Yup. I've visited a few repositories and found them deleted, with no forks.

I must've missed it. What's happening? Slashdot admins are deleting accounts?

> Why?

According to the person you are replying to, because Disney didn't want to spend the money.

> It's also a normal way large game launches handle the first 6 weeks or so of load

A surprising number of game launches (including DLC updates which bring a lot of players back) have server capacity issues at launch. I'm guessing they also don't want to spend the money.

My speculation is that someone made the decision that it wasn't worth spending extra money for a smooth launch expense when they can count on a large number of customers coming back later, and only a few choosing to not come back due to launch issues.

> Thing is, it really is about being polite, but people fight over who gets to decide what 'polite' is. Traditionalists liked it better when they were the ones who decided

Interesting. After thinking that one through a bit, I think "traditional" politeness is an equal protector.

  Have an unpopular or controversial opinion? Good for you. Keep it to yourself.

It's a common concept with a few different aphorisms:

* Different strokes for different folks. / Whatever floats your boat. / Live and let live.

* Don't talk sex, religion, or politics.

These rules of politeness assume that people disagree on lots and lots of things (and that some people will be unable to discuss them without flipping out).

Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab—reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to fight disease and change our lives for the better.

Yes it does, which is unfortunate. In the past I've noticed this when domain squatters acquire an expired domain and the Web Archive begins denying access to archived pages from the original site.

This appears to be a misread of the robots.txt intent.

Apparently, the "Robot Exclusion Protocol" was intended to prevent unattended crawlers.
However, the Internet Archive also prevents human initiated crawls, and retroactively removes access to previous crawls.

Here is a quote from the FAQ of Archive.is, an internet archival service similar to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine:

> Why does archive.is not obey robots.txt?

> Because it is not a free-walking crawler, it saves only one page acting as a direct agent of the human user. Such services don't obey robots.txt (e.g. Google Feedfetcher, screenshot- or pdf-making services, isup.me, )

which links to Google Feedfetcher's FAQ:

> Why isn't Feedfetcher obeying my robots.txt file?

> Feedfetcher retrieves feeds only after users have explicitly started a service or app that requests data from the feed. Feedfetcher behaves as a direct agent of the human user, not as a robot, so it ignores robots.txt entries. Feedfetcher does have one special advantage, though: because it's acting as the agent of multiple users, it conserves bandwidth by making requests for common feeds only once for all users.

Mozilla Corporation cut Thunderbird loose ~ 2007, and the primary developer started his own commercial version called PostBox.

In their most recent version they added support for maildir in addition to mbox (a long requested feature on bugzilla).

The source code appears to be available for older versions, but I'm unclear if they are contributing back to the master repository anymore, or just a fork.

I bought it to support development, but I rarely use a client nowadays other than email provider's web client.

I wonder if anyone else has tried it?

Agreed. People hate phone trees as well.

Do they get to keep the money from those fines?

Hey, thanks for the reply..

Looks like I got my quotes crossed while trying to quickly compare corrections.

NYT's correction appears to be at odds with ProPublica's correction.

ProPublica: "It is now clear that Haspel did not take charge of the base until after the interrogation of Zubaydah ended."
