Courgette meets a dangerous (Red) BendCourgette meets a dangerous (Red) BendPosted Nov 3, 2009 16:16 UTC (Tue) by NAR (subscriber, #1313)In reply to: Courgette meets a dangerous (Red) Bend by socket Parent article: Courgette meets a dangerous (Red) Bend I think an argument can be made that any invention becomes obvious if you can ask the right question to prompt it and understand the basic prerequisite knowledge. My experience with "software research" was that the emphasis was on asking the right questions, that was the hard part - the actual implementation is mostly straight forward. The problem with patents is that in some cases they cover the actual question, not just the implementation, so they rule out any other implementation for the same problem. On the other hand, why does Google bother with this hacking? Wouldn't it be easier to split the exectuable into many DLLs, so if there's a bugfix, only the changed DLL should be delivered? For example the JavaScript engine could be separated, the image displaying libraries (libpng, etc.) could be separated, etc.
