    Why should web sites be any different.

    Where is the "a-point truths" of a web site when there is the bigger picture of wide scope honesty to constantly watch for?

    ...support open source development is that of helping to advance the technology of the human race and benefits of in all the ways it can.
    And at the rate that open source can do above and beyond the false constraints of proprietary software.

    See more info

    The above contents at url has broken links and some outdated info but the general scope is still valid.
    The paper only report "hirts_report1.0.pdf" address the failure, of autocoding to identify incompatibility inspired by closed source profit motives. Software packages are difficult to get to work together because of it.

    To put it simply: proprietary software development has such incentives and financial motives to intentionally make incompatible (with other softwares) and overly constraining (use constraints) to inherently limit advancement in exchange for direct financial profit, Whereas the open source development direction is such that the benefits and profits to be had is achieved and what teh tool of software can help produce. Teh better the software the better the products that software is used to produce.

  16. Terms of employment on Can I Be Fired For Refusing To File a Patent? · · Score: 1

    What you need to do is look at the terms of employment under which you were employed.
    If there is anything in it that specifically gives them the right to patent your stuff, then you should have considered it when you signed it.

    Otherwise, and I'd imagine you read the employment agreement before signing it, they are going into territory that was not specifically covered in the employment agreement and as such you are now open to re-negotiations and a changing or extending the terms of employment to cover your stand. Anything prior to this .... well they would be in the wrong if they tried to make retroactive some change in the terms to support patenting of software, which were not there before. Just don't work in the country of Texas where they make up the law as they go along,

    Software Patents are provably acts of fraud and are and will continue to diminish in standing. This can reflect upon not only the company but you as well, as your name would either be on the patent (in the event the PTO grants it a patent), or it would be in you full right to invalidate the patent by showing the person taking the credit is not the genuine creator of the software.

    You should probably be looking for work elsewhere to cover your bases.

  18. The solution is simple... on The Effects of Exporting Used PCs To Africa · · Score: 1

    Stop this practice.

    The cost involved in gathering up and getting the computers there could be better spent elsewhere.

    The mining value in used computers for materials is greater per pound than is found in mining for the original material used to build such computers.

    Perhaps there is an industry to be had in extracting these values from junk. I'm sure there are such companies existing in the US.

    But I suspect it is just easier for teh lazy minded to just complain about a handout then it is to make use of what you have.

    And how many good computers are discarded from teh handout due to a lack of knowledge about the technology?

    Maybe they should try Ubuntu or Knoppix or some such OS that would help them get more up and running?
