Yes, obviously that 4.5bn dollars will be put on a giant pile and set aflame, gone forever. I'm no fan of software patents but the idea that money just disappears like that is crap.

I speak Dutch (actually Flemish; my mother tongue), English and French. I've had Latin in school but that's long forgotten. Learning Spanish since recently.

That only holds if all your formula are guaranteed to halt. I guess that's true if they're limited to arithmetic functions, without looping or recursion of any kind. Also do note that what you're saying is only easy in theory. In practice i

Everyone hates WBC, news at 11? Glad to see there's something everyone on any spectrum manages to agree on.

In my last year at uni, I followed a compilers course "for fun". Some people advised against it, because it would be a time-consuming course with little practical value. At one of my first job interviews, the interviewer said "Why did you w

I love Kickstarter. Such a pity it won't work for Europe :-( How difficult/expensive is it for a European to get a US bank account such that I could create a Kickstarter project?

I built an isometric strategy game in HTML5 and had to give up because of lousy performance in most browsers (barring Chrome). Maybe my code sucked, but I'm not a complete amateur either...
