PHP CLI is brilliant and once I found out about it writing scripts and cron jobs became a lot simpler.
I have php scripts that run on the command line that run for long periods of time. I have also found a lot of ways to reuse code originally written for our website.
I don't know about memory consumption problems, but I have php scripts that are coded functionally (not OO) that run for an hour (processing HUGE amounts of data).
I'm sure it is a licensing issue. If they had agreements for the models or the sound files they'd have to pay those people. I think doom was released without the original sound files. Perhaps that was quake.
It was not a licensing issue that prevented id game assets from being released. Carmack wanted to share the technology, the knowledge, so others could learn from it and improve on it. Letting people play doom/quake for free was not the purpose at all.
I very much doubt that. Generally, either the publisher or (sometimes) the developer owns it all. In the case of EA, those entities are the same. I can't see EA open-sourcing anything, ever, though.
This weekend NPR's "On The Media" had this sad story about a Dallas Texas newspaper owner who was willing to bite the bullet and accept Amazon's 30% offer to his content if they dropped their other requirement: their right to re-license his content to others, on any medium, for the rest of eternity, for free!
That's right; they will pay the paper 30% for each content on the kindle, but they can sell that very content in other mediums, including print, and he gets nothing. The balls on Bezos!
Small cities as a whole suck, but Duluth is like a small town with the amenities of a huge city. International Airport, full shopping mall, 2 universities, symphony, aquarium, tech schools, thriving downtown, you name it. There is talent as well and probably a lot less hotshot programmers like yourself.
Well, those other cities apparently don't have advocates.
