This is the very model of a modern pirate metaphor.
We're needed as our leadership is clearly challenged heretofore.
They call it theft for reasons that are clearly quite subliminal.
In order to support a model that is quite primordial.
Infringement is a civil matter, extortion is quite criminal.
But legislation's killing our new highway that is digital.
And so we need a party that will argue antithetical.
In order to preserve our freedoms are indispensable.
UCLA had been using "Video Furnace" to provide video content in the context of courses (integrated with UCLA Moodle as well), and has recently suspended this based on a challenge from AIME. The article gives a little more background.
IANAL but I am a Graduate student at UCLA and anytime a company wants "protection" money for something my PUBLIC University already paid for AND am using under fair-use laws, I scream Soprano.
Paying for protection?? Isn't that mob turf?
Oh well..
I held in and was probably the one you heard, "maybe tomorrow will be better." Nope.
The words "sell out" came to mind. Remember the early burning-man days? Defcon was once a group that met for a "love of the craft" that has become a certification desktoper recruitment fest.
Sad really, maybe time to let this one go the way of E3 no?
Having both Sharepoint (Microsoft) and MediaWiki (Confluence) I can reliably say that you're both correct (Google and Microsoft). What is interesting in Wave is the use of open protocols, code, and the convergence of Wiki, Jabber, and Collaborative Team applications that make big organizations use Sharepoint.
I rarely reply here however the original poster is asking for advice and you really SHOULD NOT give him this cheerleading marketing crap. The odds are stacked against startups: They suffer a disproportionate failure rate and are a horrible suggestion for those making a practical carrer shift. (Like public to private sector.) In America.it may come as a surprise to you that four out of five businesses fail within the first five years when you include sole propietorships.
Do some homework before you hand out bad slashdot advice mr. wizard.
Wow dude, you just killed your own argument and reinforced those arguing against you. "The whole point of this is freedom." Indeed, the freedom to NOT use Microsoft's bug-ridden nastiness of an operating system. There are many of us fighting to make this so. One of our biggest obstacles are hypocrites like you that think the Microsoft status quo is just fine and that freedom of choice is nothing but a conversation topic. Sigh.
Nice of you to assume i am selfish and shallow. No I do not take freedom for granted - however, since I have it - I do not need to dream about it. I have decided to move on with my life and experience its full pleasures.
Step off your perceived, exalted soap-box and stop trying to prove how correct you are with your perceived sense of loss of freedom. If you do not like Bill Gates or Windows - you *have* the *free choice* of NOT using a Bill Gates product. So utilize it.

"From within the system, I can't help but be of the opinion that the foundations are cracking. There's simply a lack of MOTIVATION to accomplish anything meaningful, and our culture only worsens the situation."
I've spent a LOT of time with students at UCLA over the last 10 years and I couldn't agree more. The culture has indeed changed over that decade and I can see the rift between those who believe in working hard for excellence itself and those who are movtivated by the almighty dollar alone.
"Copyrights are a very good thing, if used correctly."
Ok Mr. Uninformed here's just one hint from here in the USA;
"For example, bars and restaurants that measure no more than 3,750 square
feet (not including the parking lot, as long as the parking lot is used
exclusively for parking purposes) can contain no more than four TVs (of no
more than 55 inches diagonally) for their patrons to watch, as long as
there is only one TV per room. The radio can be played through no more
than six loudspeakers, with a limit of four per room, unless the
restaurant in question is run by "a governmental body or a nonprofit
agricultural or horticultural organization, in the course of an annual
agricultural or horticultural fair or exhibition conducted by such body or
organization." Then it's OK to use more speakers."
The current copyright system is, as you refered to "intellectual property" a "DISASTER".

Essentially the programmer went "rogue" once he was let go, we are currently talking to our lawyers to try and settle it without a lot of
pain, but there is nothing legal about anything being sold on that site.

Remember, in the early 1980s, the movie industry fought a fierce legal battle to block the sale of video-cassette recorders, claiming they would promote piracy. Finally, in 1984, the US Supreme Court denied that claim, ensuring the sales of
recorded movies, a business that now generates far more revenues for the entertainment industry than theatrical distribution.

This is so wrong I just have to chime in.
First, a technical manager without technical experience is worthless.
Second, managers with no industry knowledge other than first year MBA knowledge, (your quote), are worthless.
Third, anyone who does NOT understand that handling both people AND systems requires insight into both is not woth your time.
