If someone can monetize your code better than you, that's your problem.
If you don't like it, relicense to a -- gasp!! -- proprietary license and let copyright protect you in the future.
Stop being all butt hurt cuz someone took your work, made it better, and released to people who were willing to pay for it. In the end, your creation is obviously making the world a better place if that's occured, so put it on your resume/cv and move on with life.
This “game” is really a novel. The paths are pretty fixed, and it does nothing but tell a story a very long story. It took me about 15-20 hours of straight play to play/read it all it’s very engaging and feels and treats the story just like a bookwith pauses for solving puzzles that themselves help paint the story.
There’s a whole genre over at bigfishgames like this!! HUNDREDS of story gamesas they’re called. All for about $5.
Mozilla's response in that article is an example of unadulterated Orwellian doublethink. They are just putting it there to placate the zealots. If they cared, they'd present the choice to the user.
You sure missed a lot of punctuation and capitalization! Here let me help you! I'll admit, the last sentence fragment was very hard for me to parse.
I don't know about more jobs. It's total bollocks; that's what it is. Why do these so-called teachers seem like they didn't get any freaking education?
If shit were to happen here, you can bet your butt the DoD would use tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of cold-blooded (even foreign) mercenaries, who have no sentiments worth preserving. NATO troops would almost certainly be involved and so could a UN "peace keeping" force.
ALl of these segments have been training, for two or three decades now, on American soil, and none of them would have problems killing Americans.
My advice is to attend one class and do well. Then you can truthfully say "you went to College". Then if they ask what your degree was in, say, "I majored in Computer Engineering.", which in my case is a 100% valid statement (I did study for 3 years).
99% of the time, they *assume* I have a degree. I'll never (and have never) lied about it, because it just doesnt matter much at all, really.
Maybe 3 out of 100 interviews, I've been asked, "Did you receive a degree?" and I just say "No, in 2003, I realized I could learn more and make money at the same time by doing my own contract development." THEN I get brownie points for taking the path of Gates, Bezos, Page, and Steve Jobs (who only took one semester of college).
By that point, the 3 who asked hired me very quickly thereafter.
As an employer at a startup, I value no degree and 5 years working on a personal project as a 10, a degree as a -2, a Masters as a -5, and a PhD as a -10... I won't hire PhDs, ever.
I grew up coding. I have initiative to teach myself, to grow myself, and to dev in my spare time. Because I *love* it.
If someone has the time and endurance to waste tens of thousands of dollars, precious time not being productive (either for free cuz they can't find a job (think open source something) or at a job) that they took the time to get a degree, that means they're probably trapped in academia's Ivory Towers, will demand far more money, and be that much less productive.
Just look at how many companies routinely toss Masters and PhD resumes in the trash. I've worked for 3 such, you read about it on the web all the time. And are you going to start with that stack of 300 college degreed resumes, or the 5 or 6 without a degree who don't lie about it and are self-motivated enough to become craftsmen by themselves?
Hmm... More and more companies are starting at the shorter pile first. That greatly increases non-degreed people's chances.

Good troll!!
Your **totally off-topic and stupid** post and its children make up 26% of the total comments in this story.
Unbelievable!
How does "Facebook really operate"?? I'd really like to know. Sounds like it's a mess.
Why is this modded -1????
I would hope Google would do such things regularly!
Your reading comprehension could use some work, however.
He never said they don't sue for projects they don't own.
You couldn't even figure out what he's saying.
Very poor ad hominem you got going there.
When you can't find facts, attack character!

That was an incredibly lame ad hominem.
I applaud you for your audacious accomplishment ;-)
I think you meant, "Brillant!!!" [sic].
Maybe he just wants a reason to "get cozy" with both of them at the same time?

Too bad there isn't an ebook. It sounds fascinating!

With all seriousness, I can see with conviction of hindsight that:
The United States of America ceased to be the Land of the Free on 22 November 1963.
Way to let a wedge issue divide you ;o
I think the rewards from a truly free, seceded state would far trump virtually any single wedge issue imaginable.

It's an exact copy except for the first sentence.
We already have 1 dollar coins, but no one ever uses them. Ever.
Funny! UTF-8 solved all these problems a decade ago.
Let me test without the HTML entities... €
If € and € look the same, then it's a user error and not a slashdot one.

LOL eek! In fact I have been reading that author!! Every book, actually.
Perhaps it is too much ;/ After I read How To Survive, I've purchased farmland and guns... shit.
