Talking about generic names, the plaintiff in this case is "Office Corporation". Oh, the irony.

Why would that bit of the license be a problem? (real question, no snark involved) Apple's version of MySQL on Snow Leopard was GPL and distributed on Apple's own website : http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-1068/ Postgres'

It's probably a quip referring to Ulrich Drepper, a kernel hacker whose personality seems to be quite controversial according to a quick Google search. I'd love to hear the GP explain it further though.

French here, and I concur. Quite a few terms are directly borrowed from French or have very clear Latin roots, making them easy to understand even without having actually encountered them in English.

Interestingly enough, the example from the post doesn't work anymore: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=_maxint Gives "Showing results for MAXINT. Search instead for _MAXINT." Clicking on the second link still searches for MAXINT.

It's been suggested on the other thread that he works at Netgem: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netgem (sorry, the link is in French, but it's been deleted from Wikipedia EN). Wikipedia FR for Fabrice Bellard supports this claim. A quick go

I would say Etsy have quite a lot of personality/quirkiness. Whether to like it or not is another matter :) Edit: how could I forget TopatoCo ( http://topatoco.com/ ).

I'm just doing it for the fun; if OkCupid comes to know about it and ask me to remove it (through a courteous email, or something stronger like a DMCA notice or a Cease and Desist), I will comply asap. I don't remember exactly how I came up

"Ask HN"-types posts (i.e. without a link) are heavily disadvantaged. They take more upvotes to get to the front page, and fall down faster.

Good article, but I think the reference to Dropbox is a bit out of place. Online backup/sync, which is what Dropbox does, was readily available when they arrived. The thing was, nobody was using these services because they were not straight

Clickable: http://www.spottiness.com No HTTPS? That's kind of a show-stopper. If I were to be a whistleblower, you'd be damn sure I'd go to Wikileaks or other operations offering secured channels. Oh, and just for the sake of arguing :) G

> Understanding the basic semantics of a language's object model is pretty essential to doing anything much with it. This is usually true, but I'd argue Javascript is different. Due to the language's similarity to C (or Java), lots of b
