It's just too easy to create infringing code. I don't much like FDR's administration (there's a decent argument that he actually prolonged the Great Depression by his attempt to ram a centralized economy down the country's throat), but one of the good things he did do was to radically cut back the number and scope of patents on the theory that handing out monopolies was a bad idea.
Another of the "taxes are part of your contract for living in a civilized society" mavens. So, if we all paid 100% of our wages to the state, would that make us all sufficiently pious for you? What level is "enough"?
Government exists to serve the people, not the other way around. The "more taxes" crowd forgets this, forgets the abuses that more money collected by the state engenders: more wars (foreign and domestic — think of the War On [Some] Drugs), more secret programs, more spying on citizens, etc. Enough. E-fargin'-nuff.
If Hillary were auctioning off the spectrum would you still hate it, and if the Bush administration canceled the auction would you say it was a good idea?
I didn't think they were a good idea when (Bill) Clinton was in office. I don't think they're a good idea now.
he'd come out against spectrum auctions. Is there any single policy that's proven as pernicious lately? One of the most annoying things to come out of Congress has been the forced conversion of the VHF and UHF spectrums to, well, something else, and the retirement of NTSC broadcasts, mainly because Congress is greedy and wants the money such an auction would give them. Never mind that there's no compelling reason to ditch NTSC broadcasts, or that it will cost billions for consumers to convert their TVs to HD. Those auction costs eventually get passed on to the consumers of those products, too, and that's nothing to sneeze at.
As others have mentioned, monetary results of the clickflow.
How they are doing the measurement. Where do they get their raw numbers? How many samples do they collect, from whom, and how often?
What the error bands are.
Nielsen just isn't that clueful about the web, either 1.0 or 2.0 (blecch). Google will fall down the ratings? Does it matter? How much cash do they generate with ads that people click through to, versus, say, Yahoo or MSN? Nielsen is once again misapplying their experience with TV in the Web domain.

No mass-market innovation will EVER come out of the government. Superficially, the Internet appears to be an exception to his rule, but in fact it was only once the NSF dropped the AUP and gave up policing interconnection policies that it became a commercial success.
I give this "car of the future" exactly zero chance of being anything in anybody's driveway. The real question is, why is NASA wasting dime one on research and development that GM, Ford, and Chrysler should be doing?
... I'm going to take their iPhone and ram it down their throat. What the hell is "Web 2.0"? Who cares! If ever there were a purely marketing-driven BS meme that's already gotten way too stale, it's this one.
Henry Ford spent a not inconsiderable sum invalidating the patents of one George B. Selden, whom many auto manufacturers simply paid off just to be rid of him. Ford correctly foresaw the legal and financial troubles that would pursue him were he to simply pay off Selden, and beat him even though it meant spending a sizeable amount of money and despite the fact that there was only a year left on the patent at the time Ford finally won in appeals court.
I read recently about Frank A. Tinker who got a piece published in the International Journal of Energy Research where he claims he has figured out a way to boost internal combustion engine efficiency by something like 30%.
1. These dots have four arms. 2. Four arms is an odd number to have. 3. The only number that is both even and odd is infinity. 4. Therefore, these dots really have infinite numbers of arms!
This is good news for Firefox. So long as Microsoft thinks it has "won" the browser war, the steady erosion of IE's market share will happen by hook or by crook. That is, viral petri dishes like Active X will be slowly become phased out, and it will be increasingly difficult for MS to differentiate their browser from other free ones.
Firefly Energy is building foam-core lead-acid batteries that claims to have energy densities as high as current generation NiMH batteries at much less weight and at 1/10th the cost.

You might consider linking back to the Part 1 of the series, especially since it's rolled off the history page and is now a feckin' week old.

No kidding. Terribly written with bad grammar and weak punctuation, a simply uninteresting non-review of a book that could have been worthwhile. Pity.
