Just seen on the newspaper about "x prize" may be obtained by Paul Allen, Bill Gates, the partner when "mircosoft" is started! I believe many friends who carry out space to know: This award worth 10 million yuan has its unique significance: because this is a purely manned space program that is not from the country!
The first time I know this award is in the information about John Carmack. The book says that the master programmer of this computer graphics is striving to fight for this symbolism, and the passion, of course, also includes financial prize. This is also one of his dreams.
Open Source is not only single representing a software release method, and more means to allow others to view and benefit from their own code. Code, as the most valuable wealth of programmers, has always been full of mystery. In the Open Source community, it is unveiled this mysterious veil to sacrifice your own monopoly position to help others' development. This is really difficult!
I still remember that when I was working in "Soft Disk" magazine, let his boss told him to let him apply for a patent, John Carmack said that his boss said, if you mention what patents Things, he left the company immediately. Because, in a true programmer's eyes, there is nothing to be monopoly. If everyone applies for patents, then this world has no development!
Write here, once again feel more proud of your career! Because I am a programmer, a lot of outstanding people, people full of passion and ideals and I am doing the same thing!
