Is it possible to sue a patent troll for time and legal fees if you win the original case? I know they are basically shell corporations, but it would be great to see these patent cases incurring some risk for the trolls.

I don't think it's a bad deal for the designers as long as they aren't spending huge amounts of time on each idea. It's probably less effort than I spend on a proposal and I'm not guaranteed to get any work from that. in my experience the

I do know what you mean, I'm at that stage where I start to care more about process more than anything. It's not about getting the job done - it's about getting the job done efficiently and with as few mis-steps as possible. It's easy to s

Another term I like to use is analysis paralysis - basically spending all of your time preparing to do something, but getting bogged down in the preparation instead of the actual goal.

A boss who tells you to crank something out in a hour won't remember (or care) about that detail in 6 months when you need to tweak that code. It'll just be your fault for writing bad code. Some clients do this kind of thing as well. The

that's really cool - reminds me of I think of a similar program google has. Having it at a specific time seems like it could be good. thanks for sharing

I don't think that posts ever reached 100% of your friends or fans. I can't find the article but I remember something like 40% was the amount of friends who see any given post. I don't really mind it but it would be nice to have a little

As somebody who is stuck for the foreseeable future maintaining a huge AIR app I resemble that comment! It's kinda a drag though because AIR actually provides a fantastic cross-platform solution for desktop apps. Even thought they are in A

Well you are correct that some bands are only "in it for the music" but in fact that attitude can get you screwed even harder when you're negotiating with a label. A lot of musicians are comfortable with a meager living - but not too many o

Games that I really like and have purchased, I would be hard-pressed to complete 100 levels before growing a bit tired of the game. I can only think of perhaps two games that I have gone that far. Perhaps I'm not a loyal gamer or a super-f

Unfortunately many young artists are literally begging labels to make them famous. They assume that money comes along with that, but its not necessarily the case. I was one of those people once and got a fairly standard (crappy) deal. We'

This is exactly how record deals work as well, I can tell you first hand. The added kick in the nuts which isn't even mentioned is that if the project starts to come close to the level of profit where the artists would get payment - all th

I think this is a perfectly reasonable question especially when it is so easy to slap some code in a table. It can seem like a lot of bloat just to get two columns center-aligned on the page when you're used to using tables. But, I think t

How I would think that it should work is the client downloads your token when you register the software. If you decide to share your license, the more people who use your token, the more likely that token will hit the 1,000 per day / 350

Well perhaps they are arguably robbing the rich, but they're certainly not paying the poor. The reason I don't like TPB is not because of pirating, but rather they are making money from others' work while pretending its about freedom. It es

Interesting point. I suppose with PayPal there's a bit of "David vs Goliath" to it. The ice block is also exceptionally more clever than just posting flyers that say "we're cheaper"

I'd imagine also that company X would want some compensation considering the event company allowed a competitor to advertise at their session (which I'm sure cost them a lot) for free. Even though its not the event companies fault, why woul

There's thousands of humanitarian discussions that we could discuss - human trafficking, politics, wars, global warming etc. Speaking for myself, it's not that I don't want to discuss these issues - it's just that I come to HN for tech-spe

I'd be curious to know if jQuery Deferred object passes the same promise test that RSVP.js mentions. (Not quite curious enough to run the test myself though, work is a bit to crazy today. Wait, what am I still doing on HN!)

It is sad but, to be fair, this is a tech forum and there are places to go for other types of news.

Agreed, I should have clarified that I meant hypothetically if the author started out with some example code that was supplied by the API owner under the GPL.

I bet if Apple had written their own map app from the beginning then all third-party map apps would all be restricted to using the iOS map engine - the same way third party browsers are limited to using the webkit engine.

There is still a rule in the guidelines that mentions "Apps that duplicate Apps already in the App Store" though it doesn't specify whether those apps are Apple's own, or any other developer (in fact, comically, the rule lists "fart apps" a

The rules that Apple applies are sometimes mysterious and seem to evolve over time. They seem to have certain areas that they block competition, but others where they seemingly don't care. Map apps seem to be ok, but apps that step on the

The author writes about his love of contributing to open source, but since his code has no license this may not even be open source code at all. The author should put some kind of license with his code so that it is used the way he wishes.

Meh, I get annoyed when people try to make something seem racist that isn't. Is it so hard to believe that Asians would be interested in a style blog? No, that isn't the point. Is it hard to believe that a promoted post for an English la

At least for myself, I think there's a gray area between being socially awkward and being selfish. And if the selfishness is not intentional then I might even call it self-ignorance. I had the good fortune in my 20's of hanging around an u
