Hey, I didn't say it was a good thing, so I don't know where 'optimistic' came from.
Singularies just happen. I prefer to call them 'waves', from the book 'The Third Waves'. There are waves, big or small, that happen every time something is invented. A singularity, I guess, would be a huge wave that we can't even imagine until it happens. Although, in a sense, that's true of all waves.
About a decade ago, the computer communication wave hit. Not the computer wave, that hit about ten years earlier, but globally linking the computers that had been appearing for the last decade in people's houses. So you can call that wave a side-effect of the orginal computer wave.
Well, that wave, about 5 years ago, managed to create another wave with Napster, and blogs, basically at the same time, historically speaking. Suddenly, people realized they could do anything they waated with the digital data they had.
But, and this is important: That's not a cause. It's a result of having free immediate communcations. (By free, I mean, 'not priced on usage', not 'no price at all'.)
The only way to stop the wave is to remove free immediate communications. Which is what that link postulates, but I don't think it will be anywhere near as easy he thinks. For example, there are already efforts underway to 'unfirewall' users with uPNP, where they can request ports open. Look at Skype for an example of this. Or Bittorrent. NATing is stupid, and harmful, but not the end of the internet.
And everything else depends on webmasters voluntarily giving up users. Which I'm just not seeing. CNN might join the 'conspiracy', claiming it's for micropayment, but not the five billion blogs out there. They'll be glad to get rid of CNN competing with them for ads, too.
That's the problem with the whole document, in fact. I run several sites, including storefronts, and do you know when we'll require users to give us a certification to view our sites or even buy something? Never. It makes no sense.
So that particular future can't happen. Micropayments are dead, and have always been dead, and even assuming they manage raise from the dead there are more than enough people who run their own blogs they want others to read. You either offer the stuff for free (with possible ads), with a subscription, or with both/either. No one's going to shoot themselves in the foot by only accepting some micropayment standard, and even if they did, John Walker is assuming, for some reason, everyone will, like the internet is some hypothetical pre-existing space with X number of content producers and no one can add more.
When, in reality, the whole point is that people are adding more. People are producing tons of content, often other people's.;)
The Intellectual Property/information singularity is happening right now, if anyone cares. At this exact moment. From now on, there will be pre-2000 knowledge, and post-2015 knowledge, or whenever this ends.
Not just copyrights, either. Patents are getting a shake-down, and remember when people had trademarks instead of google rankings?
Remember when there were corporations dedicated to providing 'news'? Remember when people who uncovered some secret, global spanning government conspiracy would race to mail it to a trusted person, or a newpaper reporter, and hope they didn't end up dead, instead of just posting it on the net and everyone knowing about it one hundred and twenty seconds later when their RSS feeds updated?
Remember when there was a lot of information out there, like mapping phone numbers to addresses or the location of secret government installations in the middle of nowhere, and it was hard to find? Remember that? When we knew information existed, yet couldn't immediately find it?
There used to be buildings you could go to to find out who was the king of England in 1293, and what the capital of Chad is, and who pitched the first recorded no-hitter in MLB. (Edward I, N'Djamena, and Nixey Callahan, which I looked up in less than one minute.) I think they were called 'liberbies' or something. Rememeber when you used to have to go to them?
If any industry starts spinning wildly for no apparent reason, with pieces flying off left and right, it's probably in the middle of a singularity.
She presumable has material copyrighted by her on her computer. (Remember, automatic copyright. Even a single email would count.)
There is a form of access control in front of this material, specifically, her computer only gives it out to people who are sitting in front of it.
By breaking in, they have circumvented this access control mechanism.
I don't see why that's not a violation of the DMCA. Might as well throw that charge in against the RIAA, if only for sheer irony.
This assumes they actually did 'break in', of course. Sadly for her, connecting to her file sharing app and asking for a listing is unlikely to count as 'breaking in'.
That's the sort of thing that would drive me crazy in a hybrid, especially one I could plug in. (Not being able to plug them in would drive me crazy for other reasons.) Sucking needless gas when I have five miles until home and 95% battery.
Of course, I'm the kind of guy who cuts my engine on the way down the hill to my house. Hey, I'm braking the rest of the way, what do I need the engine for? Let it slow me down.
I want a car that I can tell it where I'm going.
No, wait, I want a car that learns where I go, via GPS, and watches the hills and curves and red lights the first time though, and gives me exactly the correct amount of power needed from then on. One that knows where home is, where else it can get recharged, and how topped up the batteries should stay.
Obviously it wouldn't make sense to compare them if diesel was twice as much, just like it doesn't make sense compare with someone who's modified his car's fuel injection and run it on octane boaster he purchases at gas stations. He might be getting twice the mpg you are, but he's paying twice as much for twice as dense a fuel and not actually gaining anything. (And probably going to blow up his car, assuming that hypothetical situation was possible.)
However, diesel prices per gallon are near identical to gasoline prices per gallon. (Or were, before the current skyrocket of gasoline.)
The location of CO2 is irrelevant only if your city doesn't suffer from occasional 'thermal inversions', which is when hot air from all the pollution gets trapped under cold air, and the entire city sits and sufficates.
I don't think anyone's saying 'buy a hybrid even if you don't need a car'.
However, buying a hybrid helps the enviroment, period, even if you get rid of a perfectly good car to do so. Why?
Because there are a finite amount of car drivers out there. Assuming you, like normal, sell your old car (instead of throwing it in the trash?), that car will go to someone who, more that likely, had a crappier-for-the-environment car.
This chain of cars will filter downward, until the 'least' roadworthy car falls off the end and is removed from circulation.
In theory, that is. In practice, every single person in the US does not shift cars upward one every time a new car enters the used car market. But that's basically what happens in the end. Better used cars come into the market, removing crappy used cars. (Instead of them getting repaired one more time, they just get scrapped.)
And a fundamental fact about crappy old broken-down cars is that on average, they suck gas, and spew pollution.
And, factually, removing that car is actually going to help the environment more than your hybrid ever will. Something like 80% of all car-produced pollution is made by 10% of the cars.
And that happened no matter what kind of car you purchase.
I'm not entirely sure where I was going with this. Heh.
Normal lead-acid batteries are much worse for the environment than the batteries in hybrid cars.
Gee, lead and sulfuric acid. Yeah, those are good things to be throwing around. Read the warnings on them some day. Basically, you're going to die just from looking at them.
Hybrids, however, are mostly nickel-metal hydride. I don't happen to have a hybrid, but oddly enough, I happen to possess an AA rechargable nickel-metal hydride battery right here, made by Rayovac. (I use all rechargables, but almost all of them are Alkaline. I only have two nickel-metal hydride.)
You want to know how many warnings are on it?
None. At all. Not a single one.
Not even the ones on normal alkaline batteries about how misusing them can cause them to leak or explode.
And you're a dumbass if you don't know that current hybrids generate electricity solely from their gasoline. (Which, incidentally, is something a few of us are trying to stop, because my state generates power almost solely from hydroelectric power, and we'd love to be able to go completely off fossil fuels.)
I drove a 1978 Chevy Malibu (The car I would want to operate if the world went Mad Max and I needed to drive around ramming other cars and deflecting bullets.), back when I first started driving full time.
This car had a leaky radiator. It leaked when it got hot. I had no money to fix it.
I drove it to school every weekday for a year, three semesters of college, about 10 miles away, on roads with heavy traffic and stoplights, and back, only refilling the radiator at home.
One day, my brother drove it instead of me, and overheated in twice on the way there. In fact, everyone but me started refusing to drive that vehicle, as it would overheat for them no matter how far they were going.
I learned to coast to stops, accelerate slowly, give the engine downhill boasts to get it over the next hill, slowly idle forward in stop-and-go traffic instead of stopping-and-going, and never, ever brake unless I had to.
To this day, seven years after that poor car finally refused to shudder to a start, I get about 15% better gas mileage than anyone else on the exact same vehicle in the exact same circumstances.
See, here in Atlanta we combine the best of both worlds. We have long highway commutes that are stop-and-go traffic. So if you get 20 mpg in stop-and-go traffic, and 30 mph on the highway, you should get 50 mpg here.
Yeah, all these people who talk about how the coldness in the winter makes them require a car are funny to read as someone who lived in Atlanta for a bit. Here it's not the cold that keeps people from walking to work, it's the heat.;)
While you can, in theory, walk to work in 95 degree heat and 95% humidity, you'll soon wish you hadn't as your sweat slowly creeps out of your airpits to met in the middle of your shirt and when you walk in the front door you sometimes pass out from the shock of the temperature drop. *whoosh* AHHHH! DEAR GOD THAT'S COLD! *leaps back out the door*
Until you've had socks so sweaty you physically couldn't remove them, you don't know what I'm talking about. Did you know you could sweat from the back of your hands?;)
Before people in Phoenix start talking about how 95 degrees is nothing, please note the humidity. We get that your thermometer goes up to 110 and ours only goes to 100. Your humidity, however, appears to go to 15%.
Admitted, very few people die from the heat compared to the cold, but it's not something you can just casually stroll more than a block or two in, especially not in a business suit.
An inverter that went from 300 DC to 110 AC would be somewhat more efficient than one that went from 12 DC to 110 AC, and much more efficient than going from 300 DC to 12 DC to 110 AC.
Hybrids are just designed to piss people off. You can't plug them in, and they have no inverter so you can't plug into them without wasting power. What the fuck are car companies trying to pull? Including that stuff would cost like 100 dollars.
I won't, as long as others don't make him out to be some sort of Howard Roark. That's really what I take issue with.
Mal has many motivations. His basic ones, in order of importance, are loyalty to his 'family', his freedom, which he interpets as 'not working for the Allience and able to go wherever he wants', and the fact he doesn't like to see 'innocent' people suffer.
He will not wander around solely fixing the last, so it is harder to see, because it would cause his first two to suffer. However, several times in the series he has put that movitation ahead of the others...when he took Simon and River on, when he gave back the medicine, when he protected that town for basically nothing (Our Mrs. Reynolds.), and when he saved that brothel.

Oh, I wasn't disputing that.
I was just wondering about the Battlestar Gallactica connection.
Yeah, that was cool. I've done that. (It was really easy to get a pass from your Congressman. Basically, just find his office, tell his people you're from his state, and, tada, pass to the house.)
The only odd thing was the rule against reading. Huh? No reading while sitting in the house?
Is everyone missing what happened there? There was no indication they were recreational drugs or that they had any non-medical purposes. Simon, at least, would have said something if any of them were likely to be misused. (Or just not put those on the list.)
Hence the only people anyone could sell them to would be doctors, or people who would turn around and sell them to doctors. It's not like random people would buy 500 mL of some obscure neural blocker.
Wash was merely suggesting cutting out the middleman and selling directly to the doctors. They could sell for cheaper and get more money. This was nixed because Mal had to do business with those middlemen again.
Ultimately, all that medicine ended up in doctor's hands. In theory, it could have ended up in the hands of doctors at the core planets who use stolen medicine to save a tiny amount of money.
However, I suspect all the middlemen that Mal sold to were strictly local guys, or he wouldn't have been running around making deliveries to various planets.
I said if he could redistribute wealth, he wouldn't hesitate.
Mal is not attempting to get 'rich'. Mal is attempting to get enough money where he does not have to rely on the Allience. Having money is not an ends, it is a means. You'll note that even after the one or two 'big scores', Mal kept doing exactly what he was doing.
That doesn't change the fact if he had some magical 'teleport half the wealth from the core planets to everyone else' button, he wouldn't hesitate to push it. Note what he thinks about the Allience dropping settlers on planets with some supplies and letting them die.
And did you not pay attention to the medicine resell? Wash suggested selling directly to the doctors, and Mal pointed out that cutting out the middleman was a really bad idea. This implied that the medicine was, ultimately, being sold to doctors, and stolen goods always sell for less. Robbing from the rich and selling it cheap to the poor, especially when you turn around and get your ship repaired by the poor, redistributes the wealth just as much as giving it away.
Oh, you mean the government on that planet?
And Mal makes a distinction between the rich and powerful who run things, and the government, why, exactly? Considering how little Allience control there is over local 'governments', where people like Niska can operate an armed space station, I really am not seeing the difference between 'people with big guns' and 'local government'.
And I don't know where you get the idea that because Mal doesn't kill people he approves of them. Mal kills dangerous people, people who could later harm them, and that's about it. People living on what he calls 'floating islands' are not a threat to him.
As for doing business with him, Mal does a lot of business with people he doesn't approve of. I suspect he approves of anyone who disapproves of Badger on general principles.;)
I don't necessarily agree that Firefly/Serenity is libertarian, it's merely a "frontier" universe instead, but that doesn't mean it's the opposite and Mal is an wealth hating collectivist instead.
I didn't say he was wealth hating. I'm just saying he's not happy with the unequal wealth distribution in the galaxy, and hence doesn't fit 'libertarian' ideals very well.

I don't know why you can just assert things like that.
And if we're going to build more not-perfect power plants, the least we could do is make them nuclear.
The location of CO2 is irrelevant only if your city doesn't suffer from occasional 'thermal inversions', which is when hot air from all the pollution gets trapped under cold air, and the entire city sits and sufficates.
In fact, I suspect all of them now do.
I'm not entirely sure how much natural resources this saves, but it sure as hell makes less pollution.

For example, you should not eat electic fans or video cassettes.
