Also GPT partitions have little use when using mdraid/dm-crypt/lvm2 (or zfs) stack. IIRC Windows have similar features with dynamic partitions, so I don't see any reason to use bios partitioning for anything beyond boot (and MBR is enough for it, even without extended partitions).


>buy used CD's

If artists receive nothing from such trades, why not just pirate (assuming you do not care about physical disc)?


Biometrics also cannot be used to produce cryptographic keys, meaning that all depend on that last conditional jump not being circumvented.


Regulations & compatibility.


>why cyrrilic characters or umlauts cause issues in your scripts...

Any text format can be broken by broken character encoding. I saw plenty of XML being used without any charset declarations. And JSON is in same position as CSV.


Problem is not CSV, it's Excel. It's hard to blame format, when application is insane enough to use locale settings to determine file parsing

I am all for text-only, structured web; but gopher transfer protocol is broken mess (which is an achievement considering simplicity of it's purpose).


>but can verify the transactions to the drug site themselves

Once you start selectively give out user data, you are basically giving out warrants yourself and acting as a judge.


And if you are allowed to do that and want to do it, why not? The purpose of a warrant is to verify that a judge has done due diligence and found the search to be justified, but if you check for yourself and come to the same conclusion, the warrant isn't really necessary.


Because search warrant is removal of privacy rights, which is something only court should be allowed do.


But if you check yourself what. By looking at their data? How would that be okay? I'm not putting words in your mouth, just looking for a logical conclusion.


If you look at their transaction history with your service, it's not just their data, it's also yours and you have every right to look at it.

Now what's morally ambiguous is then deciding to reveal that data to others, and if you did it indiscriminately for all customers I'd be against it. But on a small scale, I don't think it's so wrong.


Because you're almost certainly not qualified to make that determination.
