Nobody had a gripe with Open Source used in that context.

2 other people in my office apparently also have t-mobile phones, and we all apparently leave them on classic. I can usually tell from the volume whether it's mine or not, but I sometimes wish I wasn't too cheap to pay $2.50 for a ringtone that wasn't a ring and didn't sound like a rave club. I swear, they load phones with 50 different options of total crap to encourage you to buy a decent ringtone. But I am too cheap.
userID +1? That's how my whole website works!:) No, i'm definitely moving away from the data type prefixing except in specific cases. I could still see myself using qryUser, rsUser, arrUser, and intUser together to keep everything grouped, but that's probably from habit; userQuery, userRS, userArray, and userID probably make more sense.
Those are bad examples. I don't create a variable strSql. I create variables qryLogin, rsLogin, etc. so the different parts of the query have the same base name and the prefixes lets you know which part is which. Your example of selectFoo is IMHO, pretty much the same as Hunagrian notation, but you wrote out select instead of using the qry prefix I prefer. qryFoo = selectFoo, unless you use selectFoo, insertFoo, updateFoo; there I'd use qrySelectFoo, qryUpdateFoo, etc so I could just hop from qry to qry in my editor. The prefixes don't have to be just data types, they can be anything meaningful to you. Where you use data type prefixes is with a variable like userID. Is it an int or a string? intUserID clears that up.
Yes, I know it's an iterator over a range. But my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, and when nested loops start with i, then include j, and a couple more nests use l, they all look too similar to me. l>1 is not very accessible reading IMHO.
This is less of an issue with typed languages, but in scripting languages the preceding int is the only place you can tell what the variable is supposed to hold. Is UserID an int? A varchar(255)? intUserID is clear. Also, it only takes ~30 seconds with any decent editor with find/replace to type in find:intPosition replace:fltPosition. Doing so keeps your comments consistent with the code. Leaving off the int/flt means that when you're running a debugger, you don't have any idea whether 123.4 is a valid value or indicates an error, which can be very helpful.
I love hungarian notation, especially when dealing with typeless scripting languages. A good descriptive variable or function name saves a lot of maintenance headaches down the road. With a strongly typed language the preceding int, str, etc is redundant, but the descriptive names never are.
Yes, it's short to write i in a simple loop. And in a very simple loop, it's ok. But when you then nest another loop and use j, it drives me crazy. Why not use records as the outer loop var and fields as the inner loop var, or something like that? I always use variable names that try to show what the logical purpose of that variable is.

The addition of hydrogen to the combustion of diesel is slightly important for the energy that burning it by itself adds to the combustion process. It is much more important for the fact that the heat it adds allows the engine to burn a lot of diesel that would otherwise be pumped out the smokestack. There is a large amount of wasted diesel pumped out normally, let's say about 80% gets burned. This brings it to say, 95% of diesel burned. That's where the extra energy comes from that makes this a net positive source of energy, perfectly good furel that was previously being wasted.. Say you use 15% of the extra energy you get from better burning of the diesel to create the hydrogen - fine, you're still way ahead.
Some people posited that it was an LGPL violation, while others thought that this was included only as binary signatures of the software that the DRM process was supposed to monitor. You know, how anti-spyware programs have definition files that let it recognize spyware, this DRM software presumably has definition files of ripping software to look for. That seems more likely to me.
Not according to the terms of service most cable companies have. Any kind of server - CounterStrike, the distributing part of P2P, Jabber server, all of them are forbidden.
"xiv. run programs, equipment, or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises LAN (Local Area Network), also commonly referred to as public services or servers.

I can upload to my remote ftp server all I want - I cannot have my home pc act as an ftp server, P2P server, or anything that provides services to someone on the internet.
Read the Ars Technica comments. Some people went to sign up and were posting the weird terms of service, like 'not for use to increase traffic or sales on your website' - for a product designed to work with AdWords.

Beats me, I stole it from someone else on slashdot years ago. I haven't used perl since 1999, and live{free} certainly looks better.

Um, I don't think your code is ever going to make it to the next statement.
if x == CPU_BURST_INTO_FLAMES {
print 'ah fuck, why bother this will never even print'
}
One comment I have - NEVER write code that says
} else {
Debug 'This should never happen'
}
I've literally seen that exact same debug message in 3 different companies. And yes, it DID happen at all 3 places.
This is less of an issue with typed languages, but in scripting languages the preceding int is the only place you can tell what the variable is supposed to hold. Is UserID an int?

For example, I use Comcast http://www.comcast.net/terms/use.jsp/, and one of the things I'm forbidden from doing is:
