I hope it works for him. I would have replied but I am not a pirate. I saw his reply and I have to wounder if he got what the real problem is. It's not DRMs or whatever (but this stuff did make it worse) because DRMs were a solution to the problem, not the cause. Its that the market has changed. Quick, easy to get information is just about the motto of the internet (just look at iTunes). These dinosaurs are still using outdated methods to make people pay allot or no game. The ONLY time they don't run into heavy pirate problems is when they use OTHER systems to get their money and just let the game spread like wildfire (didn't say it had to be free). By simply not placing a scarcity on availability of game data (like by high cost, DRMs, no download option, etc,) it will spread like crazy and they can then profit form it. So the question is how do you still make money without constricting the availability of the game to high costs and travel time? Bands have long gotten most of their money not from CD sales but from concerts after distribution if CDs created a fan base. We are in the information age where information gets around fast and these developers need to realize that their public changed and they didn't.
A product is of on value until it is placed in the hands of someone that can use it. Open source will never best companies like Microsoft and Apple because most of the world can't use it's unfriendly products. Taking the care to ensure that the software is usable by an end user is what gives it a finishing touch that customers will respond to. Case in point is the Apple corporation. I don't know that they have a shred of technical innovation in them, yet the simple act of making technology both sexy and friendly has turned them into a giant.
We would have a big problem with pulling power off the grid to charge these cars if all charging of electric cars is done during the day at around 4oClock. However there is nothing stopping us from charging at home at night. This is currently the lowest peak time for the power grid. You can charge at home and use public recharging stations during the day for trips beyond the car's battery range.
I think it is quite admirable that some people want to get into space exploration ASAP but using the ISS as a ship may not be the best way.
I see many ideas for exploration right now but a lack of future ideas for where we are going. Using the ISS as a ship is one such idea.
I find it destressing that NASA should think of the ISS as a waste and want to drop it fast. On a short term basis the ISS may not be too handy in LEO. But a mission to Mars would be much longer then anything we have done so far and the ISS is the perfect place to test long term ideas so that the first people to Mars do not have to go with equipment that has never been field tested.
If we leave the ISS right where it is, what could it be used for? How could it be of real benefit?
For one, it could be used to test long term habitats so that future missions don't have to go with nothing but prototypes. Another thing it could be used for is if a construction apparatus was added to it, we could make large structures such as telescopes or large solar arrays that we would never be able to make and launch in one peace.
And then there is my favrate: A real Space Ship. Large enough to be of some size, (bigger then would fit on a single rocket)we could make a combination solid and ion engine craft that was bare basic (perhaps it could be computer controlled) and could be tested on the moon that would be later capable of long missions to Mars and beyond. If the craft was autonomous, had a power plant, engines and frame work, we could add modules to it to carry people and have it take equipment to Mars and beyond. Being fully reusable it could go to the moon and back, Mars and back and so on.
Microsoft as been getting a bad name for products. Some people even like to enjoy the companies troubles. But it is this company and it's marketing/profit seeking executives that (for all their evils) brought us into the mass-use of personal computers.It would seem that money and concepts of "controlling the market" have gotten in the way. But they may get it right yet. They have gotten big enough that not even a large setback like Vista will be enough to pull them down. Next is MinWin. It is exactly what they need. They have to tame the PC and the many applications that fight for attention of both the person and the computer's resources. They need to strip the PC back to a state that smoothly presents a simple yet workable design. In other words see to it that the computer adapts and works for the person. Every great step the PC has seem was when this cold and impersonal machine was made more able to serve and adapt to the person's needs. Not loads of frivolous extras. There is nothing wrong with all those extras, they just need to be what the person WANTS, not what was forced on him and takes his computer away from being of help to him.
There is something important missing. The young of today never learned how to learn. They get spoon fed facts and we say they are smart if they grasp it. But what if the data is not already on a spoon for feeding? Do they know how to find the facts for themselves? Have you ever run across some guy with crazy mixed up ideas who has clearly accepted unreal ideas and believes them to his core even when he should be able to see the problems right in front of him? What is wrong is not that the person is "stupid", it is that he does not know how to think and thus spot the truly relevant facts. We may call them stupid for not having sorted out the facts, but perhaps they would have if they just know how. Perhaps all the many people running around with crazy misconceptions would have sorted them out if they just learned how to learn and sort things out for themselves.
Your right. Truth is there is no good reason to have long drown out investigations. With computers we have the ability to make a large amount of data accessible for use in an instant. However there is another side to this. And that is on how to learn something. When did you or anyone else here ever learn how to learn? The question may sound stupid but perhaps that is the problem. Do you know how to learn anything, anything at all? What to do to be able to learn anything, even subjects that have no real background already done? Sure you may know how to learn something, but do you really know all that you need to be able to anything without question? I tend to think that a lack of such a think in education may be the reason why people will so easily accept trash as fact. Have you ever seen a complaint about stupid people being common in our world today? Did you ever think it may be because we don't teach people how to think correctly? How to learn and think for themselves? They see a tabloid and it says that "X" is a fact. Can they tell the difference? Did they ever learn how to think at all and break it down into facts or fiction, did they ever learn how to say "That makes no sense"? Perhaps if they did, they would not make such mistakes.
There are two points I have not seen in the many posts on this so far:
1. Is a possible reason. As I grew up I had it said to me a few times that the money was in areas like being a doctor. Has anyone else run into this? You get told that being a doctor gets you allot of money and is not as hard. This alone may be the reason. We promote other fields to our young. When was the last time you hear someone say, "Become a engineer and make lots of money".
2. Next is what this means for the US. We are the leaders in these areas because of what your fathers did. THEY studied these subjects and MADE us a leader. If we are not studying to stay the leaders here the leader will shift to another country as it will be them that have trained people, not us, as our experts will have grown old and died off. This point may not be seen by some that are used to thinking in time spans that are too short to see this. 100 years form now, do you think we will still be the leader if this continues?
As a friend of mine says "I would rather they spend this money on space then on rockets with warheads pointed at me." The fact is that welfare and is very nice but does not change the problem. Spend a billion on it today and you will be guaranteed one thing, you will need two billion the next year. There is something being mist by people that say we need to spend it on our internal troubles first. And that is that after the money is spent it buys tomorrow but what about the day after? People don't just stand around doing nothing, they need a place to go or they will come after you. This planet is just about maxed out, we need a place to go or war will be the only future we have.
What is "illegal" on a laptop that comes into the country? I can understand stuff like plans for a bomb or correspondence with a terrorist group. But that has to be an extreme. So what else are they looking for?
I just want to add to that. We have microscopes that can see things that lensed based scopes can not see. The ones I am referring to use magnetic fields to control the light and bring it up to something a camera can see. There is no reason this can not be revered for a telescope to see details at much greater distances. We have no need for them here on Earth and have not got such a thing working yet (not that I know of). However if life on another planet had a higher level of technology, and more importantly a reason to make such a thing that could see that far) there is no reason it could not be made. We still have no idea how good such a system would be. Perhaps if an alien had this, he could have Google Earth like pictures of Earth.
Agreed! Right now you can go buy something at the store and find it fails to perform in some way. In space, that could easily cost you your life. We have to reach for the stars, our future depends on it. But you can't reach for something like space all in an instant. It does take time to see what you are looking at and what it will take.
The problems the ISS are having are almost good. They are REAL. They MUST be solved before we can move on. No one in their right mind would want to step onto one of our spaceships and try to go very far. You will not make it with this flimsy technology. It is simply that this is new to us. Poor workmanship and poor design have gotten us this far. But if we want to go lightyears farther we need to fix the little things that we could pass over in the years that have gone by and find out what it takes to survive in space.
We in fact have come along way. Don't get distracted by "another problem", it was ALWAYS there, it is just that we got far enough to finally see it.
More money does not mean a better education. Yes there is a point where you have no paper and no teachers and so on. That is an extreme. But Poor and failing teaching methods will need more money to get the same result. The number of people qualifying as "less than par" is going up. And I don't just mean that its because there are more ppl in the world. The percentage is falling. Even with far more money and lots of sympathetic ppl we are getting more failures then ever. With more money, (as can be seen over the last 50 years) we will get even worse education than ever b4. What is wrong here is that it was getting better and then ALL OF A SUDDEN it starts getting worse. You would think ppl would stop to note what changed. But instead we poor more money and get more educational failures. I will give everyone a hint: We changed the WAY WE TEACH PPL. That was all that happened. Money had nothing to do with it and so does nothing to improve it.
The idea that Evolution is a fact is both right and wrong. When you see the change is life over the ages you can't really say there is no such thing. But, our science goes a little beyond that. It adds it's own conjecture that we have gotten smarter and adds that that is fact. Now where is the proof of this? Sure we have buildings and cars and planes today. But if we didn't have 1000s of years of ppl before us we would be too stupid to put it all together in a heart beat now. This opens a question. What is intelligence? I see ppl today that have done amazing things with the knowledge they have, but in history, I see ppl that were very smart too. So evolution is a fact. But it does not have the rule it is made out to be. And that opens the door to arguments like "God" on with no one can know but to show another with faith. And faith has a hard time when up against fact.
I bet he is being payed to say that. There is no need for the Linux community to change their rivalry. Microsoft IS good at things. But they are FAR from perfect. There is plenty to go at them about. It would to stupid for anyone else (that does not offer an OS to attack someone that does). So there is no one in the world that is better suited for it. We all love a good challenge.;)
I see people talking about the mobile market. But just about not one talking about the stationary market. I see that small devices will become popular but so will the PC's at home. The difference is that just like your hot water heater or your A/C, the PC will disappear into the home. You can already see the new Windows Home Server. The stupid guys that sell these things did not make it a kit that anyone can buy. All they have to do is make a cheap kit that can get the PC case out of the living space with a combination wireless and wired setup. Also make a kit for new homes and apartments still being made. The PC will see its end. The future has a mobile (or stationary) user friendly device and a heavy weight server to keep the device useful. Many of the new items for the home (like Microsoft's Surface) could in fact be handled by a server that interfaces with the device. The only reason this has not already happened is that the PC market was changing too fast. Anything you bought would be outdated soon after. But this is now not no the case. Too bad no one seems to realize that. The only thing really advancing right now is the video game market. But you see video game consoles selling like hot cakes not PCs. The future is the home server supporting lots of toys and the toys having what is needed to handle the job they are dedicated to (i.e. ipods with what is needed to play music, game consoles with graphic power, TV's with a big displays, etc,.) all kept running with a home server. It seems people don't think this stuff through enough when they create a story like this one. The result is very expensive devises that have to do everything because they are not supported.
There is a confusion here. These issues are not stated properly so they sound the same.
Some facts will help clarify:
1. Laws exist to protect a country or nation. No law should ever be created that does otherwise. If there ever should be one created it is void by default. Like wise, anyone that seeks to harm that group voids his claim to protection under law, but only so long as that person remains a threat. Like wise, no law may threaten the prosperity of someone that strongly helps that group, nation,... etc. The idea is that you need to keep the group together and successful and support the actions that forward this and eradicate anything that harms the group. In this way, you can have a future. Laws exist to make it known what will and will not lead to prosperity. The penalty of law exists to make it undesirable to do harmful acts.
2. Not every one is a criminal. Most people are good and only need the occasional reminder to stay on the side of good and right. Those that truly are destructive will rarely even notice if their is a law there prohibiting their actions. So making laws that will put everyone into the right will never work and will only inhibit those that follow the laws.
3.Inspection before the fact. You can destroy any group in history by tying them down with inspections. That things move fast is the vital life line of anyone. Greater success, more money, a better life and so on often hinges on finding something successful and doing lots of it. But inspection will slow you down. If you slow everyone down with inspections you, all on your own, can take down anyone. Done in the name of finding the nar-do-wells it is sometimes mist that this alone can cause untold damage over many other forms. This has caused more damage in history than any other due to the simple fact that it gets mist. The only way it can be implemented without harm is to find a way to monitor that does not interfere with the rate of flow. Remaining off the path of traffic and only stopping those that are found to be problematic.
4. Criminals will not allow honest people to live successfully. There is a difference in personality between the person that seeks to help others and the person that seeks to harm others. Criminals adopt a method of thinking that seeks to find people that are successful and stop them. It is not just that they will take without compensation. They can just outright harm with no benefit to anyone. The more power a criminal is given the more destruction can be caused. Truly insane people are attracted like magnets to positions of power. Such people often mask their actions in the name of good. All the while ruining lives. For this reason it is important to remove such people and not to grant power until they are proven and even then not drop your guard.
5. One of the most favored activities of the criminal type is to find blackmail material. Why? Because if you knew that something was very harmful, would you do it? Not likely. And they know this. This posses a problem, how do you get someone to do something harmful that he would not do otherwise? More over, such a criminal personality is seeking to harm. So the thinking becomes: How can I force this person to harm with harmful means? After all, one of the most harmful things a person can do is to make another guilty of a destructive act. Such a person needs information that will bring about this reaction. Many a government surveillance agency has become the blackmail acquisition arm of a crazy person. The key difference was to make it possible to get information on people that were NOT criminals. As no sane person cares about the minor misdeeds of a good person. But to a crim, this stuff is like gold, you can't live without it.
6. The right to privacy under law. There has been argument as to should people have privacy. But in fact it was already decided when it was found that not having it is incredibly destructive. You have the right to privacy. These rights hold so long as you do not harm others. You are innocent until proven guilty because it is FAR more

I hope it works for him. I would have replied but I am not a pirate. I saw his reply and I have to wounder if he got what the real problem is. It's not DRMs or whatever (but this stuff did make it worse) because DRMs were a solution to the problem, not the cause. Its that the market has changed. Quick, easy to get information is just about the motto of the internet (just look at iTunes). These dinosaurs are still using outdated methods to make people pay allot or no game. The ONLY time they don't run into heavy pirate problems is when they use OTHER systems to get their money and just let the game spread like wildfire (didn't say it had to be free). By simply not placing a scarcity on availability of game data (like by high cost, DRMs, no download option, etc,) it will spread like crazy and they can then profit form it. So the question is how do you still make money without constricting the availability of the game to high costs and travel time? Bands have long gotten most of their money not from CD sales but from concerts after distribution if CDs created a fan base. We are in the information age where information gets around fast and these developers need to realize that their public changed and they didn't.

The ISS has it's advantages right where it is.
