This is not IP trolls. That company has no claim to facts. It doesn't matter if the comment says that source was used. Facts are facts. The people pulling the database are essentially pieces of shit for not ignoring the stupid claim. They should try to work with the EFF to fight the bullshit claim.

Yes. It should be unusual for a single developer working on a personal project not to use source control. On another note it's unusual and usually a bad sign for a small company to have 15 developers.

With the given geometric interpretation, the complex numbers are isomorphic with the algebra generated by the sin/cos matrices; the matrix with columns (cos x, sin x) and (-sin x, cos x) is the number cos x + i sin x = cis x.

Harhar. The matrix (cos x, sin x) (-sin x, cos x) effects a rotation by x when it acts on a vector by matrix multiplication.

I'm also pretty sure you can't declare a pointer to a char[], but no one's seemed to bring that up. When you declare char b[] .... there is no physical allocation for b itself -- it exists only in your C code as the address of the buffer. There's no way to change this address in the program itself.
