Exactly ... they CANNOT trademark the word Node. This word has been in the dictionary since the 16th century derived from the Latin word nōdus, meaning knot.

Um ... yeah. Anything that Microsoft touches.

"Anyone who puts a lot of time or effort into Node at this point and later gets burned has no one to blame but themselves."

Exactly. I was getting into it, but I am going to ditch it until this is all sorted out.

Node is a common word. I would fight them to the death if they sued me over nodecode.com (which someone has already private registered). IMHO, this is just a precursor to a sellout.

I love Overland Park, but it is just like the rest of Kansas; Red. Missouri is a bit too Blue for Google to make enough money quickly enough to feel comfortable putting it there. Plus KCMO is a lot poorer than KCK.

Very good point. The Chiefs made it to the playoffs last year, maybe next year we'll make it to the final rounds of the playoffs. Too good to be true.

I know what you mean. I would rather invest in a few of repeaters than actually live in KCK.

I was curious to know the same thing. I do however like the code being side by side. It helps people who know PHP learn a little Lisp.

Sorry for the double comment ... you can see the controller in action at http://code.google.com/p/sharpy/ ... which is my less than a week old PHP framework.

The controller generally accepts requests and fires an action. i.e. You may request index.php/admin/users/view/id/123

Your controller in the above example is Users firing the view Action it got from the request (usually another object).

Forced seclusion on any being that naturally seeks contact alters the mind and is therefore a form of torture.

This topic transcends Locksmithing, obviously. Being a faster programmer means people expect more in less time for less pay.

Probably not since there doesn't seem to be any attribution to the NFL on the site.

I really like the CORE series of books, i.e. Core PHP

I also build stuff and learn at the same time, which means a forum comes in handy. Check out PHPBuilder, I am on there if you need help.

I could really use some help with pitches and how to deal with potential customers when you are the founder. I am trying to kick off my startup, http://www.quintre.com , but worry about getting overwhelmed and flat out rejected at every turn.

That's what happens when you tell someone an idea that is fairly simple to implement and don't act on it in over 200 days, IMHO.
