The polish paper copied his design. But, as the designer, he hasn't lost anything (unless he was bidding for a chance to apply the same design to that polish paper and lost the bid to this other person). He didn't lose money, pres

This is not to say that learning one language is a waste of time when you then proceed to another language. But, learning one language isn't learning how to code, any moreso than learning how to punch is the same as learning karate --

I'm somewhat surprised that this essay didn't mention how close the constraints of an anti-mac interface correspond to the 'unix philosophy' / human interface best practices for command line applications. (This brea

Life is inherently meaningless -- all meaning must be created by human beings. So, you don't find meaning -- you impose it upon your life. Decide what meaning you would like your life to have, then change your life to suit the meanin

Bandwidth usage patterns often occur over much longer periods of time. As a result, while a markov model could be used, you'd need a large order, and you'd need to give it a lot of data (like, ten to fifteen years because bandwidt
