Agreed,
Restrictions against piracy will push this a bit further to the right direction but what is worrying is that privacy should still be an value. I believe that once privacy is broken, the trust that people have in IT will drop and eventually drive them out of the internet.
So yes, it is a good initiative but it might really easily backfire and break the very industry that is lobbying it.
One of the few countries where you can be arrested for doing a joke that is not funny... in a comedy show...
Freedom of speech is not on our dictionaries and we don't fight for it.. ever
I think its about ideia itself, if its gonna be paid it will become a commercial encyclopedia not a free one anymore. Well I like the way it is, I dont think that contributors should get money for publishing information
You can teach someone what you are doing, and keep helping him as a tutor, you will be contributing but not directly.. even if the input of the knowledge is a source code !
But for me the contract is bullshit !! What are they so afraid of.. we are in 21 century already
The concept matters, now java can be part of free solutions. As java being a programming language very complete and easy to learn, its a good way to put java to others uses. Making better compilers, or better tools to use java like a mono maybe.
Google is going to become the new microsoft, but of the.Net era !! Doing what Microsoft done with the PCs. You Tube doesnt have to be profitable, it's a another google tool for monopoly.
Microsoft have the money and the power needed to take technology for the next level. If you want to use a bad equipament as ps2 or other stuff, you are trying to hold the evolution process of the world. I think that as microsoft is not very strong in game business this kind of strike could really put her int a very good position in the next few years. I hope that communities don't blow away this opportunity of be taken for the next level, with XNA Longhorn and XBox 2. The quality of life provided by the technology rises a lot, if you want to be smart and bet in technology thats fine. But don't try to hold technology in worst levels as keep using a 500mhz processor as if it is !
I am a game developer and I need to maximize everything to get some good resort in ps2, using a new technology means, easier was to create best games. Think about that and don't go trough the mood.
If you are a smart person you recognize the complexity of the situation, you think in all possibillities that could happen. That's why courses of speach they consist in keep you mind busy while you talk, like you have nothing to fear just yourself.
Dumb people just do things they don't think a lot so there is no problem speaking stupid stuff in public because they don't realize that.
I think microsoft has incresed a lot the increased rate of tecnology. If it wasn't for microsoft I would be another company.
Microsoft may created some bugged software, lots of the headache.. lol.. but afterall I think that the PC are only possible because of microsoft.. of course now that the computers are popular, but back there.. thats another history..

Sorry about that Mr Coward but I don't believe that anyone with their right mind would ever agree with the policies we apply in Brazil.

Life is easy now and usually smart couples tend to have less kids. My opinion is that the population as a whole is actually de-evolving.
