The work of the commercial companies in following changelogs is only in support of the places where they deviate from the "standard" kernel. I believe in the Frankenstein principle. "You create a monster, you take care of it". It's not always wise to create a fork, even a private one, because you are then responsible for it's care and feeding.
I don't have a lot of sympathy in this issue, in that some of my largest problems have been where a particular distribution has to do a thing "their way", and by creating a different way, causes me grief.
Don't get me wrong. I understand that I chose that particular package of grief. My point is that the option is always there to use the stock kernel. That should be the default unless there are overwhelming reasons not to. (and if so, should you not report a bug to the maintainers?)
No, I think that's the wrong way to look at it. Simply charge a non-trivial flat rate, say $500 to register. Or, better yet, Tax it on a declared value as you propose, but limit any civil award to that amount for infringement. It would be property, as you propose, but there would be a "tipping point" where it would not be worth protecting below that value. You could still sell for n^x, but the protection would be at the level that it is registered for.
... Don't count on paying full price. I use a competing interface engine (running on Linux of course...) and the cost of that software is scores of tens of thousands of dollars to purchase, and a couple thousand a year for support. The commercial version of the Mirth box is $2,400 to purchase, and by putting several in place, it would replace the large integration system. Open source WILL make an impact on the bottom line. It just needs more time and projects to start making an impact. I don't know of an industry that is slower in IT lifecyles (due to high capital investments;-) than healthcare.
As a Blood Banker... There have been many many attempts to create a replacement for banked blood. All of these have failed when tested on a biological model. Many have produced kidney damage in animal models, and many others simply did not work. This particular version is very early in it's development. When it can keep a dog alive.... then call me.
Have you used.ASP? EWWWWWWWWWW! It's the typical M$ bailing wire. This provides (right now) about 75% WYSIWYG development of PHP web pages, using a framework that closely resembles the Object Pascal (Delphi) Visual Control Library (VCL). It gets you a Web GUI prototyped quickly, and an event-driven framework to develop the back end. It will DEPLOY to either M$ or Linux, so the only constraint on your hosting is PHP 5.
Nope, I think you have it wrong. Moving to Linux and Google is the right answer! The amazing question is how did they get this management decision right?
Guess every journey along the right road begins with a single step....
I find it distressing that we are just now seeing the realization that monopoly of an idea is a bad thing. If I write code that uses a "ladder" technique to access an array, I need to worry about if that technique is patented. Apparently, nobody (in business at least) cares one iota. What? Wait a minute! I can't use a ponzi scheme to reduce my taxes? This affects me now!
How typical. There are a lot of folks out there who can't see beyond the end of their noses!!
I don't think that a single case can confer a "right". It simply provides case law that can support a position. As it stands, anyone can sue anybody for anything. The probability of winning that suit is determined by the facts of the case, the law involved, and the prior cases that pertain to the particular situations in that case.
After all, the obvious conclusion after reading this interview is that in most instances, the RIAA does not really have a strong case. Like in Vegas, they're surfing the percentages.
(Ripping the Google letter from the lawyer's hands....) You know how you asked me to let you know when you are acting rudely and insensitively? (nods) You're doing it now.....
That's an indirect reason for their profitability. I don't think that they have vending machines. Want a coke? Just grab it from the fridge in the break room. No charge.....
I would take issue with your criticism of write boundaries. Within my application space (Transmission of HL7 messages) we have a standard encapsulation trick that is used over TCP that sends 0b as a first "framing byte" followed by message data, terminated by 1c then 0d. I just had a problem 2 weeks ago where my vendor included a 1c in the message data. Of course, this was not recognized by the message receiver, was application-level NAKed, and the sender tried the same message again. Lather, rinse, repeat. A message based transport would scratch that itch nicely.
Multiple path association has a benefit in our space as well. With IP route manipulation, the setup of alternate routes has been a good way to provide for delivery, but the routes are not insured. By building that insurance in the protocol, then valid routes are insured with heartbeats. In a hospital, we really place a lot of value on a good strong heartbeat.
Agree. Anything.. Any decision in life is a risk/benefit analysis. Personally, I would leave that feature turned off, but I use and like Google's services. My personal comfort level fits well with what they are doing. Am I willing to give up my safety/security for a decent webmail service? My RBA indicates Yes! I also drive a car to work, and refuse to skydive. These decisions fit with my considered analysis of the risks and benefits of these behaviors. As long as they stay above board and transparent in what they are doing, I see no reason not to trust them. You could possibly draw a comparison with the trust level disconnect between IBM and SCO. We buy and use and trust IBM products because they have proven to be trustworthy. As for SCO, I wouldn't trust them to call me a cab. It's all in the RBA....
I'm wondering if this is an example of prozone/postzone serological sources of error. The paper mentions different pathologists using different levels of antibody. Only the higher level labs have workers that are developing their own procedures. I would be greatly interested in finding out the details of the antibody concentrations and how they relate to products being marketed by Ventana and other pre-packaged commercial kits for immunohistochemistry.
Didn't they leave a laser http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/21jul_llr. htm target on the moon, that is designed to bounce back a laser aimed at it? Perhaps if you could independently confirm the existance of that mirror, you could prove that there have been men on the moon. It would also give you the chance to play around with some cool high-intensity lasers as well!

No, Fission is the opposite of Fusion. They are both types of nuclear reactions.

I say we nuke'em from orbit.

Is to pull the plug.

But what about distribution man! EVERYBODY knows that it's the most important part of music!
