  1. From the makers of carrion cash on Will Microsoft Code-Checking Plans Cripple the GPL? · · Score: 1

    Not that I care, but aren't the register articles generally biased?

    Or is it me?

  2. ICANN: Why is there no seperation of powers? on ICANN Updates · · Score: 1, Interesting
    Most systems that involve policy making bodies and implementation bodies seperate the two logically to allow some checks and balances - that is, in a system of governing, it makes no sense to consolidate the law makers and the law enforcers. But, from their own 'Mission and Core Values statement':

    ICANN's Mission lies in the nexus between ICANN's technical coordination role, its operational role, and its policy role

    Why isn't ICANN structured this way? How can they be a group that decides policy AND a group that implements policy? Doesn't this create an room for conflict of interest that ultimately leads to abuse of the system?

  3. Re:GENERAL public license? on ADTI Whitepaper Released · · Score: 0

    Thanks!

  4. FSF became known for its position to end patents? on ADTI Whitepaper Released · · Score: 0
    FSF became well known for its position of free software as well as its radical ideas to end patents on inventions.

    Last I checked, they were upset about software patents. Don't mean to ad hominen on you, but is this guy a jackass, or what?

  5. GENERAL public license? on ADTI Whitepaper Released · · Score: 0
    However, the license called "general public license" (GPL) is the opposite.

    Since when has the GNU Public license carried the moniker of General Public License?

    thanks lmi.net, and sbcglobal.net; you know who you are.

  8. Steal what patent? on Red Hat Files for Software Patents · · Score: 1
    You mean this:(?)

    An atomic look-up operation allows an application to find out whether a file is opened atomically based on whether or not the file path is present in a file system namespace cache. If not, the file open request can be redirected, avoiding or minimizing impacts to the scheduling of various operations involved in executing an application

    Oh shit, I think I've stolen it a hundred times:

    snip: class APalmCatCache; class ALinkMasterCache; /snip

    ... except mine applies to db's - not filesystems. Hey! wait! That is novel!

  9. And I just had SQUID for lunch... on Red Hat Files for Software Patents · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    and my cock is fourteen feet long; novel enough?

  12. Worse yet ... on More on Intel v. Hamidi · · Score: 1
    wouldn't it destroy the interoperability we have come to expect? If a precedent is set, would I have to ask permission to push packets through another's network? Is there anything we can do?

    Lawrence Lessig Answers Your Questions: 3) The Judicial Branch

    Courts make illegal all sorts of technology ... without any concern about whether such regulation will threaten cyberspace and free speech generally ... I think the problem is that courts don't see the connection between certain kinds of technology and legal values ... If courts could be made to see this, then we could connect this struggle to ideals they understand.
