kanzureybit: they could still sue you if you build it (even if it's just for educational, or even private uses)00:01
kanzurepatent law sucks, yes00:01
ybityeah, i was reading this :\00:01
ybitthey have to explicitly put that it can be used for educational purposes or give you permission00:02
ybitso if you don't want to get sued, it's best to do it yourself, let your friends and others who could use it know, and hope for the best00:02
ybitone day i'm going to move to an obscure country where this isn't a concern00:04
kanzureobscure? like.. brazil?00:04
splicerafghanistan?00:12
kanzurethat's a pretty well known country00:12

fennthanks jay19:16
fennthe 'bah' was because genehacker quit and i had a link ready for him19:16

QuantumGok Tab Candy is awesome19:22
QuantumGperhaps even *too* awesome19:22
QuantumGI may never close a tab again19:22
QuantumGI'm looking at my bookmarks and thinking "why do I need you?"19:22
JayDuggerfenn, do you have a link for an overview of the MTM concept?19:29
klafkawhat is MTM?19:32
JayDuggerQuantumG, try using Tab Filter and Tree Style Tab while you wait for the promises of Tab Candy.19:33
QuantumGI'm using Tab Candy right now19:34
JayDuggerIf you don't use a tiling window manager, you could also try some of the extensions that split screens.19:34
JayDuggerYou won't get the zooming UI or the collaboration, but you'll probably get 80% of the rest.19:35
JayDuggerklafka, that's why I asked for an overview link. :)19:35

fennanyone want to go to north carolina? learn java + php? make millions of dollars (after years of toil) and build out this website: http://leaguescape.com21:22
fennthis guy needs someone to be his tech partner in a 12 week incubator program, contacted me out of the blue today, seems nice enough on the phone21:23
fennanyway, if you want 12 weeks with no rent in research triangle park and are willing to "get married" to some total stranger who likes fantasy sports21:24

QuantumGheh21:40
fenn"fantasy sports" is apparently a 1 billion dollar industry, with a special exemption from online gambling laws21:42
fenni had never heard of it until this morning21:42
QuantumGI'd heard of it because they make fun of it on sitcoms21:45
ybitwuh?21:53
ybiti'll go21:53
ybitnothing is brewing here it seems21:53
ybitnothing legal at least21:53
splicerThe fantasy sports thing is big, especially fake soccer... there is also about a million startups like that.21:55
ybitthat's a point worth noting21:55
ybitsecond thought, illegal stuff looks more realistic21:55
splicerthe problem is getting people to join, not to make the software.21:56

fenn"A 2006 study showed 22 percent of U.S. adult males 18 to 49 years old, with Internet access, play fantasy sports."22:00
fennsurprised robin hanson hasn't hyped it all up.. it's a functioning prediction market after all, and a pretty big one by any standard22:03
