That will only work for toy inventions. It takes 3 to 5 years to simply build a 1.0 product. By the time the product is out the door, you have only 2 to 4 years to make any profit.
If you need 3 to 5 years to build a 1.0 product and 2 to 4 to profit from it, you don't need patents at all. Just keep it in secret till you develop the product and start selling. By the time the competition starts selling your product, you'll have a several years advantage.
Lots of programs raise a DLL missing error if you need a specific version, or needs.NET runtime 2.5 and 2.0 is installed. If errors arise, there are probelms in any OS.
Here in Spain, about 20 years ago there was a de-facto monopoly in games distribution. That company (ERBE) decided to lower their prices from 2000Ptas to 875 (20$ to 8.75$) and raised the sales about an order of magnitude. And that was when games came on audio tapes. Right now, if a company big enough makes a similar move, I think they could multiply their sales and profits.
Photoshop is about 1.000 US$, a new computer to work with it (w/o screen) probably less than that including windows license. I would't hesitate to spend that knowing that it's the best environment to run it and it works like a charm. IMHO Photoshop is one of the most important things that keep me apart from linux in my day to day job.
If Adobe releases a Linux version as fast as the windows one, I'll swap in a day. (Please, let me use my licenses;)
The article is about scores from forums used by PC and Mac users, not about users themselves. I use a PC and some unix boxes and don't usually contribute to forums. I think that the typical PC forum user is young and looking for answers to their questions about e-donkey or kazaa, while mac people tend to be older and look for some other things (what? I dunno:)
While I'm not an English spoker, I've seen some of the best English arount in comp.lang.perl.moderated:)
That's not right. With the same sentence you're saying that's right to have kids working on sweatshops provided that they (or their parents) have signed an agreement. There are contracts that conflict with laws and law is always right in that matter, making contracts void.
In fact it was just a matter of time. At last, telcos are realizing that technology is a helper and not a foe. Probably 3rd generation as designed is not going to generate the expected revenue and some side paths need to be found.
I have a smll company that sells email services. I probably wouldn't be able to cope with the intrincacies of a world wide payment system and afford the changes. Anyway, it would be quite difficult to work that kind of system. Probably only way would be like passport. I don't like it.
I hope you were not tryng to make a solid with al of its faces being regular pentagons. If Lightwave can do that, it's a much better package than I thought, cause it happens to be impossible. If you add a handful of exagons, trouble is much less.
And you cannot trisect an angle too, with divider and straight ruler. Just numeric solutions for this one
Is watermarking a needed feature? What if the commercial solution can't do it? You would't have any alternative but asking for it and waiting. If it's really necessary, just having the opportunity to immplement it is worth it's weight in gold.

I can't deny I don't disagree with you.
Google says shark-infested custard. And in this particular case, the machine is smarter than me...
Can you do the same with viagra and cialis?
So, MSWindows code market value is zero, too, since you're not going to be able to buy it.
Forgot to say that it was such a pity that adobe discontinued Photoshop for Irix. It worked like a charm.

do you use to have a free hand while watching porn in your watch..? Oh, never mind ;)
In 2001 The living forest was released from Spain, being the first CG movie in Europe. And it did quite well.

Since the eighties, things are just not the same. I've no use to blue-box to a bbs in barbados to get some Pr0n gifs... The times they're a-changing
Are the phreaking times gone forever with the digital technology or it ain't interesting anymore since we have the internet?

If you don't want me to modify a car don't sell it to me, clear?
So, can I just not sell my work to you if I don't want you to edit it?
Maybe a non-modification license would be enough?
IMHO, I can distribute my work under any license and all you can do is not buying it.
Best regards
David
