Here we are in history where the cattle have broken into the feed crops. They won't stop eating until the landowner has been consumed. There is no escape. There is only a price to be paid and it will be taken by those who will crap out the landowner's riches into the dirt.

It could have been different. But those who believe they are entitled to power have deluded themselves and left no way of escape.

Synchronization of data is a fundamental part of interoperability. Without synchronization there is no virtualization.

VCSY's patents demonstrate sync as a basic quality. Apple had to delay virtualizing Leopard at the same time Microsoft had to delay virtualizing. Right after VCSY sued Microsoft in 2007.

Clearmethods are small fry and there are plenty of other similar open source XML-based languages out there. They aren't very popular amongst developers, who dislike working with XML syntax. Homegrown extensions of XML overflooded the IT world years ago, which is one reason why it never caught on all that much, and is also why they had to invent HTML5.

Show them to us and explain how they do what Clearmethods is able to do.

Clearmethods products are the closest thing to the VCSY IP description publicly seen in the industry. The fact you can't confront that means you haven't gotten your talking points yet. Probably because the guy writing the talking points is stymied and unable to confront so you get left hanging.

Smallfry or not their XML methods are doing things the rest of the industry can't do.

Clear Methods' Language Gets Cool Greeting
The object-oriented language is being greeted with skepticism by programmers, development tool suppliers, and Web-services consultants.

By Charles Babcock InformationWeek

The notion that the world needs XML as a procedural programming language is being greeted with skepticism by programmers, development tool suppliers, and Web-services consultants.
[...]
http://www.informationweek.com/news/12800989

"XML can be used to express procedural logic. It would be on the verbose side, but it can be done," said Sam Ruby, VP of the Apache Software Foundation, the open-source group that develops the Apache Web server. Ruby is also a member of Apache's XML Project Management Committee--that is, a programmer with the authority to commit new code to the Apache XML project's repository. "I don't see many people wanting to learn such a language. Perhaps such a language could have a niche as the target of code generation ... by a wizard in an IDE," he said in an E-mail response. Ruby is a Java programmer with IBM.

Water code would require the Steam Engine run-time environment. Clear Methods unveiled an upgraded version 3.10 of Steam Engine on July 15.

"A specialized run-time environment is a big minus," Ruby said. That's because the run-time environment must already be installed on target systems where Water code is slated to run, or a user must first download the engine and install it before getting the benefit of Water code, experienced programmers says. Users balk at downloads they don't understand or need approval from higher corporate authority to add to their desktops.

XML as a programming language "is a cute academic idea, but nothing more than that," Brad Young, director of product marketing for Zend Technologies Ltd., said in an E-mail. Zend produces an integrated development environment for the PHP scripting language, one of the Web-site languages that XML procedural logic might replace. "Programmers don't like coding in nested syntax, like XML."

XML is already "an open standard for storing information and being able to transport it," says Tom Barrett, a partner at PricwaterhouseCoopers and a consultant on Web services. As such, it already includes much of the document-processing and data-movement capabilities that Clear Methods appears to be talking about on its Web site, he says.

But programmers, software tool suppliers, and Web-services consultants and analysts agreed that until there was a large base of programmers making use of Water, XML as a programming language was likely to be rare encounter on the Web.
"The big catch is developer acceptance," Bloomberg says. "Clear Methods is still pushing the snowball up the hill. It hasn't reached the point where it's rolling down the hill, gathering strength."

That article is from July 21, 2003. And yet the list of partners and customers using that technology has grown since the Water language was deleted from wikipedia after you began discussing in on Yahoo.

So come up with something more substantial. Either that or admit you don't know because as the article says "XML can be used to express procedural logic". But you said it can't. And remember "ten years" of development has been popping up in all kinds of places recently where advanced computing using XML as a procedural language is being revealed.

As I've shown I am open to admitting when I'm wrong and I am willing to be shown to be wrong. So let's see how good you are.

That's true of XML as a traditional sense and is the reason the industry has been stagnant since Bil Gate's published his "Digital Decade" speech almost ten years ago. But what we're talking about here is VCSY patents saying they use XML to go beyond the traditional uses to form a basis for an all-XML language for procedures and functions.

VCSY's 6826744 and 7076521 patents show clearly you're wrong because the VCSY material in VCSY v LG and Samsung shows clearly 6826744's methods are used in Android.

I thought you said that idea was obsolete?

So Clearmethods using what can be easily shown to be VCSY IP is being used in MIT and IBM to build advanced systems. We know the basic foundation for IBM's Watson was established at MIT so you have a real problem trying to sweep that work away.

You need to do better than that or your friends will be upset with you.

You're years behind because you keep relying on articles that are almost ten years old when Teledyne, IBM, the US Army, the US Air Force, General Dynamics, MIT and others are using XML procedural and functional methods which you claim is obsolete.

There's something wrong with the way you're looking at things obviously.

Stealth? Given that most of the partners and customers are defense oriented I would think they should be working under a stealth operation.

You can try ridicule all you like but it doesn't remove the fact that you don't have anything to show for all your claims of knowledge. Try again.

Oh. So the Clearmethods company has been working with defense contractors for about 7 years and then they went on to work on their own thing in 2009?

That's interesting. So November 2009 is around the time when the Clearmethods founders were able to work out in the public with their IP.

Hmmm. And you claim that means the idea is dead? You said XML languages are all over the place. But then you say developers quit using them about seven years ago.

"Homegrown extensions of XML overflooded the IT world years ago, which is one reason why it never caught on all that much, and is also why they had to invent HTML5."

So all these public developers abandoned an XML version that could do everything they said they wanted and they turned around and invented an HTML version to do what they say they wanted and here we are five years later and HTML still doesn't do what developers could have been doing with XML all this time. That is if those developers could have gotten their hands on it during the time it was being matured with defense contractors.

Do you see how badly that kind of thinking does not make sense?

When something doesn't make sense it means somebody isn't telling the whole story. What are you afraid to say mirror?

The whole idea of an XML based programming environment is that the XML commands can wrap around any other language or code modules so the idea the Water founders are using nothing but ROR is pretty far fetched.

By the way "2010" was only six months ago. And you're saying the founders did nothing else from 2009 onward? Why do you think that's the case? Evidence? I would say the evidence shows MIT is using Water and Steam and has made great strides in using XML as a procedural and functional processing language. That's why IBM's Watson uses the XML-based foundation from MIT.

Your claim that XML based programming somehow mysteriously "died" years ago but continues to show up today doesn't make sense.

I really do wish you had experience and knowledge in this area so there could be a real conversation instead of all your specious dodges.

Nothing you've supplied pulls you out of the hole. Clearmethods along with all their partners and customers have been using the closest thing to VCSY's IP since 2001 and all the way to 2010 and you claim the founders are now using RoR exclusive of any of their techniques after all that time.

What kind of idiots to you take people for mirror? Is life that easy for you that you can tell people something that doesn't make sense and they just say "OK" and walk on?

http://xml-simple.rubyforge.org/

The whole idea is to be able to use XML based concepts to wrap code and make the code agnostic. That's what the VCSY patents show. I would say Clearmethods has to honor the VCSY patents and patent pending work in public until Wade is ready to say so in public so their use of RoR isn't so odd or difficult to understand to me.

Work between the two should be interchangeable. Apparently you have a real problem understanding what XML code means. That's to be expected I suppose but it doesn't excuse you making things up.

Clear Methods' Language Gets Cool Greeting
The object-oriented language is being greeted with skepticism by programmers, development tool suppliers, and Web-services consultants.

By Charles Babcock InformationWeek
July 21, 2003 10:00 AM

"Water is a full-featured object-oriented programming language, expressed in XML. It does more than Java does," says Jason Bloomberg, an analyst with Zap Think, an XML-oriented research group. It was designed to include security measures in the code so that it can move safely over the network. Water has built-in restrictions that prohibit it from calling files off a user's hard drive or changing the system software where it resides, he adds. Because it uses XML syntax, "it's not learning a new language for seasoned developers. They're already conversant in with XML," Bloomberg notes.

So what's the problem? We all have to wait until 2022 for HTML5 to do what could be done back in 2003?

Does that make sense to anybody? ANYBODY?

How about staying here for a while and giving everyone a chance to watch how you work. I'm sure they'll all be really impressed.

http://waterlanguage.org/
"The language is as easy as BASIC and as powerful as LISP."

"...by programming in XML syntax with Water, you can streamline the creation of complex Web services–for example, how a complete Web service can be implemented in one line of code."

That's what a very high level language should be. It's the kind of thing Emily accomplishes. There's no doubt in my mind Wade knows all about Clearmethods and they've had some form of accommodation working for them to do so much work with US Defense and IBM at MIT.

In fact I don't see why an XML based code would be such a problem since any code module could be tagged and used for automation and control using something like Water.

But you don't like that at all. You say the only reasonable way for the software industry and their partners and customers to perform automation functions is to wait until Web Workers is accepted by a mountain of developers. You know. The same argument you claim stopped XML coding dead back in 2003. But we know you're wrong from what we've seen now.

Even VCSY is bigger than Clear Methods. In all fairness, mantra.com was launched in 2005, so this info might be a few years old, but the fact is, the founders of TINY Clear Methods are now working for TextMyFood to put some food on their tables.

LMAO!

You can ask portuno that on Yahoo but I would say when are you going to produce some more recent articles slamming XML based programming? 2003? Really. All the information I showed with XML at work is as close as 2010. What happened to all that "abandoned" work you claim happened?

AND when are you going to come up with a critique of Clearmethods IP from somebody other than Clearmethods competitors?

Doesn't matter. It's reality. A reality you say doesn't exist. In fact you claim all that kind of work ended back in 2003 so everyone had to invent HTML5.

How wrong how wrong you are.

So when are you going to show me some examples of HTML5 that do what Water shows it can do? Come on mirror. Something small. I know HTML5 must be out there in secret somewhere doing what XML could do in 2003. There must be. Either that or you're trying to pull the wool over everbody's eyes here.

So let's see your examples. Chop chop little guy. You've been running long enough.

Dodge and weave. Run and hide. Everything you're pointing to could be done years ago by little tiny Clearmethods hiding in MIT working on defense projects.

It's a markup language that does what HTML5 won't be able to do for many many years to come.

So why? How is it Water being worked in MIT for the defense industry could already do all the things you so proudly claim HTML5 will one day do? I would think you would be really thrilled to see XML markup pulling off what all those other languages could do. It would mean HTML5 could then easily load up all those methods and be used just like HTML.

Isn't that what you wanted? Isn't that what Steve Jobs wanted? Isn't that what all your developer buddies wanted? How is it when you're handed something in 2003 you all cry that's not what you want and you invent HTML5 to one day in 2022 do what XML could do?

Water wasn't doing much of anything in 2003, and it isn't being used for much of anything now. The creators of Water have been working for TextMyFood since 2009, which BTW uses HTML5 along other technologies like Ruby-on-Rails. HTML5 is the designated standard for Web application development. Why do you insist on living in the past? Nobody cares about Water, except you.
BTW, the bostonwater.org group went defunct and haven't had a meeting in over a year.They are all probably programming in Ruby and learning HTML5 now. LOL.

Actually the language was functional in 2003 and HTML5 is still struggling.

Everybody here cares about finding out how VCSY's technology would work. Clearmethods Water/Steam is the closest we can find to fitting what the VCSY patents say. It's a much easier language because it only requires a few lines to do what it takes four times in javascript to do.

But what do you care right? You're a developer and the more lines of code you have to write the more you get paid so I can see why you're fighting this so hard.

The web industry needs a new way to program and markup programming seems to be what they want. MIT seems to have settled on using XML. You developers seem to not know how to use XML. "Too hard" you say. So you have to have something made for you so you can work.

Meanwhile defense contractors are doing with XML what you claim HTML5 is supposed to do. That's what I've suspected VCSY IP has been doing all along. HTML5 was made to attempt to compete. So far nothing.

moonpunk,
HTML5 is not a programming language, and doesn't try to be. It is a markup language with hooks and built-in API's so real programmers can use real programming languages with it, depending on what language is the best fit. Developers know better than to try and use a mark-up language like XML or HTML to do intense logic or automation. HTML5 in conjunction with Java, javascript, C++, perl, ruby, etc. is what developers are migrating towards. The XML-based programming fad has been mostly abandoned, though there is still some of that junk still around, of course. XML will continue to be mostly used for what it was designed for, simple text data management.
You need to get out of the past, Mr. Visionary. LOL.

That's not what you said all last year. You even point to Web Workers to show that HTML5 is intended to run automation. Didn't you argue all that time that HTML5 was going to take over automation using web applications?

Strange. I could swear that's what you were saying all last year. Have you changed your tune again?

"The XML-based programming fad has been mostly abandoned, though there is still some of that junk still around, of course."

Yeah. In MIT. In the US Air Force. In the US Army. In IBM. In Teledyne. In General Dynamics.

moonpunk,
HTML5's web workers feature is intended to allow scripts written in JavaScript (or other languages) to run in the background (i.e. automation) but HTML5 calls and coordinates those scripts, but the code that actually does the background script logic is written in a real programming language and the results can be passed back to the HTML5 user if necessary.
Must I teach you everything? I suggest you read up on HTML5, since you are supposed to be a visionary tech guru.



Computing with JavaScript Web Workers

Web Workers are, undoubtedly, the coolest new feature to arrive in the latest version of web browsers. Web Workers allow you to run JavaScript in parallel on a web page, without blocking the user interface.

Normally in order to achieve any sort of computation using JavaScript you would need to break your jobs up into tiny chunks and split their execution apart using timers. This is both slow and unimpressive (since you can't actually run anything in parallel - more information on this in How JavaScript Timers Work).

With our current situation in mind, let's dig in to Web Workers.

Web Workers
The Web Worker recommendation is partially based off of the prior work done by the Gears team on their WorkerPool Module. The idea has since grown and been tweaked to become a full recommendation.

A 'worker' is a script that will be loaded and executed in the background. Web Workers provide a way to do this seamlessly, for example:

new Worker("worker.js");
The above will load the script, located at 'worker.js', and execute it in the background.

There are some HUGE stipulations, though:

Workers don't have access to the DOM. No document, getElementById, etc. (The notable exceptions are setTimeout, setInterval, and XMLHttpRequest.)
Workers don't have direct access to the 'parent' page.
With these points in mind the big question should be: How do you actually use a worker and what is it useful for?

You use a worker by communicating with it using messages. All browsers support passing in a string message (Firefox 3.5 also supports passing in JSON-compatible objects). This message will be communicated to the worker (the worker can also communicate messages back to the parent page). This is the extent to which communication can occur.

The message passing is done using the postMessage API, working like this:

var worker = new Worker("worker.js");
// Watch for messages from the worker
worker.onmessage = function(e){
// The message from the client:
e.data
};

worker.postMessage("start");

The Client:

onmessage = function(e){
if ( e.data === "start" ) {
// Do some computation
done()
}
};
function done(){
// Send back the results to the parent page
postMessage("done");
}

This particular message-passing limitation is in place for a number of reasons: It keeps the child worker running securely (since it can't, blatantly, affect a parent script) and it keeps the parent page thread-safe (having the DOM be thread safe would be a logistical nightmare for browser developers).

Right now Web Workers are implemented by Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4. They've also landed in the latest Chromium nightlies. Most people would balk when hearing this (only two released browsers!) but this shouldn't be a concern. Workers allow you to take a normal piece of computation and highly parallelize it. In this way you can easily have two versions of a script (one that runs in older browsers and one that runs in a worker, if it's available). Newer browsers will just run that much faster.

Some interesting demos have already been created that utilize this new API.

By the way your claims about Watson are a distorted half truth as usual. The analytics might be written in languages like Java and C++ but the underlying foundation for Watson's semantic data is done in OWL.
