Too bad, such a sad fate for the Latvian dream.

We had the first question: the professor asked "why is there a copyright on your presentation?"

(the copyright mentioned some publishing company, not the students)

user315433

The important question, how are the projects licensed?

user315433

Is it MIT or something else?

user315433

note to self: at the end of an incomprehensible presentation, when nobody has any questions to ask, raise a licensing question

user315433

The Nobody Cares license is pretty good. I believe this is the current license for SE content: meaning there is a license but nobody cares what it is.

user315433

Moving from NC to MIT would not be an improvement.

@JonEricson meaning that you were in Houston for a long time?

Jon Ericson

@Telkitty Nope. I was working at JPL, which is just over the hills in Pasadena.

user202362

Somalia would be good place to launch space shuttle ... physically, coz on the equator

Evan Carroll

So.. I'm in the top 20%. And, I'm questioned banned again after a positive contribution.

This network is a gigantic pile poop.

Jon Ericson

@Telkitty Kinda hard to beat Florida: plenty of infrastructure, ocean and rotational velocity.

Evan Carroll

How did that get me a question ban? The SE Employees even thought it was a good idea. That's the kind of stuff we're supposed to be doing.

> In no cases will expressing an unpopular viewpoint block you from further participation, unless you do it repeatedly and that's the only thing you do.

Evan Carroll

It's not the only thing I do. The last question I asked was upvoted positively. It was the only thing I did in like six months. And, StackExchange employees agreed with me.

I think this service needs a ground-up rewrite in Haskell. Haskell programmers understand math and can create algorithms without such glaring flaws.

Shog9

@EvanCarroll it didn't. You've been question banned on MSE for ages.

But due to changes in the rules, you're now allowed one question every 6 months even if banned.

That was your one.

Evan Carroll

What a bunch of nonsense.. So regardless of the reputation on that one question I've got a quota?!?! Bwahhaah is crack a company expense at Stack Exchange?

That's golden in all right ways.

"We build a QA site that let's the community decide if they like questions and answers, and then we tell them to shove their voice right up their ... and go ahead with a lasting ban regardless of how the community uses upvotes and downvotes."

Where is the venture capitalist that funds this outlet, I need a sucker.

user202362

Why do you think there are so many mods and CMs, they are there to ~~bang~~ ban you. Since there aren't many bannable people, they made it harder to ban users. But still, their jobs are to ban people, they must find a way to ban someone, otherwise their lives would be meaningless. Maybe you appear to be more bannable than everyone else?

@EvanCarroll also, not calling you dumb or anything, why do you always choose playgrounds on which you would be disadvantaged?

user315433

Interesting site... stackoverfllow.com

Evan Carroll

Not really interesting, just an advanced version of Yahoo Answers.

user315433

I like the "other" category.

@EvanCarroll you are Q banned right, lemme tell ya how you can get out of it - find the person/ppl responsible to your banning, send love letters to their email address every 8 hours for a week, your ban will be lifted after 7 days
