  1. Re:Led Zeppelin = Nerd-friendly fare? on Top 50 DVDs · · Score: 1

    He copies _ALL_ your code (which he's entitled to do under the GPL) and you question whether you can copy _some_ of his code back? I think the answer is pretty obvious. And if he doesn't like it, tell him he's bound by the licence that allowed him to take it in the first place, meaning not only can you copy his work, but he has to make sure it's available to you ON REQUEST as well!!!

  10. Re:Someone has to do it on Is The Lone Coder Dead? · · Score: 0
    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - The Lone Coder was found dead in front of his home computer this evening.
