Who the fuck upvoted this? In 2007 Apple launched the iPhone! Jobs had already been CEO for ten years and they had already launched of the iPod six years before.
Most, possibly, but at least Google with its two types of shares is reasonably immune to that: Larry and Sergey alone still control more than 50% of the voting power.
But unlike what you claimed, you CAN use PHP for non open source code.
Maybe you used the wrong verb (can vs should), but that's not my fault. You only couldn't if the PHP license somehow prevented it, so I replied to that.
Make your money with the first couple of months because that's about all the lead time you have. There are lots of people who think that ALL software should be free, and they have no conscience when it comes to pirating software.
"Have different moral code than me" != "have no conscience"
Also, they already got the money, that's the point of Kickstarter: you get paid before you create & release the project.
2) is a non-issue, unless you try to be too smart for your own good and develop the encoding from scratch. Use e.g. Protocol Buffers and it'll take care of it for you.
*OK, some guys too. But if I say 'drama' and 'male', what stereotype comes to mind?
Well, 'drama' has a strong connotation, but if you replace it with 'conflict', I think of drunken assholes beating up their wifes (and sometimes kids). Where I live, a couple dozen women are killed every year due to domestic violence.
Compared to that, "emotional wreckage" seems somewhat less important.
True, but on the other hand, such errors can and do distract from the message, which is detrimental to both the reader and the writer (since, supposedly, the message was meant to be read).
Assuming it's self-spreading (through email, IM, etc), the instance sending those copies can put its own IP/port on the news copies, which will then communicate back to it. They can also then share the new IPs of those copies with the other nodes they're already connected to.
I disagree; ChromeOS is dead, it has been superseded by Android, particularly after the launch of the Transformer and now Chrome itself. Sergey Brin had already said in 2009 that the two would likely converge at some point in the future and in my opinion, that's mostly done.
While I agree with your point, I don't think that was a good example. It's unfair to Tolkien to call it mere hand waving to fix a problem in the story, when his death and rebirth is obviously done on purpose, and the whole background is explained in The Silmarillion, which he had written years before.
There's still no real boundaries - after all, it was a direct intervention by Eru Ilúvatar - but it's not just hand waving.
Well, the situation of mail order brides in Russia (where his wife is from) is a little different from those places in India (and others), since it's more a consented marriage by convenience than a sale; as Wikipedia says, the women usually add themselves to those catalogs. The guy gains a hot wife and the woman gains a ticket to a richer country (and possibly husband).
There's a great danger of bias, though: people will bitch to no end about their shitty divorce and ex-wife/husband, while people who had reasonable divorces don't really have anything to say.
It's actually not as simple as that. This thing has a camera and (probably) GPS. How much time 'till they start facial recognizing the people you pass by and logging their location?
Sure, smartphones have cameras, but you don't walk around all day with one glued to your forehead.
Slashdot Mirror
You misunderstood. They made things cheaper for them (as in their production costs). The price to the consumer is unrelated.

I'm not to blame if you use different definitions of concepts than the ones commonly accepted on this community.
Here, "open source" means this. Whether the code is obfuscated or not is irrelevant to that.
Copyright the game content
Copyright is automatic.

keep in mind if open-source is not desired for whatever reason, this means you can't readily use e.g. PHP for any significant part of it
You don't seem to have any idea of what you're talking about.
To quote their website:
The PHP license is a BSD-style license which does not have the "copyleft" restrictions associated with GPL.

I remember hearing someone say that if the services are free, YOU are the product.
Yet, you're not paying for using Slashdot. What does that make you?

As for 2001, it won "Best Visual Effects", but wasn't even nominated for "Best Picture" - again, there were better films that year.
Really? "Oliver!" is better than 2001?
2001 wasn't nominated because it wasn't an easily understandable musical. And nowadays the critics agree that 2001 is a better movie.
You mean Gandalf.

Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind easily top any of those, in my opinion.
My government's IT people are far too incompetent and underfunded to manage to snoop on anything.
Well, a man is a living animal...

Well, (now) you know it too. Are you worried that you know of such things?
Personally, I just watch documentaries instead of the reality show du jour.
You don't need a time machine, just a plane ticket and some money. Buying brides is still common practice in certain places of the world.

There was certainly nothing in the summary that mentioned stealing ideas
It's in the title of the submission.

Word recognition from thoughts. There's already a proof of concept on patients with locked-in syndrome.
