  19. Audit my computer, up yours see the two fingers. on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times · · Score: 2, Interesting

    EULA or should it be 'EU' End Users.

    2 License Grants
    b. You agree that Macromedia may audit your use of the Software for compliance with these terms at any time

    No i do not agree.

    2 License Grants
    c. Your license rights under this EULA are non-exclusive.

    Importers of copyright products under licence can be vulnerable to unscrupulous competitors who infringe their rights and gamble that, by the time an overseas supplier gets involved, they'll have achieved their goal of market entry.
    This is not really adequate to protect business interests, tradmarks, copyrights, what about are licence lefts? what can we do without restriction.

    The real thing that annoys me is that i helped Macromedia port the flash player to debian, was called project mustang.

  21. IMHO Certifications smell like bad code. on What's the Point of IT Certifications? · · Score: 0

    Don't forget that certifications go stale over time.

    If the recent past is any indicator, Microsoft certified professionals (MCPs) should count on re-qualifying for their credentials on a three-to-four year schedule. Thus, certification costs and effort recur, and must be distributed over three- to four-year calendars.
    Certification pros and cons.

    pros
    * Bolsters enterprisy adoption of product/domain/language.
    * Sometimes helps overlooked concepts

    cons

    * Failure to represent real-world concepts
    * No case study or project, no real free-form responses.
    Certifications = Just shut up, sit on your own with open-source talk please, damn it makes me feel like any free/open source development we/i have done is cheating!!

    There should be and exam to see how long it takes the examinee to add value to an free/open source project and get there name on the authors list.

    Surly that would be of more benift than knowledge by paper that usally runs after 4 years.
