I have tried to explain to two different people, and in my blog of which a seven or eight people read about the IP wars and the Intellectual Venture startup the Microsoft Employee is starting up...
They don't care, not take the time to understand, that IP is leading to a top-heavy innovation industry where the megacorps have the patents and the startups are unable to innovatively join a market due the massive number of patents that they would infringe on(any sizeable or useful product infringes in some way on a patent, which is precisely the problem)...
So with a top heavy industry of new thought, the new guys can't join the market, meaning that their isn't a free market, it is literally an oligarchy as bad as OPEC that will lead to slow or no innovation for the United States... Washing away our entire Technological edge while other non-IP riddled nations like India, China, or the EU are able to innovate.
Hell, put it simply, IP and Software Patents by their nature (due to lack of provisions and low standard of accept) break the free market... If this shit happens, it will slowly take its effect on society in small and big ways over time... So, to relate it to the poltical assholes that thing this is a GOOD idea: the childred, won't SOMEBODY thing of the children(and their crippled nation you jackasses are creating for them)?
I don't think it will kill Sun. It couldn't. Sun has too many long-term clients, some might migrate, but not many. Why fix it if it isn't broken?
Sun would be hurt, for sure, but they wouldn't be destroyed. Government contracts that weren't A1-only would still be fair game for Sun, etc.
Your idea of a secure super computer on the net... I don't know if an A1-rated cluster could do that(i don't doubt it, i just don't know if it could), but it would be damn cool to try.
Imagine having the soldiers on the ground and their next-gen suits that have a PAN(personal area network) that runs a hardened linux. THAT would make me happy. Being able to link that up to a hardened Linux command center for relaying and whatnot. Military money well spent.
Agreed. I think the respect of not only controlling (it is a hardware/software combo, so if IBM did it, the rating could only be done by IBM), the highest rated security OS in the market is huge, but it gets you loyalty and respect from the developers and users of Linux... meaning more likely to buy a *ibm* linux workstation than a non-ibm workstation, etc.
Basicly, I am saying that it gives IBM an IBM-only tagline they get to market the hell out of for the corporate and government world, but the using Linux to do it will get them a lot of support and mindshare in the private/personal market.
Well, you beat Sun to the market for top-level security because they are using Solaris for all their highend machines.
It opens doors to new government contracts, which means more hardware sales for IBM.
It would give them the selling point in the industry to take notice, for a big step in the 'linux is good enough for X' medium businesses.
With that level of certification, and hopefully a/some administrative configuration package to maintain and set it up reasonably(geenral purpose linux config/maintenance program), IBM could fully migrate off it's old OSes. Linux does, or is near, support on all the platforms IBM supports, save a few mainframes possibly. Being able to get Linux reviewed for that level of code means that it is superior, and thus replaceable, to AIX and the os/###'s of the world.
It is vindication and approval from the industry. THAT is priceless.
Why not something like paying the government politicos a 'living wage' or the mean national wage. The President is(traditionaly) rich or at the least well off, besides which his entire term as president is payed for... No air fare for Bush, he has his own plane! Shouldn't the prestige, and free life for 4 years be enough, why should he get 200k+ a year as well..
Not to mention his 10s of thousands dollar checks he gets for speeches post-presidency.
The concept of democracy and debate is largely a joke when all three branches of the government are the same party. It is like the communist party in a communist country.
Yes, they are a 'party' like any other, but when they are in power, ONLY they are in power.
OK, this is enough unintentional trolling. The true nature of the constitution, the patent system, copyrights, power to the states unless specifically given to the federal government.. All of it is has been lost from the big picture of today's politics.
That sounds like the best p2p network. The app would act as a nat/translator to an ipv6 network ontop of the (mostly) ipv4-based internet... Then arbitratily change and reassign multiple ipv6 addresses and MAC address, along with the ipsec mandatory of v6, over lets say ssl...
I would say that is 'good enough' encryption and protection for most file swappers... it isn't freenet-caliber, but then, it doesn't need to be.
"During that time, everyone with a spare nickel and a desire to publish something put out their own rag. They would trade stories, publish letters to each other, have flame wars, etc. I think it must have looked a lot like the blogosphere, with a bit more latency."
What an interesting example of history repeating itself. Here we have a 19th century implementation of Usenet. With the LoC(Library of Congress, that is) and the Gutenberg Project(which has a sizeable but not LoC-sized collection already), we will finally have a digital free library of public domain works.
Seriously, for you up-n-comers trying to thing of the next big revolution in the industry: take a history class.
Mp3's being the modern equivalent of phonographs and cylinder players(a cheap, easy way to hear music when you don't have a concert hall and orchestra on hand).
Newspaper explosion of the 1800s being the usenet of today.
History repeats itself, over and over. Thanks for your post, that is a very interesting parallel.
Could we PLEASE, PLEASE have ubutu, redhat, fedora and gentoo back this up... Even with changes, a unified standard(the LSB, which this is an implementation of) needs to get backed and supported...
The more LSB compliant linux is, the more consistant and usable it becomes as a whole.
PRETTY PLEASE.

Netscape Reborn?

· Score: 1
If they did a find/replace for "Mozilla Firefox" and replaced it with "Netscape" I would be happy to hear this.
This won't happen. AOL adds a significant ammount of dung wrapped in 'bonus features' (desktop icons for shit I DO NOT WANT, along with favorites and such) that just piss people off.
WASTE, FREENET and MUTE... The 3rd generation peer-to-peer clients... Distributed, anonymous, secure file sharing.
FYI. Kazaa and Gnuetelaa are '2nd gen' p2p apps. They are distributed, but not secure. Naspter was a 1st gen, it was centralized p2p(search was based off of a napster server) and not at all secure.
Freenet isn't quite ready for kazaa-style use. It has issues with reliability, inerstion(you don't share, you 'insert', which makes the situation more difficult) and retrieval...
I have said it before and I will say it again. If Freenet would add an option to 'host' (share) files without locally even while losing a significant ammount of anonymity(the routing still hides you, but not to the extent of a suppresed chinese christian would want) things would go SO much easier.
I have a gig+ of software I want to share... Plus things like isos and would-be bittorrents. If I could seed/host those on freenet, instead of having to 'insert' them(the downloading would distribute them akin to insertion anyway, just not initially) that would make kazaa-style use more more doable.
This way, I can gauratee availability of a file, while freenet drops files after certain ammount of unuse.
Ballots that were all-democrat were mistakenly tallied for the libertarian party. Fixing this error gave the Democratic candidate enough votes to win the county office over the republican candidate.
The article's author knows an error in a particular wikipedia article. Writes about how it, and eludes there clearly is a potential for more inconsistency. However, he is polite enough to also submit his particular issue to Wikipedia.
He happened to know of one error. He fixed it. His artcile, however, is that there is a clear possibility of more errors and thus, it cannot be trusted at the same level as a 'professional' encyclopedia.
The market does not exist, it should not exist, to serve a corporation. All aspects of the American society should be designed to serve the American people.
Designing laws and hurdles that stop revolutionaries from entering a new market hinders competition, hinders the free market and strengthens the old-blood corporations.
So if redhat did come along and release(d) a product that would blow Microsoft( Windows) out of the water. What does it matter? Microsoft is in a free market that relies on supply and demand. If redhat builds a better mousetrap and can supply it to the demand of the populace you better be damn sure Microsoft will be upgrading their own mousetrap, and matching the price of redhat's... Wait, you mean, like, lower price and higher quality getting passed to the american people?
A corporation is not something that should be protected from competition, they should be subject to it. That is the game they play, if they lose or win, I have no love loss and neither should the American people or the government. An even playing field for competition is all I care about. Anything more is anti-competitive and should be forcibly removed from the books.
This, I swear to god as my witness, will be the downfall of society. An economy that hinders new ideas at the expense of old ones getting overtaken by foreign markets that do not make the same mistakes.
IM, to me, is a one-on-one connection with another person on the net. I think that IM, or what IM should become, is a more boundless way for me and person X to share.
It started as text sentences, but it shouldn't be limited to that. Audio, video, files, white boards, co-op file editting collaberation, call it a peer net, call it p2p, I don't care, i want Person A and Person B to be able to send that person a file, without it being an email attachment, just a file. I want to be able to connect to that other user, not just type at them. I want to have the options to shape how I converse, wether I use them 100% of the time with 100% of my friends or not. I want flexability.

Mandatory open source code all of the software that runs the machines.
Peer reviewed by the NSA, DHS, various college institutions, even the public.

But it makes "Library of Congresses per second" measurement extremely accurate.
Besides, who said a harddrive array can't burn? It just take more work than paper.
