   The thing is, law is nothing more than codified morality. I do believe, in a court of law, that we should make a distinction between theft and copyright. Several Supreme Court justices agree that this is the case. However, when looking and

   I don't buy into the utopian ideals. I offer plenty of work up as OSS, but when someone chooses not to, I respect that as well.

   I've released plenty of OSS myself, and I agree with what you are saying. Unfortunately, the OSS movement is also co-opted by people who are willing to steal to get what they want, and use ideological mantras of the OSS movement to justify

   Good thing I'm not a complete idiot, or I wouldn't know or understand fair use. People tend to forget that fair use is limited in its scope. Unfortunately, a lot of people's idea of fair use is, "I want it, so I'm gonna take it." It IS a mo

   It's amazing, and frankly stupid, how many people try to justify theft. Sorry guys, regardless of what utopian ideals of OSS you have, and I have them too, you must respect the creator's wishes. If they ask you to pay for the software, then

   With the upgrade to python, anyone relying heavily on packages is definitely have to upgrade. Not may package devs are going to want to maintain ST2 AND ST3 packages.

   I'm a big fan of the Nil theme ( https://github.com/nilium/st2-nil-theme ). I really love the modified indicator on the tabs. Just be sure to follow the instructions when installing, because you have to turn on a sublime setting. Also, be s

   I've never started a project on Kickstarter, but it seems like it would be good for them to offer materials, guides, and potentially a mentor network for entrepreneurs. Maybe even going as far as explicitly walking new applicants through a

   Guess I'll have to continue not using Instagram. All joking aside, this was the worst possible time for them to do this, considering Twitter and Flickr both attacking their space more and more now.

    No problem. I think the suggestion below, about using empty lines, might be a good approach to pursue. One additional thing to consider about the trailing-whitespace, a lot of (sometimes anal) developers have set up hooks to automatically s

    Hmm, it looks like a lot of work has been put into simplifying object notation down to it's bare minimum, but the trailing whitespace and array representation both concern me. Significant trailing whitespace, as @cynwoody said, is a really

    I would be happy with a one-time fee to use my domain name. I don't care about anything else, just the domain name on the email address.

    This could become a rich field of great new startup ideas ( http://www.pvshapp.com/#feature_requests/50b6b9796b411f9c000... ), or it could become a vast wasteland of stupidity ( http://www.pvshapp.com/#feature_requests/50bcf7d5e4ca239c000..

    I could consistently re-create antennagate on my iphone 4 every single time I "held it wrong." I was forced to completely change the way I help my phone, permanently.

    I have absolutely nothing to back this up, but I feel like the glass back is a emotional and subjective tactile distinction. My iPhone 5 feels cheaper than my iPhone 4. One of the biggest reasons (aside from weight), is the aluminum back. I

    It's a bold step to say that it's bad for people to cheapen their life experiences. While I personally agree with the author, other people choose to live their life in a way that is meaningful to them, in their own ways. Who am I to say the

    You don't need to write your own data binding in backbone. Several smart developers have already written plugins for this very thing. I usually forget about backbone plugins when workin on a new problem, and get halfway down my thought proc

    I especially like the fact that the reddit hive mind has completely ignored this story, but any time some pizza guy gives President Obama a hug, or Mitt Romney stumbles on his words, it makes the front page.

    I always felt that the L-connector was way to strong. There are plenty of times where it should have disconnected, but it didn't. It feels like it's only safe for really sharp tugs.

    This sucks. I, like several of you here, use iGoogle as my homepage. It's been my homepage since iGoogle came out in 2005. Portals make excellent homepages, so I'm not sure what Google is getting at here. I just tried Netvibes. It's ok, but

    I typically just apply a posterize adjustment layer in photoshop and still save out to 24-bit. More often than not I can get pretty good compression, and I have the ability to mask out different areas of the posterization to achieve varying

    I'm glad he covers the commonjs / amd issue. We use a commonjs implementation as well, but it feels like more and more libraries are going to amd. Like soundcloud, the amd approach just isn't ideal when you get to a certain number of compon
