Which are the significant algorithms for humankind in past decades? Exactly and I think the basic compression algorithm LZW can be considered one of the most beautiful algorithms in software engineering. |

Copyright notices/disclaimers in source files I think I understand that, but why should legal notices be put in each source file? Or if they shouldn't then why do people do it? |

Use of pirated/cracked software for development Anna, what I'm trying to say is, there is no "if" in pirating strictly speaking. If you think copying copyrighted software means "stealing" like you said, then for you it is stealing regardless of the any justifications you may come up with, e.g. too expensive for the purpose. From both legal and common-sense point of view it is really black and white: you either sabotage the IP laws or you obey. In my opinion saying something like "I hate stealing, but I may make exceptions when I feel more or less comfortable with stealing" is hypocrisy. No morale, just common sense. |

Use of pirated/cracked software for development "if a person makes money using those tools, they should eventually pay for them": and what if they don't make money using those tools? They are using it for (1) fun (2) educational purposes (3) non-commercial purposes. Can or should they pirate? |

Can passionate programmers with limited abilities have life outside work? What a polarizing issue. I got downvoted too for a similar advice. It's either achievement or healthy ("healthy") life but rarely both, though not impossible of course. A superachiever's social and physical life will be settled sooner or later anyway. |

Is Oberon really “a better Pascal”? Oberon seems like a distant echo of the Ada/Pascal era in programming. It may be slightly better than Wirth's original Pascal language, but obviously it is inferior to Turbo Pascal/Delphi. |
