    "the Muslims"? I just hope that was badly worded sentence and not a reflection of your real views. Believe it or not, not all Muslims are terrorists.

    Well if that was on then people wouldn't be able to set the common passwords so they wouldn't become common. If you see what I mean.

  22. Re:Don't make the date from *publication* on Lessig's Next Copyright Proposal · · Score: 1

    From the FAQ:

    # Why limit this to "published" works?

    Copyright reaches both published and unpublished works. It protects unpublished works primarily for reasons of privacy. There's no good reason to force people to take affirmative steps to protect work they have not published to others. So this proposal would only apply to work that people initially intended to make available publicly. The alternative (50 years after creation) creates very difficult problems of timing. I can know without asking you when a work was published. I can't easily know when the work was created.

  23. Re:Name Change? on Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived · · Score: 2, Informative
    Basically the name change has been delayed until 0.6.

    From the FAQ:
    I kept hearing that you were changing the name from Phoenix to something else. What happened?

    That was just a giant publicity stunt. We've observed that in the past, the open-source community has instinctively favored David when big corporations complain of trademark infringement. We wanted to cash in on this sympathy by asking the community to send us money to fight the legal battle (obviously we'd really spend it on cool stuff), but with all the taxing issues and whatnot we decided to can the idea.

    Uhhhh...really?

    No, not really. This isn't like an action flick where the evil madman reveals the intricacies of his plans to hostages and then leaves them alone with a bomb set to detonate in like 10 hours. When we're ripping you off, we won't explain how in the FAQ. The truth is that we'd already had this 0.5 released planned for awhile, so it was okay to release under the Phoenix name. But under no circumstances will any future release be called Phoenix.
