This seems largely misguided. Stuff like merging duplicate memory spots (such as that reserved for future use by applications) seems to question programmer judgment in the aim of saving available memory. If the memory is available, you'd do

For those not on Mac OS, it pops up a window that shows you all the Dropbox founders (and maybe some other engineers or something) and then sends a message about how they love working on Dropbox, and then some platitudes like "be yourself"

There doesn't appear to be any non-facebook.com data in the example PDFs -- i.e., no "you commented on TechCrunch" or "you visited TechCrunch which has our widgets". I would suspect this means Facebook just simply did not provide it?

I have issued dozens, probably about 200 at this point, I'd estimate. Selling more is always good advice though, +rep. I'm in an extremely niche market for my best selling stuff, so selling more is likely going to involve new products. Some

You loaded the page directly. It only seems to happen if autosearch was involved. Loading http://www.google.com/search?q=$ { does what you see, but entering ${ in to the search box and pressing enter does what everyone else sees. edit: com

If this is a templating engine type thing, you should be able to do something like ${KEYWORD}${ If you can figure out what "KEYWORD" is for a given template tag as well. I tried links and a few others, but none that I can identify: it does

I don't want my users to update unless they want a new feature from my software. The deal is, if they're not experiencing any issues, don't have any new needs, they might as well not change what isn't broken. I realize updates without any a

Change the name. Metris is just asking for the owner of the Tetris trademark to come after you (and they are quite well known for defending their trademark actively).

Remember that the lawyer in question is not your lawyer. You probably shouldn't take the above (or, in fact, the below - nothing I say is legal advice, nothing in this thread is legal advice) as legal advice. I am definitely not a lawyer, b

Don't cars also cost energy to produce? ...likely substantially more than a bicycle too? And even then, I would imagine, if you're changing your mode of transportation, you're selling your car, and thus preventing someone else from buying a

I've run AdSense on hundreds of websites and I get click rates between 0.5% and 10%. Not 0.05% that's insanely low. Mind you, a lot of those sites (the high end, anyway) are optimized strongly for clicks. The ads show up in the middle of co

Your definition of ethics seems strange. If people don't like what they're doing, they'll stop interacting with them. If they're lying about the bugs, people will stop trusting their explanations (as you have), and evaluate them accordingly
