Recently I wanted to see if some code I wrote still worked on Java 1.x. The only way I could get Java 1.x to run (among my fleet of existing machines) was by installing the windows JDK version to run inside Wine on my Ubuntu. Native Windows

If no letter has been sent about the debt in 2 or 3 years, the owner of the debt loses the right to collect the debt. (I can’t remember exact duration- probably depends on jurisdiction).

The Reznor/Ross track that Old Town Road was built from carries a Creative-Commons Non-Commercial license. But Old Town Road is obviously commercial. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross currently receive a significant portion of the royalti

I'd love to hear more about these cases, but probably they all settle with non disclosures. :-( Are you aware of any specific instances?

Honestly, I think if I wrote something significant enough that I got sued for it - that's probably a VERY good sign about my own prospects and future as a musician. Lil Nas X was completely independent when he created Old Town Road wit

I think the law in the USA is that copyright is maintained until 70 years after the death of the writer/composer (unless it was a work-for-hire). So just another 31 years to go here (2054) assuming Marvin Gaye was the sole author.

I see Ed Sheeran's (as well as Katy Perry's) successful copyright defenses as evidence song writers are doing fine. Katy Perry's earlier defeat (for Dark Horse) luckily reversed on appeal last year. Toni Basil also had an int

#29 No Tables. How does that help performance? Sure on very large pages that might help, since the table usually won't render until the </table> has been sent, but maybe the better tip would be "avoid very large pages" (i.e. 100KB

I wonder if this means anyone can use MapReduce (even outside of Apache code). ON the other hand I see no mention of 'derivative works' in this section of the license. So, yeah, I'm curious if this patent license is transitive such that pe

I feel sorry for John_Onion. The comments here are coming from people who have never looked at server logs (e.g. 'how do you know those are all spiders?'). Looking at my logs I would say at least 75% of my hits (juliusdavies.ca) are spide

I don't think he's greedy. 15% of appreciated isn't that much: assuming the current auction settles for $2500, and in the next auction it sells for $2600, then that's only $15. I suspect agent's fees are usually a % of total, not a % of
