Nethack is *much* better on an interlaced display: when you hack NTSC to 60 frames of 262 lines instead of true 525, you get blank lines between the dots,why just ruin the experience and immersion into the game . .

Published in Netnomics a few years ago, but I had to assign the copyright. Last time I looked, though, there were some near-final copies still on working papers pages.
There are examples of when it make sense to choose each source. Openoffice, for example, needed a viral license, so that a competitor couldn't run off with the improvements, while IBM needed a good web server to sell hardware, not a particular server, so the free license to apache made sense. Similarly for Apple and Darwin--they needed stable unix underneath, but it's not the product itself.
There are also game-theory payoff tables for various situratoins in there.
I didn't go into failued projects at all. Hmm, there may be a fllloowup there:)

I've enjoyed most of what I've rad from her, but there was a beating-a-dead-horse problem with the dragon books even while writing them herself.
Now, my library has something like 20 volumes of her kid's books,but not Dragonriders of Pern . . .
In 96 or 97, this was solved when a major package--live or some such, on which nearly everything actually depended to execut--was declared by one person to have an impure license, andhe unilaterally pulled it. If you ran an update, you ended up with a system that w dead in the water, you could run a shell, but I don't remember whether it was single user or console.
In the meantime, I tried FreeBSD afain, and that time it supported my hardware, and stayed with it (and discovered how FreeBSD & Linux would fsck one another's file systems into the ground if left mounted for days).
Someone actuall published a peer-revieWed article someithing like 10 years ago using med lab equipment to do controlled aeration, Nd then double-blind texting.
I forget the results; my main relation was, "why didn't I write that article."
I published a papering the economics of open source software a few years ago; I think there are still somE near-final versions lurking out there on the web.
Anyway, there can be sound economic reasons for both viral (e.g., GPL)' and free (e.g., BSD) licenses.
Very roughly, a final product (Netscape, OpenOffice) needs to stop a competitor from using its product but differentiating itself for an edge, while a component that the competitor need/ (e.g., IBM's need for apache may do better with a free license)

Nah, my radon 9500 ASC was optimized for nethack, and really enhances the experience: http://www.bbspot.com/News/2003/02/ati_ascii.html
I have to disagree.

Simply by recognizing a few words, this can be improved.
In particular "damnit" should be recognized.

As with the passive voice, the rule on GOTO is "avoid," not "never use."
I hit a point in the algorithm for dissertation where I realized that I was going to a lot of trouble that could be solved with a simple GOTO.

I'm just hoping that Firefox-Monday is better than Firefox-Thursday--about a third of the websites I use had problems after this latest "upgrade".

I've been kicking myself recently.
I figured that apple could be sold to liquidate for $20/ share, so I was holding out for a drop to $13 to buy $5k in my Ira.
D'oh
That would be worth more than $500k
And if I'd foolishly put everything into it, I could retire today . . .
IOW, an ulcer is Turing complete . . .
