   That'd be a horrible idea. Actively looking for patents to try to avoid makes you more guilty since you can't prove you didn't read the patent you infringed on. IANAL, but I've heard/read that as an engineer it's best to avoid looking at

   I of course didn't talk about why I'm using a map, but as an example: consider redis. It's a giant hash table, and it allows you to pick a random key.

   I did overlook that, so yes, this should work properly. Thanks! One thing to note is that Random.next() is protected, so it's gotta be random.nextInt(map.size()).

   Since they are not copyrightable, why do people pay lots of money to the foundries to use them? Seems like we'd be able to freely distribute things like Gotham, and anything from Veer.

   You haven't seen PHP or Python between MySQL and the webserver? I must be missing your point.

    It seems as though you write the SQL in the nginx conf... Not sure if it's then somehow available elsewhere.

    I never claimed that his version wasn't better, but the parent stated that "It takes up less space, and you have to carry around only one object instead of two." My point was that you didn't necessarily have to carry around 2 things.

    A couple of years ago, I emailed Garry Tan about this very issue after successfully posting to a friend's Posterous. They were only thankful for the heads up and investigated. A year or two later, I was interviewing at a company whose produ

    Woah. I missed that one. I thought RabbitMQ was written by the LShift guys, which based on the fact that the LShift website has a big banner saying "SpringSource acquires Rabbit Technologies" is accurate, but is LShift dead, in favor of the

    Is splitting terminals really that helpful? I tend to use 80 character wide, tall terminals so that I can have emacs sitting next to it (in similar dimensions). I guess if I used console emacs, having one terminal with it split would be fin

    You're certainly an exception, not the rule. In my immediate circle of python programmers, most of them would name Guido, Beazley and maybe on a good day Alex Martelli. I have to agree with Zed on that point.

    In Chrome on Mac, the techno Strongbad Email played perfectly fine, and my computer didn't burn me. I'd say it's a success, though still lots of room to grow I imagine.

    I have plans for adding all the leagues, but I figured targetting baseball was a better idea since we still have the rest of the summer. By the fall, I hope to have the NFL, NBA, and NHL ready to go.
