Good point -but a tactical one.

A provisional patent  can be  a deterrent to competitors and copiers.

1. relatively cheap
2. the spec remains secret
3. delays legal and filing fees
4. relatively easy to write
5. enables the product to be marked patent pending
6. Gives a startup a head-start in market development

However -  being able to protect an idea in the interim is far from being a
sufficient condition for success.

The other factors - a really divergent idea, a new market space, a clear
strategy and perfect execution  are overwhelmingly more important.

Let me put it this way - more startups fail because of personality issues
with the founders than because some bad people stole an idea that could have
been protected by a provisional patent.

 Why are software ideas different than any other ideas? Not only does your
 last statement make no sense, it discriminates against software developers
 and is totally unsubstanisated.

 While I very much support FOSS (and public domain software, which  is what
 it was called before people started to make money off of it), I support the
 right for people who invent new software to protect their rights. Copyrights
 do not protect them enough, it still allows someone who is as smart or
 smarter than they are to take their idea and sell it.

 I have had many conversations with a competitors about startups that had
 interesting ideas that made them unique. The conversations always go
 something like what makes them different is that they do xxx and we don't,
 I ask when will you have it, and they answer something like next week.

 Very soon everyone does it, and the startup disappears, taking with it the
 life savings of the seed investors. I can't speak for anyone else, but the
 people I know are relatively honest, if the startup had filled a US
 provisional patent and claimed (as their right) patent pending technology
 they would not.

 I also have had experience with people who are not as honest and do it
 anyway, but that's a different subject.

 It's even happened in the last few months to someone on this list, they
 announced their existance and looked for employees on this list, which
 caused a competitor who is a lurker to look at their web site and a week
 later we had the exact conversation I mentioned above. He has a big company,
 they were one or two people looking for some part time employees.

 Is that the effect on the software industry you wish to have?

IMHO you are taking it too far. Success is the result of many factors.  
Just having a good idea, a patent, a good business plan, honest  
competitors, etc does not guarentee success. In fact nothing  
guarentees success, and going by the numbers (75% of all startups fail  
in the first year), one can almost guarentee faliure.


Based upon Israeli statistics, about 38% of all companies fail in the  
first year, you could question that. The Israeli statistic defines a  
company as either incorporating or filing for a business tax number,  
which explains the difference. Most startups start and disapear which

That's irrelevant to the discussion of patents. It's very relevant to  
the discussion in general, but IMHO, no matter how good the idea, how  
new the market space, how well the people get along and  how good the  
product will be, if someone else markets it first, with a bigger/ 
better development team, more money, etc, there is no way the small  
company will succeed.


In countries that do allow software patents, not filing one, or  
announcing your intention to file one, may be considered the same as  
releasing an idea to the public domain, so one can legally and  
ethicaly use your idea without stealing it. In the US, you have one  
year from date of first publication to file a regular patent  
application, or your idea becomes public domain.


This whole discussion has been about tatics, AFAIK there was no  
technology discussed at all. Releasing an idea to the public domain is  
a tactic too.


Going back to the original topic, Microsoft as a publicly traded

Re: [YBA] i4i vs MS?

2009-08-16 Thread Danny Lieberman

The Microsoft example is central to the discussion.   The empirical data is
that more innovation is done by big companies (IBM, Microsoft, Intel,
Google) than by small independent inventors - they have the money to hire
smarter people,  the synergy,  the infrastructure and legal  to protect
their IP.

For sure - a small 3 man startup can have a brilliant idea but even if they
spring for a  patent - the threat of infringement is symmetrical.   In my
opinion, most software patents fail in obviousness, prior art and
disclosure.  Patent litigation is expensive, and defending yourself even
against a bad patent may cost a fortune - which startups don't have.
Consider NTP (patent troll) vs RIM (Blackberry).

This is why VC's always ask for patents but quickly move on to the more
substantitive questions of Total available market, execution and
break-through strategies.

I challenge you to bring one example of an Israeli startup that was able to
profitably monetize their idea with software patent licensing. Patent trolls
like Aerotel and NTP don't count.

Then there is your notion of first mover advantage;  most new ideas these
days take a long time to penetrate the market - you can develop software in
3-5 months but it still will take 3-5 years for the business to grow and
take root  (assuming you have all the other pieces in place).

Actually - companies often develop IP with the intent to monetize their work
via licensing deals - it's good business if you don't have the mfg and
distribution capability.

For example - patent licensing is huge business in pharma and
semiconductors.  Take the biological drug - Remicade for example -developed
by Centocor and licensed by JJ and Schering Plough.

In the software space  you have companies like IBM, Novell, RedHat and Sun
that offer royalty-free patent licenses.

Then there is crypto, games and gaming  - the list is endless.  BTW -
Microsoft buys licensing rights all the time - for example

[HAIFUX LECTURE] Sockets in the Linux Kernel (2) - Rami Rosen

2009-08-16 Thread Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda
On Monday, August 17th, Haifux's 10th birthday, at 18:30, with the
airconditioner on, Haifux will gather to hear Rami Rosen
talk about:

   Sockets in the Linux Kernel (2)

Abstract
We will deal with the implementation the following sockets in the Linux
kernel:

   - Raw sockets.
   - Unix Domain sockets.
   - Netlink sockets.
   - SCTP sockets.

We will discuss the following topics:

   - how raw sockets are used in the familiar ping and traceroute utils.

   - The usage of Unix domain sockets as an IPC (Inter process
   communication) mechanism.
   - Netlink sockets as a messaging subsystem between kernel and userspace
   (including rtnetlink and generic netlink)
   - examples demonstratting Netlink sockets usage
   - SCTP sockets : one-to-one style and one-to-many style.

This lecture is the sixth in the Linux Kernel networking lecture series; it
a sequel to the following lectures:

   - Linux Kernel Networking: http://www.haifux.org/lectures/172/

Re: Fwd: Flash based games not working

2009-08-16 Thread Akiva
Just a few notes on WeJew.com streaming...

WeJew is hosted in the US.  We've been tweaking our streaming methods to
improve streaming for Israeli users.  Here's what we've done and what we've
found...

a - We did basic progressive video file streaming using Apache.  A number of
Israeli users reported slow downloading / streaming.

b - We switched to lighttpd as the streaming method, first on port 81 then
on port 8080.  Lighttpd is noted as being much faster than Apache (and has
lower server overhead), but we received a number of problem reports.  First
that the video loader just spun the 'waiting' icon and never loaded, and
second that the stream loaded extremely slowly - and this was particularly
noted on 012.net (the worst) and somewhat on Netvision.

We identified the first case as being as overly strict firewall settings,
which we were able to overcome with some player adjustments in most but not
all cases.  Some research led us to believe the case with the Israeli users
was specifically due to ISP traffic shaping.  We did experiments and found
that some protocols were consistently slow and yet others were not to our
servers from Israel, a clear sign of traffic shaping.

Interestingly, we did some additional testing to France and don't seem to
find a similar pattern.  Our guess is that some Israeli ISP's are throttling
traffic on their US backbone connections, with a focus on P2P and video
streams.

c - We switched to a http pseudo-streaming script (xmoov-php).  As soon as
we did this our Israeli customers with download delays immediately reported
a major improvement.  Even though we implemented this script with bandwidth
throttling!  Since this is delivered on port 80, the firewall issues also
were removed.  As a negative, the per-memory use on our server for each
download stream is much heavier, but fortunately memory cost is not that
high.

If anyone has suggestions on improving flash stream loading, we'd certainly
be happy to hear about it and try any suggestions.

  You should see a list of players in the central window.
  (The same problem appears with damka, chess, etc. on this site)

 Works for me.
 I could pick a game to watch and watch it being played.
 Hebrew chat between the players appeared in reverse.

 Using Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit. Plugins windows lists Shockwave Flash
 10.0 r32 (I keep my system up to date).

 BTW - about the long link - there are numerous sites to shorten links,
 e.g. http://tinyurl.com/ and http://bit.ly/

 Hi,
 I just bought the above mentioned phone. Does anyone knows a good
 software which replaces it's 2 in 1 software so the phone can sync
 with Skype the contacts?

 Thanks,
 Hetz

   
Could you elborate on it ? (lsusb).
You might take a look on usbph module (provide the ability sync the
phones and numbers).
Also you can use libhid and libusb to access if it is like the Skuku
type (aka Holtek / GoodCom WJT603).
If it is like the 604 version there is file you can access (to get the
contacts) and to write to it (VCard afair).

Here is what could have been done to make things better. The client  
issues a request for a project at cost+, asking for a discount on  
the hourly rate in exchange for a significant bonus in case the  
project is delivered on time. Mathematically speaking, this offer is  
identical to the above offer, but as it is phrased in positive  
rather than negative terms, it is much easier to approve. This, of  
course, means that it can start much earlier, and have a better  
chance of succeeding.






Dear Shahar.

I agree with all that you wrote above and I snipped, but this last  
paragraph shows you have taken leave of your senses. I have known you  
for many a year and this is proof positive, in my opinion, that you  
have finally cracked. Where do you buy your psychedelics? On the  
surface, what you write above is indeed reasonable, but there is a  
total disconnect between it and reality. Reality you are acquainted  
with. And, in fact, reality I am acquainted with. ;-).


Seriously, dear chap. You are writing something entirely reasonable  
about the israeli outsourcing market. Tell me who your dealer is. :-)


Love ya!
