Flash Mobs: Peaceable Assembly for Spontaneous Fun http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/25/0146250
Schmendr1ck writes "The [0]Orlando Sentinel is carrying a story on the
growing trend of 'creating a crowd on a moment's notice for no
particular reason' knows as a [1]flash mob. Recent flash mobs
(sometimes hundreds of people) have wandered into into an upscale NYC
shoe store acting like confused tourists from Maryland, gathered at the
Hyatt near Grand Central Station for 15 seconds of spontaneous
applause, and converged on the Macy's carpet department to debate the
quality of the rugs for sale. Check [2] cheesebikini? for pictures and
info on past mobs, as well as links to sites that organize these
events. Sounds like a fun, harmless, and Constitutionally-protected way
of blowing off a little steam."

http://www.cheesebikini.com/Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/25/0041208
[0]WEFUNK writes "The I, Cringely 'Pulpit' column at [1]PBS presents an interesting idea for a new business model to take on the RIAA. He suggests that a publicly traded company could legally and profitably buy a single copy of each record which could then be freely copied and listened to by its shareholders under fair use. His [2]'Snapster' (Son of Napster) proposal is essentially a digital music co-op that would let shareholders/consumers bring copyrighted material into a quasi-public domain. While fair use and the public domain continue to be lost in our courts and congresses, maybe the capital markets will offer an alternative." While a neat idea, it's doubtful that it'll ever be implemented. Still, it's a good read. Links

Open Source/Proprietary - An Issue of Two Codebases? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/22/0612200
g00mba_b0y asks: "For the past year I and a small team of developers have been working on an open source targeted, general business application framework. I say targeted because we have not yet selected a licensing model and placed the code in the public domain (we are working on some specific functional targets). I recently demonstrated the framework to a potential client who liked what they saw, and wants to use the software for their flagship product. In addition, they want to hire me to further the development of the framework as well as participate in the development. The sticking point is the structure of the legal agreement. I'm really interested in two things: the experiences of developers who are doing something like this (how did you address the IP issues); and links to any information on this subject."

If not for lack of cover space, it could easily bear the names "Perl6 for Perl5 programmers" and "Parrot in a Nutshell". Both topics are concise and clearly covered, despite their relatively different audience." Read on for the rest of Jay's review. Links
