Neither. Both are too limiting; we need to be more agile than they allow.

Europe's highest court is considering whether every hyperlink in a Web page should be checked for potentially linking to material that infringes copyright, before it can be used. "What do you call 5000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?"

A good start.

HAHAHAHAHA The article says, and I quote, "[...] may well help the CJEU come to the common-sense decision [...]"!
As if any court anywhere would EVER make a common-sense decision

The decision mentioned earlier in the article sounds like common sense to me:
Quote:
In that case, known as Svensson, the court decided that netizens didn't need a licence from the copyright holder to link to an article that had already been posted on the Internet, where previous permission had been granted by the copyright owner.

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.

A step in the correct direction?

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?

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.

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.

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