I knew something like this was going to pop up. Now we just have to wait and see how long people can get away with it.

I found that four letters added some ambiguity and some uneeded complexity. Maybe 5 or even 6 letters? Still, this is a great intro to relativity and it was a fun read. Also a cool literary feat.

Sad to see they're Bell Labs patents. We owe a lot of innovation from the work done there. Dammit, and to think I was going to work for Alcatel. edit: wow, spelling.

Was this just the result of one phone call to one person? You might have gotten an employee out for a phish. Try giving them another call at another time of day and see if they make the same request.

I find Github to be the best option out there (the only thing I'd like to see is a method to leverage caching). Plus it allows you to make the website "open source" (which is the case for most of what I put up).

It makes me peeved when these reports omit the names of the parties that were compromised in the intent of "protecting" their name. If I was a customer of one of the banks that got broken into, I think it would be my right to know that they

There's an issue open on the repo right now about the exact paragraph you're talking about. I was thinking of making it say "I swear to not design software for the purpose of MALICIOUSLY exploiting a vulnerability, damaging another computer

Good point, the oath could just not be named after someone. There's a github issue opened for discussing the name change.

Agreed. Feel free to fork the repo and add a paragraph/section.
