I'm assuming you posted this right after I rejected your edit. Here's my reasoning:

  1. This isn't the first thing that been posted from Overclock.net. A quick search brings up plenty.
  2. The post's author, Jeff Atwood, gave attribution to Overclock.net, as well as adding in some references to Super User from there.
  3. Users regularly post content from other sites, with links and credits to their respective authors.
  4. This seems way too legal crazy. It's not PIRATING. It's written with credit to the authors. If we quoted copyrighted books in essays, would we all get sued each time? No.

I feel this is just going way too over the edge. Not to mention I can't even find exactly where this is copied from anyway. You are specifically targeting Jeff, for what reason I'm not sure.
