Going off of that, it'd be really cool to have a wiki for movie transcripts that covers multiple languages. I just searched real quick for a wiki for transcripts and found transcripts.wikia [0] but it doesn't seem to have transcri

I believe it, this reminds me of this rapper called Benefit that got popular using Napster: 'Benefit is up there with MF Doom when it comes to being mysterious. He popped onto the scene in the early 2000's when Napster first blew

Yeah, but now people from all over the world watch American tv shows. For instance in France, americantv shows are huge. Everyone watches them. And I'm sure it's the same elsewhere. So maybe the market has actually grown for Ameri

I think Neil Young said something along the lines of "I look at radio as gone … Piracy is the new radio, that’s how music gets around." He uses the word piracy which doesn't apply here, but I think what he says is relevant in

If the issue is purely financial, could you crowd fund part of your CS education ? People are starting to crowdfund healthcare [1], some are crowdfunding their university education [2]. That being said, I feel like CS is one of the few thin

I think for 2 reasons: a) Americans absolutely hate liars. You can see that in their schooling system at a very young age. Cheating (in the academic sense) in an american school (and I would even generalize to English speaking schools) is,
