No, like plumm!

Isn't that "dumbing down"?

If money isn't buying you happiness, wire it to my account and I will send you pictures of how happy it made me!

Can I scan some bills and email them to you ?

First of all, define "happiness".

Don't need any money for that, but still I need the money to buy other things.

Can i send you pictures of my smiling face and you send me your money in return ?
In code we trust !

This post is made significantly better by having a Nigerian sounding username!
I always say that money doesn't make you happy, it just stops you from being unhappy due to being poor. But that's still pretty significant.

This is just my second post, so be kind.
Tho, I would like to say hi to everybody, I really enjoy coming here to see how the worlds going ( mad ) in its own funny way.
Smiles are healthy.
Imagine for a moment that you have developed a totally new algorithim. Something noteworthy, like a compression algorithim that far outstrips anything on the market today.
Whats your next step?
As I understand it, algorithims are no longer copyright-able.
Whats the difference between an algorithim (in copyright terms) and a complete product?
How do we as programmers, go about converting code into cash?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Post data: I produced, copyrighted and sold my first software product some 20 odd years ago ( yes I've been at this for a while ). I'm just wondering how things have changed since then.

Unless I missed something, you can still patent an algorithm.

Maybe in the US, but it's a different story in the EU, for example. You cannot patent scientific theories or mathematical methods here, all you can do is try to patent the procedure, if it has a certain level of technological value and represents a patentable invention.

I have an algorithm for that, that is if you are accepting code to cash conversion in VB

You can patent an algorithm (but I will hate you for that ) and for sure you can write some software that uses that algorithm and sell it...
But the best thing you can do with it is writing an article about in CP!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
