Everything up to college is free, and vast numbers of students squander that. The rates for remedial courses in college is huge. If people don't value free education before college, what makes you think they'll value free college?
Your descendants can benefit from it. Sell copies of your book, then invest your money like everybody else that has to continue working over and over again to continue getting paid. Why do you believe you're so special that you should be able to work once, and then you and your progeny get paid indefinitely?
Why should copyright have anything to do with the creator's lifespan? The goal of copyright is to encourage people to create, not to set people up with lifelong income streams.
That's my point. If you're going to claim the rebate is designed to help create a charging network, why not subsidize that directly rather than provide cash back to individual car buyers? As usual, government incorrectly identifies the problem and misapplies the wrong solution.
Yeah, well iPhone fans used to mock large screen Android devices. "That huge screen is too big, the iPhone 4 has the ideal screen size." Until the 5 shipped, at which point that had the perfect screen size.
There's simple no reasoning with enthralled fanatics.
So you believe risk should only be on the consumer side? Why aren't the developers risking anything by putting their time in and at least demonstrating some ability to deliver?
Unfortunately, regulation intended to pick the honest quite commonly does exactly the opposite. Those with the connections to get away with being dishonest can do so while those playing by the rules get screwed.
That sounds magical. So they're both lowering the price of their product and increasing profit while having already spent money on the switch to solar?
Please show me the hard numbers on how that works for a specific company.
I don't recall the 1870s having food stamps, section 8 housing, earned income tax credits giving you more money than you paid in, free emergency room care, etc. 150 years ago, you came her and worked your ass off or you died. There was no option to simply live off the labor of others.
You said the magic word. Willpower. It has nothing to do with money, it has to do with convenience. Americans have become lazy fat fucks, and it's easier to eat poorly than well. It has little to do with money.
Doritos are cheap? Compare them pound for pound with a bag of apples and get back to me. I get tired of this fucking lame ass excuse that eating healthy food is too expensive.
I'm quite lazy as well, and have also coasted through life on being able to pull off a win at the last minute. Didn't do the homework? I'll bang something out between classes and it will be better than what most people spent hours slaving over. Didn't study for the test? I learned most of it while staring at the ceiling in class so I can pull off an A to help make up for the homework I didn't feel like doing. Hell, my interviewing (read: bullshitting) skills paired with my intelligence are good enough that I'm making far more money than my effort really deserves.
I don't know if schools are necessarily setting people up, but I was certainly never instilled with a work ethic. Which is why I too am perusing Slashdot at work.

Really? Using what server? Run by who? If you want guaranteed privacy, keep your data off a network.

You're kidding, right?

By taking the taxes paid by some middle class people and giving it to other people who make the "right" decision. Fuck social engineering.

Math/statitics fail.
Then why is the government rebating the individual purchaser of an expensive car rather than spending that money on building charging stations?
You've been hoodwinked.

I would guess that the vast majority of big publishing house books aren't very successful either.

Oh look, another fucking moron to suck the first moron off.
Are you a fucking moron? How are you blaming this on libertarians?
A publisher paranoid about prohibited copying may be willing to license its game at a lower price if the game program never leaves the server.

You don't actually think digital text books are free, do you?
That sounds magical. So they're both lowering the price of their product and increasing profit while having already spent money on the switch to solar?

Except now Streisand could go back and demand that every page talking about the Streisand Effect forget her, essentially eliminating the effect.
I wouldn't mind it if both opposing groups simply vanished. The sane people stopped listening to either group of idiots long ago.
By "good reason" do you suppose they meant "not stopping any attacks on US soil"? Because from where I sit, that seems to be their primary function.
