Definitely a well known phenomenon but I'm glad to see more industry professionals acknowledging it and speaking out. I think a lot of the industry's professionals are looking for innovation and a way into the future while the industry itse

"Under current law, shareholders can sue corporate boards for not maximizing profits" Wow, I never new that. Granted I know very little of the legal implications of incorporating, but still. I wasn't expecting it to be so plain. Corporati

Totally agree that if they didn't offer up the prior art to prevent the patent in the first place then they should have. That said who knows if it would have made a difference. Regardless, I think the bigger issue is that even knowing the p

Totally personal preference. I would rather have a language be concise and the documentation verbose than the other way around or with both verbose. Having it be verbose is great for learning, but after a short while syntax like: do_sen

Ok fellas, we still have some serious work to do. If it's not already painfully apparent, our current batch of representatives are completely ineligible to pass modern legislation. They're not idiots, they're not morons, they just don't hav

First of, no one here is bashing anyone. We're talking about how to get people access to the content. Second, you're attempting to take this even more off topic with your meta rant.

Well it's official. The US is little more than a bunch of corporation funded international bullies and the UK is completely willing to play along and turn it's back on it's own citizens.

That's a really cool suggestion and I would love to see some sudo-standard on this.

"competent enough to matter" is a bit condescending don't you think?

Maybe at a bar or restaurant specifically for this purpose but at most places it wouldn't fly / would be useless.

Essential we want to ruin his life over nothing. The net impact of TVshack was certainly not enough to warrant extradition of a foreign citizen and sending him to federal prison. Unfortunately, its impact may have even been positive; encour

I definitely understand it. It's not a matter of understanding the syntax. It's a matter of teaching people most effectively. Here's a comparison of the spoken explanation of the code: 't' equals the value of 'array' at index 'm' minus

Beautiful. I love the visual demonstrations of the less efficient methods as well. This is a great learning tool for a super common programming problem. One general comment/question. Code like this trips me up: t = array[--m]; Well I

Except they're clearly trying to profit off of customer confusion. It's one thing to copy a business model, it's another thing to copy a company.

Thanks for the info and I'll be attending with some people from the office. Seems like that information, though, is a little too important to not include it on the site.

I would be worried of even attempting this. What on earth would you be worried about? Getting asked to leave? Having to look at a police officer?

Do programmers just automatically envision what the script can do? No we read the docs. Is there any value in github for a non-programmer? Not really. There are a few esoteric repos of non code / code related files but the intended use

While I don't appreciate the rhetorical question, good point. I had forgotten about that.

I think what's most interesting about this is it is a great indicator of the public perception of copyright. If even the creator of the harshest pro-greed-based-copyright legislation can't uphold the most modest of copyright provisions, I t

Mmmmm... The funny to flack offset probably isn't worth it to Stewart and Colbert. They're not news shows and there's not much comedy to draw from the SOPA proceedings. Especially with Ameraca's favorite reality show cramming up the broadca
