@matigo Insane. One of her cease and desist letters is making the rounds and it defies description.
The literary work is up in arms at the moment and indies and traditional pubs in common cause.
I will explain
A certain lady author named Faleena Hopkins writes a romance series. A series about the Cocker Brothers.
I don't know if it's that kind of romance stuff or not. Don't care. Not my genre.
She trademarked for protection which is fine and dandy.
Didn't trademark the series title, mind you. She trademarked the word Cocky .I kid you not
She has been sending cease and desist letters to authors using this word in their book titles - even if they were published before her books were. Amazon has actually taken a few books she complained about down.
Class action lawsuit forming. Shitstorm building.
@larand I'd give one a try at this point is the option were available.

@streakmachine It's symptomatic of a world what's inhabitants are so comfortable and pampered, they have to invent issues to complain about.
Dear computer techs.
When you pull a hard drive from a computer, plug it into a Windows box and have it come up with an icon that says, "Empty Drive", do NOT tell the customer the drive is empty. Please look at the partition tables and verify the SMART status.
I'm so over of giving customers the "This is like someone telling you the record they borrowed no longer has grooves" (Mainly because a lot of people now have never SEEN a record). I'm also over calling you guys afterwards and ferreting information.

After being stuck in RHEL7 w/MATE desktop for 23 hours, I have to say I like it.
Really learned the biggest advantage git has over subversion.
Dead server housed a code repo I used for internal and private development. Fortunately, it was current on several machines
git clone --bare currentworkstationcopy
Done.
cvs or subversion would be a total loss in terms of history.
Okay. New server is about 98 percent functional. The few remaining tidbits are only for our internal use and, thus, are the lowest priority.

I seriously need a nap.
