    Rarely is this troll topical...

  2. Oh no ... by binpajama · · Score: 0 · on Banjo Used In Brain Surgery

    The banjo player must not die!

  3. I've seen this disconnect by MadFarmAnimalz · · Score: 1 · on The Disconnect Between Management and the Value of IT
    ... and I've had to address it. It is possible this might be of interest and relevance; I worked some time in microfinance, and was asked to deliver a capacity building workshop on IT for senior leadership. Managed to make it Creative Commons. :) But a glance at the deck goes a long way to illustrating the kind of fundamental lack of understanding and pragmatism towards enterprise IT which the article refers to.

    FWIW, I think one of the key outputs of IT Governance implementation is to stamp out this form of disconnect.

  4. What kind of kids are we trying to raise with OLPC by JosefAssad · · Score: 0, Offtopic · on OLPC and CC Free Content Drive
    See, it depends. If we want the kids to know that God is a disinterested chap, that cup size is the primary determinant for getting into Heaven, and that hamsters are good for more than just tasty sandwiches (wha?) then this ought to go on the stack.

    Then again...

    Parenting classes? Me? Why? Oh come onnnnnnnnn...

  5. Re:Making money w/ FOSS by JosefAssad · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Earning Money with Open Source Software?

    I liked that comment. It's almost precisely what I did with my novel. Release for free and see if it creates a name that can go places. It being my first, no agents or publishers were willing to talk. Now at 5 months after release it's at around 7K downloads. Debut authors just don't get that kind of exposure. At all. So I concur. Do pro bono work (FOSS in your case, Creative Commons licensed literature in mine) and let that open doors for you.

  6. Re:Or maybe by JosefAssad · · Score: 1 · on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased
    Radiohead themselves will define whether or not it was a success. If they end up making more money off this album than if they had released it through traditional means I would say that would be an attractive means of distrobution.

    I don't think that making money is the only benchmark for success. Otherwise, the novel I released online for free under a CC license is a failure (I personally don't think so; how many debut authors get ~ 4K downloads in the first two months?)

  7. Re:Taco, SCO SUED them. They HAD TO. Seriously! by JosefAssad · · Score: 1 · on Novell Proclaims 'We're Not SCO' and We Won't Sue

    That is freaky. I wrote the precise same thing in my CC licensed novel which I just launched online a week ago!
