It's not a slam dunk case, it's a 50/50 case. What we know for sure is that it was a dick move on the part of Maisel. Sort of like calling the cops on your neighbor because their dog barks a lot, even though you don't actually hear it whe

Interesting hypothetical but mostly not relevant at all in this case. Details are lost making the analogy and when it comes to fair use, the details are often very important. For example, are you changing the names of all the system calls?

You can google "fleur de lis", it's a relatively famous symbol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis I don't have a good aerial photo of roads arranged in this manner, but basically the idea is that you have a connector road with clu

It's not a matter of people just moving around, it's the entire attitude towards urban planning and development. Laws can be a real barrier to the evolution of effective, human-scale, mixed-use communities. Houston is a good example of whe

Whether poll results are convincing is subjective. A US jury, for example, convinces only with a unanimous vote.

It's not a complaint, it's just the way it is. The windows (NTFS and later) default security model uses ACLs. Unix doesn't. This gives windows a few minor advantages. Yes, of course you can do ACLs on Unix. If you really need them th

Yeah my mistake there, sorry.

I would say it's because that's conventional, it's what users expect, it's what many applications expect perhaps most importantly having ACLs is just not that important. It's not necessarily that it's "easy to use an understand." In Window

One example: given a file, you can create several different access levels. One group can be read-only, one group can have read and write but NOT delete, one group might only be able to modify permissions, and one group might have full acce

I downvoted your post because the second sentence attacks the poster rather than the post. It is impossible to you to know for sure whether someone read an article or not before posting. Such a guess never adds anything to a discussion.

Not me. In this case the inflated ego leading to unreasonable aggressiveness is far more distasteful than the relatively mild sense of self-entitlement. The more derivative a work is, the less it belongs to the original artist. In this ca

I can't fairly evaluate that without understanding why it was done that way. It looks to me like something that might have been dumped from a database table named "person" with two columns one called "name" the other called "value." It mig

Hubris has nothing to do with it. It's just the reality in companies with existing revenue streams. If you have hundreds of agents using a web-based front-end to process loan applications, failure of the front-end app due to an unexpected

Array and hash types in perl likely evolved bottom-up from the lower-level data structures of the same name. Other languages use terms like "List" and "Associative Array" for their abstract data types to differentiate from the implementatio

I'm not sure a comparison to mass media is necessarily appropriate. It's probably more important for engineers and entrepreneurs to bring relevant scientific knowledge to the market than it is for scientific papers to be published in mass

If the context is strictly investment, intrinsic value (aka "wealth") is not an especially useful concept. If your context is marketing, it might be more useful, though questions like the one asked of gold, and similar in the context of bi

I don't think he meant monetary value, he just meant value. The gold in the plating on my headphone jack has intrinsic value to me, measured nebulously in its quality and reliability. It has value to me, but it has no value to the market.

Oh he definitely he sounded smug and know-better, he's a professional TV personality and his audience is not typically hackers. But I think that's more a reflection of him not actually caring deeply about topic more than true conviction.

At least one of the taglines was a huge mis-characterization of what was actually said, though. "Paul Graham: Don't look at groupon's numbers" That's not what he said at all. He said that HE wouldn't, and that he'd bet on Andrew Mason bec

If you feel pressure, sure respond in whatever way seems most appropriate at the time. All I am saying is that a half-baked online article about introversion is not going to substitute for open and honest communication. Imagine if your com

How do you know that the choice you made is a consequence of introversion and not some other reason? If you can't explain your behavior to your roommate in terms of immediate personal motivations don't expect a generalized explanation to b
