    Not really since you can't copyright such a thing. It would be similar to patenting it though.

    Jenkem.

    He didn't own Slashdot. He was a member of the BoD that did. They are not the same thing.

    Now this is grey territory as it the client who owns the source, not the contracting developer.

    Sounds like a pretty typical work-for-hire.

    If the client owns the code then they own the copyright and they can do as they like.

    Don't remove the apps from your resume and contact your previous employer. Try to explain the situation. I'm sure this is some kind of fraud. If you can prove that you designed the system, you should insist that your name is in the source.

    If the company owns the code and its copyright how exactly is it fraud? They can change the code however they want due to being the copyright owners.

    I was wondering the same thing. Never played an MMO that did that.

    Why would they do something like that over simply making the currency illegal and arresting anyone for violating laws over minting currency? The conspiracy version makes no logical sense.

    Yes, many did. I am not one of them. My point is merely that Bush's was still a horrible president no matter how much worse Obama is.

    Of course! If Bush hadn't done this and that, then our glorious leader wouldn't have been led into temptation.

    Remember kids, it's always Bush's fault. If you just remember that, you'll be OK.

    Nice strawman. Nowhere did I excuse Obama's abuse of executive power (and that's what all if his actions are). But the fact remains there wiuld have been no Patriot Act to abuse without Bush signing the law.

    Right because instead of spending their time manipulating the USD, Yen, Euro, etc. to make 100s of millions if not billions of dollars or more the "banking system" is creating malware and DDoSing an exchange for a currency used by a less than a thousandth of 1% of the world. Yeah, real believable.

    That Obama may be worse does not mean Bush wasn't horribly bad. Bush is the one who signed these laws and began the precedent of an even greater executive power grab than anyone before him even dared try. Obama is just following the path and taking it to its logical end.

    You make a pretty big assumption that the entire world is going to be told about his disclosure. The vast majority of people aren't so they have just been made vulnerable by his disclosure and don't even know to protect themselves.

    Sounds like you simply have lazy people who would do the same regardless of the methodology they use. They just use Agile as a convenient excuse to be even more lazy than they normally would be. Maybe you need to fire them and hire people with a decent work ethic?

    I don't know why but many people here on Slashdot still think that no matter how often it is corrected.

  24. Re:Seems hollow. on White House Announces Reforms Targeting Patent Trolls · · Score: 2

    The problem is that the people who rail against first-to-file are ignorant of what the system is. Many somehow think it means that prior art, etc. no longer apply when nothing could be further from the truth.

  25. Re:Seems hollow. on White House Announces Reforms Targeting Patent Trolls · · Score: 1

    What exactly is wrong with first-to-file? The rest of the world uses it just fine. Do you even know what the first-to-file means? First-to-file is just the way its decided who a patent goes to if muliple parties try to patent the same thing. Why you rail against the change is bizarre but sounds like your one of the many idiots on Slashdot who misunderstand the concept. Also, you should be all for the change since it also briught along an increased scope of what can be used as prior art to invalidate a patent.
