"If, for example, I laid down some pretty useful code and open sourced it - then a startup came along, used it to bootleg their code and made millions I'd be pretty upset."
I wonder if Linus is upset with RedHat?

Even though it's fashionable to make fun of C++, I have to admit that next to Python, it's my favorite language ;)

An omission of fact is a lie in a "strict legal sense" or any sense for that matter. Explaining the perfume smell on your clothes to your wife while leaving out the part about fucking someone else is an omission of fact... aka a lie. Try doing it under oath in a court of law and see what happens if caught.

I will bring Michael Jackson back from the dead if you give it to me.

Clients? You mean IP. NAT anyone?

Very neat site. I wonder if anyone knows of sites that show common windows dialog/message boxes translated in various languages? I'd like to see something like that. We often get requests to translate GUI's to various languages and a common site that translates all the common choices would be a great resource.

Amen. The best decisions of my life were spur of the moment ones. You can't generalize. People are vastly different from one another. Two guys with the same degree from the same school will have varying levels of success in life. Personality and initiative are not taught in school... they can't be.

Many of the lost accounts opted for the economy plan that did not include backup... they got what they paid for. No backup unless they took it upon themselves.

I once used that a lot on my C64. Made sense back in 1982 and in limited cases, makes sense today.

The banks are not aware of the underlying organizations. Even if they were, they probably would not care. They only see the lawyer in the suit at the loan office signing paperwork on behalf of XYZ, LLC.

Wow... thank you very much! I've never heard of this library. Looks ideal. I really do appreciate it. I've been struggling with WX.

It's C++. I do have a GUI written using WXwidgets, but it's only 75% done. I thought I'd try to sell the CLI version first and if it is popular and pays for itself somewhat, then finish the GUI as I could then justify it with the wife.

The wife told me I can't spend any more time working on it, unless I can break even on web hosting, etc. So to clarify. I have to pay for web hosting, bandwidth, storage... as those things cost me money.

It calculates trajectory, drop, etc of a bullet depending upon caliber, grain, powder, etc. It's command line only. It's windows only. No GUI, but it's very simple to use and accurate. Very useful for folks who reload their own ammunition. Covers all calibers from smallest to largest.
