That may be to show how people in the USA are overly respectful for "IP". Besides, if you can patent the look of icons (which is design, thus, art, and not in any way an invention), who is conflating the types of IP, anyway?

It's high time that unjustified (unjustifable) takedown notices induce a high penalty on the people who submitted it. Excuses like "oops sorry that takedown notice was a mistake" just won't cut it. Every mistake should cost them dearly. Tha

A perl regular expression will test for a match in less than a microsecond. Other scripting languages have a similar speed. There's no need to program like it's 1985 any more.

>It's their button, why would they need the user to click it? Because Javascript is allowed to do more, like show popup windows, if it happens in an onclick event of a button.

Every other ad I see on YouTube is from Native Instruments. No, actually, it's more than half of the ads. I'm getting very tired of it.

>Never working more than 40 hours a week nor staying late? It just smacks of entitlement. I work 38 hours a week. Anything more is considered overtime, and not "part of the job".

Java isn't a very original language. If Oracle were to win this one (God forbid), they'll have to pay a lot themselves to whoever Java got the ideas from.

Yes, yes, it would. But it would take a lot of developers a lot of time to build a reliable product. And nobody can afford that.

In math, you see 2π everywhere, for example in the Fourier Transform. So in that regard it'd make more sense if that was the constant. Visually it looks wrong, pi looks like 2 tau, not the reverse.

Are you using the region parameter? Or bounds? ( http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/ge... ) That should restrict the results to your region of interest (at least: to the UK)

In my own opinion (IANAL), the "tracking is a "search"" view does not imply that there needs to be a physical device. So tracking a vehicle (using technology) in any other way is also a "search".

Is that demo code for the caching system not broken? It looks to me like, if the cache gets rebuilt, the output is only sent to the file, and there's no output sent to the browser. I can't test that right now, and there are a few function

I don't like that. If anything here smells like Digg's "power users", this is it: the more you can post, the more karma you gain, and up goes your ceiling.

I don't think they were out to destroy OSM data.... I think that they were likely out to discredit OSM as a reliable source for maps.

I agree that the separation of stealing vs. copyright infringement is an unimportant distinction. But artists do get just a tiny part of the money people pay. Take TLC as a well known example: they were a huge seller, yet they got bankrupt,

Yes, as I remember it, that link used to be correct, years ago. However, the original site has disappeared.

Back to the era of the 1980s... where every computer came with its own programming language system included; usually BASIC. Move forward 10 years, and it was all gone.

It's a quote from the article. But I agree: it is inappropriate as it is not saying anything about the article content; instead, it is just very rude.

Perhaps you should have constructed an API, and tell them "This is what your code should abide to", instead of just giving them code for the button. That is: abstract the spec away from the actual code. If closer inspection shows that their
