   Wrong question. The right question is why there aren't more programming languages. That is, there is only one C++ commitee saying what C++ shal be, and imposing on all C++ programmers their view on what control structure, what object s

    You don't. You have to pay the bills and feed the kids, and foremost, to eliminate debt. If you can, you may work on your project in the evenings and week-ends.

    To the left startup, you don't have to explain anything. To new potential employers, just say "It wasn't a good culture fit." Basically, you don't have to explain anything either, (and probably should not), but you

    Exactly. The screen dump shows that it was under the GPL v2. The GPL gives permission to use the code, so nobody can claim that they used it without permission, not even the author. The GPL requires that the source of the derived work be di
