If you search at country level, most are Java bastions. UK and France excepted.

whitequeen is my macbook, while my gaming rig is bandersnatch. The wifi id is throughthelookingglass, while the Timecapsule is called thecheshirecat, my iPhone is the dormouse.
I've some unnamed devices laying around that I've been meaning to get to :)
The more of these 'entry points' you get the easier it gets for others, whose specialty you know a bit of, to communicate with you.
Bonus points if you have a 'relative difficulty' idea for most of those entry points.
Be sure to read the FAQ there. The TL;DR version is to pick up one of the two programs mentioned above (5x5 or starting strength).
If the old version was held by someone else, would it then also be open for the public ?
As far as I can tell, patents pretty much stand on their own.
The essential part is basically that you work from wherever you find yourself most productive. Personally, as long as I can avoid commutes of over an hour, I'm happy enough.
Working from my actual home has some extra benefits (like going out with my dogs whenever I take a short break etc.), but I definitely appreciate working from another place every now and then.
When given money, the stats seem to indicate that these people invest that money in both short term (food !) commodities and long term (land, livestock, housing) assets.
Basically, giving money directly is allowing these people to go out and buy some fish for right now, and a fishing pole for tomorrow.
An added benefit is that this is a very lean way to organize aid, since there is no need for dozens of committees and meetings and other organisational overhead to determine the most efficient way to spend. You just let the receivers decide for themselves.
Sure there will be some abuse and some people that go even further off the rails due to drug abuse or bad investments, but most of these people are just as capable as you and me to plan their live, they just need that little boost to get back ON the rails in the first place.
A somewhat similar model is used by Kiva, except that they give the money as a loan, and it's expected to be paid back. Maybe that approach is a bit more in line with your opinion.
Judging by a post on his blog* I doubt that his was very lucrative for him.
This not only lets you read more code, but also lets you pick up knowledge in areas that are often taken for granted (no need to think about X, there's a library / plugin /framework for that).
If you want to do value based pricing, you need to have a sales pitch that differentiates you from the market, or risk pricing yourself out of said market.
Making a lot of money per <hour|day|week|...> doesn't come down to just asking for it. You have to market yourself.
My main point was that a 5$ ONE TIME charge is way too low. Typically ARPU is calculated over a certain period of time (monthly, quarterly, yearly).
This isn't 100%, but it would effectively block everyone in my family except me.
Specifically, how is his example of a celebrity's silly picture being used by Instagram to advertise a silly product plain wrong ?
I also fail to see how he comes across as entitled in his post. He's merely expressing a concern, one that, at face value, seems to be pretty valid.
How steep you find a learning curve is likely to be influenced by your technical history.
That said, the difference in difficulty, in my experience, is certainly not an order of magnitude.
It doesn't matter if that piece of software was the best or the worst implementation in its field.
If you have a GoogleTv, there's an App to view plex content in the Play store.
As an added bonus, it's possible to run sickbeard / couchpotato / sabnzbd on a Synology as well, so it becomes a set and forget experience.
Anyone is free to create a petition on petitions.whitehouse.gov
This particular petition has only about 8000 signatures, the population of louisiana is 4,574,836 since 2011.
It makes crafting commits a joy.
Much like you, I'm done with researching what device to get for weeks, finally settling on one (with the necessary compromises) and then get shafted anyway.
Plenty happy with my iPhone so far, I may reconsider Android once the no-upgrade, crappy custom skin, comes with crapware problems it's riddled with are resolved.
