That's exactly how it works on Android. It uses Google+ profile pictures, which you can override, you can also enable option to show details about numbers that are not in your contacts (including the picture).


The thing is I have absolutely no interest in join a bloody social network just to use my phone book, as a matter of fact I block every app on my phone from accessing the contacts info.

I suspect that I'm not alone in this regard.


I would rather avoid a social network getting their hands on my contacts, though. You could sync facebook and twitter with your contacts in iOS, but I just don't feel comfortable doing it.


By using cursor key for voting you dramatically decreased usability, for example I no longer can use Platform Key (Win/Command) key + left arrow to go back to previous page.


Normally I'd agree with you (e.g. I hate Blogspot because they hijack Alt-Left for back also), but in this case I actually liked the arrow keys for voting because they were quick and simple. I voted on probably ~5 screens in just a few seconds and felt really smooth.


Why not do both: support cursor keys for voting, but leave meta+ key events alone?

Your question reminded me of this and I see someone already responded. In any case you should get a new card if there was a chance you were affected.


The reason why companies are caring at all about it is because this directly affects their income. Especially from foreign users.


Well, there's OpenJDK, but to use the standard one from Oracle you need to run it under linux emulation layer.

I thought that Oracle's JDK7 was based on OpenJDK?


Well, it's like fork but it's the other way. After Oracle bought Sun, other projects that adopted ZFS continued fixing it and adding new features.

So FreeBSD has its version, Illumnos (fork of Solaris) has it own, Delphix own and so on. Those projects were using patches from each other but managing all of that became problematic.

So they basically designated one central place to do ZFS development from which all of the projects will use.

So now instead of many ZFS forks there just two: - Oracle - which is now closed source - Open-ZFS - which will be now the official open source ZFS that all Open Source systems will use.

Unfortunately it will still be CDDL, since no one in that project has power to do it. This would require Oracle and all contributors to allow for changing the license.


Think of jails as VMs without the overhead of having the same OS multiple times in memory. Similarly you can't use host's IP by any of the guests.

That said many people go around that by simply binding the jail against an unsused loopback address (127.0.0.0/8) and then use firewall such as pf to redirect specific ports to given jail, like here http://blog.burghardt.pl/2009/01/multiple-freebsd-jails-shar...


Ah! I never thought of using a loopback address. Next time around I'll give it a shot.


As I understand you need to have the same EUID to be able to bind to the same port.


That's right. This article doesn't mention it, but the LWN article it cited (https://lwn.net/Articles/542629/) does.


According to LinkedIn, he just started working there this month. I guess he is just dumb, inexperienced, and maybe it was first time someone hang up on him.


he's actually been there a year and a half, and was promoted to area sales manager 1 month ago.


Managers tend to hire people that mirror their own behaviour. If this guy is getting promoted fair chance there's more of his ilk at Groupon.
