In conventionel ecconomic theory's they do. But the difference between theory and practice is that in theory, they're the same and in practice they arent.
face time was everything, and where it was assumed that there was a simple direct correllation between employee work and productivity.
It's much easier to measure the time you put in than the code you produce. In that example your a programmer, but you could say the same for most 'brain' jobs.
Of course he wasn't listening, that's why he's a marxist. He wants us all to be subsistence farmers - it would work (maybe) if the poplation was reduced to like 1/10th of what it is now. No doubt he'd be willing to choose - on totally objective criterion's - who lives and who die.
the manual dexterity of a 10 year old is adequate to the task of disassembling the OLPC, pulling the motherboard, then putting it all back together again.
So employing kids to build them would be a good way of getting the cost down?
Do you mean the crap you posted about the Swiss copying the English flag? As I'm sure has been mentioned elsewhere, the Swiss flag has an odd aspect ratio (thats to say it's almost square - most other flags are around 3:2) plus the cross of the Swiss flag is 'trimmed', i.e the ends of the arms do not reach the edges.
There are only so many colors, so the same combninations will pop up from time to time. You conveniently choose to ignore all the countries in europe that don't have other color combinations on their flags - most of the skandinavians for example.
Rather impressive. I'm wandering how he got round the time limits and also managed to do it without someone else getting one inbetween. Open multiple browsers via different proxy's? Some kind of bot? A group effort?

Don't worry, we ran our's and it told us they'd do that.

They nicked the idea of crucifiction fronm the carthaginain's.
We should return to the gold standard. It has more intrinsic worth than paper money, which is just a legalized IUO. You can't print gold.
Uranium is a heavy element, and the Earth's crust has plenty of it. Or perhaps Uranium mines are much deeper than I thought.
