Yeah of course it's fair use. A guide is a commentary work and it's not even close to substituting for someone buying the game. The point of copyright law is for the copyright owners to be able to make a profit -- copyright is to help encourage people to make and sell stuff. You aren't competing for sales with their game, so there's basically no way you're violating the game copyright. Just don't include video walkthroughs of the whole game (which could actually be a substitute good for buying the game).

If they've published their own game guide, just don't take any material from it and you won't be violating any copyrights on that either.

For trademark, the point is to prevent consumers from being confused about who is responsible for products, so people can build up a brand name and have a reputation they are responsible for and have control over. Guide titles like, "Ubergeek's Ultimate Unofficial Guide to Diablo 3" do not violate trademark because they do not cause any confusion about whose product this is. It's well established that you can use someone else's trademark as a substring in your product title when it's important to explaining what your product is and won't cause consumer confusion. (Similarly, "Pegasus Case for iPhone" or "Ubergeek's iPod Battery Replacement Kit" would not violate trademark.)

But, yes, as you say: being completely right doesn't prevent you having to defend yourself and spending time and money on that. (Could you recoup lawyers fees after you win? I have no idea about that.)

DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer. (But I have read some legal sources about this.)
It does a good job at exposing how bad the B&W sidebar in Lion. The top half of Caffeinated' sidebar is B&W to match Apple apps, the bottom half is colorful as it should to provide color cues (the ones in the article's screenshot wouldn't need them though). Looks really unbalanced IMHO.
This sort of event buffer may also be achieved by leveraging Change Data Capture (CDC) features if they are supported by your data store. For example, when CDC is enabled in SQL Server, an agent service will periodically examine the transaction log and move data changes to transient "buffer tables" automatically. Since this is happening as a background service, there is no need for a developer to explicitly perform a write operation to these buffer tables.
He home schools his kids, which is inline with what he is stating are his current beliefs.

That doesn't really make much sense. If reading articles is your main application for the device, why not buy the iPad 2 especially after the huge price drop?
Prioritizing G+ over an open API (and a "Chinese wall" between the apps and the platform) is still preferential treatment, and is the sort of thing that got Microsoft consent-decreed.

I understand that you read about a "a neutrino network that would transmit directly through the Earth, for true point-to-point communication," but you obviously didn't read the paper. Here it is. http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.2847 It's a proof-of-principle. A stunning achievement, no doubt. But it's hardly a practical option for communication, "The link achieved a decoded data rate of 0.1 bits/sec with a bit error rate of 1% over a distance of 1.035 km, including 240 m of earth."

I am certain a world full of autodidacts would supersed the university system we see today. For these autodidacts the universe might truly become a "University of Life". I am also certain that the true barriers keeping most people from becoming autodidacts are not financial or social but rather built by the schooling system into our minds. This schooling system itself was probably setup to create obedient soldiers and weapons technicians so as to win wars. Can someone please queue Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall" [1]?

No, not really. They don't want to be your computer; that would mean you have a computer. They want to convince you to replace your computer with a thin client that forwards all actual data and computation to them. That's their ultimate business proposition: you get analyzed for ad-men, and they make the big mean scary monster of responsibility for one's own computing go away.

Interesting. Given that I primarily use PostgreSQL, I have not come across this feature in my day-to-day. However, I can imagine building such a thing in PostgreSQL. Perhaps with a system of triggers and dblink [1] one can create a mechanism to achieve a similar result.

According to Facebook's S1 filings, their expenses correspond to roughly $1 per user per year, and their revenue is $4 per user per year.

"my prejudices lie rather in favor than against GOP candidates. [...] I'm sure [Santorum] could appeal to the same base without this - there must be other issues and things he could use as his special advantage. I don't believe one has to go that stupid."

Alas, then you don't really understand the GOP. These beliefs are representative of a large chunk of the GOP base. Santorum's success is not a fluke in that regard.
> PyPy still have a long startup time.

This is false last time I looked. Try it. It's a little more than CPython but definitely not "long". It's nothing like the JVM startup time, for instance.

The CS department at my university had nothing about Y Combinator either. It had the largest, most prestigious tech companies handing out job offers and well-known grad programs handing out admission letters instead.

Frankly, not everyone is meant for the Silicon Valley rat race. Not everyone's cool idea can be canned into a website or a mobile-phone app. Some people think differently.

I encourage you to try it. Don't believe in Y Combinator. Don't believe in Silicon Valley and its silly "startup" culture (SV-style start-ups make up the vocal minority of all actual start-ups). What is it you want to do? Believe in yourself.

I can't imagine applying a workflow like this without magit. It sounds like so much grunt work.
But there are far more people with ideas than people who can program. Programmers aren't in any way the commodities in this scenario.
I'm not sure that (3) is likely. Python offers a number of features:
1: It's easy to learn--this cannot be understated
2: With numpy and matplotlib, you can really hit the ground running
3: There is enough language support to extend applications to GUIS, webapps, etc.
4: There's a HUGE code base that's already moved over from straight fortran, C++, IDL, etc.
5: Binding old libraries (in fortran 77, C, etc.) is fairly straightforward. No one really wants to rewrite the BLAS libraries from scratch in javascript...
6: Moving forward, PyCuda allows GPU based computing
7: Just curious, what other languages would you suggest that can satisfy some of the above?

Personally, I'm meeting more and more scientific programmers who use python and a combination of C/fortran for lower level work--having a common tongue is useful!

It think you missed his point that he doesn't believe in minimum wage. At least that what I get from his comment.
One of my friend got a notice from Optimum Online for downloading Adobe Photoshop sometime last year. So I think yes, there is marginal policing that is going on form ISPs already.

I think this probably is a better solution than RIAA going after people and suing them for absurd amounts of money. While I don't agree on policing on principle, this could be the least acceptable alternative.

Though, I think this is also a good time maybe for VPN services to mushroom around other parts of the world that could be used from USA? (Though, technically you are more easily traceable when using a VPN, since you have signed up with some identifiable information.)

No, I had to check that, but it doesn't appear to be true. `id` uses the ptr of the object in CPython, and:

>>> a = 1
>>> id(a)
32855992
>>> a += 1
>>> id(a)
32855968

So it's actually creating a new Integer object, which `a` then points to, or in other words:

a += 1 is equivalent to a = a + 1

This behavior makes sense, if you wrote:

a = 10
b = a
a += 20

You wouldn't expect b to be 30.

Basically, in a client-server relationship, use persistent buffering on the client-side so that the client can tolerate server downtime.

I like the simplicity of this approach. It's best to keep the low-level stuff as simple as possible when building distributed systems. It will get complicated soon enough at the higher levels.

Sounds like you are trying to arrive to predefined conclusion. Given the sorry state of public education, where schools graduate illiterate people unable to read their own diploma, if homeschooling is a sign of something it is a sign of deep commitment to the child's education. The second argument is even weaker - it sounds like if he had a lot of degrees, he'd be against education, and if he had none, he'd be against education. Solid argument needs more than that. You can see in parallel branch I am very far from being fan of Santorum, however disliking him does not mean getting to his level and starting to use prejudices instead of solid argument.
1. Think carefully before you code.

2. Then you code.

I dunno reg, it struck me as ordinary journalistic due diligence. Showing up at his doorstep might have been a bit much (although we praise reporters for doing that in cases with just slightly more scandal than this one). But she didn't do that.

Overall, I thought it was one of the best-written pieces of of mass-market journalism about our community that I've read in... well, years actually. Stuff like this should be encouraged.
There's a large (large enough to be detectable) amount of people that believes 9/11 was organized by Bush and the moon landing was filmed in Hollywood. Yet you do not see Obama saying that or any sane politician promoting that. There's a difference between leading and appealing to the base (pun intended) instincts. I know politicians frequently do the latter, and it is disgusting every time.

CDC is definitely a more enterprise-y feature (Oracle, SQL Server, etc.). I have had to build the same sort of tracking via triggers in the past, so I would definitely agree with you. I am not super familiar with the PostgreSQL road map, but maybe it is a long-term goal.
In my case this was because Git has a model of version control that is nowhere as straightforward as SVNs and several hundred command line options without any good indication of what to do when.

We also had a lot of problems with what I think of as "Linux Arrogance" - the person who took the lead on rolling out git refused to even try to help anyone not using git in a bash shell, which is an issue when all the devs are .net developers with no cygwin experience.

Once you can figure out the commands you need to use git is very nice, but it's a nightmare to start and requires a big mental step backwards to teach someone with no exposure to it.
Sure, and let's let employers remove all other protections as well as the minimum wage and "employees decide to accept or reject them"!
Ah, definitely an important case there, since not all used cars are created equal.
It's as if you're saying "I don't understand what this part does, therefore it can't be that important."

Eliminating minimum wage or overtime pay would definitely have a material effect on the economy. Nobody disputes that. If you want to get rid of labor laws, you should either argue that that effect is desirable, or argue that while the effect is undesirable, freedom to contract is more important.

Does sort by magic work for you after the recentish overhaul? For me (and it seems from my searches, for a lot of others) it just ran out of magic pixie dust. When I turn it on, I get a never-ending stream of engadget posts, which is normally not at all what I want nor what I used to get.
In my opinion branching _used_ to not be as neatly implemented as it is in Git, but that is no longer the case.

A couple of versions ago a new feature was added into core mercurial, called "bookmarks". Mercurial bookmarks are the same as Git branches.

So now you can use the "git style branches" (i.e. bookmarks) in mercurial, or you can use the regular mercurial-style branches (which I personally prefer to git's anyway). In addition you can use "anonymous" branches, which AFAIK do not exist in git at all.
The reason behind labor standards is to cut off the the distribution curve at a lower limit. If you leave market forces at work, you'll get people working at near slavery conditions because they lack other economic choices (or they think hey do, which is the same thing). Remember that some people used to choose slavery before it was outlawed. The lawmaker sets minimum standards so people don't get exploited because they come from a weak negotiating position.

Specifically speaking to this law, i don't think it matters as much because IT professionals don't have a weak bargaining position.
And macros aren't just for optimizations -- they can also provide additional compile time checks, for example checking that regex strings are well-formed, or that the arguments to printf, or printf-style interpolated strings, match the provided format specifiers.

Economically, the GOP, while being far from what I would like, is closer to that than the Dems. Of course, it is all relative - lately, by not letting a good crisis to go to waste, Dems moved severely to the anti-libertarian direction, and the GOP was dragged kicking and screaming a bit to the libertarian direction. So the choice here would be between quite bad and somewhat not as bad as that. Economic issues are usually far more pervasive than social issues - you can filter out 99% of social issues by turning off the TV, but the economy will influence your life whatever you do and wherever you are. I say if they raise taxes it would immediately hurt me both directly in person and through my employment (less free income - less money to buy stuff that I do - less income to the company I work for - no raises to the employees). If they accept or deny gay marriage, for example, with all my respect to people that seek or oppose it, it would not matter a bit in my life, regardless of my opinion on it. So in general I feel the GOP is, well, I wouldn't say more libertarian - it's like saying Al Capone is more pacifist than Pol Pot - but less anti-libertarian where it affects my life. Maybe I am mistaken but that's the conclusion I have arrived to so far.
