Hey man - I like your post because you seem to have it right. I have been a mystic for the last 10 years now. I don't practice a religion or a teaching, as you say, i find truths by careful observation of everyday things.. and i have come across some very "scary" truths. One of them is an explanation for magic. I have come to realize that black magic and white magic are the same force, just that one is done for good and the other is done for evil. I have also figured out how magic works, its basically the power of belief, which is supplemented by the power of "naming" I call this general process "kerning" (its my own term =P ) Basically if you are trying to understand things like magic then you have to take a little bit from each source you come across, hold it in the back of your mind, till you can iterconnect it to something else that you come across that seems related. The skill of finding relevent links between two or more ideas is the key. If you don't have the skill, you're likely to come to some BS conclusion.. but if you are good at it, then you will discover truth. Perhaps if you do not have much skill you can practice on making predictions of economic events or world events and in the next 6 months and if they come true, you know that you can trust your skills. It took me 10 years to understand "magic", not that I was trying, for in mysticism, you don't "try" anything... things come to you.. its like starting with a puzzle piece and just going through life sifting through puzzle pieces, being keenly aware of the piece you have, so that when you can recognize the kind of piece you are lookin for. And as you know.. you only know what the connector for that piece your looking for should look like, that is like one of the connectors on your piece... so you can never really know exactly what the piece will look like since it will have other connectors that you don't know about... so that is like real mystic practices where you know only partially what you are looking for. Also if you don't have that much "skill" in finding links between pieces, you may try to fit a piece that doesnt quite fit and force it to fit, and as you know this will introduce cascading errors, deviating more and more from the truth.... that is why most people fail, because of their impatience or their lack of observation skills. Anyway, msytics are philisophical hackers... yea thas right. Most posts on this subject are unenlightened. All of ya are a bunch of trolls on this subject.. haha, kinda ironic how you all think i'm the troll.. fug you all, err except for you LionKimbro.

It depends on what we want for our future. Right now techies go to work, program away like slaves and come back home to tinker with their own programs. In the future... we will not be so dependent on the corporation. We will become empowered and wield unprecedented influence in world affairs. Though new technologies may help us better understand our world neighbors at a more intimate level, yet we can't expect to know enough about a country simply by an IRC chat or email. Simply put, we need to know our human history. Also we have to realize the complications of the technologies that we create. If we create things blindly without putting boundaries on things, we risk putting humanity in grave danger. Just think of homegrown genetic virus in the equivalent hands of those who run DDOS attacks now a days. Or imagine pushing laws back further and further, so things like drugs become legal or we decide that religion has no place in government. In case you didn't know, its to religious ideals instituted by our forefathers in the constitution that is just barely keeping this nation together.
Now back to history. We can learn history on our own, but it would be nice if someone would help answer our questions when we are stuck, help pace us through our studies and put us in an environment where we can get feedback from our peers... oh wait a second.. the educational system does that. Gosh how about that.

Hahaha, i use W2K every day and it hasnt crashed on me once. Then again, im running a K6-3 with 320 MB RAM. Heheh if your running a 486 with 20 mb i can see why your windows is crashing so much. Maybe you should get a job and try upgrading your puter.
... "Passwords are the weak link in today's networks." -- what he means is that there are too many systems on the internet where we enter in password information. If any one of these systems are compromised, and assuming we are too lazy to use differnt passwords on each site then there is a serious risk that other accounts could be hacked
Unintentional slip? Gates said that information sharing is good. -- he means websites do not share information with one another. Today you see each website acts pretty much as its own little island.
The.net servers will be running Windows 2000, which has apparently set "world-setting benchmarks" for speed and reliability. -- Don't know about this, too lazy to check. It don't make a difference to me, if it ever was an issue than i suppose i would be running a company and could afford a faster machine to make up for the difference
The "core" of.net is XML -- this means that services will truly be platform independent... this is a good thing cuz as you prolly already know...theres a little anti-trust suit going on... duh 0_o
Gates repeatedly alluded to "per-minute charges" for the required broadband access. If this.net thing flies and people actually use it, then MS is set to suck a LOT of money from hapless consumers -- Its what you do when you provide a service, make money. Duh, I guess you linux ppl dont understand that concept.
Apparently, the PC "required" a "universal platform" (line Windows) in order for applications to be created. Please. I suppose that Gates is conveniently forgetting the many problems and incompatibilies which his "common platform" has caused. -- What he means is that it was more efficient for one company to create one dominating platform than have a bunch of companies try to agree on a platform (too much politics, lack of vision(least common denominator rules in this environment))
You sir amongst all your colleagues here in/. *get it* I am amused... someone with a third eye in/. interesting... its about time! Well you probably agree with me then that MS is now going to be stronger than ever.... I suggest to you my good man that you quickly learn COM and XML if you really want to be a part of the future of the internet. Linux ppl are just too close-minded to see what is is that users actually want.
Heheh you all are quick to write off this new language that MS is creating. From a MS developer point of view this is something that we wished for. I don't want to be using ASP when broadband becomes affordable to most households, I want to use a language that is going to be able to interact with me in real time. ActiveX controls as you know are proprietary and Java.. well lets not get into java, no way in hell MS is gonna support Java... so if we don't want to work with Java, then we make our own Java, simple as that.
Now while all you bitch ass niggas go ranting about how c# is gonna be dFlat or whateva, you fail to realize that this language is going to be used in MS's Next Generation Web Services... this is what you should fear fools! Hehe you guys keep blabbin non-stop about how windows is freakin proprietary and buggy, but wtf cares it aint gonna make a difference in a year or two...heheheh don't ya see... windows as an OS is not going to be around.. and not cuz of the justice department...but because its evolving...hahahah you all don't get it do you.. moe-freekin-rons. You all are going to be eating MS dust in a couple of years, if ya thought you were behind now, just wait for another year or two.... mwahahahahahah
Hai hai!! I agree with what you say about moderation in that it "tends to promote established ideologies on the detriment of minority opinion" I am a big Microsoft advocate, and am also a visionary... but people on slashdot are more Linux ppl and of course more left-brained thinkers.. heheh i guess that's why im on the wrong side of the tracks here in slashdot.. I feel so hated!!;_; I got a rating of -1 on my last post.. but the ironic thing the issue that I took up prognosticated the future.. i basically said microsoft's strategy with Judge Jackson was to piss him off enough that he would make some stupid comments and hence illegitimize his ruling or at least have others find it as distastefull as his emotional descision making. I got moderated down to -1 and I was called a Trolll snarf snarf.... but the thing is the next day MS denounced Judge Jackson's descision precisely for those reason stated above..heheh see i really do think like Bill *.*
U evil/.rs who did this to me shall pay...mwa.. mwahaa mhwahhahahahahahaha.. I am Femto goddamit, your all are gonna pay... *POP* ohh heheh sorry I was momentarily possessed by an anime character.. ehem.. Anyway you get my point. Moderation don't work... it keeps genius locked out... >_ -=Griffis=-
I belive Katz is right about that this corporatist mentality is sweeping the net. But, unlike him, I don't worry that this will last forever. In fact I am already creating a company of the future. I call it a "newtype" corporation. These coporations will be less centralized and will be created from the bottom up not the other way around, the way they are today. Corporations of tommorrow will start out as small bands of people on the internet recruiting those whom they deem worthy enough to become part of their group. Once the number of recruits has hit critical mass, the company will find that it has enough members covering all the traditional functions (HR/legal/accounting) of a company to be able to do business on a large scale. These companies will be stronger than their predecessors because they are started from the ground up. This means that they won't be as hard pressed at finding recruits and in the process choosing inept or unmotivated people. Because "newtype" corporations will have more loyal and motivated employees they will be more efficient than the one's we see today. Needless to say, I am starting a company like this already
I have come up with this vision on my own and I don't want people like John Katz putting this up in his next article making it sound like it came from himself!
It's the "newtype" corporations that will replace these traditional companies. Traditional companies will scramble, but they will fall on their big fat asses. heheh then they will break up into little units and "newtype" will acquire them. "Newtype" companies like mine will begin to surface soon kicking out the bullshit old-establishment companies.. not to mention the lame ass dot-coms out of the business space.
Perhaps these "newtype" corporations will have a heightened sense of consciousness as well... like Amuro Rey hee hee
Word. I liken Metallica to the indians before the white man came and wiped them out. These guys are brave to put up a fight against those who they see as taking from their livelihood, but in the end the world will be a better place if they allow the inevitable to happen. I have mad respect for the indians as I do for Metallica, but cuz I know the gun is technologically superior to the tomohawk. I'm gonna have to say sorry guys "you fought a brave fight, but now you die" Now unlike LK, I know that these guys are smart, I wont go around patronizing them as if they were a bunch of idiots. Don't underestimate those with warrior spirit. Metallica if your listening, learn how to use the gun. Sit down, do your research (RTFM) on how you can maintain your future livelihood at present-day levels without having to stop people from freely distributing mp3s. Do it with the same zeal that you used to hunt down those 300,000 some bastards on Napster.
Heh good question.. I think these kind of bands will go with companies that try to appeal to youth, like clothing companies or others who want to portray themselves as hip or cool. For example I could see the Gap having an ad with Metallica singing one of their songs.. with an all white background.. heheh as is typical of their ads. Also it is very likely that many bands will do the solo thing and do short stints with various corporations because a) they don't want to associate with any one corporation b) corporations don't want to be associated with any one particular band. These bands will be reminiscent of the free roaming rounin that wandered post feudal japan.
In response to your proposition 1) Making an album good enough to buy would cost a lot more studio time/creativity time and as you know time translates directly to money. This additional cost will effectively cancel out the additional revenue made from higher sales of the "quality" album. Also about rabid fans paying for their favorite artists out of respect, see how much Paylars.com has made for Metallica.. i think they are up to $163 lol.
As for point 2. You know that I said the same thing, that is to say forget about making money from albums in the future. Instead bands are going to make money from corporate sponsors
Once streaming media becomes commonplace people will set up servers to upload songs for free.. heheh like the radio.. hallo. I don't pay for my radio service... remember they make money from corporate sponsors as well. hehehe.. see music is going to get more corporate and thats the way its gonna be. Look at athletics.. you got Michael Jordan doing hotdog commercials, but he aint complaining, he's just rollin in his cash. In the end its all about the Benjimans babay.
Well except for some of respectable bands like Fugazi... Oi!
I have come up with a solution to this problem. Before anything else, I'd like to say that I base my predictions on the music industry being unable to stymie the flow of copied material on the web resulting in the eventual acceptance by lawmakers, that copying albums is ok and hence not illegal.
What is going to happen is recording studios will eventually learn that their fight is a losing one and will adopt my way, that is to find corporate sponsors to pay for artists that they broker. Smaller artists may be able to go directly to the corporate sponsors, but it will be hard to get to the better paying, more established companies. The mainstream artists will more likely go through music houses turned music broker.
Yes you heard me right, in order to survive the music houses will have to turn into music brokers, who broker their artists like shares in a company.
These corporate sponsors will shell out millions to the most popular and/or talented artists in exchange for the artists marketing their companies in commercials and online/offline ads.
I also believe that concerts will be a bigger source of revenue for these bands as a result of the wider exposure that they will get from the free distribution of mp3s.

Hey rageboy, Saw you speak at the Netrepeur.org event I think i got the message after about halfway through and so I took off. Because I agree with what you have to say I went about applying it, I had subscribed to an account at www.startupnetwork.com where people get together to form internet startups, and I posted a job posting. After all 0 replies that I got to my somewhat off the wall remarks, I decided to take it a step further more for my own amusement and put up some of those "kill the dot" slogans on my page. Well I got my account terminated and they won't give me my money back. I told them it was just humour, they didnt think so. Anyway, I'm pissed, they'll get theirs. When this new generation of hackers goes mainstream and corporate, theres gonna be a can of whupass coming down that sites way and by that I mean legal competition not DOS attacks.

Hey don't get your panties all caught up in a scrunchy! Well, I think you have a point in saying that the idealists on the internet have a strong voice. I guess what your getting at is that though their voices are strong, their numbers are small, and hence theirs is a pipedream. But, I have to say my dear Chumly, that theres a new breed of hackers whom many here graciously call 'script kiddies' that are going to bridge the hacker idealism with the coporate philosophy. Thats because these kids are part of a new generation, that did not grow up preaching about the immoralities of the day. WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE 80'S so you betta watch yO back! Mwhahahahahah --- thats my evil little laugh.. heheh how you like? I digress, so yes the internet will make a move towards the left but not as far left as some would like. And us 'script kiddies' (btw I dont actually partake in script hacks, i just like that word) are going to meet the business world half-way. My advice: read the book, and believe about half of whats in it. -= Griffis =-
One day all of the Lame-ulon's theories and reviews will become the Lame-ega point... that is the point where all lameness converges into one death-star sized hairball. Its at this point where all human beings will become aware that everything the Lame-ulon has ever written is nothing but a bunch of misrepresented ideas, and partially thought out conclusions taken from one of a billion nameless websites whose links the Lamuelon keeps on a post-it note in his front pocket.
I have a suggestion, although an expensive one, but a better one than Stallman's, as what to do about this whole patent issue. I propose that people or companies dissatisfied with the current patent system try to overload the patent office with patents on ridiculous things like a fix for the Y2K bug or for putting a website menubar on right side of your screen as opposed to the left. Hehehe. Everyone, if the Patent Office accepts crappy patents then give it to them!!!
