This is not correct, you don't understand how the gpl works, or how linking works wrt license compliance, nor do you understand the kernels approach to GPL compliance and linking. The real problem is that I could point you to source.google.

I all but launched to users one of these in 1999 (deathswitch, I even let the domain lapse in 2003) and decided that I'd have two kinds of customers, those I didn't want to be responsible for , and nutters. Didn't launch. Happy to see this

The team has done some good work and have indeed been working hard. They do appreciate the recognition for sure. We talked about how we should break the news that we supported git. Marking the bug fixed was a good approach to it as then we

Bring em on! Most of the work on the site is bringing some needed aspects to the fore, but the success of the + launch has spawned some really interesting ideas on how we can help users of the site share aspects of their projects to +.

I'd say a better link is to the issue we marked 'fixed' : http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=2454 Or to the project creation page: http://code.google.com/hosting/createProject We hope you like it.

It's also not worth it and you'd be rewarding the building owner. Bistro Elan could move two blocks in either direction, reduce rent and recoup moving costs in months. (and I hope they do)

Mashable/Bryan did a nice job on this article, but I wanted to share a few notes on the process: 1) Phone screens: If you aren't referred or we don't really get a good feel from your resume what kind of developer you are, there are prelimin

Yep, sorry about that. You can still use the old code under the old license, but you can also use it under the new (and more permissive and favorable) license.

Actually, if you read the story, it says that they delivered one to Lockheed, and that the cost of a D-Wave one is 10m, not that Lockheed paid D-Wave 10m. They might have, but this story isn't that conclusive.

You can find much of the code used to generate gmail's javascript here: http://code.google.com/closure/ We released this all some time ago under apache 2.

Go is common enough that it is untrademarkable. Zippy? Not so much, hence the name change.

Nope, it's a 20% project of on of our engineers. Google has no intention that I know of going further.

Was it like that last year ? I remember there were some speaker/reserved seats at stage right, but I wasn't actually aiming for the front row because that might introduce a crick in my neck :-) So I guess 'patron' rows would be possible. Th

So I have no clue about being uninvited from TED, but if you want to sit up front, there's plenty of opportunity to do so. I'm hardly an 'A' lister and I had no problem joining the scrum (which is everyone) at the rope to trot to the front

Also, a fair number of whole projects take the organization donation and donate that to organizations like the FSF and SFLC. (they get 500$ for each student they mentor) Chris (disclaimer: googler)

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but: "Similarly, when the device is in free-fall and therefore dangerously accelerating towards to ground at 9.81 m/s^2, its accelerometer reads a magnitude of 0 m/s^2." http://developer.android.com/refe

I will only say this about the Tab: They're crazy durable. I've dropped mine an absurd number of times from absurd heights. That gorilla glass is something.

Whenever you hear a number like 99% of applicants are rejected or 1000 resumes a day are rejected, you should understand what's going on. Google gets resumes and random text from 1000s of people a day looking for a job, all over the world,
