The biggest problem is it's best read right to left.

It's not even that. It just says unnecessary details are unnecessary. It's better to think of it as a rule for constructing theories than for evaluating theories.

Put your pants back on. People don't need a contract to complain. I bought an ipad because I thought the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. I still do. For now, I'll occasionally post about the advantages & occasionally also compl

In my opinion, the ipad excels when you're reading anything more complex than a linear novel. I used to own a DX, & I'm sure you can find posts of me praising it... until I got an ipad. The DX is just barely big enough to read arxiv pdf

When it comes to products with strong network effects, you really don't. Sometimes an inferior product (i should say platform) can take over a market simply because it was there first. You can find any number of examples of this in the tech

Do you know what's state of the art then? I've touched on most of these & wouldn't mind learning more.

Might also want to check how topcoder did it. They're not perfect (like WoW) but they've built a huge company on free labor, basically. WoW gets the serfs to pay for it.

Ok, but how many people never get the settlement? And it's not like any of the people in power learned anything. That's tax money.

The bugs just aren't visible enough. For example look at MMOs & how they attract new users. Tasks are clear, there's always an easy training level, & difficulty slowly ramps up to keep people engaged & interested. I might sugges

Dangerous in what sense? He's making an ethical argument, not a legal or economic argument, as you're implying. It's all gossip, unlike (say) wikileaks.

Why didn't he move? First thing I would have done is skipped town to Japan or something, & maybe come back after a decade.

He's about the worst PR possible for free software. I like his code & I mostly drink the kool aid, I do, but he really needs to let Eben Moglen do the talking..

There are no direct effects, but there are indirect/secondary effects. For example you won't find OSS nagware/crippleware/popupware because any developer knows someone else will just cut the annoying parts out. Or you personally may not pro
