  • Posting something on a website does not make it public domain. Typically, the website’s Terms of Service will require that you grant the website operator a license to use any content that you post on the site (so that they can display it to other users). That license does not extend to other visitors of the same website.

    Of course, in practice, it’s very unlikely that someone would take you to court over copying a website comment. But if someone posts, say, an original work of art or a short story in a comment thread, you should be aware that it is still protected by copyright.






  • For me, Crunchbang was a great introduction to the possibilities of customizing your Linux experience. No giant, monolithic desktop environment, just a handful of programs that you could (and were encouraged to) tweak or replace to your heart’s content.

    I still run a Crunchbang-inspired setup on my vanilla Debian install—openbox, tint2, conky, nitrogen, gmrun, Win+Letter hotkeys for frequently-used apps, etc. While I’ve outgrown the need for a preconfigured distro myself, I’m glad to see these projects still providing an on-ramp for users looking to dip their toes into the deeper end of the Linux pool.
