Craig Hates the Internet: Part I
Some days, I hate the internet.
This item on Fark.
The headline of the link seems to assume that NASA is just making stuff up, then the people who comment follow suit. There's nothing in the article to say that NASA is delaying for false reasons, just the person who submitted the article to Fark in the first place. The commenters seem to think that they know more about how winds affect launches than NASA does.
This item from Cory Doctorow on BoingBoing.
I know the MPAA is a large corporate entity who loves to exercise their rights to get more money, but that doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to reality when they appear to be doing something wrong. When you use another person's code that they have made freely available, it is common practice to leave their comment in, with the link to their site. You don't need to put a link for everyone to see at the bottom of your page.
This site wasn't built by the corporation, it was built by someone the corporation hired. How do people not realize this? A web designer just doing what they normally do, and then the MPAA gets jumped on for it. The post, if there should be one at all, should have been "Another webdesigner fails to give another person credit for a small code snippet."
I tried making this entertaining to read, but it just turned into complaining.
