Where is the downside in giving WIPO some well thought out feedback? I would like to take the extremists on both side of this issue and POUND THIS SHIT OUT OF THEM. Good feedback may not change their minds, but it might make them look foolish.
Of course I know all of you are so busy doing spectacular things in life that you would NEVER waste your time posting inanities to forums/boards.
I don't see anything in Palladium that will benefit me that I can't already implement via software. I will not buy a non-general purpose computer for what I use a pc for today and Palladium is certainly not general purpose. Imagine if they actually force the running of signed code to always be enabled. I couldn't even do development on such a machine.
And how will Palladium protect one from Windows crashes?
Perens calls open source "a crown jewel of capitalism." That may be true, but open source is a crown jewel of freedom. And freedom is the bottom line here. Make no mistake about that.
I wonder if anyone will mailbomb him using his mail server? I think that would be delicious irony to fill up his mailbox several times a day with junk. Just a thought.
I like my management, but don't like the project.

The project is long term and is business stuff and basically putting a new front end on a legacy system. The technology is interesting (Java, servlets, jdbc. database access), but the problem domain is boring to the tenth power.
I have run a mailing list for a number of years on my local ISP. Twice, my ISP has invoked the services of a SPAM blacklister. First Orbis and now SpamCop. Both times, it has shut out subscribers to my list as they were on blacklisted isps. I hate spam as much as anyone, but using the shotgun approach to punish all when only a few are guilty, is fundamentally wrong.
Over 30 years in fact. Back in the dark ages, I was addicted to the mechnaical pinball machines. A virtual "pinball" machine will never cut it as far as I am concerned. Doesn't have the feel of a real pinball machine. I do hope lots of folks keep the real thing alive.
Yes! Stallman thinks software is an inalienable right. I don't think so. In fact I know that is not true.
Support those who create value for you. To hell with the rest.
And as far as most of the posts on this thtread go, it demonstrates that most slashdotters have an intelligence less than that of my toilet. Bring up a serious topic and/. gets all the monkeys randomly typing at their keyboards. And the serious folk that DO post get slammed.

I get to be a young sorceress named Violet? If I am going to do the transgendered thing, I want to be a real hottie.
I am sure one of the NSA's whoppers is thrashing away on this thread as we speak and write.
I bet that 5 years from now, the liquidator will still have every one of them unless they start selling them in quantities of 10 or so.
Tepid fusion.
Delicious irony, but don't ask me to explain why.

Oh ducky. Another dimension to exploit and constantly patch.
Now I can see the back of my email messages!
But I will have to mortgage my house to do so.
I want to know who in the hell allowed the French to have computers.
I enjoyed programming in Lisp, but it fell out of favor. Now I have to use Javasp.
She would tell me never to discuss religion, politics, or operating systems in mixed company.
I have used them all and stick with Windows at home because I know how to keep it clean and stable.
I have been running Windows 2000 since late 2000 and never reloaded the OS and keep it clean as can be.
Use what you like and then go out and play in the great outdoors.
What are these "cell phones" you speak of?
At one time, I though object oriented databases were going to be the next big thing.
I can't even remember what I had for lunch.
Of course that was about 10 beers ago.

The 9th Circuit is the most liberal and the most overturned appeals court in the country.
"Give us a half-million or we WILL audit you."
If the IRS said that to an organization, there would be a real stink.
M$ may have legalities on their side, but it sure makes for bad press. Of course they don't appear to give a damn about bad press.
I am sure that someone else has said it, but restrictions built into hardware may make the "general purpose computer" a thing of the pase.

The Internet is getting curiouser and curiouser.
