Um.. No.. if you use rebase regularly, you're doing something very wrong. In this case, the problem is that development isn't being done on a branch. One of the most important features of Git is how easy it is to fork & merge - there's

I don't understand why this is being represented as "Your pics can now be stolen" - a key proviso is that they have to do "a diligent search". Google Images (for one) allows you to search by uploading a photo, and I can't remember the last

Yes, but the chemical treatment works by setting up the same kind of internal stresses - IIRC, it replaces the Sodium atoms in the glass with Potassium, and it's the size difference that does the magic.

No, no, this must be a step in the right direction - it brings animal rights up equal to those of human children! After all, if you see a child being sexually abused and use your phone to record it on video as evidence for the police, you

I have to be honest - I find the developer tools a pain: They aren't even close to replacing Firebug, yet they're more obtrusive. So I can't stop using Firebug, and I can't remove the unwanted built-in menu options. So for me personally, wh

AIUI, basically it means that whilst a program written in, say, python, can itself by copyrightable; the python language itself can't be. This means you, or anyone else, can implement your own python interpreter without any fear of being ac
