Perhaps I'm just not taking the article literally enough, but haven't we been in the "air age" for the last twenty years or so? Sure, we can't pull a helicopter out of our garage and fly it directly to a friends house two towns over, but how many predictions are spot on?
How many towns don't have a private airfield these days? How many people can't fly (yes fly, not be an airline passenger) if they're just willing to spend some time and money learning?
I never got quite to the soloing point myself as far as a private pilot's license, but I could have completed it and could have then flew myself anywhere I liked whenever I liked -- one of the interesting things about learning to fly is that you have to learn where you cannot fly, not where you can.
Anonymous Cowards suck. This is not just my opnion, it is my idea. Therefore, unless someone can show previous art, I declare it as my intellectual property.
No one shall be allowed to re-distribute or reveal my IP unless prior written consent is obtained from me because not to do so would be IP theft; and I only have so much "Anonymous Cowards suck" to go around..... Oh, wait, I'm just being silly now, aren't I?
To say that an idea, be it a process or a creative work or anything else, is in any way similar to physical property is just silly. You can't deplete an idea or prevent access to other people by using it.
We provide IP laws for one reason and one reason only, to encourage people to research new ideas and make them available to the public by providing a way to ensure that they are compensated for it.
How is describing how something works IP theft? How is describing how something doesn't work IP theft? The only legimitate claim for IP theft in my mind is if someone uses the idea in some product without licensing it.
While Ender's Game is one of the best SF books I've read so far; Songmaster is my hands-down favorite Card book and perhaps my favorite SF book period. So let's not forget that one.
On Zope's website (www.zope.org) they have a selection of third party modules, one of which is designed to import existing HTML tree's into Zope. I haven't tried it but it may be what you're looking for regarding the back issues.
I don't have a clue how well Zope handles large loads but as far as functionality goes, anything you can do with Python you can do with Zope.
