The description of the individual's dedication to the field does not validate possession of superuser powers. Perhaps the description is an unfair one. Either way, putting specialists between a legit C and a switch is how you ensure moderation and peer review in a hierarchy. So dude prolly needed an Actionable Process more than direct access.
Good luck if you are going to exclude the already captured, already cheap hydrocarbon sources.
We agree, I think. Harvesting energy is like the traditional domestication of horses. You do not raise a lithe Dandy to run itself to death except in the case of final defense. You do not raise a Dray to outpace a Dandy, nor to eat through your pantry.
Fast energy supplies should be kept fresh and available in reserve. Slow energy should be expected to pay incremental dividends each day in a methodical manner.
Does that have something to do with the story or are you making fun of the origin of my nick - which has to do w/the apocalypse, not creation. I'll woosh myself just in case... *woosh*
For example, the White House's National Science and Technology Council recently issued a notice in the Federal Register looking for public input on development and implementation of future standards. "The subcommittee is seeking answers to such questions as: How is the Federal government doing with respect to standards activities? What works well? What can be improved? The challenges of the 21st century, including the need to build a clean energy economy, reduce the high cost of health care, and secure our information technology systems, require that we actively consider ways to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of the standards development process. Send responses to SOS_RFI@nist.gov," according to the to the government's Office of Science and Technology Policy blog.
Seems like this is the part that would draw more readers on this site.
First, I don't believe you are actually addressing the point made above. 'Rent' is a commentary on the intersection of interest with the origin/dynamic of capital acquisition/maintenance. A more software relevant example would be in the question of what qualifies as rent now that software is making the final transition to Public Good status.
As far as I can tell, m00t has an idea that rent is paid by originality - see the 4chan cancer problem. Linus feels that rent is paid by people that choose to find their own interest in his company. Taco apparently thinks rent is paid by not abusing his board too heavily. All of these forms of rent have other facets that result in income - the evolution of content through distributed action, large scale data sets demonstrating patterns of attraction, the reputation/rank/tradition that establishes advertising desirability.
On the IP side of things a more accurate translation to real estate terms would be that your $100,000 home improvement only costs that much because of collusion between the builder, the material suppliers, and the governing authorities. IMHO the IP players are price fixing in an attempt to keep their industry from collapsing into Public Good status. I can prove this by the fact that the cost to infringe upon a lot of IP is sitting down in front of your computer and programming something in an obvious way, then finding out via a lawyer that you have violated IP rights. With a cost of infringement that low the IP is demonstrating its invalid nature.
Until I really got involved in Linux I was more tolerant of tech IP. When your base OS is only a suggestion of packages that work well together, and it is your job to customize the computer, you end up realizing just how many patents you are violating with nothing more that custom configuration of existing libraries and basic knowledge common to the field.
Long story short, Rent becomes a metaphysical concept where we are going. There isn't much to do about it, people want to eat and more are learning to grow their own every day. Did that even address the point? Not sure. Hope so.
The system gets the joke. They also have to live with the consequences of change. At this point any IP changes will make a global impact, and must be considered both as Domestic and Foreign Policy.
I hate it too. Find thanks in the fact that we are not waking up to this steaming pile on our plate each morning. Someone is, though.
My understanding is that anyone that posts here is already being monitored. That isn't to say you are elevated in any way./. showed up specifically in at least one DHS report, but is not listed in the last schedule I saw on a leak site. Maybe just a different department. Don't know.
Pervert and a Prude. Come on 'spewey, you can't go making too many distinctions with a nick like that. At a certain level it all spews, man - it all spews.
I post without my karma bonus for a reason. I know I don't belong at +2 to start. That being said, the mindlessness gets to me and some days I do want to be a jerk.
A post that includes something like this is trash:
I hate religious conversation because it's generally a waste of time but, unfortunately, there is a reason people generalize about Christians being against everything related to freedom and choice.
It does not bother me that it gets modded up, but don't people see this bias is being applied to all of humanity by all sides. Bring up any topic - Islam, Evolution, Global Warming - and otherwise well spoken people start talking like they couldn't think their way out of a paper bag.
Take the Bible literally? You mean like believing that there have been many tribes since recorded history began, and will be many tribes until the end? Or did you mean interpreting the words literally?
At least in the U.S. most content fundies basically boil the Book down to "We will, We will rock you." They are simply noisier than the others... which the Book suggests we should allow them to be. Look up flagellation.
Two different things, the form and the content, you know?
I'm out, all I have is this shrubbery. In fact, I'm coming to terms with the fact that I may, in fact, be a shrubber - given how often I find myself be-shrubbed.
Bell curve dude. You got one system out in the fourth standard deviation.
I don't know about that. I'm not an over-clocker, but my C-64 SX, Amiga 2000, and my grandmother's 8086 on which she wrote her life story all still boot. Computers Pentium era and later I have had fail for all sorts of reasons - and I am not including any sort of storage failure - that is a different issue.
I'm betting the problem is just the integrated aspect of everything. My mother's expensive laptop had everything and the kitchen sink on-board - and then the wireless stopped powering up or something... Doorstop despite the fact that it has more computing power than all my fossils combined.
Anyhow, I'll check my museum pieces again in 2-3 years. Worst problem so far was actual storage media failing - but the net provides and I found the images on-line along with replacement media.
The only reason we trust people is because they build up a reputation over time. Unfortunately, reputation is a double-edged sword: it means that what you do and say has consequences. That's kind of the point, though - people generally don't like hanging out with people who aren't willing to stand behind their words and actions, because perfect consequence-freedom tends to breed irresponsibility.
This is only true if the majority of practitioners in your field of speech are also known. Any field where the total publicly known practitioners are fewer than constitutes a majority of all practitioners requires more complex analysis.
I wonder, though, how you feel about total delegation positions? There are difficulties in accountability when the speaker and the doer are always two different parties, even when both parties are known. Isn't this institutionalized freedom from consequence provided the speaking party makes every appearance of legality, thought the acting party will commit a crime? The speaking party is protected so long as the acting party can be safely sacrificed, right?
Wouldn't perfect anonymity provide a similar mechanism for the individual? The speech won't burn you, but any actions may result in penalty.
Anyhow, I like being able to talk with the assumption that only site administration and people guilty of what I consider to be a crime have access to my specifics. It's even better when someone you have conversed with over time brings up something you posted AC while replying to your non-ac post elsewhere.
I wonder how many delusional ACs are furiously grinding their HDDs into dust as we speak. Well done martin-boundary. You have most likely just destroyed the/. conspiracy theory community.
If you have wood floors it is possible to train with thumps. Have to use clicks if not. My little one not only comes and goes when asked, but also follows hand directions and tattles on her sister when she gets in trouble (ie: eating a stash of rubber-bands).
When people see here come to get me for the first time they start making jokes about Ruby coming to tell me that Timmy is stuck in the well like Lassie (animal t.v. star). Then they start to realize that she really is talking to me and wanting me to follow her to see something and everyone gets kinda quiet and unsure of what to say.
Though the Lapp figure is clearly identified as a Tolkienesque Wose, the melding of pagan mythology with Christianity over the years is fascinating.
Even more interesting is the range of names attributed to this one figure. A small selection: Chläus - Pretty standard Kinderfresser - Child Eater Old Scratch - Used for Satan directly in early America
And before there were elves there were the dark helpers with names like: Black Peter Claws The Dark One The Dark Helper
Anyhow - agreed that this thing go much further back than any add campaign. At least far enough back for the symbols to infiltrate and merge with ancient pagan teachings all over the world.
Or are you thinking he is just bragging about being autistic?
I was mainly expressing solidarity through humor that someone who has gone through the labeling process might find funny. The fact that many self-diagnosed individuals like to brag about autism spectrum disorders does bother me, though.
It is pretty silly the way behaviorism is leading to subjective conditions. That doesn't mean there aren't millions of people that might be helped by a little more research into human behavior.
The branding is lame, but the intention might have some wiggle room before being condemned to death. I have tried several times to find open source sites that were trying to bridge the knowledge gap with new Linux users. It is tough. If the subject is tackled with the same underlying educational bent as the old pub then maybe it will prove useful.
The biggest WIN would be if they could stake out the meeting ground between the uneducated user and the over-matched admin. I don't think anyone is doing this particularly well right now.
Focusing on threes would be good. A fluffy Esther Schindler type buzz-fest for the C level, an insightful feature/spec commentary for the implementors, and a consumer empowerment style review of associated devices/products for the honey-bees. Then you tie it together with well staffed forums.
That would be refreshing, right? If anything, a quick swim through the more technical parts of the forums could put some pie-in-the-sky C* types into their places;) It can be healthy to clack decision makers in the balls on occasion.

stonewallred, I have something hugely disappointing to share with you. The baby Jesus in and of Himself is not all that special.
Now, the Baby Jesus in rainbow short-shorts and on roller-skates... that sorta shit would save Vegas in a time of famine.
Yeah, fine. That doesn't go far these days.
I have evidence that the CIA intentionally left evidence of potential CIA malfeasance in Switzerland for Swiss investigators to find.
Wanna do another go-round? Maybe this time you can (wo)man up and post non-anon?
Sorry, point is, talk about them here.

Hmmm.. DHS head is suddenly abroad and discussing the future of international aviation. Too Big To Fail is meeting Who Will Stop The Rain.

They arm instead.
The mods are d3d. Where is the modern movement for intelligent deconstruction? The above is +5 funny. I'm tired of playing sonar in this pond.
