Perl or Bash? Make up your mind!

Uhm, as the husband of a woman who just gave birth, I can attest that women do indeed need more than a week, and giving birth was NOT the equivalent of a day surgery.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here. I've heard the $10 ones can be flaky and not always work well. That's why my dad splurged and got a $25 one. :-P

How is this news? I got a ODB2 -> Bluetooth adapter last year, and that was after a year or two of thinking about it. I use Torque on my Android to track my mileage, chirp at me when I go over a speed I set, and track engine performance.

The only thing here that *might* be news is the gamification of ODB2 stats, but who really cares about that?

Oh, and my dad just picked up a ODB2 -> Bluetooth adapter for about $25 and it works great, so why would anyone want to spend $70 on one!?

Everyone quotes "education" as a copyright exemption, but the education exemption is actually quite narrow. There must be NO other (non-copyrighted) way of showing/demonstrating what you are using, and you must use the LEAST amount of it possible to successfully show/demonstrate what you are teaching.

If you are teaching music, you can't just start playing every album ever made and say "it's education, it's exempt!" You can't even play an entire song and say "did you hear that cord progression at the beginning?". What you CAN do is play the part of the song with said progression. If you were teaching about song structure, then you could use the whole song. Both of these examples still assume there was no other source of non-copyrighted work you could have used instead.

There is at least 1 progress bar which is perfectly accurate!

Actually it's a SimCopter joke - Maxis just likes to re-use it's jokes.

Whoever has the bigger gun.

...makers of Linux laptops. If you don't want Linux, get a System76 laptop and install Win7.

Many trade schools have a right to their students work. I went to one and part of the student agreement I signed was a perpetual license to use my work created there royalty-free for advertising purposes. I saw no problem with that, especially since the agreement specifically said that I still owned the copyright to the work.
