Merely about the "viral" aspect.

Via Vostyx & la newsletter Droit-internet de Murielle Cahen:

Les majors du disque s'attaquent aujourd'hui aux radios diffusees sur Internet. Elles paient les droits de diffusion mais les associations de protection des droits des majors, la RIAA en tete, expliquent que ces radios ne protegent pas les musiques qu'elles diffusent, permettant aux internautes de copier ces musiques et donc de pouvoir les diffuser ensuite sur le reseau des reseaux.

Ah parce que les radios FM, elles la protègent leur musique?

Moins bonne qualité vous dites?

Et les 60 radios en "qualité" CD fièrement promues dans les brochures des opérateurs de TV câble et satellite? :?:

Et il y a une sortie numérique sur leurs décodeurs, vous le savez ça? Mais, qu'attendez-vous? Attaquez les! :!:

Crétins. >:XX

"Les blogs? Ca sert à quoi? C'est sérieux?"... autant de questions auxquelles ils devient vite lassant de répondre jour après jour...

Une petite mise au point en français, on en rêvait, Loïc Le Meur l'a fait: "Les blogs et leurs applications en entreprise et pour les médias" .... et plutôt bien (style synthétique mais efficace).

Wow I didn't realize there were so many alternatives when it comes to choosing a PHP editor! ;D

This thread in Ask Joel is the most interesting discussion I've ever read abut offshoring/outsourcing software development!

It's getting incredibly long though, so it's really hard to read through. But the first 25 comments are definitely worth reading.

My personal take on the subject is roughly this: I believe software is art more than science. I think the best approach to make it look like engineering is something along the Unified Process - that's what the IT world has learned the hard way for the last 30 years! One golden rule of UP is to have the users and the coders communicating, to have them understand each other's constraints...

This doesn't mean I think nothing can be outsourced, but you certainly cannot carelessly offshore a whole IT department to a place with a radically different culture and expect that communicating with specs will "just work"! :|

If offshoring software development is ever going to succeed we'll need a whole new set of skills and tools (internet being one of them) to master it, and we're not even close! However, I think the experience of open source software projects developped by an international community are an interesting experience to this.

I would probably elaborate on this if I wasn't this busy reading the thread at Joel's right now! :>>
