    Send them even more spam but faking it so they look like there from his competitor.

  2. USA Numb er one! on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 1

    This seems to be a European thing. With them, it always cannot be done, and it never gets done. Short of socialism and scarcity, and nasty close wound cities that smell of sewage and garbage, there is little else that they've accomplished.
    Im with you 100% there buddy. My pa was posted to Berlin back in '45 and most of the buildings didn't have windows or door's. Heck, most didn't even have walls!

    Put it another way: Einstein, Von Braun, Bell, Darwin - where are the european equivalent's of them?
  3. Re:Forbidden by law on The One-Use, Self-Destructing DVD Returns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Your probably missing the fact that 1 dvd watched 200 times isn't equal to 200 dvd's watched 1 time each.

    Time Warner and the like have practically 0% of their cost of business in the infrastructure once its built.
    You can live like a king without working once you have a few million dollars. The tricky bit is after 'once' in both case's.

    Capital has a cost even if it's the oportunity cost of just letting it earn interest. Not that telco's don't indulge in shady practice but your rant is a fallacy.

    So at least you know something... here's some thing else, resorting to spelling and grammer flame's meansd you lost the argument.

  6. Re:7 years long enough on What's the Solution To Intellectual Property? · · Score: 1

    certain works require a lifetime of brutal work from a developer. Other works are a whim or a gimmick that happens to catch on a bit. They do not deserve equal legal status.
    Who decides that x is deserving and y is not? Hour's put in does not corelate with the quality or performance of the output.

    doubt there are many economists who, when being mugged in the street, would see it as an example of the market working effectively.
    Then they are idiots, clearly if they had considered the possabilty and weighed the pro's and con's they would have employed a bodyguard.

    although I didn't major in economics
    So what your saying is you know the convenional theory's, which I already showed are wrong, and you don't even know those properly.

    Sorry but if an undergrad minor is you're best qualification to speak as an authoraty, then digg is over there.

    There's no evil entity here to blame
    Everybody knows the jews are behind it all. This is just a symptom of the whole fiat money (i.e worthless paper) scam started by moneylenders bamboozeling some inbred english idiot like george 3rd.
  10. Re:Possession is nine tenths of the law. on The Case for Lunar Property Rights · · Score: 1

    Actually, your using market incorrectly - as most of the uninitiated do. It really means just another word for competition, and has been sanitized (along with many things in current so-called economics) to mean competition through money. Thus the war's betwen carthage and rome, or england and france were just another form of market, except the bidding was done with sword's and gun's.

  11. Re:After the OpenSSL bug on Coding Flaws Caused Moody's Debt Rating Errors · · Score: 1

    the whole point behind most code verification approaches is that it can be verified automatically.
    Im assuming here that the automatic verification is doen by somee form of software so how can we be sure that the 'verfication engine' is correct? Sorry if its a stupid question but its not my area and it reminds me of 'who made god' kind of arguements.

    Developers place bids (cash and project proposals) to develop the property and written into the contract is the requirement to meet those proposals.
    Sound's an awful lot like communism to me. Why can't we learn the sesson how we tried government meddling in the free market on earth and see where that ended up. Its depressing that the first thing we want to do in space is set up soviet styled collective's.

    There's not really time in a 4 year degree (well, along with all the other crap that goes into it) to teach someone the kinds of things you need to know to be a good business application developer and to teach someone the kinds of things you need to know to be a good embedded applications developer.
    Well hello. Likewise there's not time to teach engineer's how to build a sport's stadium, an automotive gearbox, an electric motor and an oil refinery.

    Have you got time to talk to, emm, a Mr Adam Smith calling from 1776?
