I didn't see anyone saying this before I did; in fact someone said it again after me further down the line (his is #35, mine is #23), and then #41. I didn't see this suggestion in any posts before, so what made what I said "redundant"?
Instead of refusing to take part in a IPO, why not take it and donate a hefty amount of money to some cause you feel is worthwhile?
The immoral powers that be rarely give the good people any chance to inflict change. Refusing their bounty is one way to send a message, but the most effective way to fight is to take from them (especially when they foolishly offer it to you) and give to the 'good guys'.
I think it is very true and when the time comes for a shakeout and the mass financial wipeouts (of people running unprofitable businesses whose stock is now worth $xxx per share) begin, there will be financial tidal waves all over the western world akin to a quarter mile wide comet landing in the Atlantic.
It's gonna happen. This overvaluation has to deflate sometime.
If you don't believe me check up on the 1920's.
BTW: Someone please moderate that man up. He deserves it.
Religion established for humanity that there was nothing that it could not explain. It's all just a matter of 'listening to God'. It's just a matter of serving God the right way.
Then science came along and proved that there is more to this universe than religion can explain.
Then science said that there is nothing in the universe that science cannot ultimately explain. It's all just a matter of getting the numbers and theories down right.
Then God got sick and tired of this bickering and invented String Theory.
Jon Katz might be wise to realize that the best wisdom is to talk to God while mastering the microscope. If we master science without talking to God, we'll obliterate ourselves. If we ignore science, we're ignoring God and we will be obliterated by a disease, or by a comet. If we listen to God, however, we will master the gravitons, skip across galaxies on tachyons, and we will ultimately discover that science is God's law, not the proof of a godless universe.
Of course we can also use science and misinterpret God and blow ourselves to extinction in a nuclear holy war, too.
I kinda agree. I expected it to stay around 2, but my god it went straight to 5 and then back to 4! Not that I ever want my posts moderated down, but man, that was extreme!
Scientists: What does the religious community think about this?
Religious community: *ahem* We think that this move will bring 1000 years of Karmic damnation upon humanity (1000 pages of proof ensues)
Scientists: Hmmmmmm.... intriguing. But we're gonna do it anyway. We invited your overly verbose hineys to the table as a PR thing, it ain't like we're gonna listen to anything you say!

Mucho fun on the IDG front. Seems my original diary entry started a small grass fire that then blazed out of controller across slashdot (not that slashdot is exactly known for its ablative properties). Anyway IDG are now paying some speakers on the basis of need. I'm told that some of it is a misunderstanding between their higher and lower echelons. I don't actually care too much if they've learned or just sorted a problem internally. Its now going in the right direction. I know Miguel of Gnome fame now has his funding sorted.
Three words for ya, guys: Alan Cox 3:16.
And what did he do then?
They did offer to pay my travel expenses but since they can only fund some people I figure they should fund others instead. The Bazaar can afford me somehow on their low budget but IDG can't on their not insustantial price per stand budgetting. I don't wish to overtax IDG's budget.

How would I get to this "Microserver" page? I get the impression that this product is.. rather.. buried..in the site. You know, like on page A16 of the LA Times..?

I said they'd get sued and I also predicted why. (check out my post News From January 2001?)
They want have complete control over who accesses their content, and the internet is proving to make that impossible, especially for non-cable/pay-per content.
I also stated (in an off sorta way) that part of their reason for suing will be because they paid for the content and iCraveTV didn't. Take note that they did say they are putting profits aside for the sake of compensating the people whose feeds they rebroadcast. I think this will seriously damage any case these companies have against iCraveTV in Canada and in the eyes of the CRTC.
I knew this was gonna happen. heh.
By the way does Canada have anti-SLAPP laws like we do in California, and would it apply to this situation?
And if you want to keep Rome from getting built, you kill Romulus and Remus, if you can. Or you severely limit how much land they can build on. Or you keep an eye on what their descendants are doing, and match them. But you absolutely positively do not sit and wait until Alexander the Great is storming Cairo!
You can also piggyback by responding to an earlier post, in order to be more likely to be seen by a moderator who still has moderation points.
Hmmmmmmmm.... I think I'll write a page about how to get moderated up at slashdot.....
