I've found puzzles and word games to be a good way to learn useful data structures and algorithms. There's not a lot of complex UI stuff required for games like boggle or scrabble. Implementing a crossword puzzle generator can also be a fun and challenging.
Complaining about Apple will not hurt them, but withholding your funds from them sure as hell will.
Well, if the 40 people in the world who realize that they can install an os that didn't come on their computer and think that OS X is worth installing withhold their funds then...
apple probably won't notice.
but if all 40 of them come here and complain, then apple will...
The reason it's chosen is that all that extra code and restrictiveness makes for some very maintainable code
Personally I find 20 lines of python to be a bit more maintainable than the equivalent 200 lines of Java (with 400 lines of XML).
I'm pretty sure Lessig already proposed this 5 years ago. Both ideas of short copyright and a requirement that the source code should be released for copyright to be valid.
Well, it sounds like it took a lot of work and brought them each about $83k/year. Honestly, that salary just doesn't seem worth the risk of running a highly-illegal scam.
Slashdot Mirror
around the same level of recognition as Dijkstra, I would say.
Bah. Knuth wrote volumes of books full of algorithms. I can't think of a single algorithm that Dijkstra ever came up with.
You misspelled the word "clod", you insensitive clod.
A better way to make bogus dmca notices unprofitable is to sue them for damages. The EFF has had some success going after known dmca abusers.
Maybe they will. I was watching fox news today and apparently we are now socialists.
But non-nerds aren't good at writing software for anyone.

still probably not notice.
The internet is not just something you dump something on. It's not a big truck.
...unless they could get VCs to foot the bill.
Well, I'd still prefer ~50,000 lines of python over the equivalent 500,000 lines of java (with 1,000,000 lines of XML).

Well, his name is "BadAnalogyGuy"...
I'm sure they've been searching for CLIT for a long time.
FreeBSD has a kickass GUI. It's called GNOME. For whatever reason, it's easy to install on FreeBSD, but practically impossible to get working on OS X.
Really, Mac OS X is just Free BSD, but more difficult to use.
Congratulations! This is the most epic trolling I have seen in a while.
It's the standard anywhere that complex mathematical formulas need to be expressed.
He picked their favorite senator as a running mate.
I think it's a great idea. I look forward to hanging out at the Brickstore pub from the comfort of my own home.
If by "clean" you mean "useless" and by "well" you mean "like it's on heroin", then yes.
We already have a programming language with a simple syntax and the strengths of Lisp and Ruby. It's called Lisp.

You misspelled "Brillant".
Most people don't even know what DRM is, so why should they care about it?
There is also the Java Forums which is a great place to ask people to do your intro CS homework and get flamed.
