   I have worked with public domain texts and you are exactly right, it is extremely valuable to be able to ascertain the copyright status of a work based purely on the date of publication (you don't even have to know the date of first pu

   It's possible that the people who oppose these projects are not the same people who miss them when they're gone.

   That's interesting. I didn't realize that only some 5.x devices came with it enabled by default. I can only speculate as to why some devices come with it turned on and some don't, but I've definitely supported some Nexus

   Yes, as far as I'm aware the option to default to NuPlayer system-wide is only present (and default) in 5.x

   In the link #440 reports that disabling "NuPlayer" fixed the issue. This setting is in Settings > Developer options under "Media". I've also found that NuPlayer plays unpredictable havoc with an audio playing

   I'm afraid I'm totally unqualified to give any more information than can be found by searching the web. It looks like you can do everything online and most applications are processed within one hour [1]. The minimum cost for a on

    I believe you can set up a company in Hong Kong online as a foreigner. Additionally, I believe that there is no corporate tax for Hong Kong companies that have no business presence or operations within Hong Kong.

    It obviously depends on the type of side project, but if you can find users, that can be a big motivator to keep on working. Getting emails from people who enjoy your work is very effective at motivating you to continue.

    I also have an audio app with a background audio service on Google Play, and I also have to request the READ_PHONE_STATE permission. I have an explanation in my store listing but I still get emails about it every week. It's totally nut

    This simply doesn't work for pausing audio when the phone rings. The ringer doesn't request audio focus.

    I think you'd be better off designing a scheme for generating secure, easy-to-remember passwords in the first place rather than using hipku. I had to make a lot of compromises to make the entire IPv6 space fit into a haiku. For example

    Great idea. Thanks. I need to find some extra space for fitting in a version number anyway, to preserve backward-compatibility.

    Linode still don't have a $5 offering. Linode's cheapest VPS is $10 per month on a 125Mbit port. DO's cheapest is $5 per month on a 1Gb port. That difference is huge if you're doing high-bandwidth work and you run a ton

    Great project. Love that it's configurable and open source. The analytics are a nice touch. I'm a little confused by the fitness percentage though. 98% or even 99% fitness seems to have very little immediate resemblance to the tar

    Is there any public information about the back-end? Is it doing Markov chains on some suitable corpus or something? I think the cleverest part of the project is choosing well-known image macros to riff on - the format is so limiting that it

    I can't stress enough how dispiriting this is. If you live in the UK, this law increases the minimum capital outlay for selling any digital good online by a factor of a hundred. The idea that someone selling a couple of copies of an
