Comment Preparing for impact *winces* (Score 1) 375
NO matter how much code you still from someone you still need to be able to implement it properly. The same goes with ideas (note "re-inventing the wheel").
It would be better for consumers and coders alike if we all didn't spend so much time holding our cards close to our chests.
Trying to control information and claim rights to it because you are the first person to think of it is futile and dare I say wrong. If we had dealt responsibly with the leaps in technology when they happened then this would be moot.
However, we did not.
If you are first to put a product on the market you still get to ride the wave. I takes time for someone to develop a product that is similar UNLESS they were already building it.
This is another way for people who don't really do anything except slow the flow of information down to benefit without serious work or bringing anything to the table themselves. No one can win from this except the lawyers.
Sorry ... they are imaginative innovators. They never cease to amaze me with the creative ways in which they coerce us into hurting each other for their profit.
I appologize to anyone this offends, it is not my intent.
