  6. Re:cheaper mining? on NASA Strikes Gold and Water On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Why the crazy crack-piping hell are people talking as if bringing these minerals to earth is even a suggestion? The fact that these minerals are possible to find on the moon means that a future moonbase wouldn't have to rely entirely on shipments from earth to increase their available supply of these compounds. Can you imagine how much cash would be saved not having to bring water, let alone denser shit like gold, as payload from earth?

    hell it sounds like half the electronics for anything built spaceside or on the moon could be assembled using materials mined and processed outside earths gravity. with water processing to fill tanks or at least supply the manufacturers.

    Because you cant possible do without your own copy. I mean, its right in there with food shelter and basic services. Isn't it?

    By implying that you have some sort of need to consume their work but just can't or won't pay for it you're legitimizing the bastards. If no one decided to want personal copies of media that has shitty pricing, then the bastards would die out.

    Compared.

    Note that this is the amount spent per person not the amount spent by each person themselves, comparing the actual costs that have to be paid in the end [be it via government, insurance agency, or individual].

    Americans get rooked _hard_ on this front, and it applies to medical treatment and services as well as prescriptions. Looking at it from the outside the most amazing thing isn't that Obama came up with a poorly thought out health care reform for you, but that he managed to convince so many people that the problem was not how MUCH health care cost but simply who was going to pay for it.

    if health care cost were investigated compared to customary and reasonable costs in other countries with the findings publicized the cost of health care in america would most likely drop dramatically simply due to being shown for the scam that it is. Insurance rates would drop accordingly as then less coverage would be required to ensure a good safety net, either by regulation if it was government or by competition if it was private insurance.

    Still mind boggling that everyone just jumped on various sides of the universal insurance bandwagon without looking at WHY so many americans couldnt afford to be covered previously. Removing the right for pre-existing exclusions by companies is going to just make things even worse as the money to pay those grossly inflated services has to come from somewhere.

  14. Re:Public Company on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 2, Informative

    i think you're missing the point in that statement. if it is possible for anyone to buy shares in a corporation, the it is already bein publicly traded and ALL shareholders are supposed to have access to information that can affect the value of these shares.

    If it is a private company, no one can just up and say I'm buying shares in your company!! All investment terms are worked out as the owners of the private company decide (which has the side effect of making it more costly and difficult to get new investment than publicly traded companies, it's a trade-off

    choose to go public and you choose to lose the privacy in the hopes of gaining better, easier investments based on the rise in your company's value.

    IE it would be about as useful to say 'Distribution X has a higher name per unit time reported on google, thus involves searching for more help to install and administrate than Distribution Y'
