On Moving Toward Software Rentals

Posted by timothy on from the free-software-sidesteps-this dept.

CowboyRobot writes "ACM Queue has an article about the emergence of a service-oriented model of software delivery, supported by the W3C, IBM, HP, and Microsoft. They already have their acronyms down: WSDL (Web Services Description Language), UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration), and WSFL (Web Services Flow Language). The article primarily covers the three phases of negotiating, ending with actual service delivery."

    I know that I am offtopic, and I know that one can easily change the color, BUT:
    We need to once and for all let the editors know that we are fed up with this color scheme.
    That is why I suggest we boycott all IT articles by not posting anything on it until a change is made! Who's with me?!

      Can't you at least try to use some form of redirect or something? I mean, being a troll is bad enough, but you're a lazy troll. In the immortal words of Lao Tzu:
