I managed a software development shop way back when. Soon after taking it
over
my team had to file copyrights and create escrow tapes (required by our
contracts with clients). I talked with the team manager responsible for
creating
the tapes to be filed, and he casually revealed that no one in the
industry ever
bothered to actually create the machine readable media for such
filings. They
just shipped in balnk media since no one would ever use or review
them and
creation in a usable form was really hard. In later jobs I found that
attitude to be
universal. So I became the lone voice in the industry demanding
audit of
machine readable media. BTW my first development shop was in San
Francisco.
Sounds like Sun Micro carried the same thinking as my staff. Come to
think of,
it could have been the same programmer.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"The referring court takes it as read that, by
downloading computer programs
from Oracle’s website or from
a storage medium to the main memory of additional
computers,
UsedSoft’s customers perform acts of reproduction within the
meaning of Article 4(1)(a) of Directive 2009/24 which
infringe Oracle’s
exclusive right of reproduction.
Moreover, since Oracle’s licensing
conditions state that the
user right is ‘non-transferable’, the
Bundesgerichtshof
points out that Oracle’s customers cannot lawfully transfer
the right of reproduction to UsedSoft, which, consequently,
cannot transfer it
to its own customers. link[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Physicists from the University of Zurich have discovered a
previously unknown particle composed of three quarks in the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) particle accelerator. A new baryon could thus be detected for the
first time at the LHC.
The baryon known as Xi_b^* confirms fundamental
assumptions of physics regarding the binding of quarks.

He sources Groklaw for some of the information. Get that -

So I wanted to poke around the included library source archive in JDK 1.5.0
(a/k/a Java 2 5.0). I only have update 13 to hand at home; and I don't have
remote access to the office. So download from the archive, right?
http://java.sun.com/ has been down since late last night....
(And downforeveryoneorjustme.com says it's not just me.)
You can't even get there from oracle.com; they just point at java.sun.com for
Java for Developers.
http://openjdk.java.net/ is in the same boat.
http://www.java.net/ says the site is under maintenance. Still. It's at least
12 hours now--whoever is running that site should never be hired for anything
public-facing.
But that could just be a custom version of the page you get when the Web server
is up, but the Tomcat (or WebSphere) server is down. I know the reverse proxies
I run all say "Maintenance is in progress" when the Tomcat server
crashes. (Again.) Or you stop Tomcat, or reboot and it didn't start right,
or... well, let's just say that screen has never come up when I was _actually_
doing maintenance. (When I actually do maintenance, I put my own slide in
place.)

Political corruption in New Zealand has always been laughably trivial compared
to the
Northern Pacific (both sides). So this story is an order of magnitude
leap in our sleaze stakes,
while still trivial in northern terms.

Many thanks for the links to each update. In a large work, such as this, it is
most helpful.
