If this idea/process is very broad, just find some prior work from some other source and show it to your company that demonstrates that this is not a new idea.
If they go ahead with the patent, hopefully you can tell 'others' about the prior work.
ComedyCentral has a great new series now called 'BattleBots' where you try to destroy the other robot. [Sounds more fun to me =) ] Its on wednesdays, so check it out tonight!
"On Monday 7 August 2000, an announcement will be made at a meeting of the IAU (International Astronomical Union) that a Jupiter-sized planet has been discovered orbiting the nearby star Epsilon Eridani."
The problem is that a jupiter sized star is most likely all gas, hydrogen mostly. What i am waiting for is a earth or mars sized planet only about 10 light years away! Then we could send some probes! (i am not talking right now, but within the next century)
Isn't is amazing that we can debate planet exploration but none of us will ever live to see the 'Star Trek' vision of space in our lives?
Commander Keen may have been good, but Raptor was of course the 'best' classic game of all time because of its intense gameplay and most of all, the soundtrack!
This is an interesting discussion. My company was not ready to dive whole heartedly into the free as in 'speech' or free as in 'beer', but we beleived that people who downloaded and tried out our newest product called dIRC should be able to view, learn from, and fix problems by being able to download the source.
First, the program is distributed in a typical "shareware" fashion. You can download a free evaluation copy and try it out for 30 days. When the program is installed, you agree to a license that says you agree to purchase the program if you continue to use it after 30 days.
We released the source code in an effort to let people learn from it, and if willing, to contribute their code or fixes. During development, we (somewhat surprisingly) had a few requests from people for the source code, as they were curious about how an IRC client would work. We feel that releasing the source does not harm our business, but does help the development community, and potentially the dIRC community as a whole.
The license under which dIRC's source code is distributed states that you may compile the program for personal use. However, modified versions cannot be distributed unless we give written approval. The biggest reason for this is that we do not want multiple, incompatible versions of dIRC floating around on the Internet. You can check out the the license here.
In our case, having the source availible does not mean that our product is free. Dragonmount still whole-heartedly ownes dIRC, but as with the car analogy, you can open it up, poke around, see how it works, make sure it is safe (security), put in a bigger engine (like a 289 in my 1966 mustang, rar!). But however you change your individual car, Ford motor company still owns the design.
I believe that we should start putting ads on the desks at schools, on those white suspended ceiling panels, and on floor tiles. We can sell the spots for $100 a month. What a great way to get some extra cash for the school!
I have figured out the problem and thought that some of you may have run into the same thing.
What i was trying to do was forward connections from telnet (port 23) top another box inside my local network. I already had the masqing working which most of the posts were about.
The answer is! When you are doing port forwarding with ipmasqadm and portfw, it does not work from within your local network! Hence, when i was trying to test it, it did not work. When relized that the forwarding would not work from within my own network, i started it back up and went across the hall. Sure enough, it was working!
The moral of the story.
If you are using ipmasqadm with the portfw module, you must test it from outside your network to make sure it is working, not from within. I hope this helps some people out.

OS X is suppose to be pronounced 'Oh Es Ten', but it sounds so much better when it is pronounced 'Ohhh Sex'.
Too bad they can just ignore them, *cough* *cough*
it killed the romans
MP3 is so widespread, and there are encoders and players for it already, that their format will not catch on.
Now i can run some RC5 clients on my routers!
:P )
(What an effective use of resources
I think, therefor i think. i think?
Its up to $10 million now. I'll have to think twice about it now. =D

Releasing the RSA to the public domain is great, but what i really care about is the free tshirt!

How about a group of us start up a lawfirm just to fight these kinds of attacks.

"I prefer makefiles and source code..."
In visual studio, you can have makefiles just like those of GNU make.
