This is probably the most telling bit of information: The provisions of ORS 44.520 (1) do not apply with respect to the content or source of allegedly defamatory information, in civil action for defamation wherein the defendant asserts

A lot of people have voiced similar concerns on this thread and I strongly disagree, at least with the part where you say "no math=no value". I know plenty of people at my work who probably can't add two fractions together but are still ext

I was particularly annoyed that though they mentioned he has degrees, they never said what the degrees are in.

While the merits of going to space are certainly arguable, stating that we haven't gotten very far from earth since 1980 is particularly irrelevant. We have been to the moon. We could go again, for less money, if we wanted to. Does the fact

So, if a user came and visited my site, which was www.zideck.com (It's not there any more), they would see my web page. If they were to visit http://zideck.com they would see auto generated spam garbage that said stuff like "What you need

I used name.com for a website once. I used them for my DNS also (because I don't know how to set up a separate DNS) and they parked there own auto-generated crap at everything except the www subdomain. Apparently, if you are savvy enough to

Imagine if this could be used for communication (probably not, but you never know). That means you could have communication between two mechanical entities at the opposite sides of the earth without worrying about pesky radio wave things li

I think this sounds ridiculously cool and at $20 I could probably afford to play around with it. But I have no knowledge of hardware, just programming. To me chips just look like thin green rectangular prisms. How would I get it to actually

I love this. I have in my mind a future where we don't just use open source software for our computers, but we use open source designs for our home appliances and electronics. I have the feeling that, if done well, you could get all sorts o

Do you remember when the Italians shut down Italian wikipedia because the Italian government was going to pass something stupid? Since this legislation would make it possible to sue wikipedia in the united states, it would make sense for wi

Am I the only one who read this and though, well that's sad for the author, but isn't Amazon asking for too much in general? I mean, we're talking about e-books. I imagine I could probably make an online bookstore that sells ebooks and give

Sort of. The only way to tell if a person made a request is if you control all the nodes that this person is connected to. If you do not control even one node that a person is connected to, there is always the possibility that the request c

Man in the middle attacks may not work as well as you think. While it is possible to create false information using this darknet mechanism, it is possible using things like PGP to ensure that you are getting data from the same node. Of cour

Of course I have never programmed in Haskell, so perhaps I am showing my ignorance, but my impression of Haskell is that it has all of the type restrictions of java plus many, many more. My point is that a language like Haskell (or Java, ta

He seems to be under the misapprehension that libraries would be impossible or extremely difficult if you added restrictions to the language. This is illogical. Languages with many more restrictions, like Haskell, can still have useful li

What an incredible cop out. Basically this is an entire page of saying nothing. Nothing at all. He's not saying they are going to do something about the patent problem. He's not saying they aren't. He is just trying to inspire you without c

I actually respect the CEO very much who realizes he has made a wrong decision and backs away from it. It shows the type of humility that almost no one in that position has. Furthermore, companies exist to make customers happy, so if the cu

When is the contest over? Last time I tried to do one of these things I only had about a week which was not enough time for me to come up with a quality program. Otherwise I would like to compete.

So he seems to not like Go or Arc. I like Go a lot but I am always interested to hear other opinions. While I'm sure he has good reasons for this, I wish he would have included them. It seems like he's saying "I don't really like this, here
