I'm designing a new site and I take ideas from sites but mix them around a little bit. All companies have the copyright on their footer, what does the copyright include?  For example, can you copyright the flow and structure of a site? Or, just the concept and logo?
After the recent "Look and Feel" Apple vs Samsung lawsuits, I've been wondering to what extent this might affect websites/webapps that offer functionality similar to other existing sites.  So what exactly would one have to be wary of to make sure they don't step on the toes of a big corporation?  I could see carbon copying a companies website/app (especially if it's a very distinctive product) being a bad practice that could get you some backlash, especially blatantly ripping off iconic terminology, but how similar is too similar?  Does the ten-foot rule apply to the web?     “If a reasonable person could not, at ten feet, tell the difference between two competitive products, then there was cause to believe an infringement was occurring.”   Or is there a separate legal precedent associated with the web?  And then where does feel, which is essentially the common term for UX, come in.  Can you patent the way a website "feels", as in the flow, organization and functionality associated.  I understand that you can't patent basic elements like radio buttons, but what about the layout and look of a large number of those elements used in combination to complete a certain action/s?    I know that is still a bit of a Sword of Damocles for online retailers.  Where is the line drawn for website/webapp copyright infringement?  Or is there even a line drawn yet?
NSDictionary with ordered keys I have an NSDictionary (stored in a plist) that I'm basically using as an associative array (strings as keys and values).  I want to use the array of keys as part of my application, but I'd like them to be in a specific order (not really an order that I can write an algorithm to sort them into).  I could always store a separate array of the keys, but that seems kind of kludgey because I'd always have to update the keys of the dictionary as well as the values of the array, and make sure they always correspond.  Currently I just use [myDictionary allKeys], but obviously this returns them in an arbitrary, non-guaranteed order.  Is there a data structure in Objective-C that I'm missing?  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to more elegantly do this? Fastest method to determine my PC's IP address (Windows) This may seem trivial but I'm looking for the quickest method to determine my PC's IP address within my network.   This changes regularly as I connect from one network to the next via DHCP The connection changes from wired to wireless Windows 7 PC (although ideally the perfect solution would work on all versions of Windows) Various adapters installed (e.g. VMWare, Tunnels, etc.)   I need to know this as I often run a local web server where I need to access files over the local network... and since it changes regularly I want the fastest method to retrieve the address.  My current flow is:   WindowsKey + R to open the Run dialog "cmd" + Enter to open a command prompt "ipconfig" + Enter to get the diagnostics info Scroll to or resize the window so that I can see the line in my Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection for my ipv4 Address Remember it to type elsewhere... or  Right click > select Mark > highlight the address > press Enter to copy it to the clipboard   This wasn't so bad with Windows XP when I had no additional adapters, tunnels, wireless connections etc. but the amount of data returned with this command makes it hard to pluck out.  Surely there must be a better, faster way! (bonus points if adding it to the clipboard is easily accomplished) Peltier Unit Not Working Echo from MySQL database with spaces and line breaks? I predicted the formula by finding total number of non-isomorphic labelled trees of order 1 is 1 , order 2 is 1,order 3 is 3,order 4 is 16,order 5 is 125.But how do i prove it ? I am beginner in graph theory so i will be very thankful if i get some simple approach to solve the problem(Not by using some difficult theorems). How to create a GUID / UUID I'm trying to create globally-unique identifiers in JavaScript.  I'm not sure what routines are available on all browsers, how &quot;random&quot; and seeded the built-in random number generator is, etc. The GUID / UUID should be at least 32 characters and should stay in the ASCII range to avoid trouble when passing them around. Lightning Web Components: navigate to the 'new' object page passing in specific record type Id? I am using LWCs to display lightning cards in a list.  The list shows information about Programs.  Each Program card has a button, and this button needs to take the user to the 'new object' screen of the Application object.  Here is my code:   applyToProgram(event) {     // The recordTypeId is coming from the .html     // I have verified that the value is correct.     var rtId = event.target.id;      // How do I use rtId below?     this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({         type: 'standard__objectPage',         attributes: {             objectApiName: 'Application__c',             actionName: 'new',             nooverride: '1',             recordTypeId: rtId  // This does not work         }     }); }   This is not working.  The user is presented with the 'new object' screen for the object's default record type and NOT the one specified in rtId.  I tried putting 'nooverride' and 'recordTypeId' in the state:{} argument, and I also renamed 'recordTypeId' to just 'recordType'.  None of these worked.  Can anyone help me with the correct syntax?  Is this even possible in LWCs?  Thanks, Jeff View progress towards Announcer, Booster, and Publicist badges I shared a link to a question and now I am wondering whether I am almost going to get an announcer badge.  Can I somehow see which links I shared and how many clicks were on it for the last days?  Update:  Maybe this would be a nice feature. Next to any question you can see who has promoted it the most (number of fresh hits from a referer link) and also the amount of new ip's through search engine's and other referring sites.  Note the progress feature should include the Announcer, Booster, and Publicist badges. It's known that when you're connecting to a wrong server via ssh and send your password  to it, your password comes in a plain text and a server saves it by default. Probably. I wonder, where I can retrieve it? I don't see it in /var/log/auth.log, although I do see all the attempts to authenticate. I know that symlinks have a separated inode from the original file and that they only point for the inode containing the data. My question is, where is the hardlink name stored if there's no field in the inode structure refering to "name". I know that this could be a a relatively easy question, but as all hardlinks have the same inode number i assume that no inode is created when creating a hard link. Why did Dumbledore make it less difficult to get to the Sorcerer's Stone? The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone was removed from Gringotts to be placed under the most impenetrable of protections at Hogwarts under Dumbledore's custody. But it seems clear Dumbledore took protections which could have been impenetrable, and deliberately made them less so, such that at best they would only slightly slow down anybody trying to access the Stone, rather than just plain block them.  For example, after the Devil's Snare, you have a locked door enchanted such that it cannot be opened by any charm or other means except its own assigned key. That's a great protection, potentially an impassable barrier if the key is not available.  But the key is then left right there in front of the door in the same room.  At least the key is flying around the ceiling. But there are broomsticks right there in the same room, too.  The room with the fires front and back—that could also have been a solid defense—deadly fires that cannot be passed through unless you drink very specific potions tailored to each particular fire's properties.  Except that those potions providing safety are put right there in the same room.  At least, perhaps, they're surrounded by other bottles, some of which contain poison. With no way to know which bottle is safe, that could still almost be a solid protection.  Except that a piece of paper with a logic puzzle detailing exactly which bottles are which is put on the table with them.  Dumbledore always had reasons, and those reasons were always virtuous. What was he up to, deliberately weakening the protections in this way? How was Loki not crushed by Mjolnir? In the Thor movie, Thor puts Mjolnir  on top of Loki at the end of the movie to stop him from moving.  Why did this not crush Loki?  And if it did not crush him, why could he not just roll out from under it? Database synchronization between dev/staging and production Is there a function to extract the extension from a filename? I'm attempting to cut a hole in a plane. I added a cylinder object, added the Boolean modifier to the plane, selected "cylinder" and "Difference", but no hole is made. The lower half of the cylinder just highlights, moving/deleting the cylinder reveals a hole-less plane.      How can i cut a hole in the plane? Evaluating the infinite product $\prod\limits_{k=2}^\infty \left ( 1-\frac1{k^2}\right)$ Evaluate the infinite product $$\lim_{ n\rightarrow\infty }\prod_{k=2}^{n}\left ( 1-\frac{1}{k^2} \right ).$$  I can't see anything in this limit , so help me please.

How to reinstall PulseAudio (Ubuntu 12.04) Table of Variables Usage of "they" / "them" / "their" when the person's gender is not known I know that one can use "they" / "them" / "their" in place of "he" / "him" / "his" or "she" / "her" / "hers" when the subject's / direct object's gender is not known; for instance, just looking at the default user's about me section on Stack Exchange sites:     Apparently, this user prefers to keep an air of mystery about them   My question is what happens when someone wants to reference the subject using a pronoun instead.  Should the verb be conjugated accordingly to the pronoun? E.g.:     Apparently, they prefer to keep an air of mystery about them   Or should the conjugation be retained? E.g.:     Apparently, they prefers to keep an air of mystery about them   The former looks unclear because it wouldn't allow the reader / listener to understand if the writer / speaker is talking about a single person or about a group of people, however the latter sounds very weird, at least just to the non-native speaker which I am.
