Good question. Since his friend put him in touch with the Calgary Herald in the article, I assumed the one in North West Calgary (Alberta).

Fair enough, and my memories are 25 years old. So it's very easy that my brain is only remembering the best memories while forgetting the bad. My brain tends to do that with ex's I haven't seen in a while.

It's interesting, I graduated from that school in '92, and I was surprised when I read it. The faculty I knew, most would have encouraged such a project. My drafting teacher let me do a 3point of a x-wing for my final project. T

I'll definitely be. I live in the nix terminal, and that's where the tools work best for web development. But the current day job is C# apps. I dream of hacking code legitimately in a nix.

My guess is that native HTML5 is just h.264, and most modern systems have a hardware decoder that would be much more efficient at decoding than a software implementation. Flash video is a wrapper around a number of codecs, and if the codec

No, those are absolutely real. It's not up to you to protect or stop it. It's a life lesson. It's the same as copyright. Every kid starts some project using someone else's IP. We see it daily. Then someone explains

When did this even drift into civil negligence?

This is textbook nanny state drivel. You don't need to protect people from themselves. There are thousands of articles online, people can do the research. You aren't publishing anything without access to the internet, and the inte

You mean to say that the original developer who chose to release via MIT, gets exactly what they agreed to? God forbid, you're right, it's a whole moral catastrophe.

I'm talking about tinkering because that was the example I was responding to. I think your lack of logic in this thread is unethical. Saying so doesn't make it true though, does it? Actually, nothing you said is logical. You don

No, there are no ethical concerns whatsoever here. If you don't want software you can't tinker with, then don't use Netflix. If Netflix were required by every citizen, then there would be ethical concerns. You are NOT requir

It disturbs me that you're getting down voted. Somehow, we eschew extremism in all facets of life, but when it comes to free software, it's so expected that (even if tongue in cheek) asking a question has a reaction where someone

If you read through the comments here, there are people that go crazy when alone, and people which go crazy when in groups. It's kinda like saying you don't buy gravity. Sure, we don't fully understand all of the details, bu

Because that's a very subjective answer. I've had a lot of issues with ComEmu. On several occasions, (I'm speculating that it's been after updates) it seems to completely forget all of my settings, and revert to defaul

You forget your key when leaving for work, and don't lock your door. It was accidental, you have a lot on your plate. Your neighbour sees you didn't lock it, and tweets out, "Hey Mike at 321 Greyhat Bvld, you didn't lo

> Also, +1 for using jQuery and being proud of it! :) That wasn't the takeaway some of us read here, and honestly, that's just foolish. Take pride in your craftsmanship, never take pride in your tools. I love my hammer, but w

No, you're not, you're actually the cause of the problem. If you were actually doing what you claim, then more than one person on your staff be anything other than white. You are the problem. And if you figure out how you manag

When I'm in the terminal, there is no better OS on Earth for writing code than Linux. I delight in it, I consider myself fortunate to be able to so as a living. However, when I'm done for the day and don't have any itch to ha

If you're bad at math, poor at writing or analyzing arguments, and have the competitive instinct of a Care Bear, you're a 10/10 for a think tank researcher. I find it a little dubious to call this a career test.
