That should be "Karbon14". Took a few minutes to find the right link - all I could find at first was info about Carbon-14 dating and a link to this comment.
Secondly, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. If you went public, you did it for the money - and you can't cry foul when you do something stupid and when people hold you accountable. If you wanted your freedom, you should have stayed private. Sad, but true. Perhaps you can have it both ways if you have Dual-class shares.

Huh? I've been programming in python for 6 years, and I think it was around for at least a few years before that.
Your comments about using indentation to represent block structure clearly indicate that you have never actually used the language. I shared those opinions before I started working on a project that used Python. In practice, using whitespace to reflect the block structure is simply not a problem.

Just like is says in item #5 in the license agreement:
For license verification purposes, You acknowledge that the Software may electronically transmit to Inktomi summary data relating to use of the Software including, but not limited to, the number of sites, documents and collections indexed, and number of queries. Such transmittals shall not contain any information regarding specific hosts, documents, or queries and shall be used solely for the purposes of license verification.
By the way, IIRC there was a version of the FrameMaker publishing software about a decade ago in which, if you ran the term "Quark Xpress" through the spell-checker, the suggested correction was "FrameMaker".
Actually, it was "Interleaf" that was corrected to "FrameMaker". (At the insistence of the company president.)

They really are programmers editors and not for people who just want to create the odd ascii file. Do not use them expecting something like notepad for windows. If you do you will hate them.
I was once visiting my wife's cube at Cisco on a Saturday when a scream went up from the other side of the wall.
An admin was following IS instructions for creating a vacation message using emacs. She had tried to erase part of it using the backspace key and didn't understand the "help" subsystem she found herself in.
