I doubt you'd get much funding for marketing if the movie itself is "cheap". Though it depends alot on the content. You simply don't produce something like the next blockbuster Bond-movie with a million. However, that doesn't man you need m

Do note that mostly what people go after is what they are being marketed with. If you give multi-million marketing budget to an indie film, do you honestly believe it would fare pale in comparison in popularity against a Hollywood product

Because American movie as a stream of bits is not a product. It is information. Information should be free regardless of it's contents. There should be no such thing as "copyright infringing pattern of bits" for example. Yet it exists, if I

Operating system is more than the kernel. I do consider for example Arch and Ubuntu to be different operating systems although both use Linux as their kernel. Perhaps some people consider the kernel to be the OS and the userland to be whate

I am not familiar with awk, what's the 's+= $7'? What is the argument 2 passed to wc? Why is the produced output different? What am I missing here?

I think it should be a rule in the internet that users should have a right to use whichever pseudonym they wish. Anonymity would be great too, but obviously it does not work in certain cases. I for one won't use Facebook or any other social

We're quite nice in ##C. Try ##C++ next time. :) Although the channels are meant for discussion about standard C/C++ , in IRC it seems that many people actually try to master the standards of these languages and use that as a weapon to m

Can't understand the downvote for this reply... Also what Carmack said is definitely true within the domain he works in, performance is a major concern and whatever cripples it, is not a good solution.

For many people it's easier to understand complex relationships when they're represented in visual form. However, to represent logic in visual form becomes quite damn painful because when the complexity grows, so does the visual area occupi

It's all up to methodologies used to gather evidence, how to interpret the evidence and ultimately how to weigh different aspects of perceived/suspected corruption. We need more transparent and more open societies. Look at SOPA, look at the

The argument about computers and computer technology being almost stagnant for the past 40 years is the science behind it. Look at programming languages. They still borrow from C very heavily. What major advancements have there been dur

Though as far as I'm aware there's no inherent reason for this - apart from cost. One of the things which has made PC so awesome since the early 90's has been the vast array of hardware available - you can just plug something out, plug some

It's nice to learn C, then learn C++98, then learn C++11, stick with it for 5 years and still find that the language has 8379483 quirks you've never heard of . Bjarne vouches for abstractions. Everyone does. What does Bjarne + standards co

Indeed. However, I personally do see that variable names/naming is really something where some people tend to over-engineer things. Say iterating over an array. Why on earth would anyone bother with using "index" instead of "i"? What does

The biggest problem with MOOCs I find is the lack of real engagement with other students. Yes, students are encouraged to socialize together, work together and make it a social effort to complete the course - together with the study group e
