Submission + - Court grants RIAA Sum Judg Motions vs Limewire (blogspot.com) 1

Submitted by NewYorkCountryLawyer
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: District Court Judge Kimba Wood has granted some of the RIAA's key summary judgment motions in Arista Records v Lime Group. In her 59-page decision (PDF) she found Lime Group itself, as well as its CEO and a separate company, liable for intentionally inducing Limewire users to infringe plaintiffs' copyrights. The decision was not a final judgment, so it is not appealable. Additionally, it denied summary judgment on certain issues, and did not address any possible damages.

Submission + - Exam board deletes C and PHP from CompSci A-levels (theregister.co.uk)

Submitted by VitaminB52
VitaminB52 writes: A-level computer science students will no longer be taught C, C# or PHP from next year following a decision to withdraw the languages by the largest UK exam board.
Schools teaching the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance's (AQA) COMP1 syllabus have been asked to use one of its other approved languages — Java, Pascal/Delphi, Python 2.6, Python 3.1, Visual Basic 6 and VB.Net 2008. Pascal/Delphi is "highly recommended" by the exam board because it is stable and was designed to teach programming and problem solving.

Comment Start with Verilog (Score 1) 3

by samirbenabid (#28156471) Attached to: VHDL or Verilog?

When I started learning FPGA design, I first learned VHDL. I liked the language and used it exclusively in my designs... until I found about Verilog. Verilog made more sens for me because of my C programming background. But I also benefited from my experience with VHDL.

I think that you should learn Verilog and VHDL but start with Verilog. Verilog is less verbose and easier to grasp than VHDL. In addition to that, Verilog is very used in industry (in the US and major European countries) while VHDL is particularly popular in the academic circles.
