I'd be happy to help anyone with excessive cash flow problems and can point to a project with an actual product you could get for the money, a product that would be delivered and invoiced within the fiscal year and an opportunity for your company at the same time to boost their corporate CSR and promise it would be a worthy FOSS project you'd support and one that needs your support. Any amount received would go to pay for programmers to work on applications and or hardware according to project needs. But if you are representing a serious entity, feel free to contact me through my personal website - Scammers please stay away, I have had enough fun with fighting against cyber criminals trying to twarth the efforts by destroying sites involved and thus using up precious time that should have been used for development instead funneled into cleanup operations etc. Though I would like a multitude of posters be quite suspicious to anyone just offering money as this has happened more than just once.

Because texting from cars is already highly illegal here :) "as in no more drivers license for you stupid...."

Sorry for the spelling mistake, should have been "the company" - I found it hard to hit the correct keys while typing... ;)

So Microsoft then company that wants to block any other operating system from running on computers by introducing their "safe" boot system. The same company claiming patents and is in my opinion blackmailing/extorting Linux companies, graciously want to let you sell your code through their APP store.... so that you can save them from going under.... pleeeeeeeeease! Somebody hurry and call the doctor I have this funny rippling effect going all through my body accompanied by odd abrupt sounds and I can't seem to get off the floor upon which I am rolling.

Too bad you posted that like an Anonymous Coward - Too funny! You just made my day :)

I guess they miss the times of good old STASI Time for STASI 2.0 - It's a beautiful new frontier!

The BeetleJuice Law Firm on behalf of AngryBeetle Inc. today launched a patent infringement suit against MIT. Their statement reads: It might be very well that MIT has developed something clever, but this is clearly an infringement of AngryBeetle Inc.'s patented water production method. The fact that you can help millions of people is irrelevant - we want our cash now!.... AngryBeetle Inc. and BeetleJuice Law Partners - have not been available for any further comments. Thanks to Alex for inspiration ;)

Given humanity is again advanced to a reasonable technical level a simple illustration aka this one from my children's fairy tale could work. http://einarpetersen.com/doku.php?id=fiordlings_imageexample Naturally a more stylistic approach with regards to what is drawn light source / a looking glass effect drawing, the media etc. but I'd think something like that should do it, maybe throw in a few 0 and 1's / images or whatever information is recognisable so that an experimenter would recognise artefacts ... Well just a thought - after all the human creature is one with imagination so whatever we'd try someone ought to be able to figure it out...

The Open Source Framework ushahidi from http://ushahidi.com/ might just enable the App developer to do what he wants for his audience with the use of a link imnstead. While Apple may, or may not engage in filtering links in their browsers, other browsers on the Apple platform should be able to convey the information properly - Apple could off course begin filtering content in other ways on your/their devices - But don't give up just because Apple are misguided regarding the sharing of information. This is exactly the reason to drop coding for iPhone or Android specifically - Create your stuff in HTML5 (the living standard) and they'll have a harder time shutting you up.

As a writer I don't mind people reading my stuff - heck I love to get constructive feedback, I do at the same time not particularly like to try to get involved with big media "lawyery" antics for now and NC & ND releases and asking people to contribute what they feel is the right price, is a better and more acceptible way for me to head down for now. I would as a content creator however feel rather cheated to see my characters exploited without seeing a single dime if it became wildly popular, so the option is to release as CC under ND and NC to insure that people don't just run off with an idea without prior agreement by me and secondly to ensure people do not try to profit on what I want to make available for free at least not without a consultation with me. I can understand it might be a nuisance to have to get in touch with me to be allowed to use my ideas or characters, but hey those are the terms. I as a writer just want to make sure that my audience gets my stuff with minimum hassle - that does not mean I am willing to sign away every right I have to my stuff or any opportunity to make a profit off it just because someone doesn't like to pay for it, while they themselves wish to do exactly that, i.e. make a profit. Thus the NC as in - If you want to use it comercially - get in touch with me. And the ND - If you wnat to introduce something into my "universe" we need to talk. There is nothing in the CC preventing me the owner from releasing to someone else under different terms - we just need to talk first. Throwing away the ND and NC from the CC license would make me go for a different licence as I wish to in some respect have an influence on what I create. Heck if someone threw a big bag of money at me I might just say feel free use as you please - but till that day - Forgive me but I'll stick to NC and ND.
