I suspend disbelief, and I enjoy the show. I am just critical of how they chose this magic algorithm as the McGuffin. I guess it's easier to write as a justification for a billion-dollar profit possibility than trying to foresee the ne

1. I think that's why they generally include the size of the decompressor in compression contests. 2. Great points re domain, but on the show they specifically say that the algorithm is general purpose, and the talk about using it for

I enjoy the show as well, but no one is ever going accidentally invent a quantum leap in compression technology like that. He might as well have accidentally cured cancer for as much sense it makes.

That algorithm sounds like total B.S. As if someone could stumble onto a lossless compression algorithm with file sizes 50% of an mp3. Even a comparable size would be a huge compression breakthrough. And there are theoretical limits to what

It makes sense. If you buy a painting, don't you get the reproduction rights as well?

Will they be selling non-physical copies? Even if not, it wouldn't be surprising if it leaked somehow.

Well, the NRA is at least partially responsible for perpetuating an unhealthy gun culture in the USA that is responsible for thousands of deaths every year. There's plenty to fear and hate about that.

Flappy Bird is the same concept as "helicopter game", and others, but the gameplay is novel to the extent that it's maddeningly difficult. And the pipe design is a blatant Mario ripoff. A rule banning derivative games could h

> a market with only one flappy bird is probably better than a market with two. Care to back up that assertion? It may be better for the original author, but it's hard to see how it would benefit the community.

Culture is collaborative. Every idea is built on something, and you can't lay claim to a whole class of ideas, or expect someone else not to do a better job and charge less. That's just how society works.

It would depend on what medium you were printing.

Flappy Bird isn't even a rewarding game, so it's a weird thing to base a project around. No one I know can score higher than 5 in Flappy Bird.

Your stance in (3) is debatable. These are both issues that have more affect on poor people. E.g. In the Northern hemisphere, the east ends of cities are generally where more poor people live because they are downwind of the pollution (if

This is the funniest one yet. I thought it would be terrible and that by combining in Doge that it would sully the whole thing and be the straw that broke the camel's back. But really, it adds something to the game that wasn't the

Making a FirefoxOS app is ridiculously easy if you have experience making websites. It's very similar to making a chrome extension.
