I'm not sure at this point, but seems that Adobe "Native Kernel" should stay Coercively Closed and Protected, else will collapse the whole Originated-From products and protocols, Adobe too can crash (Noah's Ark). Maybe a good balance for Adobe and it's Users is: Adobe owns the Kernel of the Product and Nobody Violates It, but should be permitted on a upper abstracted user level to be also open source cloned. I think the API should stay closed, but can be used from open source too. Also, who better than Adobe can build a Balanced Architecture Tree of permitted API? Only Adobe Can. We Users Cannot. Can seems little off-topic, forgive me, but can be a nice paradigm :: look at Leonardo Da Vinci book (his brain was so clever...) " 837. Though human ingenuity may make various inventions which, by the help of various machines answering the same end, it will never devise any inventions more beautiful, nor more simple, nor more to the purpose than Nature does; because in her inventions nothing is wanting, and nothing is superfluous, and she needs no counterpoise when she makes limbs proper for motion in the bodies of animals. But she puts into them the soul of the body, which forms them that is the soul of the mother which first constructs in the womb the form of the man and in due time awakens the soul that is to inhabit it. And this at first lies dormant and under the tutelage of the soul of the mother, who nourishes and vivifies it by the umbilical vein, with all its spiritual parts, and this happens because this umbilicus is joined to the placenta and the cotyledons, by which the child is attached to the mother. And these are the reason why a wish, a strong craving or a fright or any other mental suffering in the mother, has more influence on the child than on the mother; for there are many cases when the child loses its life from them, &c. This discourse is not in its place here, but will be wanted for the one on the composition of animated bodies--and the rest of the definition of the soul I leave to the imaginations of friars, those fathers of the people who know all secrets by inspiration. [Footnote 57: _lettere incoronate_. By this term Leonardo probably understands not the Bible only, but the works of the early Fathers, and all the books recognised as sacred by the Roman Church.] I leave alone the sacred books; for they are supreme truth. On the relations of the soul to the organs of sense. " So Adobe "Native Kernel" should Be Really Not Violated, it's evident. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers __________ NOD32 3685 (20081212) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
