ibjhb writes "Google is at it again and has launched Google Code. It appears to be "Google's place for Open Source software". " Can't say that I'm surprised that our old friend (and former Slashdot Author) Chris DiBona is working on this one. They have links to several open source projects, as well as to Google API information.

  We won't have as many duped posts? Articles and links will be checked before they're posted? Grievous spelling errors will be corrected in the editing process? There will actually be an editing process?
  
  On the other hand, there will still be a Cowboy Neal Option in the polls.

  Google Car Insurance?
  
  Google can help you search billions of pages on the Internet, but it won't save you any money on car insurance.

That's pretty much the opposite of the problem I usually have.

This is a scaled-back version of the approach taken by the best pure R&D labs: Hire very smart people and then don't give them any specific assignments beyond "Do something new and interesting."

Given the large number of major thing discovered by pure accident . Maybe you would be better off hiring a bunch of incompetent idiots and carefully watching what happens when you tell them do something difficult.
