美国联邦上诉法院在Jacobsen v.
Katzer的判决中,历史上第一次承认“开源协议”是一种著作权协议,违反协议就是侵权行为。
美国联邦上诉法院在Jacobsen v.
Katzer的判决中,历史上第一次承认“开源协议”是一种著作权协议,违反协议就是侵权行为。
Lawrence
Lessig(斯坦福法学院教授,CC许可证创始人)认为,这是一个极其重要的判例,是开源运动的一个重大胜利。它意味着,对于软件作者来说,开源协议是有保障的,作者受到法律保护;对于软件用户来说,使用免费得到的开源代码,并不意味你可以为所欲为,如果违反了原始协议,一样会受到法律惩罚。
注:2006年,Jacobsen起诉Katzer,声称后者的软件没有遵守开源协议,标明源代码的出处和作者,要求法院认定这是侵犯著作权行为。但是,旧金山

围棋被认为是棋类游戏中人类智能超越电脑的最后堡垒,但是如果摩尔定律能延续下去,人类胜过电脑的时间不会维持太久
美国围棋大会举办的比赛中,人工智能实现了历史性突破:围棋程序MoGo战胜了职业8段选手Myungwan
Kim(Kim让9子)。程序运行的超级计算机有800个处理器,频率4.7 Ghz,总体性能15
Teraflops。Kim估计MoGo目前的实力约为业余2到3段。但与会者仍然被程序的表现惊住了,认为其中的一些走法达到了5段的水准。与人类相比,计算机程序依旧是被屠杀的对象。围棋被认为是棋类游戏中人类智能超越电脑的最后堡垒,但是如果摩尔定律能延续下去,人类胜过电脑的时间不会维持太久。
Goodbye, Passwords. You Aren’t a Good
Defense.
By RANDALL STROSS
THE best password is a long, nonsensical string of
letters and numbers and punctuation marks, a combination never put
together before. Some admirable people actually do memorize random
strings of characters for their passwords — and replace them with
other random strings every couple of months.
Then there’s the rest of us, selecting the short,
the familiar and the easiest to remember. And holding onto it
forever.
I once felt ashamed about failing to follow best
practices for password selection — but no more. Computer security
experts say that choosing hard-to-guess passwords ultimately brings
little security protection. Passwords won’t keep us safe from
identity theft, no matter how clever we are in choosing them.
That would be the case even if we had done a better
job of listening to inst

IBM呼吁Linux开源操作系统的开发人员,如果想看到Linux成为桌面系统,就应该使Linux操作系统更加“绿色”、并终止对Windows的拷贝。
CNET科技资讯网 8月11日国际报道
IBM呼吁Linux开源操作系统的开发人员,如果想看到Linux成为桌面系统,就应该使Linux操作系统更加“绿色”、并终止对Windows的拷贝。
IBM开源与标准的副总裁鲍勃·苏特在旧金山召开的“LinuxWorld大会”上向与会者表示,开源社区在向消费者和企业推广Linux并使之成为桌面操作系统上需要做的是“推出一些真正好用的设计。”
在苏特发表评论的前一天,IBM曾在“LinuxWorld大会”宣布加入Linux经销商的行列。IBM、
Canonical、Novell和Red Hat这四家公司同意与Linux达成硬件

Last-minute attempts by online activists to halt
an electronic ID card failed Tuesday when the U.S. Senate
unanimously voted to impose a sweeping set of identification
requirements on Americans.
The so-called Real ID Act now
heads to President Bush, who is expected to sign the bill into law
this month. Its backers, including the Bush administration, say
it's needed to stop illegal immigrants from obtaining drivers'
licenses.

Laboratories are places where science and

Labs embraces this great tradition as a virtual lab where people
come together online to create, experiment and play with Web
innovations for the public benefit.
Today we’re calling on industry, higher education
and people from around the world to get involved and share their
ideas and expertise as we collectively explore and design future
directions for the Web.
You don’t have to be a software engineer to get
involved, and you don’t have to program. Everyone is welcome to
participate. We’re particularly interested in engaging with
designers who have not typically been involved with open source
projects. And we’re biasing to
