Electronics and robotics aside, the directions for building simple mechanical structures like hinges and joints in that book are pretty good for children, too.

>Some will say if you supply object files so that the end user can relink, that's fine.

It's not "some will say"; supplying object files for your code and source for the LGPL library is specifically listed as an option in the LGPL itself.

I think you could use something like https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon to get it up and running pretty easily.

Yes, it uses googledrive.com, but not for anything user-identifiable.

The threat is that a user logs in to googledrive.com and receives an authentication cookie tied to their Google account. Later, they view a malicious user page at googledrive.com/host/someevilpage, and a script on that page reads the authentication cookie and sends it to the attacker, who can now log in to googledrive.com as the victim.

That doesn't happen here because you don't actually log in to googledrive.com. The worst a malicious script could do is harvest data set by other scripts, and that's a drastically smaller (although still present) threat.

There seems to be some case law that suggests that domain names are at least similar to property, but I imagine that in most cases the user agreement strips most of that away in the registrar's favor.

Here's a slightly outdated article that provides a good introduction to some of the legal issues: http://www.domainhandbook.com/property.html

As a Namecheap customer considering a move to Gandi, I'm curious what it was that Namecheap did in the past that you don't like?

It's interesting to me how negative most of the comments are here, compared to how positive they were for a very similar idea last week: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5081053

I think chc's point is that it takes less time to google "Cornyn Guantanamo" and "Cornyn wiretapping" than it does to post the question here, and will produce a better answer to boot.

I used Clang 3.1 to compile some small C programs on Windows, and the only problem I ran into was Clang defaulting the search paths based on the compiler used to build Clang itself. So, kind of goofy that Clang usage depends on whether you used MinGW or MSVC to build it (why isn't it compiling itself, anyway?), but easy enough to work around by adding the search paths on the command line.

I've always thought that this, rather than any misunderstanding of what makes up an OS, is why "GNU/Linux" never caught on.

That's some horrible selection bias. What about all the people who built something without asking anyone and it was a complete flop? What about all the successful products that did do market research?

I think this is an intriguing idea, and I know this is a silly nitpick, but the all caps function names make me feel like I'm reading HTML from 1995.

Alternately, use any competent DNS provider.
