It's a good idea to stick with that dial-up. Get broadband, and your kindergartners will fight over barbie.com all night and you'll never get to use your computer again. Either that, or you'll go home at night only to find you have another network to troubleshoot once dinner's over.

If I just set aside whatever I think the IP rules say, and just think about whether it's moral/ethical to utilize example code somebody posted in a public forum, I can't imagine this act hurting anybody at all.
Copying proven technology is what engineers are supposed to do. This copyright hogwash is just a lawyerly game.
In other words, "the developer who copied the code" may have copied it from your project to the forum. Or maybe he already got permission from the poster. Or maybe he already got company clearance.
some web servers could be at risk if users upload a malicious.asp /.mdb file and then execute it via calls to "ADODB.Connection". Servers could be vulnerable to attack if they allow users to upload and run malicious code? Say it ain't so!
Anybody for 1975?
The political scene on the home front from which Bush had been so anxious to be absent during 1975 was the so-called "Year of Intelligence," in that it had been a year of intense scrutiny of the illegal activities and abuses of the intelligence community, including CIA domestic and covert operations. ...
Preparation for what was to become the Halloween massacre began in the Ford White House during the summer of 1975. The Ford Library in Ann Arbor, Michigan preserves a memo from Donald Rumsfeld to Ford dated July 10, 1975, which deals with an array of possible choices for CIA Director. Rumsfeld had polled a number of White House and administration officials and asked them to express preferences among "outsiders to the CIA." ...
Dick Cheney of the White House staff proposed Robert Bork, followed by Bush and Lee Iacocca. ...
the CIA post was finally offered by Ford to Edward Bennett Williams, perhaps with an eye on building a bipartisan bridge towards a powerful faction of the intelligence community. But Williams did not want the job. Bush, originally slated for the Department of Commerce, was given the CIA appointment.

They're obviously getting this done damn well, to keep these machines going so long after their expiration date. These JPL folks do NASA and humanity a great credit.
One great way is just to give it away to anyone who wants it.

31.2% of computers infringe TCP.
22.9% infringe UDP.
The report doesn't mention other protocols, but as IPv6 gains ground, we're all sure to see lots more infringement.

That was you? Let me apologize again.

Damn that's funny. I haven't laughed so uncontrollably for a long time. And I spewed my drink all over the place, you jerk. Warn me next time.
I'd like a +1 underrated, please.
Who modded the first post "redundant"?
It only seems risky until you learn that Bruce Schneier types in TwoFish.

It's definitely a hindrance. Kind of like not letting cops search houses without permission.
Hey, don't make light of this. My brother once inhaled a Battlefront 2 Disk. It was awful. I don't even want to talk about it.
...you really should give it back.

Maybe by consistently delivering results? Just sayin'...
How do we know the guy didn't invent it?
In other words, "the developer who copied the code" may have copied it from your project to the forum. Or maybe he already got permission from the poster. Or maybe he already got company clearance.
Why don't you talk to your project lead about it?
Exactly right. Who doesn't already have an email address by the time they get to college?
Mod parent up.
That convenience and security are at odds is a flawed premise.
Secure software doesn't have holes. User-friendly software is intuitive and does what it should.
No reason the two can't happily co-exist.
