Skylink Survives

Jesse Walker | September 1, 2004

The courts have brought back a decision in the Skylink case, an important intellectual-property skirmish involving garage-door openers. (And you thought all the copyright wars were over Buffy fan fiction!) Ernest Miller discusses the details of the case here, and has a roundup of other commentary here.

Wish that was all I had to do...

It might make a nice screen saver...

Off-topic: It's been bugging me for several years now. How do you pronounce "Nozick", as in the last name of the famous libertarian philosopher?

I've heard "No-zick," "Notch-ick," and "Noz-ick".

Beware!!! Skylink is obviously a precursor to the dreaded Sky Net!!! :)

Still thinking about Arnold's speech last night, eh Gary?

Dash: I've always pronounced it "Nose ick," with the emphasis on the "No."

Jesse, I hope that gets better soon for you. I know that Nose Ick can be tough to get rid of. ;-)

Jesse Walker,

Actually, I haven't watched even a smidgen of the RNC.

Full Disclosure: I watched Howard Dean during the DNC because I wondered if he would howl again.

The conventions (as they are presented on TV at least) are about as interesting as watching the dust settle on a country road after a truck drives by. :)
