First, in this case, sample is so small that noise dominates. On your main questions, yes, established apps with known average-beating clickthrough and (where possible) targeted demographics are matched to higher-paying-per-click lower-volu

Ah I thought you were naming BusyBox as an infringing work, not an infringed. Anyway, it does seem, as mentioned in the article, that if the copyright holder rereleases a similar work under a similar license, a past infringer gets a fresh s

Software doesn't violate licenses, people do. Anyone who violates the license of a work loses their license to the work. A more pointed question then is about who violates/loses the license: an individual coder? A corporation/foundation?

The media publish what their audience wants to look at. Don't wait on the media, wait on the public, and seek out media outlets not by how much you respect the publisher, but by how much you respect the taste of the audience.

Ironically, your example is reality! Cake artists use fondant to make gorgeous high-price wedding and party cakes with intricate and beautiful decorations, but that taste awful. It makes one wonder why we have an industry of cake art instea

The thing about computer security flaws is that unless someone makes a point of publicly exploiting them, others will go around quietly exploiting them. It is almost certain that someone was quietly siphoning Jonathan's card. Would all the

Well, It is quite possibly scalable to allow impoverished to take free bread, if there is a defined poverty level and an insurance safety net provided by the not impoverished. This is the principle behind Social Security

From a business persepctive, Sam Odio's action was fantastic. He made one of the best answers ever seen for the YC application question "when have you hacked a system?" He walked up to a pile of money just sitting their being used for a sub

Why not use free PicasaWeb for this? $5 gets you bbasically unlimited storage. The only answer I can say myself is that PicasaWeb uses the ugliest possible lossy compression settings on all photos it displays.

I think you mean "pointer type", not "variable". 0xblah could very well a be valid pointer value. Anyway, Array subscripting (brackets) is not an operator in C. It is just syntactic sugar. This is different from C++ (but even in C++, C comp

This works just as well in dynamically typed language by using your language's version of .getClass() or instanceof. It would just happen at runtime instead of compile time. It only wouldn't work in very weakly typed languages like ... asse

To first order approximation, C is the language with no magic. That's its most beloved quality. That gets you really far, until you get creamed by all the subtle magic in pointers and arrays.

It is also interesting to note that this behavior of '+' in C an C++ and Java is basically (logically) multiple-dispatch on the types of its arguments, but the language does not allow programmers to define operators like this -- C does not

That behavior of "+" is defined in the standard, so you don't have to worry about which conforming compiler you are using. Adding integers to pointers can't be a syntax error, since otherwise arrays would be impossible. The commutativity of

As noted in the SO comments: when compiling the "+", the compiler uses the sizeof of the referenced type of whichever addend is actually a pointer.

Don't be silly. Refilling a meter to circumvent the time limit or cover up a violation is illegal in some jurisdictions. Paying someone else's bill is not illegal.
