Does anyone know how to programmatically obtain TV listings for a particular time zone? Is there a service I can subscribe to?
Thanks.
Searching for TV Listings API has a lot of promising results, but I don't think you're going to find any free ones, for better or worse.
Check your cable provider or try to scrape off their sites?
As far as I searched, the only viable solution I've found is this one :
http://services.tvrage.com/
They provide a public API that is quite complete and updated regularly, but it's not timezone dependant.
I'm afraid that what you are asking is too specific.
Maybe you should create it yourself ? ;)
You could contact the team behind Zapping.io. They have an API for the television programming with metadata (actors, plot, posters and ratings)

I’m considering buying HTTP: The Definitive Guide with the goal of properly understanding HTTP and related technologies. I’m wondering if—13 years after its publication—the book is still worth buying.
To help me make a decision, I’m looking for input on two questions:
What important changes have happened in the world of HTTP that the book doesn’t cover? (For bonus points: what resources are recommended reading to catch up?)
Are any of the sections not relevant anymore at all?
Check the book’s table of contents to get an idea of what’s covered.
Edit: This book isn’t about web fronted technologies. Obviously, there have been dramatic changes in that area since 2002. Please answer with respect to HTTP. Thanks.
HTTP 1.1 has been around since the late 90s. The information should still be very relevant.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/History.html
HTTP 2.0 is starting to gain momentum. It has been majorly revised and is a binary protocol now. But there are probably not many books written about it at this time.

First of all, this is obviously for learning porpoises only. Don't be afraid to answer.
So anyway, is there a way for a man to hack a computer logging in, for example, to a garry's mod server hosted on my PC?
If there is, I am very interested on how this is working. Explanations will be welcome.
In general terms, yes, it's possible. Game clients receive data from their servers, which they expect to be in a particular format. If the server is modified to send mis-formatted data, the result could easily be to trigger a buffer overflow or other exploitable bug in the client.
See for example http://threatpost.com/researchers-discover-dozens-of-gaming-client-and-server-vulnerabilities/100744
Not sure about your locale, but most countries have a similar law to the UK's Computer Misuse Act. Which pretty much means 'hacking back' is illegal.
If you want to learn about exploits, and how to use them ethically - www.google.com is the place to start, try looking for 'ethical hacking course'

I have a project idea for which I want to mine publicly available data on another website that it received by crowd-sourcing. This is so I have initial data for my own project. To reiterate, I want to write a robot to grab data that is displayed on another website and use it for my own website. Does anyone know the legality of this sort of thing? Does the original website own the data that was given to it by a crowd? Even if so, can I use it?
Web scraping is a legally complicated issue.
The hassles of legal action and enforceability often keep scrapers from getting in trouble.
Outright duplication is considered actionable, although courts have ruled that "duplication of facts" is permitted (US).
I advise you read up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping#Legal_issues
Best,
legally, you should be fine. as long as the data is made available and the people have consented; you aren't hacking and the other site has permission to share. check for a license on the other site, if there isn't one inquire or be prepared for access to be denied at some point. and even though it is publicly available doesn't mean the other site wants it to be.
also, double check and make sure that you don't inadvertently publish private data as well.

My task is to tweak Google Analytics to fit complex needs for statistics of our website.
Google Analytics looks quite straightforward but on the other hand it seems to have lots of advanced features and endless possibilities and I don't want to learn by trial and error. I want to approach this task professionally.
What book, website or other resource would you recommend for studying purposes.
I read the Brian Clifton book last summer, and it was pretty decent for a high level overview. Check out the associated blog too. Check out the Brian Clifton book
Amongts Clifton's book, I recommend you to take the Google Analytics Individual Qualification test for which there is a lot of related lessons in the Conversion University, and get subscribed to the official Analytics blog to keep yourself up-to-date with the new features.

today I was looking for a free collaborative code editor for Mac OS X, I don't really need it but I find the idea pretty charming. So I want to know you opinion about that: is there someone in real world who is using a collaborative code editor and gets some benefits out of it?
We use it over the Internet when discussing code via Chat/VoIP. Something along:
A: "If we change this to be an Integer the function gets much simpler" (Edit)
B: "Niftiy, but then we have to change it here, too" (Edit)
A: ...
If you're pairs programming it is very useful. The approach can be discussed and everyone can drive when they have ideas. I can't say I've had the privilege of using this at work.
I've found it fairly useful when putting together packing/todo/etc lists with my wife while at work. We use google docs, which isn't quite realtime, but it is definitely better than emailing back and forth throughout the day.
