we updated the invoicing software for a customer at their request, we told them to test it on our testing server because it was a big, fundamental change.
they said "oh yeah we tested it, everything is fine, go live"
> The Roman fort of Mamucium was established c. AD 79 near a crossing point on the River Medlock.[11] The fort was sited on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell in a naturally defensible position.[12] It was erected as a series of fortifications established by Gnaeus Julius Agricola during his campaign against the Brigantes who were the Celtic tribe in control of most of what would become northern England.[13]
> In the 14th century Manchester became home to a community of Flemish weavers, who settled in the town to produce wool and linen. This in part helped to develop a tradition of cloth production in the region, which in turn sparked the growth of the city to become Lancashire's major industrial centre.
Hmm.
> In the 1790s, James Watt's steam power was applied to textile production, and by 1839 200,000 children worked in Manchester's cotton mills.
So the introduction of steam power caused more child labour? That doesn't make sense.
> Atmospheric scientists try for years to piece together what happened, but no explanation is forthcoming. Eventually, they give up, and the unexplained meteorological phenomenon is simply dubbed a “Skrillex Storm”—because, in the words of one researcher, “It had one hell of a drop.”
The problem is that doing this theoretically constitutes a circumvention of copyright access controls, which could result in civil liability under the DMCA in the US. Law as written, even simple code like oncontextmenu="return false" ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false", can constitute an access control.
I think the DMCA seriously needs to be rewritten. Yes, it's important to protect against infringement. But no, these protections must be balanced and not excessively favor the copyright holder.
@Burgi Unless you're getting hotlinked onto the homepage of MSN.com or something big like that and your server is hosted on home internet, I really don't see the problem
Even the cheapest VPS hosting plans offer way more bandwidth than any saneeven insane people can use
and if that's not enough, unmetered 100 to 500 Mbit isn't uncommon either
@allquixotic the fonts we've paid for hotlinking them is plain theft, the videos are made for our clients so are tricky on the copyright especially when the parasite isn't crediting our client. the images i'm a little more "meh" on but still no credits and they are passing them off as their own imagery
yeah, I guess I agree about the legal issue, that is until the world moves on from Old World ideas of ownership and can embrace a more evolved collectivism about content a.k.a. "free electrons"
i've written an polite email to the website owner asking them to stop. the next step is to alert our clients lawyers and get an official cease and desists letter.. :S
@CircusCat she prefers small dogs, especially terriers
@DavidPostill yes focusing mainly on phonics and english as a second language
they've just made her the official mentor to the new teachers they hired
basically all the student teachers that she's had in her class have been hired by the school
{sigh} Read the link I gave you twice already. "When Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.

basically i've discovered that after the age of 32 your body starts panicking and stuff stops working properly. and this is because you should be, genetically speaking, dead
when my GF's brother showed up to help move my new sofa he literally just picked it up in one arm and walked up the stairs with it
he's 25!
so my point is after 30ish you need to make sure you aren't breaking yourself
