    they own the company, mostly for the purposes of having these patents. Not really a proxy war anymore.

  2. Marijuana on Do Recreational Drugs Help Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Helps me concentrate on specific tasks if I know what to do. It puts me "in the zone" in ways that soberiety simply can not do.

    However, it is counter productive when having to plan out what I need to do in the first place. The architecture and high level planning/design/etc doesn't work for me in any state other than being sober.

    I like Groovy for this.

    class Foobar {

    will compile into:

    public class Foobar {
            private String hello;
            private String world;

            public void setHello(String prop) {
                    hello = prop;
            }

            public String getHello() {
                    return hello;

  8. Re:Bisected? on EXT4 Data Corruption Bug Hits Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    presumably from this post, "being technical" only means complete knowledge of all tools.

    I'm guessing you find it very hard to find work with that kind of understanding of what "being technical" implies.

  9. Re:Responsibility? on Judge Orders Piracy Trial To Test IP Address Evidence · · Score: 1

    your router, your connection, your responsibility.

    If you leave your wifi open, you do not suddenly become a common carrier yourself.

    If you intentionally leave your wifi open, and someone uses that connection to commit a real crime with real consequences, then why should you, the owner of the router, not take some responsibility for it?

    Now, that said, we have to look into the grey areas. Should a company be held responsible for an employee that uses their internet connection for bad things? What about a cafe with free wifi? I don't know.

    but if I leave my personal home router open, and someone parks their car outside and starts exchanging child pornography, then yes, you can not 100% prove that it was me who transferred that child pornography, but you can say I enabled it by not taking the necessary steps of securing my wifi.

    for the same reason that a car company won't get blamed when someone drunk drives, but the establishment serving the drinks (or in some jurisdictions, the bar tender) will be.

  12. Responsibility? on Judge Orders Piracy Trial To Test IP Address Evidence · · Score: 4, Insightful

    An IP address will identify a connection, that someone is responsible for.

    There is plenty of cases of Person A committing a crime or getting into an accident, using something from Person B, and Person B getting into trouble as a result.

    you could have watched the video and then be able to tell whether he was being sarcastic or not.

    The issue with the Romney quote, is that there is no real context since it's all text. But in this case, there is a video, all the context is there. Glenn Beck, is quite bizarre.

  24. Paid contract? on One Company's Week-Long Interview Process · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I had an interview for an out of city employer. It resulted in me being given a PAID two week contract to see if I'm worth hiring. I forget what it was I made, but I was paid $2000.

    that $2000 was part of my moving expenses if I was hired, and if I was not, I still got $2000, because I signed a contract stating if I finished the work on time, I get $2000.

    This seemed like a good way to do things and benefits both the company and myself. I get money, company gets proof I can not only code, but be professional (meetings on time, meeting deadlines, etc).
