It says that everything
that you obtain or learn from Numenta is their property, where Numenta is the corporation not the technology. I would seem to not cover derived discoveries: ie I assume that if you discover the secret to the universe from a physics HTM you would still own it, but algorithm's and the ideas in their whitepapers are theirs.
This still, like all such contracts, does contaminate you with their IP: restricting what you can later work on, even risking independent work suddenly becoming their property. If you work in even a slightly related field (neuroscience, AI) you might not want to risk it.
On the flip side this is fairly common legalise for a small technology company, the plain spoken description of their policy in the blog seems fairly reasonable if not binding. Consult a lawyer, pay a lot of money, and you probably still wont be sure exactly how it applies.
MSSQL is probably the most useable enterprise database but is much slower than Oracle or DB2.
What we tend to do is prototype in MSSQL and then switch to Oracle (for solaris) and BD2 (for AIX) and sometimes MSSQL on win2000.
It's much easier to develop for MSSQL as get very good debuging for stored proceedures (similar in style to VC++), and we have to rollout on multiple databases (so we have to mess about porting databases anyways.)
DB2 is a pig to setup, but is reliable and scaliable. Oracle is complex, but probably the best RDBM.
(Oh, PS Anyone know how to get Oracle to export a SQL script that to create the current database (like you can when you generate a script in MQSQL ) Thanks)
Britain is at the moment passing laws that make it a legal requirement for ISPs to tap there customers (for MI5). This law will also require suspects to hand over your passwords for any encrypted data they ask for or go to prison.
Having a system that means they cannot prove you have any encrypted data may be the only way to defend against this.
MP3 are about the same quality as CD (There is a small lost of quality which is why I encode at 160bit, but headphones and most speakers downgrade the quality much more an the compression)
They do this by cutting out sound you can't hear, and compressing the rest.
Pyite statement is as stupid as saying that zipping data means you lose data!
It's a spec and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet. It's remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. It's designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned.
Probably using something like SOAP. (Encapsulating objects in XML basically) I went to a (Microsoft) lecture on this a week or too ago, and they were talking about it being used to allow servers to get data for each other. (ie travel company gets list of flights from flight company, etc.). Quite cool.
The problem is that "Free Will" is a ambigious phrase. AI instead talks about levels of Autonomy: There are 3 levels, but that it essentally come down to is how hard it's to tie in low level envents in to what we do.
Therefore Humans have the most autonomy, but do not have free will by a classical defination, after all that difination is founded on dualism the idea that there are physical and mental states.
How can we have free will if your brain only made up of matter determed by genetics and random events, your higher fuctions can only be detrimined by your low fuctions, whether those fuctions are randomised as the go up is not the point.
What you say is perfectly correct, if you are more interested in getting another job, than what you precieve to be a abusment of your project. In an OSS way of looking at things, if he had left quietly, he would be more employable, but Redhat would have no reason to change.
I think what he has done is the opposite of ego thing people have been going on about, I think it shows an honerable charator, especially in the way he concentrated in E, not shuff that is now behind him.

There are a few reasons.
1) The ring is more dangerous to more powerful people as the temptation to try and use it for good would be overwelming.
2) Hobbits are suppost to be able to resist it for longer, for some reason.
3) To take it away by force would likely drive the person mad (is Gollum)
4) Elves, and Ents would be to obvious, part of the problem was that they could not defeat Mordor by force of arms.
5) Saruon would be able to sense Gandauf and a high elf.
It's been a while since I read it so I'm not sure.

Just in case anyone wondering XMLRPC:

A Bug:
Open Explorer make a folder and go in to it.
delete it from the left handside frame and explorer crashes.
I found tons of others (mainly memory leaks).

PS. Has anyone else noted that the development versions of NT are named after mountains in a Cadian Ski resort called Whister?
So we are random then? ;)
