Okay, so how do you share the profits? By lines of code? Impact of the contribution? Haggling? PPP (Price per patch)?

And, moreover:
* What rights do I own in the parts that I receive royalties for? You say, I still own the rights. But you also say that I am restricted from creating profit with the software I contribute to. Why would I do that? Also, most of the code I contribute will most likely not be usable outside of the project.
* What do you do if the holder of a piece of code goes missing? (Not an uncommon problem, but it gets harder if money is involved)
* What happens if my piece of code is removed from the software, do the royalties fade?
* What happens if the body caring for all such things goes defunct? (Not unlikely, considering its a company)
* How do you foster a group of people that actually wants to take part in such a scheme?

Also, my point was that its is fundamentally non-"open". You can have any weird kind of profit scheme with source disclosure, but that doesn't make it open source.

As I said before: i see you don't want to make the jump of letting go of the (perceived) money, which I am fine with. But please don't use the word 'open' for that.

Support the older rev for a while (with multiple devices, not upgrading, blobs). When apple stops supporting an older device, next major release shifts the target to whatever the minimum iOS was on the next newest device when it shipped (usually just a few revs higher). This way, we support whatever hardware apple supports on every possible iOS. iOS 5 will make this trickier.

Also, if there are significant bugs on apples part in a particular iOS that hamper our app, we'll drop it early.

TrustFabric - Most ambitious startup ever
It's made to copy the JQuery 1.5 "Deferreds", and to copy JQuery's model that easy/common things should be easy, uncommon things should be possible but may be more complicated to write.

As for 'bonus features', the only thing I have that most S3 libs don't is support for the S3 feature of uploading very large files in parallel chunks.

It always comes down to the value you perceive in a product. The entire discussion about Windows vs Mac OS, or PC vs Mac is completely pointless. The only thing every customer should do, is to get to know the advantages and disadvantages about the product.

If the author couldn't find more advantages in a Mac, then the doubled price is worthless for him. I, however, can find a lot of value in Macs and I don't perceive Macs as overpriced.

"Your comment reads very mobbish."

Explain what "mobbish" means in the context of my comment. Because I disagree with your position, my comment somehow resembles 'mob' behavior?

"you can't go arguing that people should only disagree with you to the extent that you are able to ignore them"

What does that even mean? Sorry, but that's one huge straw man attack for something I didn't state. You're free to have your own opinion. I did not state otherwise.

Further, you state that I am free to disagree with an opinion, but then you state that I cannot have some opinion that you conjured up some argument on your own to misrepresent my position -- and then attacking that distorted position?
I think it's good to do things in tandem.

As soon as you've sent your first email to another company discussing potential partnership options, I would recommend sending an email along the lines of:

"Thanks very much for your interest in doing a deal with us. I've looked into your companies background, and I'm really impressed with what you've managed to build.

We're definitely looking for opportunities to partner with companies like yourself to expand our potential userbase, since we've had demonstrated success with this particular app we're keen to continue to build on this success and growth.

In the interests of being open and upfront, I should let you know that we're in discussions with other companies about potential partnership options.

We'll be in touch soon with some more information or questions on how we might be able to move forward."

I would recommend sending a message like that. It does a number of good things.

1. Reinforces your interest to work with that particular company
2. Reinforces your app and the success and growth it's having
3. Shows that you're an experienced operator since you're fielding other quotes, and you're a good operator, because you're being up front and honest about it.
4. Shows that you're in no rush to make a deal, and you'll deal with things in your own time.

All together that sends quite a powerful message, and lets you start negotiating from a position of strength. Which, really, you're in. You just need to realise it, and communicate it.
Hum - not to anyone else though - flagged as spam
Funny I should see this today. I was just reading the wikipedia page on "Simulacra and Simulation":

"Simulacra and Simulation is most known for its discussion of images, signs, and how they relate to contemporaneity. Baudrillard claims that our current society has replaced all reality and meaning with symbols and signs, and that human experience is of a simulation of reality. Moreover, these simulacra are not merely mediations of reality, nor even deceptive mediations of reality; they are not based in a reality nor do they hide a reality, they simply hide that anything like reality is irrelevant to our current understanding of our lives."

Edit on further thought:

If the products are the same, how is this more 'real' than a genuine apple store? They are both just a collection of signs, branding, processes and marketing.

What happens when stores in even smaller towns spring up, copying this fake apple store? What then is the reality? How far along do the copies of copies need to go, before they are totally divorced from the originals in America? Do they then become 'real' and genuine their own right?
OK, not anyone, but bragging about stuff you can be arrested for is still stupid.
How do they enforce that one, or even get a hold of your income to know how much they're missing out? Or is it just a general "set foot on this country again and it's prison time for you"?

No. Were you serious? Just downloading it is not illegal - it's using it to DOS someone that is illegal.

You can even DOS your own site with it and be fine. Just not someone else.
The fact that hackers are burned at the stake and made an example of, in America for crimes similar to 'reckless blocking of a store Entrance' is what will make our networks weak and feeble against the (100 to 1) army of professional hackers in India and China.

But I suppose if we get hacked by other nations we'll just get our hackers together and with their mad elite skills, will stop them. right? right guys? Oh yeah, PS, America has a massive shortage of security experts, if you are interested in hacking, call the FBI, they need you.
Fair enough. I agree with most of what you're saying here. I definitely believe that any punishment involving more than a fine and/or some community service would be disproportionate to the crime here.

What I didn't like was the statement portraying him as some kind of hero. I'm just pointing out that he's not. He didn't have a legal right to be using the documents, he shouldn't have been trying to download the documents using a guest account at MIT obtained by submitting false information, and he certainly shouldn't have tried to get back into the network after being banned multiple times.

If his goal was to put a lot of scientific papers into the public domain, I can think of many other ways he could have achieved this. So I'm also a bit puzzled by his approach here.

Stop being such a conformist and stop using their language.

This attack seems rather uncalled for.

Every time you test these boundaries and fight for it you will be fighting for your freedoms.

I can see where you're coming from on this, but I'm not entirely convinced that you're right.
> They're basically going to ruin a few kids' lives in order to deter other kids from "hacking" with things like LOIC.

They'll get probation is it's their first offense. Judges do have brains you know, and don't toss people in jail (or fine them) just because the prosecution wants them to.

But I doubt it'll go to trial. The prosecution will get lots of media out it (which is all they really want). Then they'll offer a plea bargain deal with probation, and that'll be all.
"civil disobedience is ok only if it causes just a small localized amount of inconvenience"

I never stated that. Personally, I believe it's far more efficient and more ethical to use a court system and support your representatives than disrupt a business illegally. We have courts and representatives for grievances.

Yeah there will be plenty off issues using npm. The native npm packages will most likely break. Npm has support for binary builds but I'm not sure most packages will have a completely separate build process set up for windows.

In the case of the mongodb package I'm deprecating the c++ bson parser as the js parser is as fast or faster than the c++ bson parser (v8 crankshaft and fast arrays rock) and this "should" make it work out of the box on the windows node.js build (crossing fingers)

VBoxHeadless - VirtualBox 4.0 On A Headless CentOS 5.6 Server
I like GitHub, and I am currently paying them, but I would rather their pricing structure match my needs.

If I had 5 massive repos, the price is perfectly fine. If I have 1 massive repo and 4 small ones, the price is out of whack. Especially since their cost is out of whack in that first scenario.
I realize your example is contrived, but a simple 'break' statement (which in essence is a goto...) would work just as well. :) I somewhat vaguely recall a situation in my C class that I wanted to use goto to avoid duplicate code but the professor had previously threatened huge negative points if his scripts detected one. (That whole semester was just as much about conforming your code to his narrow specifics because "that's what happens in the real world." as learning C.)

Unless you are deploying on Windows, why not run it under cygwin? You may end up with a lot of silly problems with file paths, case insensitivity and any other "impedance mismatch" between your development environment and whatever server the workload will run on.

I did a lot of Django development on Windows and Cygwin saved me a whole lot of pain.

No, they shouldn't allow the use of an application password. Application password are a hack to get around the fact there are so many apps that rely on Google that don't support 2 factor authentication. This does add some benefits like one permanent password and the ability to revoke it, but that is at the expense of security. Eventually normal password + token is how all apps using a Google account should function at login, so of course a new Google made app will function this way.

I am always amazed how experienced programmers can make such obvious errors when processing user input. Why would I ask for a URL of the WMT account in the query string?

For what it's worth, Jon Skeet of StackOverflow fame and C# fanaticism, thinks C# classes should also be sealed by default.

"I'd say it was just a mistake. I know many people (including myself) who believe that classes should indeed be sealed by default. There are at least a couple of people in the C# design team in that camp. The pendulum has swung somewhat away from inheritance since C# was first designed. (It has its place, of course, but I find myself using it relatively rarely.)"
What? You have better things to worry about at the moment?;)

Was not trying to be a jerk. I thought I was missing something.

Best of luck!
I find it quite puzzling that "cloud computing" is still so manual and (virtual) "server"-centric. Bumping up numbers in config is less work than gutting a rack to be sure, but surely there is room to apply Apple's hands-free design philosophies to cloud infrastructure?

Food for thought.
In my opinion, if you are developing for a Linux deployment on Windows it's easier to use VirtualBox to host a Linux OS.

Google+ Now Available on iOS
I really like the idea of being able to centralise all of my information and be able to control who has access to certain sections of it all from one dashboard.

Facebook has gone some of the way to doing this, with me being able to remove access to apps I've previously given access to; however, I'd like to be able to upload customize custom documents, such as my passport or proof of residence, and then be able to share them with specific companies.

It seems like TrustFabric may go some of the to enabling the above?

True, a PC with Linux on it is even better than a Mac.
But then it would be on their record, wouldn't it?
My first corporate issued laptop wasn't beefy enough to run Linux under a VM. Besides, it's convenient to have everything under one file space (moving things to and from the VM tends to be a pain - and if you get your email on Windows, important files will be, more often than not - on the wrong side). Add to that the fact Cygwin gives Windows a bunch of nice tools, langauges and a decent shell and windowed console.
It feels ambitious in a different sense than for which I'd normally reserve the word. Ambitious in the sense that it will be a long journey. But it feels like the success or failure of this will be tied much more to whether the market is ready for it (and whether for security reasons it's feasible) than how much sweat goes into it.

Thanks to SETUP the event is open to all free of charge, but you do need to register, so we have an indication of the amount of people interested.
