This is such a tricky issue, ultimately I can only see anyone being prosecuted [if the law passes] if something is glaringly obvious [like torrent links].

Any original work has an implicit copyright, whether or not the copyright has been registered. Does this mean that the only content that may be linked to (including links via Google) is in the Public Domain?
Come to think of it, given how much the EU "loves" Google and its tax planning, maybe this is intended as a Google-killer?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

A newly announced methodology wants to help businesses manage their freelance programmers. The eXtremely Distributed Software Development (XDSD) methodology is an open software development practice designed to reduce risks and improve quality in projects. Because herding cats is too easy?

Java retains the top spot in the monthly Tiobe index of language popularity, but its momentum is slowing. For those allergic to data types
|
|

A popularity index based on Google searches?
If these languages were obvious and easy to learn people wouldn't need Google for help.
By that logic we should all adopt whatever is on the bottom of the list and declare it the best programming language evah! 
Too bad we won't get a lot of work done in Z Shell, VHDL, and Verilog...

Yeah, it is a silly way of ranking languages. I can see why they do it though: Google queries kinda-sorta-maybe do line up with their usage. Barring new languages/frameworks of course that would cause a spike. And older, more well known languages that developers know well. Of course, both of these would likely be smaller numbers anyway.
Plus, it's consistent, so even if it's wrong, it's consistently wrong, so the month-over-month comparisons work.

Boss: "I heard Python is popular; we must do our project in Python!"
Developer: "I don't know Python."
Boss: "Google it."

Your boss doesn't know Python either.
Just put an actual Python on his desk and call it a day

PHP is like COBOL.......so much code has been written using it that it will now haunt us forever, despite being an ugly monstrosity of a language.

Now Sourceforge and other sites must find a less-annoying way of making revenue. Click here to download more (yes, really)

Thank God. Most of those sites are stupid and annoying anyway.

Financial Times, Feb. 3
"The search company on Wednesday named John Giannandrea, an expert in machine learning, to run the engineering group that devises its ranking algorithms, the core technology for making sense of the deluge of information on the internet.
He replaces Amit Singhal, an Indian engineer who oversaw a rewrite of Google’s ranking technology after joining 15 years ago.
...
Mr Singhal has long used the fictional intelligent computer on Star Trek as the model for the perfect search engine. In a post on Google+ announcing he was leaving the company, he said he had first dreamt of the idea when growing up in the Himalayas. "My dream Star Trek computer is becoming a reality, and it is far better than what I ever imagined," he added." [^]
«In art as in science there is no delight without the detail ... Let me repeat that unless these are thoroughly understood and remembered, all “general ideas” (so easily acquired, so profitably resold) must necessarily remain but worn passports allowing their bearers short cuts from one area of ignorance to another.» Vladimir Nabokov, commentary on translation of “Eugene Onegin.”

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been called the next Industrial Revolution — it will change the way all businesses, governments, and consumers interact with the physical world. Because it will be steam-powered?
