---- A Few Comments from Panel Members ----
A culture needs to evolve that respect software engineers as crafts-people. Writing code is not just writing code but like the field of writing where you have technical, creative, documentary, etc., there are different types of code writing. (Authors' note: I agree with this but also realize end users are even more specialized in what they need and do. Respect for the end user needs and abilities is needed even more so. Without respect given to the end user, the software engineer will not be given respect in return.)
A fundamental change in the programming environment needs to happen that allows the tools to work together more. (Authors' note: the panel member making this comment, did not specify what tools or who the tools would be used by. It was a very general comment pointing to a fundamental programming environment change. A lead in to the concept of componet programming. But, there was no recognition given to the concept of componet software or componet applications. At least not in the sense of being outside of "plugins". Read on!)
Jokingly - one of the best ways to copy protect software is to put it in a dll, give it an obscure name and put it in the windows system directory. Because you'd never find it. (Authors' note: This does not make it any easier for the end user in keeping their system organized, clean and optimized. This attitude of constraints, though humorous, cost end users alot.)
The meaning of "intellectual property" became questioned. Did it mean you take the best ideas or something owned? (Authors' note: it was the panel supporting "best ideas" but wouldn't the correct term for this use be "intellectual value" rather than "intellectual property"? What would happen, regarding this, in a court room? The audience member whom brought this up, was a bit angry about the distortion. Her question was: Is it the developers whom are creating the problems? And what are the developers going to do about it? The responce was "that's not the problem!")
Users shouldn't develope software but know, better than the developers, what they want and need. (Authors' note: users don't have the time to write code, it's not their job or duties!!! I can cut the lawn, I know h
old business methods not able to keep up with technology, an dthe refusal to change the business methods to work in accord with technology.
Otherwise.... We have the technology to cure cancer and a bunch of other real world problems but politics is keeping alive old business practices instead.
Priority is to support outdated business.... fuck life.
I converted $150 worth of sprint points to travel anytime anywhere value but to collect on it you have to go thru the Valley Travel Group.
Now Its a long wait on teh phone to make a reservation, even for a car rental. But I did that when I was in California visiting so friends.
Ok Got my reservation and after hopping the hotel to LAX the nightmare began. Turned out the car rental was a smal operation that their shuttle was by only by call. No regular shuttle to and from LAX.
When I got to teh rental place, finaly I was not impressed with the office. But they claimed they didn't know me, and knew nothing about sprint travel stuff. They even said they didn't have the minivan this whole thing was about. Got on teh phone to sprint/valley travel again waiting forever. OK so they didn't make any reservation but only called the car rental to see if they had a minivan. Interestingly enough they somehow came up with one but wanted more than the deal I had agreed to...... A Clear Bait and Switch.
So I said NO, take me back to the airport. They Said NO, leaving me stranded. So I called Sprint/Valley Travel back again waiting forever and they said just get what ever I decided to get and send them the receipts..... Duh... Like why wasn't that simple to begin with?
But it doesn't end, When I finally get back to atlanta I misplaced the paperwork I needed for the addrsss and redemption code. finally after several months I found it but not after trying to contact then by phone and email. Email also was such thet it became clear they were injecting problems where ever they could.
Armed with the information I sent the paper work off onlyu to get it back a week later with a not deliverable stamp. Realizing then That I have used the address on the redemption code paper, I then sent it to the address I got in email.
After the first car rental bait and switch problem , I did find a car from Thrifty (not to far a walk from the CON shop) open 24/7... and great service. But I several days later needed another car just for a day (the first car- nobody had minivans at that time - I had for 2 days.)
So I sent both receipts in --- They paid me back for the second car (which I never went thru them for) - but the first car was for 2 day and almost twice as much --- The one I had gone thru them for.... They did not send me a check for that one.
But they did include a questionair regarding service...
I made a long distance call to try and streighten it out and they offered to connect me to a fucking answering machine claiming the person I needed wasn't at their desk. I hung up and called the next day and they connected me to the accounting department....a fucking answering machine.
They are screwing me out of about $70 -- plus and additional $40 remaining of the $150 spring points I had converted to travel anytime anywhere value.
There is no doubt in my mind that they have intentionally made all communications difficult and problematic.
You see, they already got the money from sprint andt he program ends at the end of this year. Where they get to keep what ever is left over.
Business needs to change, to adapt to the benefits of our technology.
Look at it this way:
Technology advancements are supposed to be good for us. They are supposed to make our world better, our quality of life better.
At what point does the old economic systems need to change in order to work in accord to such benefits of technology?
The whole point of money is that of a value exchange system, but what happens when our production of value reaches the ultimate point of being able to supply everyone with the basic needs for near nothing?
Lets say I'm an artist, I produce some work that is popular, I want value I can use to exchange for other things, including investments, etc.. and all of this is a matter of my quality of life and influence on the direction of things (personal power)...
At what point of world quality of life and wealth does money hinder more than help?
We need incentive to keep going, we need to be doing something productive that adds or helps to maintain the wealth we have..instead of becomming fat and lazy..
But its clear that music production is alot less costly then it used to be and distribution can ultimately be practically free. Making it possible to have a higher percentage of return against the investment... which might be less than the old expensive way.
But if cost reduction is spread across all products and services...at some point it can be reduced to near nothing.... leaving only the need for incentive to keep going...
One example of this is the trillion dollar bet where the only way to protect against such misuse or stockmarket card counting, is to make it public where everyone uses it.
Something about making something untrue by making it public knowledge.
If such a algorythim is possible then it can be programmed into a music program to generate intellectual property...So to own all hits before they are.
Maybe we just need plugs in the back of our heads or our wallets...
I'm all for open source, only Gates is at the laffing at me stage which puts him ahead of GNU/Linux, which is ignoring me....Not totally cause there is some attention...maybe enough to know I tried to tell....
There is a difference between being arrogant and just plain lying. MS lies....where does that leave GNU/Linux

Here I am, knowing the wachowskis very probably (I could say I know.. but...) did get inspiration from me and my work online, mostly in usenet. Where I can show a ton more date timed stamped connections than Sophia, based on what has been shown regarding her work..
Anyone can go to the copyright office web site and plug in her copyright numbers and it they will come up, be found. But unlike the patent office, you cannot access the copy online.
Likewise anyone can go to google and search on me and see, for themselves....
There are things in the trilogy which are references to real life event and things.
So many people have stated the wachowskis stole their work.
That is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that they used real life people, events and things for inspiration in creating the semi-fictional work they did. This does not exclude referencing creative works of others, being inspired by such works of others.

Hi! Just came across the following:
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/format/xmlpat en tlicense.asp Office 2003 XML Reference Schema Patent License
Microsoft may have patents and/or patent applications that are necessary for you to license in order to make, sell, or distribute software programs that read or write files that comply with the Microsoft specifications for the Office Schemas.
So usage of MS Word XML files requires a patentlicense.
:
You are not licensed to distribute a Licensed Implementation under license terms and conditions that prohibit the terms and conditions of this license. You are not licensed to sublicense or transfer your rights.
The licence is royalty free, but GPL 7 requires the right to sublicence patent rights to the people who obtain a GPL program from you.
so in other words Microsoft is using patents to prevent GPLed programs from accessing the XML format that MS Word will be using.
This is very good timing, and goes to show how important it is to ensure that the software patent directive has articles that protects interoperativity from consituting patentinfringemet.
Microsoft is doing this in what many know of MSs act of embrase and extend.
Sure MS cannot own Linux, but it can add its functionality to their own and persent a combination that Linux alone cannot present.
What MS is doing with longhorn and pursuing.net patents is most certainly consistant with this.
Consider SCO as an associate with MS, where SCO is exploring the possibilities for MS to use, no matter how insane a possibility might seem doing such is looking for teh boundries of the GPL....in MSs effort to own or control everything.
AROS is free and open source.
Now thats a thought.
Does linux have any such thing or capability there now?
...There is simply more money to extract from stupid dumbass consumers in upgrading many devices rather than just one. But baiting with such plans intended to never be reached leads to better spoon feeding little pieces of convergence hype to the dumbass consumers to get them to feel good about being copper top.
....A weapon of mass destruction.
Now if they can just find the other excuse for mass destruction.
Care to make a trillion dollar wager on whether they will or not?
I was beginning to have DTs.
But now that I got my dose fo SCO I'm ok.
Maybe a little old but hindsight is better sight.
