Yeah that definition would have to be reviewed and I think the first ~10 years would should be free.

My proposition(probably not original at all) is that we let Disney(and anyone else) extend copyright on thing it wants at an ever increasing (exponential) rate. If they have to pay they will make sure to only keep things under copyright tha

What about Thin? Is doesn't seem to have been considered in the comparisons. Any reason for that?

Could be to see how reliable the results are for the experiment or the OCR I guess. How well they agree.

There is a little bit of gaming in SO that makes it hard to compete with others that are more dedicated to the site. For example, posting a quick answer and then editing it with the answers from others to complete your answer is one I've se

The car reaction time < smaller than yours it also has a better idea of it's surrounding and I bet could pick a much safer course of action than you in a .5 second time frame. Accidents won't disappear but I do think that if a child jum

Yeah I think that trying to emulate the design of the TNG tricorder might be limiting in a way and probably isn't the best design for a mass produced version. This guy needs to start a company and develop the idea. Even if it's just a packa

50 bucks ok? That charity looks like a nice choice. :P My email is in my profile.

If I had to bet i'd bet on a mistrial due to an error by the prosecution. Someone in a previous comment did a rough analysis of why it's not certain that 100% of the 25 petabytes of data on mega uploads servers was unlicensed material. Depe

by nkassis 15y ago
You can't imply that all uploads generating links where done by people who were not licensed to do so. This is why copyright is such a minefield. There is no way to know if someone has a license allowing them to do the things that they do.

Megaupload had some data to support that allegation. There were articles about it on torrentfreaks not so long ago.

Same issue with mouse.

Yeah I agree on a lot of the points you mentioned. Block scoping would have been better in my view also. But there are tools, like in other languages, to ease that pain. I never forget a semicolon due to using js2-mode which makes missing s

You have to stop worrying and learn to love the bomb ;p In all seriousness, I feel that a lot of people(me included) go through a period of hate for javascript until they find that it's actually has some impressive expressiveness using very

I think the author is looking at it as more of an experiment than a valuable project with a positive ROI. As jader201 said he will probably discover that it's a pretty tough thing to do when the code wasn't written with testing in mind. I a

I personally think copyright can be a good thing. My beef is with the never ending length extensions and that everything including the piece of napkin I used to doodle on earlier is covered by it. I think the solution is more to push for it

Apple doesn't make a habit of demoing products still in development. In there case when things crash (as they've done in the past) they don't really have a good excuse when that code will get released in a few days. Microsoft isn't done the

I mean what about previous versions of windows? They ran on tablets and desktops. If you mean non-x86 than windows NT initially was going to target MIPS and later became a x86 first(I believe they still released the MIPS version too).

I like your idea but you'd have to do some hard marketing work to get customers to use it in my opinion. That might not be cheaper than this lawsuit ;p

That's pretty sucky. Does anyone know if chrome for Android support it? I was hoping for WebGL and Websockets in 4.0 but I guess neither is around :(

Has anyone looked at the impact of paywalls on revenues? Has it led to an increase in online revenues for those who attempted it? The problem with the metric used in the article is that it doesn't say much. Was it less online revenues that

It think you missed his point that he doesn't believe in minimum wage. At least that what I get from his comment.

Current cars aren't going to last a full decade without some repairs and maintenance. People don't maintain their computers very well. And upgrading your operating system is part of that maintenance process after a while. Plus changing comp

That's true but for the first part, it's mostly due to a lack of interest by other vendors. For the second part, isn't the nacl team working on a protable version of nacl? It's at least one way to get python in the browser today.

Could you elaborate on what you mean, are you talking about Kevin Rose specifically? What makes you think he's after fame for fame sake?

What about using Native Client (nacl) to compile an implementation of python (without the batteries)?

It works now thank you.

Hey I have a small comment. I'm in Canada currently but I have a US credit card, yet I didn't see anyway to get past the non-US user page. Also I was a little put off by registration page since it at first seems like you need facebook and t
