Or the devs were encouraged to take a paid vacation from coding... Courtesy of the NSA or Microsoft. My guess the link to www.truecrypt.org/donations/ was not often visited.

The raid came after repeated attempts to have the owners shut down the site on their own accord. By ignoring and mocking the multiple attempts at warning their behavior may be in violation of laws, they chose to fight the battle in a court of law. Courts of law have police to enforce their decisions. Their mocking of take-down notices and repeated claims that they are only facilitating pirating (not actual pirating) can and should be interpreted by courts and juries.

Avoid terms with negative connotations, such as "GPL" and use the more acceptable term, BSD. As a hiring software developer, I know of what I speak.

Spending a little more money up front often pays off with a better product, bigger user community, more sample code, more documentation... and no breadboarding!

Exactly: The OS releases the memory after the application sigfaults.

Wow. As a software/hardware product.. that is freaking cool.... No, I wouldn't want to wear one.. But the analytic side of it is fascinating. You could also tie it in with facial recognition, so that if the employee removes the badge, that would be known and reported too. Your slacking off days are numbered!!

Emailing a URL and clicking it to add it to a calendar is kind of silly. If team has practices and games, that info should automatically be sync'd into a player's calendar.. and updated automatically as schedules are updated.

I use multiple google calendars-- one for each kid, my spouse, and for some clubs I'm in. I use Calenmob on my iphone to see them all... but I would love it if there was more software that let you have a club (or class or whatever) add events to your calendar... Seems like a great idea that should have been solved.. but hoping someone here can recommend something.

Prohibition works well when there is a reasonable and legal alternative. I think it will be difficult to get this current iteration of BitCoin out of the black market and into the mainstream.

With BitCoin, the wealth of the entire system has already been largely distributed to a handful of early adopters. For a global currency, BitCoin is hoarded by a large, mostly geek community. The government doesn't have any, which is why the government will do its best to take it down.. and its easy to "take it down" by auditing any company that advertises on the web that they accept bitcoin. (Accepting BitCoin for merchandise has pretty much meant that the transaction(s) will go unreported, including taxes.)

Timbuktu is a good choice if you need something that works only on Windows NT, XP and Mac OS 6 and 7. Just kidding. I I use Team Viewer and I'm happy. Agree the pricing model makes me unlikely to confess to using it for any commercial purpose.

Pink Barbie helicopter scares Senator in her $16.5M mansion. The gals at Code Pink needed a man to fly a slightly larger top copter, but it wasn't successful either. http://www.thewire.com/politics/2014/01/was-drone-feinstein-encountered-her-house-tiny-pink-helicopter/357061/

The ability to make a last minute edit after submitting would be a good feature here!

DIFI had a $40 remote control helicopter fly by her house during a CODE PINK protest against her use of drones and her support of the endless wars she supports.
