  5. Putting your trash out on Archiving Web Pages - Legal or Illegal? · · Score: 0

    I would argue that this is like putting your trash out on the curb. There is no expectation of privacy See This. When something is posted to the InterWeb it becomes part of the public domain, and even if you copyright it, yes those words and images and layout still belong to you, as does your trash sitting on your properity, but there is no legal recourse preventing someone from looking at it, taking photos of it or even taking it home.

  15. Monopoly on Delivering an Earth-Shattering Discovery? · · Score: 1

    Let it leak to the few who have all the power that it is a new, more powerful, killer operating system that will obsolete Windows and Office at the same time, that you intend it to be GPLed and are in beta testing right now (whatever the discovery is, it doesn't really matter).
    Then Microsoft will call the President and he will personally direct the various three letter government agencies that take care of those things to, well, take care of those things.
    Then when Microsoft's political and legal pressure has subsided (+/- 5 years) the world will be ready for the REAL discovery, and already have a crappy facimile in their house !

    I goin' 100% Slack on Thursday and nothing will stop me. I believe that I can still do my work on Linux, though I can't play CS (perhaps a little partition for CS -- ??). Anyhoo, I'll see you all on the other side.

  21. Design Metrics on Making Software Suck Less · · Score: 1

    Having just written a paper about the future of Open Source Development as an enterprise solution I want to point out what I think is the major problem in OSD. Unlike developemnt in the Microsoft world (...Sun world) OSD lacks a codified base of design metrics akin to COM, DCOM or CORBA. The ANSI ruleset connot be used as a design metric, it was never intended to.
    Until we all can write it all down and get together in agreement on some simple (or not so simple) rules I think we will always get crappy code. The current development of the OSDN is a step in the right direction.
