    He is telling lemmis to look them up. I obviously picked those E-numbers and dihydrogen monoxide to prove a point.

    People writing stuff like:

    "A healthy meal does not have any food additives either.

    A healthy meal does not have any food additives either.

    This is a real problem, it's almost impossible to find a meal that don't have any sodium chloride or dihydrogen monoxide added to them. Not to forget all these bad E numbers, for example E100, E101, E161b, E160d and E300 is even added in some "healthfood"!

    That is just a problem in the US and some other countries that don't have a consumer friendly(=working?) market.

    Here in Sweden you can buy at least some smartphones without any plans(no simcard) and use it like a PDA and only use wifi etc. if you want to use 2G/3G you just get a limited or unlimited data-plan intended for 3g modems("mobile internet", no voice, no SMS) for 9-35$ a month, i.e. you get a phone that does everything except being a phone.

    By that logic, companies should be able to have you work for free.

    Yes if i am stupid enough to not have some sort of contract.

    And only pay you based on your job performance. You suck at the job, YOU GET NOTHING. You are mediocre at your job, you get minimum wage. You are excellent at your job, you make comparable money to anyone else that performs your same job duties at that level.

    It's called piecework or Performance-related pay.

    This logic should be applied at EVERY TASK you perform.

    Only if it says so in the contract.

    That is your argument,

    No that is not my argument. My argument is that i never asked you to make a game or shovel my driveway, and if you have done either without some sort of agreement with me you can't demand/expect me to pay.

    It's your own responsibility to make sure that you have a working business model.

    If you can't sell seashells by the seashore it your own responsibility to find another business model that work. Like making necklaces out of them or selling them to fish/pet stores.

    It's your own damn fault if you work and create something that nobody wants to pay for. "you" are also [b]perfectly free[/b] to stop making games and start doing a real job. (it's not a job if nobody pays for it.)

    Making a game(or writing a book) is like shoveling your neighborhoods streets/driveways, you either make a deal before you do the work, or risk not getting paid for all/any streets/driveways.

    If/when more cars start using lots of electricity to run, you'd probably want distance/kWh since most electricity rates are by kilowatt hour (whether they are taking money from you, or crediting you :) ).

    No, you want kWh/distance. Nobody cares about how far you can get on a kwh, what everybody wants to know is how many kWh(=$$) you use per 1, 10 or 100km.
