You lost me at "company I used to work for". If you did this on their dime then they own it. It doesn't matter your attachment to the code, it isn't yours. They are free to do what they wish with it. Your only option is to rewrite it from scratch and learn a lesson from this experience.
This is why I've been sending back 3 DVDs in one mailer. I now have several hundred empty envelopes which I will promptly insert a slice of balogna into each and drop them into the mailbox. Statement made.
If you are giving away free bologna send some my way.
Well I'm not to sure how I feel about this. I currently have the streaming + 1 dvd. I only watch a dvd every few months but the option was still nice to have. There is no way I would pay 8 bucks a month for the few dvds I would watch. But on the other hand the streaming selection is pretty poor so paying 8 bucks a month for just streaming doesn't seem like that great of a deal. I think they've shot themselves in the foot but without a great alternative they will probably get away with it.
... Either way it is unlikely to harm the kid unless the kid ingests the carpet...
So then it is a real concern as it is likely a child, especially under 3, would do something like eat the carpet or something that touched the carpet. I know my kids try and eat anything they can get their hands on.
Several months ago, a CFL broke right next to my 2-year old son. I had the sense to get him out of the room, but not for about 10 seconds.
After much research, I discovered that a CFL has about 4 milligrams of Mercury that is released as a vapor (which is readily absorbed by the body unlike the solid form).
The EPA website's cleanup instructions were vast. They even recommended that all clothing that came in contact with any of the CFL be destroyed. I assumed this also meant the wall-to-wall carpeting in my son's bedroom where he plays.
Do I think the EPA is probably being a bit paranoid? Sure. But this is my son we are talking about during his key mental development years. A little paranoia is in order. Who knows how much mercury vapor he inhaled. Yes, I got rid of the carpet.
I'm personally stocking up on incadescents until LED or Halogon alternatives become viable. BTW-- I vote Democratic ticket and am otherwise pretty liberal.
I've run in to the same issue. I was changing a CFL and it shattered in to tiny pieces. I have two young kids at home and based on what the EPA recommends you need to call in professionals to clean your house and remove any surface, specifically cloth or carpet, that could be contaminated. Also you should put the broken light bulb in a glass jar and properly dispose of it. Scary stuff. I'd much rather just have to clean up some broken pieces of glass.
People will use all kinds of reasons to justify their behaviour. I imagine this name would make all kinds of people want to try out the software as well. Do you think the main purpose of the open source community is to provide tools for megacorporations?
I don't see how this naming would make anyone want to try out this software. But what it would do is make it difficult for a person in a business environment to search for and access this package, especially those with strict internet filtering.
false positives have been a issues in the past does this do any thing to fix that?
Let's say some without HSI but has cable some how get some HBO VOD data flagged? or just that they flag the wrong subscriber.
Bad clams
The bank's have done foreclosure on loans they don't even own so what stopping someone from makeing a clam on stuff they don't own or that may be free but some how they thing they own the rights to? What if a game is free but someone flags it based on in game music?
fake clams
One business may just make clams just to DOS a other business.
What about places with FREE WIFI or hotels? (A lot of hotels use cable HSI)
What about if you HAVE the rights to that Copyright and the right to download it and you still get flaged?
Pretty sure this is a shift in paradigm in the tools needed to perform the task, not a shopping spree on cool toys.
I fail to see the relationship. What tasks are being performed by the thousands of game consoles or MP3 players that have replaced file cabinets and typewriters?
People actually have enough time these days in their daily lives to fill up their phones memory/micro sd cards on every day usage? Or is this just people trying to look busy so others think they have somthing going on in their lives.
If you take so many photos you abviously want some quality in the image so why not just get any of the 100's of digital pocket cameras out there?
I own an Android phone that I use for video/photos when I don't want to bring my DSLR with me. The picture quality is fine for snapshots from my HTC Thunderbolt. Also my phone does 720p video which obviously requires a lot of space. I can see how it is quite easy to fill up your phones memory with video and images.
Is it really that much trouble to add a secure hash of the id to the URL or check against the session if the user has access to that record? Come on, that is BASIC security.
At first I was oblivious to what Minecraft was. Then I bought it. Then I played it for a while. Then I figured out there was nothing to really DO in the game. Okay, I know it's a giant sandbox and you can build stuff, but after a while, you kind of get bored of building stuff...
About a month ago, I found Terraria. The game has been in development for less than half a year, and it has more depth and more things to do, especially in multiplayer, which is just pure fun.
Any updates to Minecraft are much welcome, both in SP and MP. Hopefully there will be more crafting stuff and more things to do. Maybe it's just me, but when I play Terraria, I get this weird thought in my head - "this is what Minecraft should have been". Somehow I feel that Notch got a boatload of money and then semi-abandoned the game...
If he is smart he will build in some sort of in "app" purchases. "Upgrade your sand blocks to golden blocks for.99 cents" or "Purchase the new sword of awesomeness for 250 Minecraft dollars".
...starting with the fact you can only have six active devices on your account, followed by the fact that your recommendations get less effective the more you share your account with someone with disparate tastes -- as anyone who shares their account with a spouse will tell you..
Tell me about it! Netflix thinks I want to watch children's cartoons due to all the Barney and Cailou episodes my wife puts on for the kids.
I kept hearing that Linux was immune to malware all these years here, and yet I am seeing a Linux variant in ANDROID showing holes and malware attacks left and right the past few years now.
(Has slashdot's Penguin crowd been lying to us all for all these years now? Seems so.)
I like the days of yore better. Computers were simpler then. The software, the hardware, the protocols, all of it.
Back then it was possible to understand everything that was going on in your system, and there is something very beautiful about that. You could know how every command worked and how it did it, down the the binary data it was sending down the serial port if you wanted. Now, even though I know what seems like an encyclopedic amount of information about computers, there are large gaps in my knowledge where I either know nothing or I have only a general idea of whats going on.
Then again I can now play Angry Birds on Chrome so that kinda sooths the nostalgia.
Excuse me, just passing through, didn't mean to step on your lawn.
250-900 for an expensive case? Why would anyone want this. If you want a modern pc buy a modern pc, if you want a Commodore 64 then get on ebay and buy one. I don't see this selling well at all.

Man I could go for some hurricane rain here in DFW. But seriously stay safe, don't end up a darwin award. Don't be stupid.

Basically, this will drive people to use Redbox for disc-based movies and NetFlix for screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh!

Why not repeal the mandate to require 1.6 gal/flush toilets?
We heard the same lame arguments against that back then, but guess what? IT WORKED!!!
So flushing 3 times instead of 1 is a win for planet earth?

They do have a bad flavor. That's why you have to cook them.
Clearly you've never had raw Salmon, delicious.
If selling pets is illegal then only criminals will have pets.
Did they spend anything on typewriters?
How about filing cabinets?
Any word on semaphore flags?

Go back to your bridge.
Is it just to annoy people? What benefit do the authors receive from getting the phone to make random calls or send SMS?
Proof of concept, perhaps?
Because they can.
This would be great to have for flight simulators.
