When is a Wikipedia not a Wikipedia? (When it's a"Knol")

12/15/2007  
Relevance: 9.19
Or so, at least, Google would like you to conclude. Significant differences include single-author control (but the freedom for other authors to set up competing pages as well), bylines for page authors, reader ranking, and - oh yes - Google ads (authors interested in allowing ad placements would get a"substantial" share of the resulting revenues).

06/05/2007  
Relevance: 7.54
The GPL authors talk about how they addressed Microsoft/Novell, patents and other issues in the GPLv3's final draft.[I think the MS-Xandros deal will have to be talked about as well. - Scott]

Creative Commons helps authors terminate copyright transfers

01/11/2007  
Relevance: 6.74
Still seething over that bad book publishing deal you entered into in 1981? Good news: you might be able to rescue your manuscript and do something lucrative with it, thanks to Creative Commons (CC) and obscure portions of US copyright law. CC is beta testing a Web-based tool on its ccLabs site that helps authors through the tricky legal maze required to terminate a copyright transfer.

Linux Creator Calls GPLv3 Authors 'Hypocrites' As Open Source Debate Turns Nasty

07/15/2007  
Relevance: 6.40
Linux creator Linus Torvalds said the authors of a new software license expected to be used by thousands of open source programmers are a bunch of hypocrites and likened them to religious fanatics -- the latest sign of a growing schism in the open source community between business-minded developers like Torvalds and free software purists.

Security Power Tools

03/04/2008  
Relevance: 6.28
This book has almost as many authors as it does pages. This tells me that O'Reilly tapped into a rather large pool of talent in order to get this book written and out to the public. Something re-enforced by the blurb at the back of the book,"What if you could sit down with some of the most talented security engineers in the world and ask any network security question you wanted?" This book is supposed to be the print equivalent of doing just that (not that the book talks back, as such). 23 cross-referenced chapters produced by an impressive group of authors, editors, and technical reviewers with very interesting bios is a lot to absorb and it should be. I expect this book to include everything security-related, kitchen sink and all.

The Art and Science of JavaScript

07/12/2008  
Relevance: 5.75
So many books like this get 'dinged' in the reviews for not being very accessible by beginners. What people seem to forget is that not every book (on JavaScript or any other technical subject) is written for the beginner. The authors (or probably the editors) make it very clear in the Preface of this text, that this book was written for the intermediate JavaScript coder. 'Intermediate' isn't spelled out as such, but it seems to mean that you're either a person who is well versed in the lessons taught by a beginner's manual, or you know just a little JavaScript, but are quite comfortable in other programming languages (and thus general programming practices). If you haven't written a line of JavaScript in your life and are eager to learn, do not buy this book. You're not ready. If you try to learn JavaScript from jump street using this book, you'll just end up frustrated and unjustly criticize the authors. With that said, if you are familiar with the basics of JavaScript or are otherwise qualified as described above, please continue reading this review and see if this text is right for you (I think it will be).

Reflections on the Revolution

09/19/2007  
Relevance: 4.61
So yes, I will today turn to the West and nod my head to the author of the Linux Kernel. I am not writing this to speak of his obvious genius. Neither am I banging on a keyboard to offer praise and accolades to our kernel developers, distro authors and graphic artists. What Linus Torvalds gave to us is worth more than we know. That is being done

Linux Administration Handbook, 2nd Edition

12/03/2006  
Relevance: 4.58
What can I say? The first edition of this book was a best seller. Linus Torvalds wrote the Foreward to the first edition. Most authors would give their eye teeth to have such a successful book on their publications list. Ok, ok...that doesn't mean the second edition absolutely must stack up to the first, but after all, that's what we're here to find out.
