I concur wholeheartedly. I pay for software when the license says I have to. I appreciate the fact that you also probably have to work EXTRA HARD just to do so. A retroactive settlement can be a nightmare not just in monies spent, but also in the mind boggling issues of licensing.
Thanks for smacking down a perceived bigot even if you were mistaken!!! I think we on the same team.
Before any more people take the ethnocentric bastard interpretation from my post, as more than 1 sincere user has already done, let me address the verbiage I used in Paragraph 3.
To wit: What's important to note is the overall quality of life for the citizens of the United States
It is common practice for a court filing, should a responsible one ever see the light of day concerning GNu/BSD/et. al., to use the opening header to define the litigants. In such Class Action cases the 'lawyer-types' like to use the sentence "People of <jurisdiction> vs. the second party.
eg: People of the United States vs. Brigham Young, et al., December 30, 1858
I apologize to the first two posters who took offence where none was intended (through my own typing) and to future readers who may come across this post and bitch too. I recognize that the comment could be taken in a way (out of context to my mind) such that it would be ethnocentric. I just didn't mean it to be taken that way AT ALL.
I am a citizen of the United States - ERGO:I cannot effect legislation in your country!!!! I cannot effect legislation in my OWN country - let alone YOUR country. Europe, from what LITTLE I KNOW has places even LESS VALUE on copyright than the USA!!!
My point was about the people!!! You, me, Martians and moonmen/moonwomen/moontransgendered!
It's a point of AMERICAN LAW that the people come first. I REALLY REALLY regret coming across like an ethnocentric bastard because I was not speaking to Nationality for the sake of nationality, but rather to point out how there's an underlying loophole: THE PEOPLE's BEST INTEREST!
I thought of that when I wrote it and felt that it was important to recognize that the scope of enforceability would be limited to USA. The point of the sentence was to identify that the PEOPLE come first. That I failed to include the majority of the planet is offensive, I just didn't think that rest of the world gave two sh!ts about copyright or trademark infringement.
Arrogant? No.
Ignorant. Sure.
Thanks for your input because I had no intention of generating the emotion you acquired from reading my post.
Funny, why would any personal user give a sheist about the license?
This being about corporate interests then, and me being a private entity, why should I give a sheisty sheist what SCO thinks of themselves?
What's important to note is the overall quality of life for the citizens of the United States - our best interests are to not penalize *nix users at all - it's too late in the game and many a small business would go out of business because of the cost associated with compliance or monetary settlement.
Not that government has ANY idea on how to secure their own machines, or tax internet sales, or stop Bill Gates and his remora-ware oompaloompasfrom making a mint on anti-virus and spam software.
I totally agree. Allowing unwanted files onto your system just because 'they' know the address is USER ERROR. These FILTERS are ASKING FOR SPAM!!!
This middle-market-merchandising-madness has to stop. Bill Gates and attendent remora-ware are getting richer and richer each and every day.
I guess if politicians can't figure out that their own computers aren't safe, or how to tax internet transactions, then we can't bloody rely on them to stop consumer gouging either can we?
Acquire domain and setup your site.
Set up a list of your known contacts, accepted email addresses.
Create email page with CAPTCHA image - to filter out 'bots. Once they message you the first time you can decide for yourself if they get on your acceptable list. Most spammers won't take the time to defeat this - not cost effective.
Give the URL of this page out AS your email address.
They have to hack your site instead of just hitting a keystroke in order to send you SPAM.
This allows anonimity and allows new, valid users to contact you.
That's JUST what we need, more reasons to watch a box all day. I can look out my window and get all the colors all the time. And since I don't watch TV, time is something I've got 28-42 extra hours of every week.
Tell me you're not in denial - and I won't listen.
I remember trading those programs between a tech-savvy friend and the grad student running the computer lab on campus - when I was like 12 ('79?). I think I still have some of those old Verbatim floppies.
Were nibbles 1/2 a bit or 1/4? I can't remember. I wasn't technical enough to do more than copy Hard Hat Mac and other disk utilities. I sure loved it when I came across one that the lab guy couldn't copy and my friend could.
I never worried about sneaking in to the lab again!
Each time you log off you should get a new password.
The password could be the answer to a question. Makes it easier to remember and increases the character length. What's difficult is remembering a password you've only seen once. I say Adapt. Overcome. You wanna get paid? Stop drinking and smokin' dope.
If your old password remains active for 15 days you could probably use that time to remember the new password.
Why are we so homocentric? Aren't monkeys lighter than us and much stronger? I think watching a monkey try to fly a helicopter would be really funny too.
Maybe the 1 minute hover constraint is a little on the wishful side - but I just want to see the look on the monkey's face as it 'accidentally' veers into a helpless crowd of onlookers in bermuda shorts.
They're worried about being sued because someone on their network could inadvertantly install and run software that is patented by someone, somewhere in the world? Talk about a barrier to linux. Fear has grip. But what is the true mechanism, that breaks what is arguably weak patent protection in the first place? Same answer as last time: THE END USER FROM FREAKING HELLLLLLL
Why don't they make duplicate ghost installs and user profiles for each categorization of employee (in state offices) and update the ghosts when legislation and job function changes - what state employee users can and cannot do. They could do automatic updates on a schedule - that'd motivate consumers to/platforms.
Hey if you got the gear and you got the dvd from the store - who says you cannot invite friends over to enjoy your legal movie and hardware purchases? - as intended by the manufacturer!!! Wouldn't projection limits be the way to deal with this. Go ahead and project, but only up to 75" or so outside of your home.
Who put the stuff on DVD in the first place? Who's genius idea was it to give the product of theater away through digital projectors - whose at fault!!! It's obviously legal to do or they wouldn't advertise it. Intended or not - here we are. It's technology vs. technology in a free enterprise world. Yes everyone should pay, but whose gonna reorganize the product delivery pricing schedule now?
What your city council might do in the way of legislation to prevent the annoyance of neighboorhood flicker and full surround sound for 2 or 3 hundred guests is a another story.
I think this is the one kind of Microsoft story that I hate the most. . . . Because I didn't 'get in' at $.19 in 1981 (or whatever/whenever the IPO was).
Now that a few posts have gone by I can say that yes, I did live on a commune when I was 7-8. I see the inefficiency AND value of Competition, Free-Enterpirse, and Profit. However,all things are relative.
I just want US to overcome the various social downsides of Predatory Capitalism in such a way that everyone pulls their own weight AND has a reasonably pleasurable experience while trapped in these bags-of-mostly-water.
Stalin was a thug who bullied murderers.
Marx was a famous comedian/tragedician(sic).
Communists work so as to eat, which may come as a suprising theory to you, but I doubt it will fill your belly.
Read some Kurt Vonnegut and remember your humanity.
Capitalism without Communism is like a not-so-diversified portfolio. You may get rich today, but how will you handle the certain storms of tomorrrow?
I think it's deliciously ironic that this thread occured. I just hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass!
May the Moderator have Mercy on my Meaning.
I always find new ways to integrate logic just about the time my testing is generating throughput without errors. The app works - it's just that "it can always work BETTER." If you're certain it's the interface - look at how messed up Win XP and Mac are. They lead you by the hand whether you like it or not. I know that sounds wrong but if your market is 'geek' they will likely appreciate having just the facts, and not aliases(sic).
Obviously the product should not just be usable, but intuitive. Crossing that line and being glossy can mean you're hiding the functionality behind graphic design or a perceived learning curve, which distracts from the intuitiveness.
Users are smarter now-a-days. They still want 'turnkey' solutions not kludgeware, but with computer technology still growing in complexity I'm suprised a bunch of hardcore ragtag programmers think they're going to fall behind in adoption because of mindshare.
About this time my '.com' was watching venture capital dry up. We had a meeting with Arthur Andersen to discuss our accounting product and I distinctly remember the 23 or 24 year guy not having the slightest clue why he was even meeting with us. Uniterested and pathetic questions. No wonder every audit firm in the universe used to APPROACH US at tradeshows - they must've thought EVERYONE was on the take.
Well my life since then plays like a broken country album. And Larry Ellison still looks like the devil. I hate this mellenium so far.
This is my aesthetic response to an annoying pop star who did little other than be famous for not being attractive in the company of someone who portrayed airhead/skank/easy. Comedic contrast. It was funny that they couldn't sing but tried anyway - it was satire to some members of the audience. If you and I cannot agree on what the performance was - how are we likely to quantify it's value?
Artforms meld with one another very readily, making it difficult to understand exactly how the proportions of each incorprated element affect the audience. Ask yourself what a video has to do with a song and you'll see a facet of what I mean. Is that Marketing the product or is it actually the Product - because second ago the song was the product. You can see how an accountant would be pulling hairs trying to departmentalize the beans, what about a legislator trying to ANTICIPATE tomorrow's perceptions of What Art Is?
Sono Bono:Fledgling TV industry
Tell me the recording industry has a good track record in ANY facet of it's business and I'll call you a liar. In Sony's 15 minutes the industry was still slavering over the profit of The Silver Beatles. Perhaps Sony's insight is corrupt because he was a young star. He brought a "valid" insight indeed - but a balanced insight??? Stars are/were INTENSELY Catered-To heavily at some point in their development. Perhaps his drive was flawed by his experience - he ended up a politician remember;) And no one can really stand that "I got you babe" song unless they just fell in love last week.
The point is that copywriting aesthetic 'products' AND enforcing the law is a difficult thing to do. When's the last time a band paid royalties for playing a cover song live? It is illegal you know. Perhaps there is no product except the media that art is pressed into and the other products that spin the media and amplify and project the contents.
Thanks ~ I'll let you know if I cross the chasm and make the big bread, loaf.
I used ICQ in '98 or '99 but it never took off for me. I like the idea of the whitelist and diskspace being maintained by the vendor and Not On My Machine. I saw IRC and ICQ as the same as Yahoo! Chat with the added dimension that messages could goto PDA, cellphone and kiosk - more of a salesman or CEO method of communication. I've blown through so many email accounts i can't think up anymore nics, let alone passwords.
As for Yahoo! they're using their bandwidth and diskspace to give me more tasks to perform(Bulk email) so that I have to view more advertisers. All this bandwidth and money changes hands over nothing - wild west indeed. Just a medicine show. It's a microcosm of the vicious circle we see when middleware and bloatware push us to purchase newer PCs.
Before Time, I remember the local BBS guy used to only relay email on Saturday mornings around 2:30am because the next node on FidoNet was long distance AND 200k of weekly email was a major resource event! But we survived and we liked it that way. So was born: "Less is more."
One of the options provided is to make one of your email accounts a catch-all account. In other words, any email sent to this domain with out a valid user name, will be dumped in the catch-all account. The question I have, is this a good idea or not?
Perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about but I think you should do something like this (now that you have a domain and hosting) . . .
Give people your web address instead of an email address and have your host deny email service to your domain except for those Addressed TO a single specific adderss. Next, configure an email-webForm with a CAPTCHA field. Users are asked to include their address and the text is sent via the form to your application(scripts). With no CatchAll in place you can deny all email EXCEPT to one specific, and preferably obscurly-named email address. With existing Trusted contacts and New webform contacts you can build a list of addresses which you will accept mail from and can give them THAT address. Now the lock is tight in both directions - all others need to knock at the front door before entering your bus.
Of course, I like to dream alot about taking down Yahoo!, Hotmail and GMail all within a couple of weeks of adoption of my new paradigm. And there was that talk of me being the Village Idiot. Thank God we lived just outside the city limits!
I thought the idea was great, if they could work a large wooden beaver into the design.
No really, if they could build some mouse-jigs they could use the modified Electr-O-Sketch to design loom components. Soon they'd innovate Punchcards, then the Difference Engine - and finally the mouse.
With recent advances in transistors and microprocessors they'd soon be able to design childrens toys without the need of the highly inefficient clay tablet
I predict a bright future for this group of stalwart free thinkers!
From the CNET article: "The way we'd like to say it is that part of our mission is to organize and present all the world's information, and e-mail's part of that information that currently is not well organized. That is the rubric under which we offer this."
Who needs domain keys when you don't traverse domains?
Why waste CPU cycles?
Shit, if the Blu-Ray DVD technology can really put 23.3 - 100 GB of info on a DVD RW, storage space won't mean shit in 6 -9 months. Google can archive every damn thing in the universe.
What's cool is we get a chance to cybersquat again!
Slashdot Mirror
all depend on getting things like that right.

Two Parts Physics
What's out of the equation is Amplitude.
What if they just bought a gazillion repeaters and installed them on top of every telephone pole? No one would steal them for their redundancy.
Cost? Well it's a smarter investment than spending $160 B on a war against a 2nd-world country so we can wean ourselves from oil.
Most people thought the EBS looked kinda stupid when the blackout happened a while back.
Had it been an actual terrorist attack - we'd have been toast. Maybe they should switch to Vonage.
This shit was great back in 1950, but equal rights and democracy were great in the 60's and we don't seem to have them anymore either.

What fool is representing this group?
Aren't XM and Sirius satellite radio also available over the Internet - about $10 a month? BBC.co.uk is free. Muzak services Canada I would think.
What gives???
Well he took alot of spotlight from Kucinich and Nader - two guys with a lot more going for them than the media will appreciate.
I don't think he did much at all. He and Hillary will never be president.
By the way, stand up guy Dennis Kucinich threw shis support behind Kerry now. Looks like it's all over for the Repugnicans until 2012.
Jusy be sure to vote in Novemeber AND to vote for Congressmen.
Fair Enough

Enron made campaign contributions totaling more than $5.7 million between 1989 and 2001. Republicans received 73% of this money. Ken Lay was an ardent supporter of George W. Bush during Bush's time as Governor of Texas. During the 2000 campaign, Lay allowed Bush to use Enron corporate jets to fly from stump speech to stump speech. So close were these men that Bush granted Lay a nickname: 'Kenny-Boy.'
