It already does that, and I don't discount that it could actually get worse instead of getting better. However, I am an optimist. (Assuming you have a legitimate patent). Can you personally realistically sue Microsoft for patent infringemen

The real issue here is the hegemony that gives a single coalition governments the ability dictate worldwide patent and copyright law. It seems that if that didn't exist, people interested in innovating and creating great, new, things would

I have noise cancelling headphones. They cost maybe $50 dollars. Therefore, it doesn't effect my productivity at all.

In fact, if everyone is working a 60 hour week, they should have hired an extra 2 1/2 developers. If you aren't making enough money to cover the extra 100 hours of development, perhaps you need to change your pricing strategy or have lower

It is a talking point from our country's politicians (who already have what would be offered under a real universal healthcare bill) who are in the pocket of private insurance companies, big pharma, and the like. Call me a cynic if you like

The OP is correct if you do not have clearly defined goals for the project, and it is a field that you have not really worked in before. This is probably true of some start-ups. However, if you are working for an engineering company, often

It is still sustainable. The USPS is being forced to prepay its retirement benefits 75 years into the future (i.e. for people that aren't even alive yet or are just being born). It has been profitable to the tune of a couple hundred million

It looks like a terminal/repl to me. First I tried ls, then I tried to type in some lisp code. It did not work! ;-) /s This is pretty easy to use. But I don't think the issue with pastebin clones is ease of use.

Unless the American hegemony collapses in the next few years, I think that it is a realistic view rather than a cynical one.

I think the issue is that it is technically correct that this bill wouldn't 'shut down' YouTube. There is no language in the bill that prohibits sharing of non copyright infringing videos on the internet. However, the language of the bill w

I like this idea. On the graphics end, it might be better to modify an FPS engine, like the DOOM3 engine. You will get better graphics, and if you are simply generating a TV show, you don't really need the scalability that an MMO provides.

It would be interesting to see some other metrics with regard to this data. Cost and schedule are the first things that managers look at, but as a client I would also be looking at stuff like SQA, code quality, completeness of my specificat

I seem to remember it being that you could see anyone at your college. Which made it defacto public because strangers had access to your profile. (You had no access control with your profile). As long as I had a college email I could see an

Yes, most of it is done in higher level elisp modules. I think you are right, however, in that it is not obvious that it would be faster in all situations. You would get the advantage of compiling the elisp modules to machine code, but you

Personally, I failed the ITA puzzle. (Either I failed it or they looked at my resume post-fact and decided I wasn't smart or qualified enough... probably a combination). So, here is my opinion as a non-halfway-decent programmer. I thought p

I'm not a Rubyist, but the price tag isn't really the offensive part. 2,800 is fine for 12 2 hour classes. If you include grading and one on one help, it is a potential bargain. Here is the offensive part (to me, anyway): Students who succ

Personally, I find the $2,000 Macbook and $800 chair offensive. I just know well enough to keep my opinions on what people ought to spend their money on to myself (most of the time).

No, but if you can control travel to and from the resource, then you can park your forces there, and say, shut off the population's air supply. Better yet, threaten to do so, unless they all get onboard a shuttle. Sure, but the important

Well, let's say I want to gather minerals from an asteroid. My primary defense would probably be to paste a big honking weapon on the asteroid and shoot anyone who wants to take over my valuable mining facility. If I put my defenses on some

Space combat seems pointless to me. What exactly would they be fighting over? Presumably you want to reach space for resources, so asteroids, planets and moons with minerals, stuff like that. You might also want planets/asteroids/moons tha

I don't entirely disagree, but I think there's more to it than that. While the language certainly does offer some free choices, more often there are advantages and disadvantages to each, so that in any particular situation, some choices ar

I use lisp in a commercial setting. The main point about lisp is 'there is no accounting for taste'. Lisp leaves most things up to the programmer's taste. You can write Lisp that looks like Fortran, or C++/Java, or Scheme. You can make a DS
