The Artist (ZX Spectrum) Masterfile (ZX Spectrum) Several game designing tools (from text adventure to invaders, passing to pimball machines) Tons of games
Exact dates faded away...
I'm sure that loads of more nice programs could be dig up from the great bin of forgetfulness...;)
I'm also confused... There are countries, where they invent nice things... like a common pearing thrunk... shared by everyone ISP and managed by the cientific/university community...
Where did i heard of such incredible thing?
I think it's something related to that 2 thing that appeared before web2... something called internet2???
I do believe that they would made more money if they had something like a cheap yearly license for out of uk people to be able to see bbc content in it's full...
I believed that US had a law forbidding the use of the governmental emails and the like for personnel things and vice-verse (one with a specific law, the other due to the use of governmental resources for personnel use).
Prolly an issue more related on the convulsed build process and the barrier of entry to start typing a line of code then anything else...
How many projects are there that for instance, appeal to windows developers but that they don't touch because the only coding experience they have is from Windows/Visual Studio and the whole build process is based on Linux/GCC/Java with weird build scripts and the like?
Sort that issue and you will see more developers lurking by...
(expecting people to learn a new programming language to start to develop is ok... expecting them to, on top of that learn a new OS, install a whole machine and learn to use a ton of tools is a bit harder);)
Basically, what you want is to keep track of information. The fact that is in a digital document in office or a sheet of paper is irrelevant.
Printed papers are both easier and harder to control. First they are easier to track down and count. But in the end, if they are on the loose, the probabilities of finding the source of the leak is very, very thin (the only way is to use some sort of security paper).
In a digital document, if the leak is the document itself, verbatim, then, if tight DRM controls are in place, you will find where the leak is very easy.
But in the end, security doesn't survive a photographic camera or a copy/past of notepad...
Transposing to analogic and digital again will
remove almost all fingerprinting that you can add to any document.
As for the accusation by itself, the best way to work around it is to help out the client and ask them for help to find and squash both the leak and the issue.
The great majority of this issues comes from human factors (and in the case of digital documents, computer security/virus).
So... in the end, GL...
Free people from the visa hurdles and you will see people that join that kind of crappy companies just flee and move to another...
Market working at it's best.
Not exactly.
After warehouse cost, you have to consider shelf space...
And the internet mangles all this, because, warehouse cost can become very cheap (due to centralization and better logistics) and shelf space is equal to all products (if you discount promotions and special publicity).
This theories are all very nice and dandy, but in the end, you better do a reality check...;)
The issue is that when I'm referring to a netbook, everyone currently knows that I'm referring to the smallish portable computers...
Not the Psion stuff. [it may be a bit too late now i believe, but IANAL, nor a IP expert]
When Intel refered the term in their marketspeech... they should have got the C&D...
The public or even the site owner has nothing to do with the use of the term. They are not selling computers with it...
To exist a trademark violation, it needs to exist trade in the first place, and trade in the specific class that the trademark was registered.
I for once can trademark the term "netbook" to the class of educational/books. And if Psion didn't registered it for that class... tough luck...;)
(that is why you have an musical editor called "Apple" and a computer company called "Apple", even if they had some sort of agreements in the past, they had different markets at the time)
The issue is the creation of meaningless and junk science all over tainting the archives with crap and reducing visibility of the true innovative papers...
When will a "generated" paper will be awarded the nobel prize?
It just exists.
You write something. BANG... it's copyrighted.
Now there are better ways to ascertain the copyright, specially when it's needed to prove the date.
Publication date is a good start to ascertain that date, another is to pre-register it with several organizations specialized on such.
So i don't even know how this argument can be made in the first place.
By default the Berna convention ascertains the rights of the rightful authors... And about 99% of the world has signed it...
Alas...
Slashdot Mirror
That is why patents in the old times required a prototype.
To split the ideas from reality, the prototype also added the "implemented here and now" feature, now absent.
That is why this sort of them are bogus and a waste of time and money for everyone involved.
hehehehe
Welcome to the age of mind crimes! ;)
Why?
I do believe that is the job for the patent office.
After all they already have received payment for it! ;)
I don't know but do any of NCSoft games actually communicate with the servers thru port 80 as the patent states?
And with http protocols?
I've huge doubts.
Actually making a game like the patent specifies would be:
a) Lag feast; ;)
b) Completly void of security;
Even some of NCSoft games are prior art to that.
But the issue is a bit irrelevant due to the fact that as stated before elsewhere VRML existed way before it.
Also "World" is a fictional MMORPG anime series and fully trademarked...
Also.. shockwave dates from 2000, and i'm sure Macromedia/Adobe will have tons of patents related with them.
*drumrolls*
Simple path:
Assign some devs to patch only...
And get the rest to start work on an improved 4.0 codebase (from scratch or from refactoring).
Mayhappen to get new outside devs they should provide some tutorials on how to hack the code of OO.o

That leads only to pay twice for something that should just exist.
You already pay for that QoS and that Bandwidth.
If people did measurements of the offered QoS/Bandwidth some ISP would be forced to close down...
I do believe that they would made more money if they had something like a cheap yearly license for out of uk people to be able to see bbc content in it's full...
But i'm just a crazy guy with stupid ideas... ;)
Office 97 worked perfectly well.
After that version, it's mostly eyecandy.
Alas... progress = more shiny things and blingbling... ;)
Right...
And that was if i recall correctly on a operator... an outdated desktop with some software installed.
And worked perfectly well in circa 1999... ;)

But i may be wrong...

Not possible... The needed space when they created them... so the common sense was dumped in the trash bin... ;)
But 100% legal since the lift of the prototype obligation when registering a patent... Patent law in US has more holes then some cheese i know of...
Copyright applies to the manual, not to the source of the feature and the date where it was inserted into the code...

IPlayer be available only in UK based IP is a PITA... And a true fail for BBC...
