News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Back in 2006 some guy ripped off my entire front-end for his ticket selling site in Europe and made the same mistake. I found out when going though my analytics. I blogged about it and actually made it to the front page of Digg (a big deal at the time):

"How NOT To Steal A Design": http://digg.com/news/story/How_NOT_To_Steal_A_Design

Ah memories :)

Does "creating a generic component model" remind anyone else of portlets?

This kind of stuff always reminds me of Nick Bostram and the "Simulation Argument" http://www.simulation-argument.com

My guess is it's going to be an HTML5, realtime, mobile-focused thingy. Also probably backed by their mobile/html5/javascript framework "Cinco".

best part is in the answer just below this one: "1. You can write a novel like tchrist did..."
Interesting; i wonder why more people don't get into Linux hacking.

Good point; I agree.

Funny, I dropped out of college and make the same 75k as a developer...and just the other day I was explaining to my friend (with a Masters in CS) why aliases wouldn't work with his cron job. BUT, I was lucky, I STILL had to do the work to learn my field (web dev) and I had a LOT tougher time getting here. I think the one problem I have with some graduates though (not my friend), is this idea that society OWES them a good job/promotion etc... because of their degree.
