If it is within the borders, it's just so, not by much. Also, legalities aside, this is unethical business behaviour and I wouldn't want to be associated with it in any shape or form. But, hey, maybe there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Agreed, but for one thing. He IS NOT an asshole, not in real life. He's actually super-nice. Online he has the asshole persona, but that's it.

Hold up, there is something wrong here. Yes, he did set up the page as "just a fan". However, this page has been in existence for a few years and it's a page that got really popular. So, Facebook only "enforces" their ToS when there's enoug

Fun, especially since Bosnia was in a war not too long ago. Thankfully, all of my family is out of that godforsaken country.

As I've said in another reply, what if you write Ruby and Rails code, yet it's closed source or protected by an NDA? You could be a better programmer than most of the open source guys, yet no one would ever know.

by batasrki 17y ago
I fully agree with the closed-source part. I've written tons of Ruby and Rails code for a company who is protecting their IP, so there's no way for me to say "Hey, I've written this and you might like it and use it". This, however, seems to

Are you kidding? Some corp poisons a whole lot of people, a law firm tries to gag a news organization and thereby rights to free speech and all you can muster is "Meh"? Come on, now.

I agree. Digg may have started with a small amount of money, but they keep raising VC funds, in the millions, to keep it running. This is Dvorak at his best, link-baiting, self.

Wouldn't the last pick be a form of type-casting? ;-)

If there was no interest from TechCrunch or other "news" sites about this information, the dude would not have his 15 minutes of fame. Arrington's decision to pass on stolen documents is at best highly unethical and at worst criminal. It's

Zed's "colored history in the Ruby world" is not relevant to your discussion of BSD vs GPL licenses. It feels like you put it in just to stick it to those "awful" Ruby people. Also, your response to my comment doesn't improve or change my o

Yeah, myself as well. I don't understand this bitterness that comes from the Python community. Or maybe, it's just a vocal minority. There was no need for this in the article.

Nice. The part I always struggle with is the Photoshop part. Creating nice, repeatable background images is always hard. This has a nice explanation of it.

Thank you for completely clarifying the situation. This is what I was talking about. He didn't battle the villains outright and beating them, what he was doing WAS unethical. This makes me wonder why the game admins did not step in and stop

Who says they should, especially when the "enforcing" can be distilled down to plain old bullying and threatening? If I were the game designer, those ones would be the first to go and then maybe the professor.

by batasrki 17y ago
No, the game designer gets to enforce the rules. The majority can abide by the rules or they can leave. Voting with your wallet is the most powerful way of voting, after all. If the rules in PvP area specify PvP battles and someone wants to

Actually, he was killing villains, not heroes. He was on the heroes team, therefore technically he was not killing his teammates. Having said that, however, he did not engage villains in combat, but rather teleport them to a kill zone. That

I've understood it as an option to feel who called you. That would make a big difference for me. If I feel the name and that name is my wife's, I'd probably excuse myself a minute later and call back. If it's an incomprehensible vibration,

I don't know why you're being downmodded for that comment. You're quite right about people just applying to anything and anywhere without a forethought or research.

Yeah, but at the same time, he's being misleading about the effects of N+1 query problem. It's a problem for a reason. Anyone experienced enough in web development will maybe get his point, but the newbies who read his blog will not and wil

Only one problem there. Microsoft has pretty much EOL'd LINQ-to-SQL in favour of Entity Framework. So, the performance improvements and code improvements that you speak of will never get done.

True, for Twitter news. However, there's been other sources, such as Huffington Post who have been getting similar reports through e-mail and YouTube. Those sources are not connected to Twitter, so no parroting there.

I agree that state changes being reported by one person are not necessarily true. However, a state change being reported similarly by multiple unconnected sources is helluva more believable. Also, remember that BBC/CNN/etc. did not jump on
