I only say "C-L-I". It is an initialism (read the initials), not an acronym (read as a word).

"unique id useful for licensing" => Linux "/sbin/ifconfig eth0"

Really?

He's unhappy that it looks like the company may just collapse under their feet.

I don't understand why you say it is very dependent on the relationship with the boss. You only give a negative example for telling the boss. Was the positive side getting a free lunch without a job?

If you printed the files each on a sheet of paper, it would 'use more trees' than printing the original file (paper being the 'filesystem').

I agree that it shouldn't matter what the filesystem does to store it, if the rules state that file size is determined by a specific command to count all the inodes, then he lost. If the command is 'du' or 'wc', then he won.

A lot of people are going to compare any kind of private police to "real" police, but that' just the first step in coming to realize what a police force actually is. It's not as ubiquitous and black/white as most people assume.

Woah you are REALLY optimistic about law enforcement agencies wanting to focus on real criminals.

But Barrett Brown is not the first or only example.

Aaron Swartz is the only example I need to understand what to expect from the various US law enforcement agencies.

We need a GNU Grammar Compiler for the entire English language. Then all we need to ask is, "Does it compile?"

I see that the license prohibits rewriting or copying the scripts into other software. Is there a GUI image editor that works by running modular CL scripts (such as these) on an image in a simple UX window? I imagine that would not be against this license.

Sounds like they blame it on too much alcohol. Does the company have guidelines about drinking at company parties?

Yet, in CS courses it doesn't. An A+ means you passed all of the automated tests.

What is "unknown" that is included in the graphs? It is not explained. Title only mentions tv and movie scripts.

I agree with patio11's 'decision calculus' point. And I'll add that if you don't plan to repeat your actions at the company, then you don't hurt them by staying silent until they ask--you'll just carry on as a normal employee.

I don't have a felony, but I do have to decide whether (and when) to allow a potential employer to know I'm gay. I know it's not legally the same, but it works the same way in terms of the interviewer's 'decision calculus'. Bringing it up is literally pausing to ask for explicit judgement.

I've always intentionally stayed silent in an interview about being gay, since I always plan to carry on as a 'normal' employee. At work, my intimate life doesn't interfere, just as your history is in your past.
