If you are a high schooler who wants to make some money during weekends, there are more efficient ways of making money than programming (as in: money-per-hour invested).
You can take a course and go watch a swimming pool. Teach a foreign language / maths / any other thing to younger students. Or just work as a part-time waiter. You can probably get on those fairly quickly, and get a decent amount of money.
Programming, on the other hand, requires a very significant initial investment of time, without no benefits. And after that, the dollars per hour that you will obtain as an amateur programmer will not surpass the waiter's.
So my advice is: do it only if a) you are passionate about it or b) you picture yourself spending the rest of your life doing that.
It's not a license about "derived works" in general. It's a license about "modified source code" - much more specific.
If you think it is irrelevant, then you should ask yourself what operative system is hosting the post that you just wrote, and which license does it have.
I'm no expert, but the GPL doesn't seem to give derivative work the same importance you do on your post. Instead it uses something called "covered work" or "modified work".
The problem is that the wordpress guy says that "all templates are modifications on Wordpress", while the Thesis guy says that templates are not "modifications", but... non-modifications.
I can see both points of view. I haven't decided myself but I think I'm more near Wordpress than Thesis on this.
You know, instead of a phosphorescent herring, which seems to be the thing after they modelled the character's main weapon after, according to its damage output.

I can't help but notice that if you take the Microsoft-related technologies from the requirement list it starts to look adequate.
"India is not known for exporting high-tech goods to the West"
It is known however to announce great breakthrough technologies at very affordable cost ... that turn out being just vaporware.
I'm curious. What are those things that you coudn't do before?
He didn't say it was a worse language. Just that it is not good enough to attract anyone just because of its goodness.
But they will also have to include creationism on the math, PE, language, history and foreign languages curriculum. And on the musical studies.
This is a about differences between knobs with a single control or two separated controls for temperature and pressure.
The problem of "resetting by sharing" happens on both cases, so it is not significant for the comparison at hand.
The 2-degrees-of-freedom knob doesn't need to be reset.

Hey, this is a good point.
By "plugin" I meant "theme"

You haven't really given this too much thought. There are differences. Subtle, but there are.
They are getting good press on my eyes. For prosecuting fraudulent use of source code.
Is there a way to distribute a plugin without distributing its source code?
Is the php code of the thesis theme somehow "compiled"? Otherwise I don't understand what is this about
Come on guys. At least read the whole thing, and not just the title, before publishing. And I mean the comments too.
Ask them to speak about some site they have done, and they are proud of.
See if they are able to a) Tell specifics about the implementation and b) Communicate them adequately.

They are very hardcore on that Internet thing!
By that same logic, every school should have a drug dealer and a child abuser, since those also "reflect society".
Absolutely correct. The logic on the other two previous posts is flawed.
Seriously, Blizzard could copy StackOverflow's reputation model for moderation. All these problems would evaporate without needing a RealID
He stopped when he didn't have any more things to roll in order to make new stars.
Hint: they are politicians. Now think about the word "honestly" and how does it relate with them.
I don't see how they are going to be able to steal any jaab if they don't have proper access to email.
