The Torrent Freak blog reveals that, despite the RIAA’s public support of the ill-advised SOPA and PIPA bills last winter, the music industry trade group never actually believed that either piece of legislation would have put a dent in music piracy since most music files are swapped offline.

Yesterday was a very special day for. Exactly one year had passed since I wrote my very first line of code, one year since I saw code for the first time in my life, one year since I completely and utterly fell in love with programming. It was love at first compile. I just knew me and this was meant to be!- And I have never looked back since. If you love something, deploy it. If it runs for you, it was truly meant to be.

I remember the first lines of code I wrote was in the early 1980's on a Commodore 64 computer.

My first line of code was on a TRS-80 Color Computer around 1982. Omg I loved it and I've went from Basic to Assembly Language to C, C++ and C#. The Color Computer started it for me all though and I will forever love that computer because of it

LOL! "Love at first compile..." 
Unfortunately first I didn't know that such thing that compiler exists, it could have speed up the development of my programming skills earlier. I had only a hiew.exe that could decompile binaries and hexedit them on a 80286, plus some small example .com files like ncexit.com to analyze. Still it was fun after getting bored of amoeba and and the other stupid pc games for hercules monitors!

Bacon is wonderful food, but the Windows registry contains a veritable treasure trove of configuration info and historical data. 9 out of 10 pigs recommend a well-parsed registry.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS BETTER THAN BACON

... bacon doesn't get all funky like the windows Registry does from time to time

How could you! It is a pig's whole raison d'être. Small little piglets dream that one day they may be good enough to form the inner slices of ambrosia that make the perfect BACON lettuce tomato samich. No pig would die for anything less!

I've never run into permission issues trying to eat bacon...

Which raises the question: where in the registry would you store a value indicating love/dislike of bacon? I mean, there is no HKEY_BACON hive (though there should be).

It's implied, "love bacon" is the only valid option.

It’s worthwhile to learn some programming languages just to expand your thinking. Learn a language outside your comfort zone, even if you don’t foresee any practical use for it. Expanding your mind is practical enough. Conversational Programming 101

Granted I know about 15 different programming languages, I do work with about 4 or 5 of them on a regular basis.

When I bounce back and forth between c++ and vb6 as I do now in a project nearing completion that is two programs in one project, I often will use '' for c++ comments and // for VB6 comments when I come back from a while in the other language. I also will neglect the Then statement in a VB6 conditional, having not needed to use that syntax in C. Only to be mocked by the compiler at build time.
Infuriating!
And I do it over and over.

I can't say I have too much difficulty, except when I'm writing in multiple languages simultaneously. The most common offense for me is adding semicolons to the ends of lines in Python after coming out of C#/Java code, but that's still valid Python, it just looks weird.

The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself. (Especially code from companies that employ people like me.) No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code. In demonstrating the possibility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler. I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware microcode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs will be harder and harder to detect. A well installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.

Logging in to web sites is ironically one of the most difficult tasks put before our users. Usernames and passwords are hard to remember, and harder than ever to type on the tiny on-screen keyboards of mobile devices. Even large, successful websites report that they receive an outsized number of support requests pertaining to login problems. We need something better. My voice is my passport. Verify Me.

Microsoft is simply following a strategy that makes large users of Android and Linux stop thinking of them as free. And by focusing on large users it also leaves small users, enthusiasts, researchers, etc. that are more likely to be hurt by a direct attack on Linux itself completely alone. I think it’s the right thing to do, though I don’t think it will change the market dynamics much at this point. You're probably violating a patent just by reading this.

the Internet (including of course the World Wide Web and – more importantly for this discussion – Domain Name Systems) is one of the most important inventions of all time, yet we are having trouble coming up with names for new websites just 27 years later. The web is unsustainable in its current form. ...because all the good domains are taken? Um, no.

Time to bring back Geocities! 
Actually, there are plenty of domain names out there. And when people die, I imagine they will probably not own their domains any longer. Supposing planets have a limited number of people they can sustain, that means we need a very finite number of domains (because there are limited people to use them and they can be recycled).
If we ever move to another planet, we can create a planet TLD (.com.earth, .com.mars, .com.space...).
