People who want to make a pizza as good as Jeff's. I found this page over ten years ago and my pizzas are rightly famous among friends. I'm always happy to point them at the source for the information.

The Space Orb was the most effective way to play D2 once you got used to it.

I first came across this problem in Gödel, Escher, Bach in the 80s sometime when I first read it. Hofstadter does warn the reader to bring lots of paper when trying 27. Did I listen? Of course not.

As a chess variant fan, this is a cool idea that has a lot of potential. I would like to see it extended to include say, the first ten moves. Black may announce a double move any time during the first ten moves after which white gets his do

Oh absolutely. Stick with Markdown and export to HTML as needed (I use emacs and org-mode's built in converter for that) but pandoc can export from Markdown to LaTeX and then Lyx can import it no problem.

I love Bob's writing and his solid grasp of programming subjects that interest me like games and programming languages. For his next book, I suggest trying LyX and the book class with the Tufte layout for far less pain in the publishin

I'll forgive the author for not mentioning it because it's gone completely unmentioned in the Western media: the case against Julian Assange has collapsed completely. The prosecution's star witness, a convicted child molester

Very close to the real deal only when emulating a 370 from the 80s. zOS is a different beast though even though it shares a lot of the asm underneath. But there is no way to run zOS for yourself without a license from IBM or access to a rea

You can! You need to install the Hercules mainframe emulator and the freely available MVS 3.8 on top of it. There are compilers for COBOL, Fortran, PL/1 and assembly available. The go to guy on YouTube for getting all this working is m

You're somewhat confused. They can absolutely force ChessBase to 'play along' since it has no right whatsoever to distribute someone else's copyrighted code without a license.

Indeed. "Your honor, the defendant is distributing my copyrighted work without a license. Make him stop please."

Ghidra is a very cool utility. I used it to disassemble StarGlider for DOS - a very old fav - to figure out how the game worked. Together with the DosBox debugger I managed to create my own hack so I could play the game without being killed

Fair enough. She is correct about licenses in her jurisdiction.

They have nothing to do with contracts and there's a simple test for it. When contracts are violated, then if there's litigation the parties consult the relevant contract law for how to proceed. When a license is violated, the par

"This is often the case for simply using the OSS software. The user has no obligations whatsoever." This is a category error when it comes to copyleft licenses like the GPL. It has nothing to say about usage. "If, on the othe

Enjoy. I'm sure I'm not alone in completely ignoring the opinion of French judges and the European Court of Justice.

"(of course, free software licenses would still fulfil the important function of contractually requiring the publication of modified source code)" No no no. Licenses are NOT contracts. Someone who copies or makes derivative works

Ah young grasshopper, I went to school in the 70s when the big boogeyman was global _cooling_: a new ice age, vast sheets of ice sweeping across the American continent, mammoths roaming the frigid wastes, Time Magazine covers and so on. Tur

If you think the elites and mainstream media are telling the truth about man-made climate change, then be my guest. Based on solar activity, we're heading for a mini Ice Age with peak cold around 2035, much like the mini Ice Age that p

The mini Ice Age in the early 1800s would disagree.
