FIGHT

Mugsy Moron v Bouncing Baby Joe 

Fifteen Rounds of Punishing Pugilistics by the Pundits of Puckery

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

For those of you dreading the fight? It's already over given the arguably furtive activity in .Net development available in news items alone. Somebody like Our Very Own Troll is in a fine place with many more resources the treeforters can only dream of. If we can put a circumstantial argument together in only a few posts given trivial random examples in internet news items, what in the world can a Nex/Lex sift come up with? And affidavits, Mein Gott dem affidavitsgeshoven... Vas das shitz?

Mood:  don't ask

"We live in a world where we honor, and support the honoring of, intellectual property,..." Steve Ballmer

"But!"
 

Well, some of us do, but Microsoft has demonstrated by their actions they do not. 

Essentially the comment in the blog post before this one tells us Emily was working with Java several years ago while Microsoft was actively working to duplicate the same kind of effort with Sun and Java during that time. I would not doubt Microsoft shadowed Emily development every step of the way... but, there's a problem here. Microsoft hid that development away after VCSY won the patent. The verbiage of Microsoft market-speak studiously avoided particular discussions and demonstrations of how they were accomplishing some of the hottest developments they were to be including in Longhorn, Yukon and a host of other projects that have been since gutted.

Since gutted. 

That's the first example of mens rea ( www.law.cornell.edu/wex/index.php/Mens_rea ) in that it may be shown Microsoft knew they were violating an intellectual property rule of some kind by shadowing the development of the dynamic very high level language Emily from at least 2001 through 2007.

They now come to a 'cease and desist' after believing all along VCSY would not survive as a business and they would have the advantage of head start on anything VCSY gave up during the expected bankruptcy.

Just one problem: VCSY didn't go bankrupt as planned.

Now Microsoft faces a patent judgment out of the blue ... unexpected, as it were ... one that will force them to pay according to their mental state as demonstrated in the past six years of .Net development and deployment.

They, in turn, must defend themselves by having the patent system declared non-valid.

Ordinarily, I would think VCSY would be quaking in their boots, even though the thought of Microsoft making good on their "promise" to sue seems ludicrous, the specter at being within the eye of such a storm can be daunting to anyone. VCSY is small. They have no protection beyond the courts. They have a history that far outshines Microsoft in the ability to deliver on a particular technological architecture they happen to have pioneered all through the dotcom era up to a point of maturation where they are ready to apply what they know to the world at large.

and an arrogant bumbling giant dances in with a tutu and a wand thinking they can make everyone think they've been doing the same thing for years.

If they have really been DOING it for years and they thought it really belonged to THEM THEY would be doing all that IBM and THEIR partners are.

Were that you Microsoft folks really did stand by the words you utter. Your representative, Mister Ballmer, says you all stand by the ethics of property and fair play. We shall see and we shall hear in the courts just what you've been doing all along. THEN I think the whole issue of intellectual property among deceitful hands will be demonstrated quite succinctly and glaringly.

The word is clear... if you are an inventor, Microsoft considers your software developments to belong to them because they are the biggest and they can hurt you and your friends and customers the most. 

Microsoft's ability via money shield to say one thing and do another is what the courts a hundred years ago had to deal with in terms of non-competitive monopolies and "control by size" tactics of the oil industry. If Howard Hughes' dad had not been protected by patents for drill bits (HELL It's just tiny shovels on a stick! How can you patent something like that?) there would be no aviation pioneer who's companies furthered the cause of technological freedom. That is what a patent can do in the right hands. And there are so few "right hands".

VCSY technology is on the forefront of actuation virtualization: the ability to hook all these proprietary industrial automation systems to a virtualized supervisor. The industry may go ahead and steal it from VCSY but the number of educated longs will make it one stinky fight, that's for sure.

 Microsoft may have all companies worried, but I would say to them, Fear not. Let not your hearts be troubled. You know they wouldn't be blowing a header valve like this if they weren't under enormous pressure. Let the beans boil on the pot and stop up the relief valve. Just stnad back when it blows/ Hot beans. Bad for the complexion.

Ballmer can always be counted on to act like an emotional twelve year old. This time he's going to defend himself from VCSY patent infringement by threatening to blow up the world.  My advice is to throw a cold glass of water in his face, take the broomstick away from him and send him to bed without supper. That's how you deal with a tantrum and one can just see the popped veins in Mister Ballmer's neck as he strains to shake the foundations of the earth... in the face of a tiny tiny little threat.

Such a shame. Such a juvenile lunge at first base. And the umpire of history is shaking his head.

Let's all watch just how much power Microsoft has against the open source world now. By admitting he has a puckered puker at the prospect of the VCSY patent threats, now Mister Ballmer has invited the circling sharks to begin tearing chunks out of Microsoft's reputation and image. They couldn't imagine it could be true so the quiet path would have worked a bit longer, I think. But, maybe there is no “longer” for him and he realizes he's cut Microsoft out of the Virtualization derby.

We still have a hardware patent that secures VCSY's place in history in the single fiber optical image transmission patent by Cruz.

Look, there... just over the horizon. Charles Northrup's patents can easily be seen as a corollary to the fiber optical system for some fantastically advanced autonomous intelligence systems... even without the VCSY software patents. The VCSY software patents embody a work done by the original thinkers in this area.

If VCSY's work does not count for unique and expert and novel, there are no new developments in software worthy of protection. 

If so, then, the no-patents world is right and nobody should make any money off the software they write. There's only one problem... the open-source world has been struggling and fitfully advancing through one dead end ringer after another... always doing what any designer and developer without a plan will do. That's acceptable when an individual inventor does so and comes up with something  that works eventually. But, when 'the inventor' is a mass of wannabees and noblets trying to feel up an elephant for a cameo view, the delay is intolerable. The cost to business is in productivity via enhancements to virtualization and arbitration. Something that has been with-held (and I say with-held by design) from the world at large due to Microsoft's inability to swallow the pill and introduce the supremo maximo XML software "work" they had been doing. Up to now no dice. No show. No cigar. No merchandise. Yes we have no bananas. Sorry Merv. It's just a pattern of alphabetic characters that anybody could assemble so give it up. All them quarters in the jukebox. Give 'em up and you can keep the casinos.

Silly duplicitous bastards. 

Why are we only now coming to the 'open-source' understanding and development in what SiteFlash and MLE have demonstrated? Have they been working in the dark? Did they not look at the patents? So they are only now "inventing it" in their shops? And what do we say to Mister McAuley and Mister Davison who were doing what you little titty-twisted-tadpoles are doing now back when you were peeing on your tricycle seat?

"Hey! I was doing that back in ought three!". Yeah? Did you bother to write it down and expend the energy to pursue a patent? Well, they did. And now you thieving little hyenas want to be able to do what the geniuses do with a 40 watt light bulb in an "Edison" socket.

You whining little mass of fleas looking for another dog to suck. Try being the first recorded with the US government administration tasked with recording intellectual property and then we will deign your words worthy of being considered by the true intellectuals in the world. The people who actually DO what all of the rest of your chicken lips peck at.

If an honest review of both VCSY patents are conducted, I would ask all participants to point out the machinery, computers, systems... whatever hardware that first demonstrated these "algorithms" at work and please award the prize for having achieved a novel invention to them.

And, while you're at it, would you please tell all the folks who write those other algorithms called "music" the thought police and the large corporations will be coming for them next. Why should THEY have to pay somebody who thought this stuff up? People have been whistling tunes like these for years!

Fools and blind. 

Numbchucks and nuglets all piled in a coconut shell and powered by greed and fear and envy to lusting. 

I think Microsoft's reaction in the above Ballmer Blowout demonstrates Microsoft's utter desperation at understanding what mens rea "is". That means they understand the law, their role in upholding the law, their perceived role in public as regards the things the VCSY intellectual property can produce (they were great guns for it up to 2004 then after that they feared saying), and when finally caught in a triangulation of their own makings (they DID make the first deal wit a Linux company by PAYING the Linux company Novell, did they not? Why? To save a failed interoperability project for Walmart by obfuscating and shifting the interoperations to a non-offending paradigm, namely Novell... The same Novell that knew much more about the pioneer work by Davison and McAuley because THEY WERE IN THE SAME FRICKING DISCIPLINES YOU NUMBSKULLS... as opposed to the Microsoft partners that knew about as much about network connectivity and distributed architectures as the Lone Ranger knew how to pack a wigwam. Just because you live close by and some of your friends do it, doesn't mean you know anything at all about the matter. Pack one in public and we'll talk..

That's the ace up the sleeve that would always prevent VCSY from being run into the ground by larger entities. That's why I believe Wade has it in his hot chubby habds.

It's a talisman to ward off the evil gnomes... so the gnome in chief, out of bitter frustration and as a "cry for help" to the world at large, turns to rend the townspeople for letting him get into this predicament. All our fault! All our fault!

One problem... VCSY have it and they have the patents and we will ALL have to trash the entire patent system to avoid poor Microsoft and their accomplices having to admit they wanted to steal the property of a very small company and their embattled shareholders.

My, my, my. Yes, yes, yes... the American legal system is a fine place to decide whether patents should be granted and stolen... or just gained by repression and duress.

Microsoft is fronting web-based data storage. Remember the patent Microsoft had that was supposed to mean they 'owned XML'? It was a patent for automating folders... Is this what they're able to field without stepping on IP toes?

Microsoft Locks Up XML Patent
By Alexander Wolfe
The speculation as to whether Microsoft (Quote) intends to patent XML (define) technology is over.

Microsoft has been granted United States patent  6,687,897 for "XML script automation."

The patent, awarded by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on February 3, appears to deal with basic XML functionality. Specifically, it describes a method for unpacking multiple scripts contained within a single XML file.

According to the application filed by Microsoft, the patent involves "systems, methods and data structures for encompassing scripts written in one or more scripting languages in a single file."

"The scripts of a computer system are organized into a single file using Extensible Language Markup (XML)," Microsoft's patent document continues.

The document explained that each script is delimited by a file element and the script's instructions are delimited by a code element within each file element. When a script is executed, the file is analyzed to create a list of script names or functional descriptions of the scripts.

Windows Live Folders beta - more info

As the last post on Windows Live Folders got a bit too long, here's further information on the Windows Live Folders service. Click to enlarge the screenshots.

After the intial signin to the service, the user is presented with the Folders homepage, showing the 3 folder types that can be created, as well as some default folders and a storage capactiy meter. After creating your own folders, these will appear on your homepage too. My storage meter says 250MB for the time being the beta should have more.

Windows Live Folders it not a difficult to use service, folder creation is straightforward, as it the uploading of files. Microsoft is aiming Windows Live Folders towards a large as market as possible, so the basic procedures need to be simple to promote adoption amongst the less tech-savy. The use of ajax to create new folders is nice, though the rest of the site could do with a little too. As we've seen with Windows Live Hotmail though, too much of a good thing can be bad.

And if you read this temporal layer cake you get to see the frosting is something that thawed out.

This is why Apple Leopard was rumored to be delayed the first time circa Mar 23, 2007. The 'rumor' proved to be true.

The date here is shortly after Microsoft shut down UDDI (formally along with IBM and SAP back in December 12, 2005 I know the article says December 16 but an original announcement had the December 12 date. Then, consider when UDDI was actually shut down being less than 30days from a projected January 16. Odd, isn' tit. There's a ton of those.) circa January 12, 2006.  UDDI defined.

But, then, something happened. VCSY longs believe the following comes after Microsoft received a 'cease and desist' on grounds of infringement by .Net (and thus all the products produced by .Net) against a VCSY patent US 6,826,744 . The consensus is that another VCSY patent and one pending even more severely impact Microsoft .Net and other Microsoft operations. Of course all of this is conjecture until somebody walks up to the microsophone and says 'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Apple reportedly to postpone Leopard to support Windows Vista

Apple is expected to launch its next generation Leopard operating system (OS) in April, but according to industry sources, the release of the new OS will be postponed to October to allow Apple to make Leopard support Windows Vista through an integrated version of its Boot Camp software.

Top secret features suspect in Apple's Leopard delay

Published: 12:00 PM EST

Apple Inc. has placed the blame for missing its self-imposed Leopard release date on its itty-bitty iPhone device, but analysts on Wall Street suspect other culprits -- such as a widely touted but so far elusive set of "top secret" features destined for the next-generation Mac OS.

Sure enough there was a gnat in the pudding. It festered a bit then came to a head.

Microsoft Viridian: Another Day, Another Delay
By: Clint Boulton

Less than a month after pushing back the delivery date for its Windows Server virtualization technology, Microsoft (Quote) today said that key features of the software will not be delivered in the second half of the year.

Viridian, a virtualization hypervisor (define), was supposed to arrive in the first half of the 2007 but was pushed to the second half of 2007.

Citing quality concerns, Viridian will not include Live migration, or hot-add resources for storage, networking, memory and processors, which allow developers to move, add or remove resources without taking the machine down, and it will limit support to 16 cores, or four quad-core processors.

Somebody's going to have to explain all this come Monday morning at the skeet range.

Microsoft's Virtualization Strategy is Doomed To Fail

Published Thursday, May 10, 2007 12:24 PM by Robert McLaws
Filed under: Virtual Server, Windows Virtualization, Virtual PC

I don't think Microsoft is "in it to win it" with Virtualization anymore. Mike Neil, GM of "Virtualization Strategy" announced today that Microsoft isn't putting out a beta of Windows Server Virtualization until Longhorn Server RTMs (which is in November, the last I heard). On top of that, they're going to be cutting some of the features they touted the most in previous public demonstrations; features such as live migration, hot-adding resources, and support for extreme multicore.

Now, normally this wouldn't be a huge deal...

See body of article at URL 

...Actions are clearly speaking louder than words here, and Microsoft is headed for a really embarrassing loss.

There was a point when I was really excited about what Microsoft was doing with Virtualization. I'm not anymore. I can't afford to wait another year for a virtualization platform that's been delayed and castrated. I was just getting ready to deploy a new web server network on Virtual Server, in anticipation of WSV. Looks like I'm going to have to look into VMWare instead. XenSource is shipping now, maybe I should take a look at their platform too.

I had such high hopes.

Memo From A Mob 

First, I would like to welcome our 556 readers here now. That number jumped to 556 from 350 the day before so there is an increase of interest representing that surge yesterday Friday May 11, 2007.

We're back to our normal 300-350 visitors on Saturday... so who were those 200 masked men? 

It do appear we've retained 100 new viewers out of that surge Friday. We're at around 425 as of 'yesterday' whatever yesterday means to the tripod visitor counter. Who knows.

 An Apology to the Linkless

There are two ways to read blog posts on this lycos/tripod site. One way you can simply go to the day the post was made and scroll down to the post and read.

The other concerns the "Permalink" at the bottom of each page which is the link that will take you directly to that page when you hit it somewhere.

But, there is a problem with the way permalinks act on a permalink page. The permalink from a blog page derived from the date the blog was written gives a correct Permalink movement.

What can you expect? It's free and it's brought to you by the same people who couldn't hang on to all RagingBull posts prior to January 21, 2003 due to a "technical error".

Seeing how they put this environment together I can somehow start believing the bull.

Anywho. Until tripod can figure out what to do, (get cute or work right) ALL PAGES are best viewed via the calendar selection and not the permalink pages until tripod finds out people actually use these functions. Apparently the designers didn't use the product they built. Shame but common in the traditional programming paradigm.

Sorry for the inconvenience. It's a huge surprise and disappointment to me and underlines why SiteFlash capabilities should have been available back in 2001 when this whole ball game started.

So sorry for the mess. Suck it up it's free. And you might get rich reading.

POSCASH Goes Hmmmmm. Makes me go Hmmmmmmm also. If it doesn't make you go hmmmmm maybe your should look up IBM + Power + empath and think about virtuallized hardware and hard resources (like air conditioning to name a compfort resource).

Msg. 185129 of 185131

You know what also makes me go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm????????

As some of you discussed this week Mr. Wade seems to like to give the
longs little puzzles or clues to keep us thinking while they are
in stealth mode. Just this week IBM announced ways to cut energy costs up to 80% with Virtualization Technology in data centers. Funny how Mr. Wade mentioned problems with IBM power consumption in Boston to Explore98. He also mentioned Verizon if I recall. This to
me was a clue from R.W.!

Yesterday, Verizon made this update announcement regarding the Networx Universal contract that they were awarded in March:

http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/NYF07511052007-1.htm

Since we know that we are working with Verizon Business through Now
Solutions (Empath) from the PR back in January 07 and that on March 14th 2007 VCSY made this announcement:

Vertical Computer Systems Strengthens Security Suite Offering By Acquiring Exclusive Rights for StatePointPlus in Government and Healthcare in the United States and Canada

I believe that Mr.Wade left us another clue by adding a picture on
Verizons website from the Verizon Federal Network Security page.
This picture has the same 4 people sitting at a table wearing the same clothes (although posing differently) as the picture on VCSY's
website. Here is the link from Verizons site:
http://www.verizonbusiness.com/us/govt/ent_svcs/security/

Here is the link fro VCSY's site:
http://www.vcsy.com/aboutus/corporateprofile.php

Now I have been looking at many different technology websites and have not seen picures with these same people so I believe this picture is a clue from Mr. Wade that we are involved with the Network Security for the Verizon Federal Governments Networx contract! Think about it..... Vertical Computer Systems Strengthens Security Suite Offering By Acquiring Exclusive Rights for StatePointPlus in Government and Healthcare in the United States and Canada

This security is the best available according to Mr. Wade and we have exclusive rights to market it to the US Government! Why would'nt
it be used for the Networx contract? Really makes you go Hmmmmmmmmm!

I will keep a list of interesting items for your perusal here.

WARNING: You should be at least a novice treeforter before attempting to assess any of this for value to your favorite koolaid recipe. Not being snobby or clickee but you will need a good bit of reading to gain background enough to know how to make the assumptions here... which no-one should be making assumptions in the first place.

None of them may be assumed to be associated with VCSY except for coincidental matching by date and description. Other dates and descriptions should be correlated against other background information before anything should be assumed.

THAT BEING SAID, there are a heck of a lot of coincidences in behaviour and events that beg to be dug through for associations and assumptions. 

Red Hat Summit 2007: Day 1 - desktops and licenses

Thursday May 10, 2007 (06:31 PM GMT)

By: Joe Barr

excerpts:

...big news was Red Hat's announcement of plans for Global Desktop, a partnership with Intel that is scheduled to go live this summer. Global Desktop will see hardware and software combined in a single offering, apparently aimed at expanding the Linux market in developing countries. ...

The new desktop brings the Red Hat total to three: Fedora for hobbyists and developers, the Enterprise Desktop for corporate worker bees, and now Global Desktop for developing nations...

... Professor Eben Moglen of Columbia Law School... explained the flurry of activity by Microsoft in disposing of the coupons it purchased from Novell for copies of SUSE Linux. Time pressure is building around the use those coupons because of the pending arrival of GPLv3. The new license is scheduled to become available for use in December, and it turns the very weapon Microsoft sought to use against the Linux community -- its patent portfolio -- against Microsoft.

The first draft of GPLv3 attempted to prevent the use of patents as weapons to deprive users of rights by requiring that software developers provide keys for any DRM mechanisms which might stop users from being able to examine or modify the GPLed code. Under the latest draft, any patent protection offered to customers of a GPLed product are automatically extended to all downstream users. In the agreement between Novell and Microsoft, for example, SUSE Linux customers are afforded protection from the threat of patent infringement suits by Microsoft. Under the GPLv3 license, this same agreement would extend that protection to anyone and everyone, thus neutralizing Microsoft's patent weaponry. This explaining why Microsoft is dumping its SUSE coupons to Wal-Mart, Dell, and elsewhere as quickly as it can.

The day ended with an outdoor dinner party hosted by IBM on the hotel grounds, with a view of sailboats and small craft sailing past. IBM also included blinking-LED-lined red sunglasses and frisbees as party favors.

Intellectual Property Protection and Code Obfuscation

"Who can afford to do professional work for nothing? What hobbyist can put three man-years into programming, finding all bugs, documenting his product, and distributing it for free?"

The recent Microsoft Windows source code leak has raised serious concerns in security intellectual property protection circles. Software, being an intangible yet highly valuable commodity, is now indigenous to organisations in various forms. But its theft and disassembling is more dangerous to an organisation than any other replaceable entity being burgled. Its theft or leakage, in part or in full, impacts an organization's credibility and increases the risk of exploitation of bugs, which may be found inside the code and improperly gives a leading edge to competitors.

It's rare that a proprietary OS's source code gets posted on the Internet, but if this worries you, how about distributing a program, which retains most or all of the information present in original source? With constant advancements in operating systems architectures, we are now living in a world where major platforms, .NET and J2EE, rely on virtual machines (VM) to facilitate the generation of intermediate code, which could be executed on any machine, in principle. The slogan of 'Write Once Run Anywhere' sounds very attractive but considering the code is exposed through a virtual machine, there are various security measures that need to be taken. Since the intermediate language can be disassembled back into source, your highly valued commodity is in danger. In this article, I'll discuss the potential perils in the VM arena, how virtual machines work, what code obfuscation is, how open source reacts to intellectual property and what the steps in execution of a CLR based program are. In this article we'll also discuss how .NET's Reflection APIs work and how we can read a Portable Executable using it. Let us explore these topics in detail. Welcome to the uncharted waters of .NET.

A virtual machine, as its name depicts, emulates a hardware machine by using software. However, the architecture is not bound to any physical machine but instead is supported through an interpreter, which executes the code. A VM provides a security "sandbox" to protect the underlying resources. The idea of a VM is not new; it dates as far back as 1965 with Andrew Tenenbaum and the IBM VM emulation, which is now IBM System 370 (S/370) and IBM System 390 (S/390). This chronology is discussed by Tennenbaum and William Stallings as well as at GMU's Web site under the history of Virtual Machines. Knuth's famous MMIX is another example of 64 bit RISC VMs used in his three volumes "The Art of Computer Programming", a classical text in computer science.

Now, Imagine a virtual machine being virtualized. Kinda kinky, eh? What's got them stumped in the Microsoft laboratories? Can't screw the bolts back in to Frankestein's neck? Stripped a thread? Crossthreaded the little bugger so bad the nut can take both ways home at the same time? Ouch. Does anybody know how to separate them? No? Start over? Ouch.

This was the day they put my poor nuglets to rest.... they were the best... color them messed. 

The secret to life is not misbehaving when endeavouring as a node and ..."As in real life, nodes try to earn as much nuglets as possible.".

This chart shows how to make sure the spy v spy stays in black and white.
