RE: [DDN] Missing the point .....

Taran Rampersad notes: Secret formulas like this bother me because they are secret. Hi again Taran, Something of an exaggeration to call something unpublicised secret, however yes, proponents of full disclosure will argue that anything unknown should be knowable by anyone - presumably it is

Re: [DDN] Missing the point .....

Taran, Thinking about Don's comments in disaster management (a field I know *nothing* about, so feel free to shoot me down on this) I'm inclined to think that public image / press / etc becomes an important factor. If this is a closed process, it is open to criticism only in being a closed

Re: [DDN] Missing the point .....

Ken, Unfortunately, I think you are contradicting yourself. You say that you disagree with the opportunism that Microsoft uses to pry into my computer under the guise of giving me a critical update ...however, there is nothing illegal in what Microsoft is doing. It was all there in an license

RE: [DDN] Missing the point .....

Ken - If we didn't have to prove over and over again that we have the right to use our version of Windows (or whatever) I would have such a beef. Plus, it is difficult to respect Microsoft's intellectual property when MS itself runs roughshod over other entities property and does it's best to

Re: [DDN] Add yourself to the DDN world map!

We wouldn't be able to use Frappr, then - we would have to set up our own Google Map from scratch. Technically this is possible. But there's no way this could be a priority in the short term, because the limited money DDN has is going to transferring DDN to TakingITGlobal, and hopefully

[DDN] bill gates transitions

I think the device has tremendous potential. And no, that's not just because I've been drooling on my keyboard reading the specs for the past month or so. Why? Because we're moving towards urban wifi in a big way. Chicago's taking unprecedented steps to ensure network neutrality and open
