what was that about plastic bad for the environment? and how come I actually see more and more plastic being used?
maybe improvements in the way electronics, such as computers are designed and used is in order. Rather than building in obselesence (sp?)....... modularity in hardware is in order.
It's really not about legal or illegal, which are human made laws or agreements.
What the GPL does, in essence, is to remove human fabricated constraints on our human ability to improve upon what we humans have done.
Another word for this is "advancement"
In opposition of this, it has been expressed that Microsofts anti-competitive monopolistic practices are not only illegal but innovation or advancement suppressive.
Where is the ecology of economy if you do not consider the ability of the whole to move forward? And where might such an blindnesss lead?
Trillion dollar bet that failed to consider south asia including the mostly muslin populated Indonesia. A very large factor in the motivation of the so called 9/11 terrorist (or at least a very good excuse)
So how is the world economic ecology doing Mr. Gates? Got any more laws you want to make up, contrary to our natural human ability to improve what we have? (i.e. anti-gpl junk)
666... yeah, that's right, it's not he machines top be concerned about, it's the human beasts to watch out for. From the programmers to the cops to the potential muggers and victims...
The machines are just a good excuse and distraction for that beasty point, via reflection.
On one hand there is the tech industry making jokes about how stupid users are and on the other hand you have this, proving that the tech industry is often full of themselves.
Computers don't need to be made difficult to make use of, but the tech industry needs them to be more complicated than what is needed to get the job done.
How else can those in the tech industry make themselves feel.....impotent...
Before moding this down, consider your gandmother usings Windows.....for the first time.
Though I never got into the Napster thing others I worked with did and they put together some CD's that I really liked as they contained alot of old songs that I liked.
Listening to these CDs at work, where they would play them, brought to mind these old songs and even the idea of going out and buying the artist CDs. But then all the crap started up and I said the hell with it, never buying any of the CDs that the napster stuff brought to mind.
Now it's a matter of out sight (ear) out of mind. To bad for the music business... uh errr...greed business...
Wener Bros. is cracking down on Matrix fan sites now....
All this reminds me of the story of the dog who lost the steak in his mouth when he saw his reflection and his greed tried to get the steak from his own reflection and lost what he had...
I'm not at all supprised about the findings of this author, cept for finding some "creator" realizing all this.
The act of programming is to take something complex, though made up of simplers things and to automate it's use, so as to take the task of creating the complexity away in order to move forward sooner. As has been the way of human advancement since forever!
It seems clear that Computer Science has gotten entrapped in itself for the sake of itself and the sacrifice of advancing technology.
Do you really need to teach students how to re-invent or would it be better to teach students how to advance by putting things others have done together in order to advance?
Perhaps the focus should be on identifying the action constants of Virtual Interaction so as to be better skilled at building new and advanced things like autocoding.
The ability to automate complexity in order to make it simple to use over and over is the task of programming but the task of automating that process has been lacking.
It's not that we don't know what the collection of functionality needed is to make this possible on a broad scale, from typicaly users to hard core autocoders...
This is a field really open for fresh blood as the old blood has to much vested interest in the way things are done and also to set in their ways.
Where autocoding can be found in industry is in areospace. Funny but you'd think it would be more kitchen table and evolve from there. Perhaps that suggest it's time to bring it to the kitchen table.
It's not that kitchen table scientist have slowed, but more a matter of what to explore and experiment with next, as it's clear alot has already been done to the point of cheap throwaway stuff what what we have had on the kitchen table in the not so distant past.
We just need new subject matter to deal with. Autocoding and user level automation is ready.
Radioshack.com is closing out and there are some good deals as the discounts go as high as %80.
I picked up two mini echo mixer kits for I think $8.00 each. The cool thing about it is that the Kits include two chips that are no longer being manufactured and as such to buy one of these chip, if you can find them will set you back $25.00
I'll be modifying them to give me more effect than echo, like flanging and chorus.
I also picked up a portable CD amp kit for really cheap.
What am I gonna be using this stuff for?
I made my own electric violin and Am making the case and electronic too.
It looks really good and sounds good too. Now all I got to do is learn to play it.
In this case is not for Government Big Borther but GNU..... the software that cannot be easily pirated or wrongly distributed without those involved in producing it noticing and causing action to be taken by the whole.
There is the third UI that is hardly standard and user frendly or accessible. The side door port to controlling an application external from it's UI.
With the three you can begin to create automations regardless of what level of computer use you are at.
It's like having the three primary color of the rainbow and with them being allowed to create any color of the rainbow, but take away one and you are greatly constrained.
User Interfaces are like that, we generally only have two available, if even that, on the windows box but even Linux has a hard time providing a standard 3rd UI to applications, devices and libraries.
Watch out, wait to long and MS will figure this out and get the jump on it. That would be a shame.
Want to convert MS user to Linux? Then give them highly productive tools they cannot find on their windows boxes. And that would include general automation tools friendly enough for anyone to use.
For such a big public case you'd think the settlement with the Federal Government would be common knowledge by now. But for someone who has somewhat followed the case......Well what was the settlement?
Also if MS is lying in a courtroom about the ability to make their products modular (it's all about bit flipping and should be obvious to even the courtroom layman that with bit flipping you can do anything and certainly someone in the computer industry should know this second nature)...
Doesn't this mean MS is commiting purgery?
Isn't this an indicatation that MS has no respect for the court system?
Doesn't this say that what ever comes out of MS's mouth is always going to be a matter of convience (strickly to their benefit and unfair to others)?

Once upon a time it was the Video toaster, now who says it can't be used for skin.... uh err home security?
DMCA? Naw, they just want to see what you do in the privacy of your home....as has been found out about what's popular with the anti crime cameras in London.
Or maybe I'm all mixed up. Is the device/program only usable for broadcasted channels?
Competition is one of the keys to innovation and as such IP laws that restrict such competition to long timelines will have to compete with licenses that don't.
Ever hear of GNU?
How about Lawrence Lessigs efforts to make a variety of such Licenses available for free use? Of which I suspect they can be modified for any type of IP, even non-computer related...
Point being, although there may be these really stupid "Cannot" based laws who's time lines continue to get extended in what amounts to infinity, there is the law of license that can over rule.
I mean if you can sign away your (US citizen constitutional rights) right to free speech in such things as NDAs then the ability to create licenses that get around the problems created by law makers who have lost touch with the original intent of the creation of IP laws....so as to more so or better fit the originators..
The IP laws should be "Can" Based. That's where Licenses like GPL come in. (exception in GPL is that you cannot take without giving back - and that is the exception to prove the rule valid. For it is so bad to say you cannot be unfair?)
Perhaps it's time more people start realizing there is a choice with which laws they want to be influenced by. By supporting their choice openly.
All that is really happening is MS is creating and changing the rules as they go along, with their product. and doing so in order to serve them and only them.
It's not like there isn't other options and possibilities.
Free software (as defined by FSF) can beat anything MS does in constraint, by simply doing it better witout such false constraints.
If anything this should be inspiration to do better with Free Software, where there is no inherent motive to create such false (not constrained by natural physical law) constraints. As such the Free Software will be more powerful and productive.

Funny how it doesn't include the wanting of war.

It's clear to me that he is lying his ass off, but there is still a message that is MS biased.
So what is Bill really saying?
I refuse any government imposing upon me technology from a company that has been found guilty of federal crime.
I suggest a common wealth approach is the correct method by which to do what is wanted.
Hmmm, common wealth and National ID not only is right but sounds right too.

That should get you there, now.

Can't even find the audio cables I need and when I patchwork what they have together.... it don't work due to shoddy manufacturing.

Now isn't that all anyone really needs to know about MS?
Along with the question "Do you think Lying is OK?"
Seems to me that the message is more like "*inx flavors aren't the future due to it's lack of leadership."
The sort of thing that is an indirect attack on GNU/GPL commons, which is both a flavor of Unix and by nature
having an absence of overall leadership.
And thgis isn't the first time I've seen such faulty insinuations being made towards GNU/GPL.
Really! What are they hiding?
Seriously I do not know what the problem is.
Simply do not use the product.
All that is really happening is MS is creating
and changing the rules as they go along, with
their product. and doing so in order to serve
them and only them.
