"What I want to know is: how did you find your way to slashdot from AOL?"

that's one of the funniest things i've read in a while. thanks for the laugh.

I don't see anywhere in the article that says CBS Interactive wrote Green Dam. All I see is that CBS Interactive distributed it.

Who wrote Green Dam? Also, the article refers to Blue Dam. Who wrote that, and does it include the same copied code from Solid Oak?

In an article about Intellectual Property, the name of the person/company responsible for writing Green Dam is a key piece of information.

yeah okay i'm one of these. web app developer been commuting for years.

Here's what stinks about working out of a panera or most cafes.
-It's usually freezing cold in summer, so i have to dress for winter in July.
-Yeah i have to buy food or drink, and usually it's fattening.
-Many places crank the lobby music so i can't hear my own music without causing ear damage.
-Lunch can be crowded and more loud than usual.

However I have enjoyed spending a month living in another state, with my sister, and just working out of a dunkin donuts during the day. Got in some family time at night and weekends I could not have otherwise.

Working at home (or out of cafe) does get a bit lonely. I miss the zany whacky coworkers, etc.
