Some GPLv2 copyrighted works, such as the Linux kernel, have many contributors. Each contributor is a copyright owner of their contribution. I'm fine with these Technology Leaders using a new GPLv2 derived license on NEW code they con

The financial penalty needs to be in two parts. 1. a cost for losing personal data. 2. a cost per person's data that was stolen. That ensures there is a minimum penalty. Enough to make it CHEAPER to take a lot of security measures, ev

Ten years ago I was debating with a friend that GPUs would gradually change into massive general purpose processors. Instead they have remained special purpose and difficult to program. My thinking was that with a large number of cores of

But Doctor, what if I NEED to use a nested contortion of generic classes as part of my obfuscated Java homework?

See my post above. I can confirm the problem in Java. It is a different problem than the C# compiler has. But it still runs into a limit.

I can confirm a similar error. Java 8u152. Four 'Inner's work. Five gives error: The type generates a string that requires more than 65535 bytes to encode in Utf8 format in the constant pool This is using Eclipse. So it is the

Dear Top 20%: If corporations paid their fair share maybe you could pay less. Or are corporations counted in the top 20%, because, hey: corporations are people too! Even if it is true that Top 20% pay 95% of taxes, that is as it should be.

I'll make three points. The article is focused on machine efficiency. Human efficiency also matters. If you want to save cycles and bytes then use assembly language. Geez, we had the assembler vs fortran argument back in the 70&#x27

A Linux kernel module is a derived work of the kernel and under GPL. While ZFS may not be a derived work of Linux, you have to glue it to GPL code. And the GPL license is viral. Is it possible to glue a kernel module shim to something els

What "other side" of the argument. If you read the GPL, it is clearly designed to prevent EXACTLY this thing. I'm sure as it was being written, Microsoft was envisioned as the evil entity that would steal free software and m

I think that is unlikely. Much more likely: a manager will issue a corporate directive that everyone must begin using this password at once.
