For Quake 1 its Darkplaces[1] or Quakespasm[2] (the former emphasizes more features, but has been dead for some years, the later is meant to be a more honest upgrade).

There are HD texture packs like Quake HD[3] and Epsilon[4] on moddb that work with either. All HD modpacks for both games are just like any mappack.

For Quake 2 I use Yamagi[5], but there is also KMQuake2[6] which is like Darkplaces from Quake 1. For HRT packs the only one I know of / have used is Berserker[7].

I think all those moddb packages are prebundled with Windows executables. You can just take the data directories and use them with your engine of choice.

So why didn't they allow people to remote from Toronto?
I don't think so. It's more like "rent my house/residence" versus "rent one of many apartments I keep available and run like a hotel".
You might argue "due diligence", that as Lets Encrypt appear on a simply internet search the lawyer's claimed ignorance [if they do claim ignorance] shows a wilful act to hide from knowing that it was already an established trademark. There is no way - on balance of probabilities - that any company enlists a trademark lawyer to register a mark without that lawyer first doing an internet search (eg for associations with nefarious businesses [or one's powerful enough to sue you], or negative associations with crime, etc.).

Google could probably provide the information about such a search being made from the lawyer's offices!

No. The joke in most SMBC comics involves taking some faulty logic and driving it to absurd conclusions.
I am on LetsEncrypt's side to defend their branding. However, Comodo's intent is understandably clear: you take away my business by giving away free certs I screw you in your branding. (not that I agree with this tactic.)

Badly. We've used their service for five years in clear and constant violation of their ToS, and apart from demanding a one-time hush payment they didn't even pretend care.
I don't see anything in their trademark policy that implies they have registered any of their marks yet. In fact, all the marks in the "included, but not limited to" list use ™ instead of ®, the later which can only be used with registered trademarks. Searching the USPTO database[1] for "let's encrypt" only reveals Comodo's 1B registrations.

All that being said, under US law you still have trademark rights even before you register the mark, and ISRG definitely has first use on the Let's Encrypt mark.

Also, keep in mind, because of pensions most government workers don't get social security when they retire. My mother, a public school teacher for 20 years, only lives on her pension.

Now, if we think government employees should pay into and get social security when they retired thats a debate that might be worthwhile to have. However, in the meantime the trade off has been lower salary and no social security in the public sector vs private sector but you do get a pension in the end.

My problem is that I'm working for a subsidiary of a really big company that is directly competing with some parts of Facebook. There's a non-zero chance that some part of my company, far far away from me, will initiate an action that triggers this clause some time in the future.

In short: my company's ability to use a growing set of otherwise high-quality projects is greatly impacted because of this legal language. I also strongly suspect this isn't limited to just my organization.

One way or another, thank you for your attention.

I would love to hear from any other members of large organizations about this matter. Granted, my view is pretty limited, but this doesn't strike me as a good way forward for the overall free software community.
> the "first person" thing was just an adjective added to the base genre, "shooter".

To be fair, calling them first person shooters wasn't really a thing until a couple of years after the release of Doom. By the time it became the dominant term I think this type of game had already diverged far enough from your concept of a first-person SHMUP that I don't think that your theory on the origin of the term is accurate. Genre taxonomy can't easily be reduced to a simple analysis of the particular words used.
Sentiment behind tech IPOs is already negative and complicating the IPO process would only further that sentiment. Hard to imagine the bookrunners would ever agree to that.
I agree with you. They're not altruistic at all and the FBI thing was likely a PR campaign. They already have a number of behaviors that hurt users, app developers, and people in the supply chain. Far as security, the hardware engineers know there were attacks all the way through the stack that can be mitigated with certain tech that would probably cost them a few million or tens of million one-time development. They used a weak, 3rd-party approach instead. They never brought up these weaknesses, which all commercial smartphones have, during the debate. They still don't.

So, let's recap. Tim Cook, already hit due to privacy issue, might have a personal stake in improving privacy in tech. They knew their products weren't secure. I knew third parties that could've cracked it as they cracked IC's designed for security w/ obfuscation & tamper-resistance. As I predicted, the FBI ended up finding a group that cracked it for a low, six digits. That means the attack was easy with much of that probably profit.

That Apple knowingly leaves their devices insecure despite having money and incentive to knock out low-hanging fruit means all this talk is mostly branding. They're just differentiating themselves with appearance of greater security/privacy. Like they did when they said Mac's were immune to malware back in the day. Except this time, they actually deliver a good chunk of what they claim at least. I'll give them that. :)
So does this mean that we'll expect to see a commercial version of Cygwin in the future? Or is it so that commercially available programs can leverage Cygwin libraries?

sigh - I really love sentry to bits. Very responsive support, all open source code, nice user interface, no nagging for additional services and very fair price (to the point where it's much cheaper to just host with them rather than trying to self-host, despite the thing being extremely well documented and fully supported for self-hosting).

I wonder what we'll lose first before they will eventually be sold to get the money back for the investors :(

Yes. I'm cynical, but it's always the same path in which good products eventually are shut down or get way too expensive.

On the other hand, I would be extremely happy if it was Sentry to prove to the world that you can in-fact take $9M in investment as an Open Source project and still stay independent, keep your original values and not be shut down by an eventual buyer.
Thing is, it stopped being a "private residence" when it became a business of hospitality. Despite what Airbnb will claim, Airbnb's clients are absolutely operating as a hotel and should be governed as such (which has the nasty side effect of probably killing the business).

The second they start having to obey zoning regulations, building codes, taxation & insurance the way hotels do, their valuation drops precipitously.

I personally hate this hypocrisy of treating sharing economy as business when it is convenient and sharing between individuals when it is not.

Anyone local in SF who wants to meet and go through the fundamentals on this? I've gotten through about 40 pages of the S-1 (of about 160) and want to compare notes.

In no particular order, a few thoughts:

- I'm not sure how defensible this is against AWS or another infrastructure provider cross-selling to existing customers. AWS/Azure already has lots of relationships with buyers and both have the engineering muscle to build a competitive product. Maybe the existing knowledge of the API and general head start will cause people not to switch?

- How large is the addressable market? Can Twilio grow it? Are they planning to do anything beyond their existing "bringing telephony to the Internet" product line?

- Dual-class share structure a concern for any? Interesting that it ceases to exist after a few years.

I'm thinking about buying a few hundred shares as a long-term hold (3+ years at least) but the first-day pop is making me rethink, maybe it'll cool after a few days, who knows?

To my knowledge rockets fired at Israel are very basic, while Israel has the Iron Dome in place, thus it is a bit of cherry picking. Conventional bombs can surely destroy cities. Nevertheless, an argument can be made nuclear bombs are more cost effective, I don't know about that.

Chemical weapons are certainly WMDs and very potent, as seen in the Syria attacks.

There are many ways you can hurt your enemy, depending on one's goals. E.g. as far as I remember the central element of Mr. Robot is an attack on world economy, which might cause more disruption and suffering than killing civilians.

Reflecting back on history, we don't even have many nuclear incidents. On the other hand it shows if we are serious about hurting others we will find a way.

Also, just for thoughts, if we leave the western centric pov, every other nation could be concerned with the west having nuclear capabilities while they are denied.

Couldn't this sort of behavior be against the Mozilla CA Inclusion Policy and thus grounds for no longer bundling Comodo CA certs?

The same could possibly be said for Chromium's Root Certificate Policy. It doesn't break the specific trusted tasks but I would say it counts as generally operating in a non-trustworthy way.

Seems dumb on Comodo's part.
You seem to have this notion that employees are asking for handouts. They aren't. They're saying, "Hey, I would like a $5k raise. I know you're planning on giving it to me anyway, but I wanted to point out that if you do it in the form of charitable matching, the company will only have to reduce its income by $4700 to give me that $5k raise, since the matching is tax-deductible."

The company essentially gets to offer me more money at no cost to them if they structure their compensation this way. You could be very transparent with this and simply allow employees to direct the company to put money into charity (with the tax going to the charity instead of the government) but it's probably easier for the accountants to simply do matching with a cap, which is why you see companies do it this way.
Thank you for the answer. I'm currently dealing with an inflow of about one million documents a day; it's an ever growing collection (grows by a few TB each year). Should I just configure it with 1000 shards? Or would it perform bettet with fewer shards?
> US Copyright defaults to the author, it is only with employee contracts/agreements that one can forego the default and assign to the company.

I'm pretty sure this is not true. In fact, it's the opposite of how it actually works. There's an explicit exception in the Copyright Act for a "work made for hire". If you're creating a opyrighted work for an employer, the employer is always the author of the work at the moment of inception.

Fine. But that means you'll pay an average of 2-3% more for items.

>Instead of large chunks of their income going to credit card companies (via interest), it could instead be spread out among more stores.

Yes. They would gain under a new system. People who are responsible now would lose under that system. It's a transfer , with credit card companies taking a cut.

> Excellent; always nice to see fewer copyright assignments and CLAs in the world.

I am the origin of the blanket assignments (among other things -- Cygnus founder). The purpose of the blanket assignment was to ensure that the FSF would have standing to sue in the case of a GPL violation. If you only contribute a small amount it might not matter (because any material violation probably would include other, covered code) but if you end up contributing a somewhat self-contained module or function it does.

Now, more than 25 years later, it's less of a problem, and something somewhat unitary like the Linux kernel survives with many many copyright holders, but for something smaller like Cygwin it makes more sense. I guess rhat figured it wouldn't matter any more -- hope they're right!
This is my read exactly.

Investors need to understand that internet application service providers aren't software companies, and that it isn't reasonable to expect software-company margins (selling CDs for hundreds of dollars) from services providers.

Companies like New Relic, Twilio, etc. have real costs to operate their infrastructure, especially so in Twilio's case where they likely have to make payments to the downstream network operators (not sure on that last point, I assume, but would love to be corrected if I'm wrong)
That's understandable. I was mulling over your use of reference counting, and cycle detection with your mark and sweep scheme. Vala has a weak keyword to indicate a non ref counted ownership letting user manage cycles in effect. Otherwise I wonder how useful reference counting is in this case, your vm has the call stack ie the list live root references, as you know. Why not just do mark and sweep? May simplify the code a bit.
If Comodo would have actively used "Letsencrypt" as a brand paired with Comodo's registration this case would be crystal clear: Letsencrypt wouldn't own anything.
