I think if I ever get that suggestion, my response will be something like, "Ok. I can generally be found at the following location during working hours: ...." (which wouldn't be too difficult for them to find out if they really cared to).

I imagine that sort of implementation issue is only relevant to the typical user if that user comes across a case where the potential inefficiency of NFA->DFA conversion (or NFA simulation) actually does happen. I'm not sure how common

I was under the impression that that was the definition of a "work for hire" situation (IANAL either).

That's not unreasonable - you don't own World of Warcraft you own a license to play it. The distinction being made here is not between holding copyright and holding a license. It is between owning a copy and holding a license.

I thought what I quoted was about ACM/IEEE. $198 per year (less than that for students) to the ACM gets you unlimited access to their online archives. I didn't check the IEEE rate, as I rarely encounter a paper I have to get from them inste

I can foresee software being able to discern good paintings from bad based purely on supervised learning from examples, with today's technology. Unless we manage strong AI, I expect this effort to get stuck in arguments over feature selec

That still only takes care of the cost of hosting. It does not deal with the labor cost for reviewing the documents.

I think GP is arguing that the incentives are such that no conspiracy is needed.

What you give to someone else may not be code -- it might just be the code's output.

The title conjures images of a person breaking a macbook as a symbol of breaking up with Apple now that Steve is gone. I think seeing "b3ta.com" next to the link kept me from expecting anything nearly that serious.

The university has the right to ask you to submit your work however they want as a condition to course completion. If you don't want to submit your work to turnitin you don't have to complete the course. Nobody's forcing you to. And what

But even in dataflow architectures (for example, the float4+float4 example) there are places where you want the different paths to meet. That's where synchronization (a barrier) is needed, as both results need to be available before the op
