That's what 44billion dollar tit-for-tat trading is doing - nothing...
From what has happened, it looks like M$ is really trying to get the next generation of users......(1) I think that's great if they want eyeballs. We have the facebook crowd. Of which I am a user.....(2) Google offers great services - the apps for your domain means I can work from anywhere............(3)
I check facebook once a week/fortnight depends if there's been a party or photos to put up etc....(from 2) I work for myself these days (from 3), so don't choose to waste time doing (2). If M$ aims for the 'next-generation-of-user'(from 1), they'll get the 25 group. Problem is, with great services from google and facebook, each in their own good times of day/week, the users from (1) above, will have less and less time to actually poke each other and get on with real work.
So, whilst it may be cool to own a zune now, or run anti-virus software - in 5 years time, the (1) crowd won't have as much time as now to (2), and will be more interested in just running their own show (3).
Unless they are women - they can do many more things at a time than us men can. They know what they're doing on the weekend on any given Tuesday (which would constitute good use of (3) or (2))...
Does Yahoo! or MSN offer an apps-for-your-domain equivalent?
I think the part of the "get it" that you're missing is the micro-payments service i've received email about from amazon developer news. Haven't looked at it seriously ever (which is 6 months) but this is where to look;)
Basically, there are 8 degrees of freedom from 240 or something like nodes shooting out of it. 8 is damn close to inifinte if you turn it on it's side (say 90 degrees). ---missing link --- So, a 90 degree angle is very important when doing geometry with parallel lines. ---insert missing link-- "Parallel lines never meet, except for in the future"
As an contributor to OSS and about to release a project, the GPL is there to be used how it states - any OSS license states what can and can't be done.
All profits from this product could be re-invested to projects or project maintainers to create better OSS products and services in a closely related area.
They pay a penalty now, but can redeem themselves by building a partner network.
Someone needs to write up a website with what you can and can't do (in plain english - with case studies) with various free software:
Mozilla Public License - commercial open source Common Public License - commercial open source FreeBSD - academic roots Apache License - academic roots (L)GPL - freedom roots
(1)From what I understand, GPLv3 is compatible with Apache for the first time. Does this mean if you license your project v3, you can use apache code within your license and relicense it?
(2)If you contribute to mozilla licensed code or freebsd licensed code, do you understand that your code can be used in a proprietary commercial product?
(3)Can you distribute a proprietary java app with mysql connector jar (open source) connecting to mysql, and charge money for the java app and maintenance on the jar and mysql as a service?
These are all gray-ish areas that I think I know the answer to, but IANAL.
This sounds good. Up until this post of yours, I was thinking "what-the-hell-for". I think I know where you're heading with this, so big props to ya.
To all those apposed, you're near-sighted fucks. I was one fifteen minutes ago. To go to the lengths of making contributing to mono, I reckon you'd need to know a helluva lot.
Back in the day, the MS founders had to win at all costs because they had small penises. from then on, that's how it's gone....they've probably also held onto the monopoly cos they were premature ejaculators.
By allowing a patent like this to exist, and with _all_ the prior art that exists, and the wording of the patent (a method, rather than all method), and possibly more reasons - it is an example of how the patent system should not apply to technology as it does.
It seems that patents were all well and good 50 years ago when everything (physical) was manufactured.
From what I remember of playing freeciv, it goes to show that the "technology" of a patenting system has been "obsoleted" by free software and communications infrastructure.
Maybe we should start "researching" a new form of currency which is based wholy and solely on what something costs to maintain it and R&D it and not whore (advertise/market) it to buggery.
This post made me actually check who the submitter was - usually I'll read a few comments and get the gist - however that is rather sheepish. And now I'm thinking how this friend/foe stuff works on/. - I think it could do with a bit of a re-write. If a PR company is going to post something and waste all of our time to feed the machine and get stats, the submission process should take into consideration past sumbissions, simple poll from comment writers along with comment (did you visit the submitter's site, do you believe they are un-biase etc) - something to that nature. So when I story hits the front page, there's that karmic sort of thing.
After all these years, I've never really taken note of the "slashdot system" - perhaps it never needed taking note of because it was good. Or maybe it's the editors trying to do too much - are they even paid? Do your job!
I just ordered a gp2x from japan (i think;) - here's the page from wikipedia
I'm looking to use it as a gaming console (but I don't play games at all:P )

Any other mischief
I have not bought a toy/gadget/peripheral for nearly 6 years other than a laptop, which is really a work item, so i'm looking so geekfully forward to it!
Hmmmm....what you have in most projects are: * Brilliant Talent. The same brilliant talent may be completely disorganised and hence requires a helping hand. Sometimes great thinkers and sometimes great ideas. * Supporters. Early adopters, like-minded individuals. * Acumen - Usually in business. Hole plugging, streamlining, organisational and communication skills.
Even the "OSS Community" is fickle. Sometimes it is just stubborn and sometimes it is the old-dog that won't learn the new trick. You get out of it what you put in.
Arguments (Debates) are good - flaming though....welllll, sometimes someone needs a good slap sometimes.
Nice reply. I was just checkign my preferences and saw i had a reply to my post.
I never really considered that News Corp would then be a part of the RIAA if that's the way news corp is heading. Kind of interesting considering News wouldn't wanna rock the boat between other heavyweights. The entity (be it corporation, man, family) is very influential.
You bring up a very good point. The democratic process was "invented" before soul-less and perpetual entities like corporations existed. Whether you are aware or not, Syndicalism is something that could/should/would make things a little fairer if they could be worked into the current "democratic" process.
Perhaps something like a 2nd vote. One for your moral values and one for your social values (through your work). Of course this would give more power to the people. Something to do with balance yada yada...
This is akin to anarchy. News Corp has just bought myspace for 500mil. Received advertising and searching money from google for 900mil. Profit, great. News Corp is doing what the people want, but in a completely unethical and irresponsible manner. A reason could be that the RIAA will go after News Corp for lost income due to fraudulent behaviour by users. People want the latest Popular Music, they find a profile on myspace and all of a sudden, a flood of downloads. RIAA takes myspace to court myspace gets changed again because of court ruling. News Corp doesn't give two shits about what happens because they're 400million ahead. Take out some court costs and a couple of hundred million dollars in damages which the pop.artists won't see any % of, and we're back to being suckers. I have an answer though - give me another 12 months or so
Sure it's saturday night - need a day off, clearly...
In layman's terms, WTF does this mean - seriously. Is it going to be available en masse and change the way I work from month-to-month project by project? There doesn't appear to be much information. In Australia I want really good wireless access from 'reasonable' areas of work and on the move. From the beach to the city and out to the suburbs. - when passign through the city, will the buildings and more importantly the tunnels affect my link. At what cost will this be available, and how is this gonna affect 3G/VoIP/ISP businesses.

Amazon Flexible Payment System
I think the part of the "get it" that you're missing is the micro-payments service i've received email about from amazon developer news. Haven't looked at it seriously ever (which is 6 months) but this is where to look ;)
As a species maybe we're not ready for digital.
Vinyl is better.
Tube amps are better.
Television was better.
someone find a tutorial for this dude,
then we can speculate in a month's time.
Maybe more "access" to the program is the solution idiots.
Your post looked like a good one to reply to.

Great post, telling it how it is :)
Dude,
You're so correct. There are a lot of near-sighted trolls in this universe. Miguel is doing something great for software developers everywhere.
In 5 years time, what is going to happen?
Having read just about all of miguel's earlier posts, I'm hopeful some people will see the light.
Miguel,

Respect
this shouldn't be news because they've conceivably been able to do this forever, but finally people (even b_eu_rocrats) are using their head.
And yes, the subject is just an attention getter
