It's totally fine for anyone to charge to install Firefox -- the software is open source. They cannot advertise their services as a Mozilla Firefox Install Service -- Mozilla's trademark is not free. At the very least, you would h

They wrote a custom parser that works in all browsers -- it doesn't use eval. JSON5 is a subset of ES5, not a subset of JavaScript that runs in all browsers. Notice that it also allows reserved words as keys -- an ES5 feature that does

It could be a poem. Psalm 119 has 22 stanzas, with the first letter of each sentence of the stanza being with the same letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In the first stanza, each verse starts with aleph, in the second beth, and so on.

I have the same complaint about Star Trek. Star Trek pretends to have explanations for things, but they are never consistent, because it's random technobabble. Because of the Monster of the Week format, with little continuity between

This video[1], as far as I know, is where the word doge originated. Know Your Meme[2] agrees, for what it's worth. 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSgRzCAtXA 2: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dog

Assuming you want to try every phone number in the US, that would be almost 10 billion phone numbers. An above average user may have about 1,000 contacts. We want this to run on phones in a reasonable time for 1000 contacts, but be infeasib

Though, the NFL already has 3D reconstruction technology called FreeD. Cowboys Stadium installed 12 4k cameras around each endzone. Using those points of view, they can construct a point-cloud and render a replay with arbitrary camera movem

Rather than putting a semi-colon after every function declaration, I would suggest the Lua convention -- put the semi-colon at the beginning of the line that could cause issues. An empty statement is valid is JavaScript, so this should work

The Creative Commons level zero license is probably the best option. In some jurisdictions it is impossible to give up something into the public domain, so the CC0 explicitly gives up as many rights as possible. If it is possible to put som

That is the point of the patent, isn't it? They have the patent so that no one else can use the same filming style. They don't intend to sue anyone, but if someone is filming in ways that are too similar to theirs, they will try t

Yes. Pope Pius XII acknowledged evolution as compatible with Christianity in 1950, though he did not embrace it. In 1996 Pope John Paul II went further: > Today, more than a half-century after the appearance of that encyclical, some new

This simulation takes on the order of minutes per frame. Perhaps an optimized and simplified version could work in real time in the future.

There's the short film Noah that takes on a teen's computer screen. You might have seen it -- it was posted to HN. Unfortunately, the creators only put it on YouTube for a limited time.

Astronomy was the same as astrology until 1700 or so. Kelsey, who discovered the law of planetary motion, was an astrologer. Copernicus was an astrologer. After Newton formulated in universal gravitation, went into occult studies. Astrolog

These are impressive, but they aren't fission reactors, but fusion reactors. They do not generate power, but they do convert hydrogen to helium.

According to TVTropes, under Wire Dilemma, Get Smart also had an instance of it around the same time, which leads me to believe that it was a widespread trope even then. There is an idea that it originated in WWII, when some German bombs fe

I believe that HTML 5 allows for unquoted values. As long as the attribute doors not contain HTML special characters or spaces, it's legal to omit them.

I read the documents. The one about NewsBuletin seems like it should be a no-brainer. Someone copied the blog posts, posted them on a fake domain, made to look like NewsBulletin, then issued take-down notices as if he owned them, and they w

Trade secret information is not blanket protected. For example, the recipe for Coke is a trade secret, but you can still try to reverse engineer it. You cannot try to steal it, or pay someone to give it to you. It seems that the user agreed

It's difficult, because you cannot see the pixels in an HTML element's rendering with JavaScript. If you could copy a link to a canvas, then you could see if it has been previously visited, for example. So, canvases would not work
