Why did they disallow dotless domains? Honest qyestion. As an alternative, one could write and distribute a "free" web browser with a search box that looks like an address bar wher…

Post a sample .csv file you believe is too difficult. I will solve your problem with only UNIX utilities. And I'm sure others will solve it other ways. Usually I only need sed and …

Maybe a more interesting question is whether they ever exercised their right to terminate for brown M&M's. Is there any notion of material breach, major vs minor breach, etc. in "t…

"... competition destroys profits for ... society as a whole." What is meant by "profits"? "Progress comes from monopoly..." What is meant by "progress"? Does the Antitrust Divisio…

"What makes you think Mozilla does not pay taxes?" Corporate structure. (Mozilla Corp. is wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation. Only Mozilla Corporation pays taxes.) 2008 …

Mozilla is an organization that has hundreds of millions in revenue but does not pay taxes? How many employees? What are their salaries? Whatever, I don't care about that stuff. He…

Correct me if I am wrong, but maybe one way to look at the CFAA or situations like this one is that every website has the right to deny access to any particular user. This can be d…

I am under the impression that the information that this suit could have revealed about Mr Jobs' character was potentially far more damaging than any settlement or award the defend…

"You (presumably) and I have beaten ourselves into submission to the Linux style; the authors' haven't." An awakening! Is it really so terrible to have things compile quickly and w…

Sorry for the misquote. I guess that my misquote completely misrepresents the issue? I never said the data should be not provided in an API. If you read closely (for more than only…

"public domain... but can [only] be accessed in small pieces" Sounds like the wonderful world of "APIs" on the www. This sort of data should be on an FTP server. I can build my own…

That's a valid question and one I have considered myself. So what drives the folks at McAfee to do this? Maybe it is the same thinking that drives programnmers to not want to write…

Pot calling the kettle black. Crawling others' websites then selling ads. Scraping others' websites then selling ads. Selling access to user-generated content. Amusing to watch the…

Great story. It is good to know that some programmers do learn over time. For every 1 story like yours there are probably 10 where someone is still traying to get "revenge" by sayi…

I think it's worse that tactless; it's brainless. Customers of a business care about who sits on the Board and exercise their right to take their business elsewhere. The horror! It…
