First of all, I'm not looking for miracle... I know how PHP works and that there's not really way to hide my code from the clients without using encryption. But that comes with the cost of an extension to be installed on the running server.  I'm looking for something different though... I'm not looking to encrypt my code or even obfuscate it. There are many PHP scripts without encrypted/obfuscated code but they are commercial applications. For instance, vBulletin and/or IP.Board forum applications.  I just want to know what approach do these guys use for their applications...  I'm also open to any other suggestions.  Please note that I'm a single person and not working for a company. My product is also very specific, it won't sell that much. I just want you guys to know that I can't afford to consult a legal professional either to sue someone or prepare a commercial license. I'm just looking for a simple way to protect my simple product, if it's indeed possible, somehow...

So I was searching for one of my own websites on Google: http://www.botlibre.com  and to my surprise found some clones of my website, like:  http://83waystowasteyourtime.adidas.com  and:  http:// mediaiq.astral.comm  My question are:   Why are they creating clones of my website?  Some kind of SEO scheme or what? What gain could they be getting? How do they have a URL at adidas.com and astral.comm?  I assume it's not Adidas steeling my content. How do I shutdown these sites and stop people from stealing my content? (on Tomcat)

I'm looking to use a few APIs and many come with keys, secret keys and passwords required to work. Where in WordPress can you store that information? Assuming anyone can hack your DB is there anyway for WordPress to make saving that information more secure? Also, consider the ability to change these keys ever so often so I would need to update the keys on an options page.  UPDATE

I have created a  that i would like to add to my portfolio, but i'm having a hard time getting high quality screenshots of the full site. I tried to save the website as PDF, but that was full of errors, other online services cant recreate the images and so on. I've also just tried to take regular screenshots on the mac at put it all together, but it really lost a lot of quality when i scaled it down.  Any good ideas? :)

I made many copies of an object, then I thought it would've been better if I made them to share the same Data (being an instance of the same original object), I know how to do it one by one, is there a way to do it for all of them at once? I tried Copy Attribute add-on but didn't find what option can do that, or even if this is possible in the first place.

On an ASP.NET website, are static classes unique to each web request, or are they instantiated whenever needed and GCed whenever the GC decides to disposed of them?  The reason I ask is because I've written some static classes before in C# and the behavior is different than I would have expected. I would have expected static classes to be unique to each request, but it doesn't seem like that is the case.  If they are not unique to each request, is there a way to allow them to be?  UPDATE: The answer driis gave me was exactly what I needed. I was already using a singleton class, however it was using a static instance and therefore was being shared between requests even if the users were different which in this case was a bad thing. Using HttpContext.Current.Items solves my problem perfectly. For anyone who stumbles upon this question in the future, here is my implementation, simplified and shortened so that it easy to understand the pattern:  using System.Collections; using System.Web;  public class GloballyAccessibleClass {     private GloballyAccessibleClass() { }      public static GloballyAccessibleClass Instance     {         get         {             IDictionary items = HttpContext.Current.Items;             if(!items.Contains("TheInstance"))             {                 items["TheInstance"] = new GloballyAccessibleClass();             }             return items["TheInstance"] as GloballyAccessibleClass;         }     } }

I want to remove the URL that gets printed on the bottom of the page.   like:  yomari.com/.../main.php?sen_n   How can it be omitted or prevent from getting printed?  To be more specific, is there any way I can prevent the page URL, date and the page title being printed along, while printing the web page?

I just ran into an answer in which the author included a link to a PDF book that was licensed only to them. I'm pretty sure this is copyrighted material and the author does not want copies of the book to be freely available on the web.   What is the proper etiquette in this situation? Leave a comment? (I can't yet, I just joined.) Mark as offensive? Contact a moderator?

I have a site that is a website/online store for the company. The main goal of the site is to sell the company's product.   In looking to markup the site I am stuck as to what type I should choose.    would work but that is really broad.  is a bit more specific but still really broad. I thought about using  but my concern with using that one is it falls under Local Business. This business is online only, no local store front.   What type should I choose? Is it okay to use Store for an online business even if it doesn't have a local store front?  Also, I've considered using productontology to add an additionalType but there really isn't another type that I can think of.

So i've been working on a Page Object Model framework for a large web application for our current company. It's the first time i've made my own framework and implemented the page object model. Im using Ruby w/Capybara and Selenium-Webdriver for my language/driver of choice.  Currently i've divided each page (or obvious "section of the site") into a class file. This class file has methods for just about everything (or an API of sorts). The problem i've ran into is that I am literally writing a method for every single thing....and i've came across 2 ways people seem to do this:  Lets pretend for a section/page of the site is a widget creation form, the widget has a name/description and some sort of "type" dropdown. Also a save button to save the widget.  Option A (Which is what i've done so far): Make a method for each element (the save button, called save_widget, all the different inputs, etc...)  Option B: Have getter and setter methods for each element, then a larger method which uses these private getter and setter methods.   With Option A my test scripts end up being longer, and honestly not much different than using selenium calls themselves.   Option B would probably call one method (Such as create_widget which would pass in multiple items which that method would call all the smaller getter/setter methods). This would make the test script MUCH shorter and more abstracted. However the getter/setter methods would probably take more actual writing for the page objects themselves (but possibly easier to maintain).  Is there a certain style that favors one over the other? The more I think about it the more Option B seems better...but I wonder if in this case abstraction is a good thing.

Original Post:  I recently attended a lecture with highly technical content.  One of the middle slides in the deck had a particular phrase that reminded me of something that I had read several years before.  It took me a few minutes, but I found the original source (another slide deck) and am shocked to find that the professor lifted 35 slides verbatim from the original source.  The University holds students accountable for plagiarism and strictly defines plagiarism such that this clearly fits.  The slides were used verbatim and no credit or reference was provided.  Further, logos were added and color schemes were changed to make make them look slightly more like original content.  What should I do?  This professor has a professional full time job and I can imagine this getting swept under the rug, but this is clearly plagiarism and is spelled out very clearly in the student conduct code.  Is this an overreaction or should I pursue this?  This is confounded by the fact that I am very disappointed by the rigor of the course and feel like the professor lacks adequate technical background to teach the course (I guess my suspicions came true).  I'm really busy at work so don't want to deal with a big todo, but believe this really discredits the academic integrity of the course.  Additional content in response to comments:  The University defines plagiarism as "Using another writer's words without proper citation."  There is no proper citation given here, and these are not educational materials.  This is 35 slides from someone else's tutorial presentation.  I do not believe that the professor and the author of the original content have a relationship.  I have emailed the author to enquire about any permissions or relationship.  Still, even with permission, this is still plagiarism as defined be most people and as defined by the University.  All original works in the US are implicitly copyright protected, so there is also a copyright issue, but this is not currently my concern, though it could be of interest to the original author.  I have emailed him, so this is up to him.  This is a US institution and is a top tier highly respected school.  I am also not a lay student, but a Ph.D. with a degree from a top tier university who has served as a faculty member at two top tier universities (including this one).  I have also taught undergraduate courses in the past.  I have never engaged in this type of plagiarism, have never known colleagues to do so, and am shocked that so many people suggest this is par for the course in teaching.  My doctorate is from a school that prides itself on its honor code and takes honor code violations very seriously and I have served on the honor council and deliberated on a case of plagiarism in the past.  I really am shocked by this incident.  Response from Original Author of the Slides:  I have received a response from the author of the slides and he states that the work is his original work, that there are no additional authors of the work, that no one has been given permission to present the work, and that he believes his copyright on the work has been infringed upon.  He has requested additional information to assert his claim on the copyright.

As a student, I make mistakes all the time, and stealing my idea will not face heavy retaliation. I don't mind if someone comes up with concurrent works, but I do mind if my key idea is leaked. Many graduate students in my field therefore only use pre-print services if their papers are either publicly presented or conditionally accepted. I am looking for a website that can do most of what ArXiv does, with an additional private option or limited visibility, for example an option to make the paper unindexed by search engines. This way, my paper cannot be seen for at least a few months. By doing so, I can at least claim that I am one of the first few researchers who got the idea right. And most importantly, I can privately correct my mistakes, if any. Publishing mistakes is embarrassing and sometimes harms one's career. Many mistakes will be revealed during the peer-review processes and I have a chance to correct them before publicizing. Please kindly think twice before giving ethically and &quot;politically correct&quot; comments like no one will scoop me, everyone will cite me, and the scoopers will be punished. At least in my field, scooping and idea-stealing is commonly observable, and big-names don't care about publicizing pre-prints because they have resources to punish the scoopers. I do understand that keeping my work private might harm the community as the information becomes less transparent. However, it could also be possible that my un-reviewed flawed works misguide the community, and a paper reviewed will benefit the society more. I personally wasted six months because of someone else's mistake in a published work.  I heard that in molecular biology there is a widely-used service to upload your research data, like protein structure and sequencing, to get a timestamp. The uploaded materials can be set to be private for a period, and fully disclosed later. A lot of people do use this function. This is not exactly what I am looking for but shares some similar ideas. If I remember correctly, there is an interesting paper studying the scooping patterns with the aid of this database.  Solutions found!  and some other university-run pre-print services do have an embargo function. Moreover,  is a widely used repository, that, unlike arxiv, only displays the newest version to the general public, although still keeps a tag on the first submitted date!

I just found http://programmingfaq.w3ec.com/faq/4761/whats-the-hi-lo-algorithm which has an exact copy of this Stack Overflow question, , with all its answers and no difference in a single character. There is no reference to Stack Overflow.  Is this legal, or at least tolerated? Is this impertinent theft of information? I just can't see any sense in copying whole pages, particularly when not referencing the source.

when I was at design college 2013 we were told (for educational purposes) that we could use images from the net (only photographs) to incorporate into designs for posters, collages, magazine covers, etc, and that we obviously could not make any money from these designs, but that we could use them in our portfolio. Is this true or false? I now have an FB page and, as a recent graduate, want to put up some of these designs on my page. But is that copyright, or is it permissible as an example for work I've done, so long as no money is being made from it? Do I need to state that photography wasn't original? (I'm not even sure now where I got them from!) I usually put a copyright label on my posted works to cover myself, but if the above described is permissible, then do I need to not use that copyright label as its not completely original? (because I have used some photographs from the net which have then been rearranged/edited/etc etc and incorporated into a design).  Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Since Quora just went public, I decided to have a look around and found certain topics like Gmail that contained questions that would be great for the Web Apps SE-site.  However, would it be considered plagiarism if I simply asked the same questions on the new site?  Edit: I would only look at the titles for an interesting question to ask, so if I write my own question body, it's not plagiarism in the real sense of the word. However, it's probably not really polite since if we are better indexed or have a better PageRank, we would steal some of their attention.  In response to Jeff's answer: how should I attribute to the sites? Simply mention I found this question on Quora and link to it?

I would love a simple, personal notes taking feature. Not for everything on this page, but just on my personal page. Just for me to take some personal notes about stuff on this page, some useful metaqueries, links related to this site, etc.  I know I could use bookmarks, but those are only local to the browser, and I use the site from different places a lot, and so, for taking notes about a page, the page itself is the most logical location.  And it's only one extra column in the user table, so I shouldn't take too long for you to develop :))

I'm in the middle of planning a game built using JavaScript and HTML5.    I'm having trouble understanding how you could prevent someone from simply copying the JavaScript from the web server and either making their own game with it (not my biggest concern), or substituting their own JavaScript functions and dashing any hope for reliable clients in the wild if the game was to eventually support multiplayer.  Can anything be done to prevent just anybody from reading the JavaScript?    If not, should all game processing be taking place on a server somewhere with the client's only responsibilities being capturing user input and drawing graphics?
