I've been following this.Net thing and I'll give Corel and MS the credit that they're the famous ones of the bunch who've been thinking the same things. That's as far as I go.
I have a different tack on the whole source deal. Source is useless nowadays from a reuse standpoint. Do you want to wade through OpenOffice? or Mozilla? It's a god damned zoo.
Or how about the hundred times I've asked where I could start from to be able to tweak the virtual memory management of Linux because I have certain needs to take care of. No one can tell me. I suppose I could meditate in front of that humongous 2.4.0 call trace poster.
What I'd prefer is function source. A scan of source is performed so that a functional subset is produced. Second every mountain of source can be translated into the internal source standards a company lives by. That way you have internal standard A, performance filter A1, General functional core B, performance filter C1, and internal standard C.
Companies A and C keep their respective source and the standards, where as B becomes a general resource.
Benefits: an end to fragmentation. The translation is performed by a computer therefore any claims of incompatibility and vendor lock-in are erased. The standards could even be derived by the computer so that teams that wish to perform a rock solid translation by hand can avoid doing extra work during the next patch. They'd be teaching the computer so to speak.
Companies compete on performance as they open up the possibility of people to do their own work and actually own software without putting the company at a risk of losing its edge.
Health insurance companies think they're in the business of maintaining health not fixing disease. Keep your health in shape and they'll cover any nuissances you have to deal with.

Neither of these gov't sanctioned monopolies are entitlements. Read the fucking law. It says it is intended to encourege publication of works, ideas, and services. Not an entitlement. Not something one is born with but a conditional grant given to those who work to build a reputation that they can later trademark, those who invent not only whatever crosses their mind but something further along from what has been invented, and those who produce a document of sorts as it is clear by having produced it that work has occured.

1. The Amiga is still a force to be reckoned with (guess how Babylon 5 was made) because engineers realized software was a feature of hardware 15 years ago. The modern PC wastes millions of cycles remembering how to act like a computer. Amigans realized the world is made of Video/Audio interfaces, data, and output. As a result the Amiga doesn't waste time pretending to be a computer. It simply plows through its tasks quickly and efficiently. No wonder AmigaOS on my 14Mhz 1200 makes my Athlon 500 Debian box blink when it comes to responsive multiresolution screens on the visual field, and I won't even talk about programming simplicity. I love Debian (I can play almost all media formats from one program now), but for the sake of sanity I'm done with PCs (Macs included).
2. XML will always be a metalanguage. Any theoretical linguist can tell you that a syntax can never be more than a veil over the actual workings underneath. There has to be a deliberate agreement that this piece of text in brackets will do what I think it should. Is Microsoft going to "make it so" using a tag?

I'm looking into starting a company that helps local network projects. The main reason is that 2-1000 people can set up a Gigabit network faster than the Internet big shots can and for much less cost. I imagine talented high schoolers causing some disturbance to AOLTimeWarner:)
As a complement I also want to support media services like authenticated media transfer. You go to the local hobbyist's audio store (next door neighbour) and you buy an imprint of an album from him. And you tell him you want it in.ogg format.
He also gives you an account so you can play it in your car or non-computer room in the house.
He passes on some of the profits to the original artist and keeps some for himself.
What I'd really like is for every step down the road the responsibility to the original artist to be diluted so that future paranoid streaks like we're dealing with now will be prevented. You could even say that when the.ogg transfer is made some of the copyright (much diluted) passes to the next door neighbour so that if there's any claim of infringement more people will have a stake in what goes on and rival interests will balance out.
The choice in media would then be a case of price/quality.
I just need help organizing and understanding some of the things I'll be dealing with.

I have the constitutional right to verbally let my girlfriend know what a good blow she gives.
But it's perty.
Last thing I want to do is continually buy a new hard drive. And there is no multigig removable storage now aside from tape backup.
I like CDs.
However, I refuse to pay the RIAA for the right to reecord my own music and content onto my own CDs. Shame on Cringely for even considering it.
It takes a little more than that. You also have to maintain general functionality of the source while at the same time changing it.
It's like I'm dooing plumbing work and as I change things I don't have any idea how to put the pieces back into a working whole again.
When you get source you end up having the small scale picture without a large scale model.
Strings.com seems to have cool idea as well.

Wrong. Solaris is open licensed.
Do you really think people would stop coding if they had a job?
Apparently individuality, the art of not buying every bloody thing in sight is having a downtrodding effect on artis... er publishers.
You have so pissed off the wrong people.
You people are hereby obsolete.
The problem is they took a subset of what server design is (pretty widgets) and made that the core.
