Chromium is.
Basic stuff, like in page search(Ctrl+F) is awful after Chromium experience. Resistance to copying omni-bar is silly.
Crashes every day. The UX is bad compared to Chromium.
Spent month dealing with it and just abandoned this endeavor.
Really sad, i want Firefox to be better.

I get where you coming from. It's really easy to underestimate the rip current.
This might be very dangerous, especially if you are not a good swimmer, it can take you off shore and drown you if you panic and waste your strength fighting it.

He didn't cause any damages. He reported the issue including the pass he purchased as evidence and it was invalidated.

Mine(Ubuntu) differs:
It is usually recommended to only use usernames that begin with a lower case letter or an underscore, followed by lower case letters, digits, underscores, or
dashes. They can end with a dollar sign. In regular expression terms: [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]?
On Debian, the only constraints are that usernames must neither start with a dash ('-') nor plus ('+') nor tilde ('~') nor contain a colon (':'), a comma (','),
or a whitespace (space: ' ', end of line: '\n', tabulation: '\t', etc.). Note that using a slash ('/') may break the default algorithm for the definition of the
user's home directory.Comment · 10 years ago
Don't know about Seattle but my ISP does run a transparent proxy that does mitm for http and caches files.
They use http://www.peerapp.com/ devices to do so.
I was also successful in poisoning their cache quite easily

"[Upstart] currently has no way to adjust the maximum number of file descriptors, or limit memory usage"
That's weird, because that's one of the things i like about Upstart. The ability to set pam limits and others in the same file. Upstart seems to support the same options Runit memory wise: stack, data, memlock ...
limit nofile 10000 10000
limit nproc 1024 1024

That's not entirely true. Since i found how to poison my ISP's PeerApp "invisible" cache servers i started to check MD5 when downloading manually. It does cache big files but not small ones.
Here is the link for technical details if you are interested.

That's true about hype and marketing. Including spamming #puppet channel trying to divert people to chef when they come asking for help.
Also calling every one who ever served in 8200 an Israeli spy is ridiculous. Military service is mandatory in Israel. Lots of kids serve in 8200 because they get assigned there for their affinity for math and computers. Most of them do menial Ops tasks, I interview them occasionally for junior positions.
Here are some Israel startups founded by "spies": ICQ, CheckPoint, Wix ...
