A patent is different then a copyright. A copyright protects the source code of a piece of software. A patent would protect the idea of what a piece of software could do. This is like what 'Amazon' did with its patent of 'One click shopping'. Imagine if someone could patent something like the way a certain type of music sounds or perhaps the wheel. This appears to be just a way for the rich to get richer. Lets stop the insanity.

But, as a former musician I've noticed that in recent months a number of great musicians have passed away. These are people who were some of the movers and shakers of the genres they played in. Lionel Hampton was such a musician and he will be missed along with the rest. Read more at Yahoo.

I never knew Allen but I'm benifiting from his work on PostNuke. He will be missed. Greg Allan a.k.a. Adam_Baum, the lead core developer and one of the four founding members of the PostNuke CMS Development Project passed away from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. The accident occurred June 16, 2002 near his home in Meaford, Ontario in Canada. Greg was an invaluable asset to the PostNuke development team, and a dear and trusted friend and co-worker to thousands of people on every continent. Through this first year of PostNuke's existence, Greg's personable and giving nature has been a guiding light and inspiration to many people and projects that have shaped the development landscape and social personality of the PostNuke project.

That might seem like a lot but in cosmic distances that close to a cat's whisker. If it had struck the Earth it would have had the power of a nuclear bomb. Sounds like science fiction but it has happened before. Read some more at Yahoo.
