That's exactly how it works on Android. It uses Google+ profile pictures, which you can override, you can also enable option to show details about numbers that are not in your contacts (including the picture).

By using cursor key for voting you dramatically decreased usability, for example I no longer can use Platform Key (Win/Command) key + left arrow to go back to previous page.

Your question reminded me of this and I see someone already responded. In any case you should get a new card if there was a chance you were affected.

The reason why companies are caring at all about it is because this directly affects their income. Especially from foreign users.

Well, it's like fork but it's the other way. After Oracle bought Sun, other projects that adopted ZFS continued fixing it and adding new features.

So FreeBSD has its version, Illumnos (fork of Solaris) has it own, Delphix own and so on. Those projects were using patches from each other but managing all of that became problematic.

So they basically designated one central place to do ZFS development from which all of the projects will use.

So now instead of many ZFS forks there just two: - Oracle - which is now closed source - Open-ZFS - which will be now the official open source ZFS that all Open Source systems will use.

Unfortunately it will still be CDDL, since no one in that project has power to do it. This would require Oracle and all contributors to allow for changing the license.

As I understand you need to have the same EUID to be able to bind to the same port.

According to LinkedIn, he just started working there this month. I guess he is just dumb, inexperienced, and maybe it was first time someone hang up on him.

I personally don't drink coffee. From my observation I don't think I'm any less alert than other coworkers, but I just need to have standard 7-8 hours of sleep.

Provide session support in HTTP and still cookies for backward compatibility. If the support works right, people will migrate themselves.

AmEx has special Costco card, which you can only use with valid Costco membership (it automatically renews it per year) and the cashback you are receiving will be in a form of coupon given yearly which you can only spend back at Costco.

If I remember correctly, Sun responded with even more of their own patents at them and eventually they just settled.
