This to me is the sticking point. The biggest benefit to society for patents is: you get the formula (but can only use it once the patent expires). I would imagine that no one short of lawyers has ever bothered to read expired software pate

Can't emphasize enough how much I wish GCE had PostgreSQL support. Managing and maintaining our database is something I'd love to hand off to my cloud provider. MySQL simply doesn't cut it these days, and RDS has made me happ

I tend to agree with you. It is strange in the sense that the government is free to build such software itself, and subpoena Apple for such knowledge to do so, but instead is compelling Apple to act in a substantial way. For Scalia's r

It appears that they represent boards that are supported by the IDE. It probably makes sense to state what you're compatible with (e.g. a monitor might advertise it works with both Macs and PCs)

I think the joke is that DNS just hides IP addresses, it doesn't do away with them. No IP address = no DNS.

It would be great if there were a service that allowed you to search non-cached controlled 301s a crawler had encountered.

I don't know why you're being down-voted. The US is in the midst of an election cycle that may very well pertain to the "legislative action" of the parent comment (in so far as the executive has an effect on the legislat

To add to that, it looks like OP's entire post is how he's revising his opinion in light of new facts.

What are the penalties associated with these 2,555 incidents? I assume it's not legal to smuggle a loaded gun onto a flight, and these numbers are staggeringly high.

Again, asking here since it's easier, but sorry if that wasn't the intent. To get a better understanding of what LIGO is observing, does every massive object create a gravitational wave as it moves? Do gravitational waves act simi

Data URLs should be ~1.37x the size [0] of the original file (and generally, kept in the same format). Obviously, there are issues of caching, keeping the image loaded in memory, etc, but it shouldn't be all that bad. Esp. when you con

The actual computational work this app is going to be doing is rather small (waiting on IO). I would be more concerned about wasting memory leaving this running all the time.

It would be great to have these all as a full set of toggles on one settings page with "Fast", "Secure", "Paranoid" presets.

Yes, which is basically how much someone would pay to own the company today = discounted expected long-term profits.

When you consider the fact that you experience the the effect even across multiple lines, then this explanation really doesn't sound as likely. Or, what you're saying is correct, just applied one layer up.

Agree that was probably too soon, even if it existed in some form. I've often wondered why precisely people love JavaScript on the server. I would guess it's a mix of 1) event machine parallelism, 2) isomorphism, 3) speed (since V

Aside of the closed-source aspect, that is a great way to run a secure peer-to-peer messaging platform / social network. I believe this is how iMessage also encrypts communication.
