World: r4wp

Well, more I read it, more it becomes obvious.

Last week, a few heffalumps burst into my basement and turned over 
the last barrel of 1999 Châtemateloo

Using a microwave oven, amateur radio, and 4 lines of code in REBOL 
I was able to construct a modem and here I am.
 
Pretty funny

There's at least one such REBOL troll who writes well enough that 
it makes you doubt

heffalumps = fictional animal

Pretty funny though

Well, now on to creating a new "save-the-world-open-source-license". 
Why is it so hard to just pick one like MIT and release the code. 
Every day we loose, we can't get back. I expect this licensing thing 
to take at least 12 months. It's just waste of time.

And even if it's a troll, Carl should just pick MIT :-)

Max, it's unfortunately fake. Sorry.

Well... I don't know... if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes 
the truth. 
So just repeat this announce, it'll became true!

When I saw Max's post here, I went to check the blog because I thought 
it was a joke from Max. :-)

But, apparently it's a joke from someone else.

I find it funny that you guys fell for it, it was clearly not Carl's 
style of writing. Besides, he already has his own open source license. 
:) (When I was in Ukiah, we went to lunch with his - at the time 
- lawyer, who created his own license... I can't find it on Wikipedia 
right now, but it used to be there.)

ok, i think it was Lawrence Rosen and the license was the Open Software 
License.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Software_License

I'm more concerned about the license. His last attempt at an open 
source R3 license wasn't - it had usage restrictions that violated 
the definition. That's why all of my mezzanine work was MIT licensed, 
even the stuff that Carl included in R2 and R3.

So, just the mezz code recently added or all R2/R3 mezz code is MIT?

Heh, so the person impersonating Carl on his blog is now also trying 
to fake the yellow background? Quite insistent, that one :)

Ah, I was wondering, because it's not completely filled out, but 
he got me this time

I can't find anything on Github

Doc, maybe half of R3's mezz code is MIT (since I wrote it). All 
R2 mezz changes since 2.7.5 are MIT too since they're licensed from 
R2/Forward.

The HTML is screwed up in the comments section now.

Sorry, just tried to make a point :-)

You replied the same second Kaj Luke!

No, that's another way to prove the point. You can just edit the 
time of your message. Do you want me to answer before the previous 
post? :-)

Maybe you can get the columns the same height again? No I just wrote 
it to point this out in case someone doesn't notice.

No, I can't edit previous messages. Maybe the troll can

I was doubting my previous postings ;)

We have no proof the second fake Carl is the same as the first fake 
Carl :)

To add to the idiocy, there's now a third, real Carl. He's stating 
he agrees with the fake one

Guess it's the real one now as the fake comments have gone

now to guess which of the other 184 comments were faked

Hmmmm.....We now know a way to encourage the real Carl to post :)

Thanks to the fake Carl .. please stand up and take a bow :)

Fake a bow?

just bend over ...

Carl has removed a few more tags to stop spoofing ...

in yellow

soo.. is this reply 10-Sep-2012 14:39:12 the real Carl or just more 
delicate fake Carl? The message still seem too simple about the future 
for the real Carl.

That's the real Carl - only the real Carl can remove comments, and 
comments were removed.

I think that the real hacker, has some surprise under the hood :-)

Note that my Etsy API script does patch HTTP (for purposes of retrieving 
API error messages).  You can view those changes here: http://reb4.me/r/etsy-http-hack.r

And with thanks to Nick for instigating, supporting and helping test!

Thanks Chris and Nick. I'll be using that code!

James, let me know if you encounter any problems. It's always a pain 
getting to grips with an OAuth app to start.

Thanks Chris I will. My wife has been itching to sell some stuff 
on etsy. Thanks for all you do Chris.

No one here can test my new %opengl-glu-glut-h.r on X11?

Cool kaj.

Thanks Kaj.

Hey, you are in the video too this time!

Kaj: how do Fibonaci.ruby and Fibonaci.r compare in speed on your 
demo machine?

Ah, found a verbose: 1 left in natives.reds thanks to your presentation...and 
the code is missing a macro....funny way to debug/improve my own 
code. ;-)
