Indeed, you seem to be one of those misrepresenting the truth. He did get fired. It has been reported by numerous sources as such including the man himself. If you're too stupid to read, that's hardly our problem.
Really with TWC would get its act together regarding upload. Everyone I know in other services gets at least 4 megabits. I used to get about that too, but one day years ago I was dropped like a sack of shit down to under 1.
They will do the promotion thing even if they have no competition. It is in their best interest to keep you as a customer even if they're not making as much as they usually can, so they will keep throwing you bones until your service is mega cheap...for a year. Then you have to do it all over again.
How exactly does having a license on your code prevent someone from taking your code, using it, copyrighting it, then suing you? It's not as though not having a license attached precludes you from having copyright over it. Copyright is implicit the moment it's created, at least in the US.
Attaching a license would not alleviate this problem.
And then there are those of us who thinks their code should just be free for all without all the politics. Any code I put out, I put out for the betterment of everyone should they find it useful, even if they want to make a buck. Someone interested in giving back has just as much access to the code as someone doing their own thing, and that's fine with me. I've just never been a big proponent of forcing people to give back under threat of law, and I've never been disappointed in the level of returns following this path.
HR always does stupid shit like this. I remember when.NET had first started to gain traction, I saw ad after ad from various IT companies wanting 5-7 years experience in.NET when it had only been out for 2.
Just imagine what's really happening. This was no doubt a real scene with some ex cop and a military man finding some ridiculous intel about our government doing something bad, and now they're on a Die Hard style mission to bring the evil doers to justice. We're just the normal schmucks in the background being led to believe it's all a training exercise.
Curiously, do we have a case of our arms fighting against our feet here? Seems if we are going to be anal about the first thing that started this whole mess, we'd also be anal about our punishment and fight it kicking and screaming.
Try opening a modern PSD in the old Photoshop for Windows 3.1 and see what error message doesn't pop up.
Have you actually tried doing that before you said this? Because of all formats, the Photoshop file format is incredibly backward compatible. I know at the very least you can open CS6 documents saved in compatibility mode (which is the default mode) in Photoshop 5.0 which was released in 1998.
You don't know the first thing about what you speak. The versions of Photoshop from the 3.1 era are lightyears ahead of the most modern version of MS Paint. That you have it so backwards and yet talk about the value of time is humorous to say the least.
Even Paint Shop Pro, which was Photoshop's much cheaper cousin in the Win 3.1 days is far superior to the most modern version of MS Paint, may it rest in peace.
Well you went and missed the point of my post, which is fine since I didn't actually quote the specific thing I was referring to but that's fine because I don't really care about the answer anyway.
You have to scroll down the length of an encyclopedia just to get to the various lists of entries all the while the site is telling you that you probably shouldn't ruin it for yourself. It's not like the guys who screamed "Dumbledore's dead!" at midnight book releases.
Wow. I have heard some dumb things come from you in the past, but I do believe this one might win some sort of medal, especially given the context of this discussion.
The problems with these movies is seemingly 90% of the public believes every detail about them as long as they don't contain vampires or other supernatural forces. We'll be hearing all sorts of moments in this movie pushed on others as if it's fact, and it's damn frustrating when you're trying to have a conversation with someone who can't see passed the fantasy of these stories because it's "based on a true story".
Except for the issue that no game company would do something so controversial, and even if one had the balls, no publisher would touch it with a hundred foot pole. We can't even let kids die in video games. You really think a game about being a terrorist would actually get publishing deals?
Shit would be all over the news how we're training kids to be terrorists and there would be all sorts of lobbying for it to get banned.
This guy is nothing but an attention whoring internet troll. He did what he did for nothing more than to try to publicly shame AT&T in the most irresponsible way possible, and generally goes out of his way to cause trouble all over the internet. He had no sense of care for the data he was putting under the public spotlight instead of sensibly disclosing the vulnerability to AT&T. For him to suggest he did because of AT&T's "egregiously negligence" yet chose himself to make the most egregiously negligent response is hypocritical to say the least.
I have no sympathy for this Weev guy. Do not liken his situation to Aaron Swartz. That would be doing a massive disservice to his memory. Tools like this should get what is coming to them.
When Windows was a dominant platform? You're joking, right? You aren't actually trying to suggest that mobile exclusives are a problem for Windows?
To be frank, not many PC users appreciate mobile ports when they happen anyway, given that they generally cost $1 on the mobile device, and $6-15 on PC as a straight port. Most people just don't see the value, and for good reason... Save for very few games, very few successfully make the transition to PC and do well.
The loads and loads of identical casual games might be good time wasters on phones, but that sort of casual gameplay doesn't often translate well to a PC release. The market just isn't all that interested in them. Trying to use android games to suggest that Linux is really picking up is downright silly and disingenuous to what everyone else means when we talk about gaming on Linux.
Don't expect steam for Linux to turn Linux into a gaming powerhouse. It has been around for Macs for a while now and the list of games available is extremely paltry in comparison to the Windows counterpart. Gaming on Windows isn't going anywhere, and it's certainly not going to be replaced by Linux anytime soon regardless of what you've read into the situation Valve is in.

Nationwide? I live in San Diego, and I got no such notice or automatic increase from Time Warner.
I suspect you're full of shit.
Naive? Hardly. Attaching the GPL to your code does nothing to stop this this sort of shady underhanded behavior any more than a BSD license would.

Unless you're a total novice you shouldn't be using the recovery partition anyway. That puts all the crapware back on your system.
He was talking about the past. The changes you talk about weren't even a thing yet.
Oh, that makes more sense, then.

I believe in you secret agent man. I believe.

Seems you have a taste for it as well.

Are you seriously attempting to suggest that something bad cannot be used for a good purpose?
You have to scroll down the length of an encyclopedia just to get to the various lists of entries all the while the site is telling you that you probably shouldn't ruin it for yourself. It's not like the guys who screamed "Dumbledore's dead!" at midnight book releases.
What's your point exactly? The source is intentionally available.
