Welcome

WELCOME

Welcome to our little corner of cyberspace. We will try to present some insight into who we are, and maybe even who we want to become. We hope you enjoy your tour. If you share our interests, please let us know. The world is not as large as it used to be and there is no need to feel like strangers. 

Goings ons

Mary Alice has finished her Masters of Science in Software Engineering (MSSE) degree and now we are resuming the rest of our life. Richard has been playing with freenet lately. Richard was laid off from his last position at Dryden and is using the time to complete a BSEE at California State University at Fresno (CSUF). The SETI project has plenty of support so our spare cpu cycles now search for prime numbers. We are still racing homing pigeons too.

SCO sues the world

I took a professional ethics class recently and Intellectual Property (IP) was a big part of the engineering section. I have been amazed at how SCO Group, Inc. has abused the legal system with their outrageous claims. There is some humor though as found on this site. The idea is to simply label those litigious bastards. For a serious discussion about them losing some of these lawsuits, I suggest a closer look at the DaimlerChrysler decision on Groklaw.

A Rose by any other name!

Here is an interesting court document for residents of the USA who might want to watch legally purchased DVDs on a legally purchased DVD hardware device. You may want to exercise your First Amendment rights by publishing the source code contained in the appendix of this public record. Another option is to just visit this helpful law site.

And for the clueless segment of our society (MPAA lawyers especially ;-), here is your own copy of DeCSS.
