Going to court and losing, while not fun, should be instructive to the GPL community. A loss will either point out areas that need to be changed in the next GPL license version, or that a GPL-style license is not viable.

Thanks, I was wondering if that was the case. I'm used to long running programs.

My strategy in c is as soon as I write the word "malloc" I figure out where to put the free.

"RentHop is free to browse and to post listings, but landlords are charged half a month's rent for every signed lease the website helps bring in."

Anyone know how you would enforce this? Seems like it would be easy for landlords/renters to circumvent the charging process.

Weird, I asked and to my wife "scrappy" meant someone who gets into physical altercations. References were made to a family member who has a volatile personality.

To me, a "scrappy person" has always been someone who, when life or a situation knocks them down, they get back up and try again. I was not aware that this was a derogatory term.

Is AI Dead? 17 years ago

Mother Nature has been working on this problems for millions of years and has only come up with one solution. It's located between your ears.

A couple years ago, as a happily married 35 year old, I took a few math and physics classes for fun at a nearby community college.

I purposely would not talk to the younger crowd for exactly this "Creepy" issue. Luckily there were a few older students around that I could talk with.

I found after a few classes that the younger people (especially home-schoolers) who had real interest in the technical subjects would seek you out in the math and science labs. I ended up being friends with a few of these students, to the point where they would ask to sync class schedules so that we could work on projects together. (Males only; there were some smart females in my classes, but for a variety of reasons I had as little to do with them as possible.)

It seems kind of unfair that a person feels compelled to distance themselves from like-minded people, just because of an age difference.
