coderman: "The report concludes, "Sooner or later, it is reasonable to expect the appearance of "bio-hackers."

coderman: "ATF agents are always on alert for anything suspicious - including ninjas."
coderman: "Seeing someone with something across the face, from a federal standpoint - that's not right," McLemore said
coderman: "This photo shows ATF officials pinning down Jeremiah Ransom in front of Snelling dining hall. He was coming from a pirate vs. ninja event at the Wesley Foundation and was not arrested." -- LOL, apparently ATF > pirate|ninja

coderman: "But at least one student, Cody James, said he was disappointed that he couldn't get in to speak with the military personnel.
coderman: ""It's frustrating,'' said James, a senior majoring in politics. "I'm not a Republican. I'm not a conservative. I don't support the war. It's about finding a career and getting paid to kill motherfuckers with a machine gun. rawk!"

Groklaw: UK patent office seeking comment by May 31 on how easy/hard should it be to get patents
posted by scone_of_stone at 2006-04-13 12:44

scone_of_stone: nice quote from the ensuing discussion: "ISTR that non-patentability of mathematics is part of the law. IANAL so I may miss something here. But if arguments based on this part of the law are meaningless to patent lawyers, I would say they must be[come] educated. The bulk of the problem is we are dealing with people that absolutely want to treat ideas like property and this gets in the way of education."
scone_of_stone: hahahaha i laugh in your generic direction, you monkey-bottommed brain farters!
scone_of_stone: the discussion on computation == mathematics == not patentable is excellent. so sue me, you fucking MPAA twads.
scone_of_stone: I'm gonna patent my next novel.
fridge: I'm gonna patent the process of you patenting novels
scone_of_stone: patent loop! I patent patent loops!
scone_of_stone: "Boulder venture capitalist Brad Feld suggested the government do away with all software patents. He said the main reason software companies obtain patents is to defend themselves against infringement suits."
scone_of_stone: using the hanging threat of a tit-for-tat revenge suit war
scone_of_stone: remember, nobody wins in an arms race.

The classic Microsoft letter to the world to "get stuffed"
posted by scone_of_stone at 2006-04-13 10:26

scone_of_stone: aka open letter to hobbyists by william henry gates iii 1976
scone_of_stone: "open letter" .. I guess this is what scott m fulton iii meant by saying "In a strange way, Microsoft pioneered the concept of open-source software."
scone_of_stone: I wonder if I can amend the letter and release my own version ...
scone_of_stone: What cost $2 in 1976 would cost $6.87 in 2005.
scone_of_stone: stark contrast between gates '76 "time spent on Altair BASIC worth less than $2 an hour" and balmer '06 "the [open source] guy has no cost structure" ... is this company truly trying to help develop open source? pay my fucking rent, gateso.
scone_of_stone: instead you guys leach my univeristy dry so you can buy your yachts. you software isn't worth $2 an hour, which is probably more than you pay half your developers even today, you scabs.
scone_of_stone: and wherever, remarkably, the os does work, it's becauswe you frigging "stole" it yourselves!
scone_of_stone: and it still took you forever to make that work
scone_of_stone: more balmer "people want... intellectual-property indemnification... We know how we are competing, and it's working. We just have to keep running the same playbook hard."
scone_of_stone: aka "WRITE OPEN SOURCE => FACE LAWSUIT"
scone_of_stone: "we owe it to our shareholders"
scone_of_stone: /me pukes
