I dont have time to watch an hour long video. Can someone summarize? How do you address content without location? Is this the idea of p2p replicated content so that the network kno…

actually the courts have explicitly said that the DMCA can't be used to prevent interoperability. This is a well known case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chamberlain_Group,_Inc.…

anybody have any idea how this might compare to mysql inno or myisam?

I agree 100%. His response doesn't make sense from the entrepreneur's perspective. Using his strategy, no one would ever make cold calls because they are annoying to the recipient.…

Indeed. I commented on something and only discovered accidentally that my comment could only be seen be me, which is a horrible way for things to work. Your comment is hidden and y…

This is incorrect. The difference is that lazlo and flex are tools that build fixed binaries. They are the equivalent of a c++ compiler. This is designed to be like html. That mean…

if you can "modify" the server side and the client side, you can "modify" the need to pay.

what a whacko. I should allow you to access my servers and services for free? I should allow you to control how you use my resources in a way that guarantees I loose money? Stallma…

I see. I wonder if this philosophy works at Apple. Do you really think apple products would be better if Steve Jobs always deferred to his staff by saying "you're the expert." Ridi…

I disagree. He bases his argument on the idea that rent control causes high rents as demonstrated in places like NY. This is patently false in my opinion, but my opinion is not wha…

lol.I am not going to opine about their entire body of work. But if you think they never have the problem of which I speak then clearly you didnt read the rent control article whic…

Based on the article posted here on rent control the other day,it does indeed seem as though greenspun uses the same unsubstantiated assertion strategy for building arguments as do…

These are nothing but assertions of fact which are really unsubstantiated opinions. It is striking to watch people engage in this level of intellectual onanism. I dont mind people …

according to readwriteweb it will include js,html, and silverlight, as one would expect. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/microsoft_office_comes_...

Well, perhaps, but really it is one of the apps that, when it came out, helped define the term. So one would have to call it retrospectively silly. In my mind any terms can be sill…

That is one axis. But would you say that, for example, gmail is a web 1.0 app since it is not at all about social media or collective intelligence?

No, I am not taking Apple to task for anything. And I am, I hope, not ranting. I am simply saying that people should not over-estimate what will come of Grand Central, or any multi…

Yes, but I dont think the blogging systems have this since every blogger would have to have his/her own TOS and could not be covered by a blanket wordpress or typepad TOS.

"The rights afforded artists under copyright laws are not natural rights" There are no such thing as "natural rights" - only rights that we as society agree are beneficial. IP righ…

"you can be economically successful as a band without selling a single record." hmmm... good luck with that.

Yes. You are absolutely right. I view everything through the lens of economics. My view of success is making money. I don't think anyone has yet been able to make money without fir…

You are right. But sometimes authority and experience are relevant. I cant help that I really do know what I am talking about on this matter. I guess I could go out and interview s…
