"I can't come up with anything else in the entire marketing world where marketers knowingly introduce a flawed or inadequate product [and] it helps grow your user base."
Coke was the first to market, I strongly doubt that Coke as it is now was exactly the same as it was when it was first released (Cocaine anyone?).
The first to market is usually the one who wins. It is rare that the market leader falls off their perch (unless they make an error, like "New Coke", which nearly cost them their dominant position).
Therefore, knowing this, the businesses want to get to market fast, ergo, "beta". With the tag of "beta" if anything does not work as expected, the reply is "hey, well it *IS* beta!" In the case of google it seems that they label anything beta until they can figure out how to make money with it.
So, web businesses use beta to gain a market position - if MSN were not beta, it would have been in design for that year that it is still marked beta - and had no market presence at all.
In the case of economics you are correct to some degree. What you are speaking about is known as Market Failure. In cases of Market Failure, such as pollution, you wish to create regulation to the point that your goal is to reduce or control pollution without adversely affecting the free market. In the case of market failure like pollution, you can create incentives to control the pollution by things such as vouchers etc. This way the market comes up with more solutions to the problem. What is required is identifying the goal. If the case is water conservation, you can regulate it, or allow the price to increase.
So, yes, you are correct, it is about balance. The government should only intevene in the case of market failure, and it that case we must make certain our goals for the market, and our environment are well defined.
You would replace the entire engine for a blown $20 head gasket?!
Uh... Sorry, I stopped reading at that point. You're obviously an idiot.
Head gasket blew leaking the contents of the radiator into the oil - engine siezure. I had the truck in the mechanics 1 week before this failure, and supposedly the mechanics had done a full check on the truck, so during this period of a week I had not checked my oil nor my rad levels. After all, one week out of the shop I should not have needed to!
From having visitors come from Belgium, Italy, and France I have found that they are often surprised by "hot tubs" maybe it is culturally different, but I did hear the comment once: "How can you keep this thing filled?"
Given that, I am Canadian, and generally speaking, water is insanely cheap here.
Imagine if Bill and Steve decided to buy up the world's oil/water and throw a big bon fire/dilute all their toxins this weekend. Would we still argue for the free market then?
An interesting question, I would say the event is unlikely as in executing it the people who have the money relinquish it, and also generate considerable anger amongst the populace. Currently, there is nothing to stop Gates or Jobs going to a third world country and buying up all the grain supply, and thus starving the populace! It is similar to the strange people that lined up to get an X Box 360 - and then promptly took it outside the store to smash it in front of the onlookers. Some people do it, but is rare.
So, could such a thing happen? Sure, but at the price of the rich individual sacrificing huge amounts of their wealth to no great purpose, and suffering (at the very least) great social stigmas.
Imagine if you have enough money to water your lawn, when no one else can afford to do so. Well, that's ok because you are affluent... But, now the culture has shifted, and watering anything that does not help to produce food becomes a major negative stigma - the lawn watering will dissapear. After all, you used to run older Norton motorcycles on a mixture of 50% gas and 50% benzine. This is frowned upon now. Sure, you can do it, but benzine is highly carcinogenic, so people don't.
The water companies are subsidised even more, but water is not a commodity like Oil. Not yet anyway.
No, and subsidized or not, if the price rises beyond a certain threshold, people will change their habits. Simple as that. Why do you think people are even CONSIDERING a non water urinal at this point? Can you imagine places where urinals are currently flush operated continuing to pay the water bill, if say, water cost the same as gas? No, they would all switch to non-water urinals.
There is also the Law and Order aspect to think about. If Joe Twelvepack down the road can afford to drive a hummer, the Joe Sixpack just thinks, "Ah well, maybe I need a better job". If Joe Twelvepack can afford to water his lawn while Joe Sixpack can only afford to wash once a week, I think his reaction might be a little stronger.
So? What if his reaction is stronger? Then what? There are people just down the street from me that own 3 BMW's. I dont even own one. And water cost pressures are great enough in certain areas of the United States that people *PAINT* their lawns instead of watering them. Why paint instead of water? Partially cost, and probably partially mandated. One could water illegally I suppose, but I prefer the economic solution.
Fundamentally, you need water to live. Oil is convenient, but you don't need it to survive.
And if the gas supply suddenly dried up from the pumps tomorrow, how would you get to work? How would supply trucks get food to the supermarkets? In a larger city envronment, supposing you don't own a farm and a manual plow and oxen, with the current modern lifestyle, a lack of gas overnight would cause massive starvation. Gasoline is required to literally put food on your table. As gas prices change over time, alternatives will be sought. The same is with water, but you need far less water to survive than you do gasoline. You can get by on a few liters of water a day, you might not like it, but you can. It is unlikely that we will totally run out of water on a planet that is covered with 70% water. It will simply reach a price point where most people simply cannot afford to waste it.
Why should some rich bastard use MY water, just because he is wealthier than I am? Spend it on gold or art, things I can live without, thank you.
Are you suggesting that on a planet covered with 70% water we will suddenly be faced with DUNE like conditions? What is to prevent you from distilling seawater? What is to prevent you from collecting rain, and distilling your own urine? The level of lack of water is unlikely to reach propotions where people begin to die of dehydration, you might just stink more as you take fewer showers. People might accuse you of being French!*
Let the people with the money wear their gold and gems, and take showers daily. Those that can't will create an economy so that they can.
Mandatory Conservation I don't really give a sh*t if you have a six-figure income and can afford a $500/month water bill; the surrounding community that supports you can't sustain it. So mandatory conservation for everyone. That means 1.8 gallon or less toilets, low-flow shower heads, front-loading clothes washers, underground or drip irrigation for gardens. If you're really snazzy, you'll recapture your waste water and re-use it for the garden or the toilets -- or re-purify it yourself and take pressure off the municipal supply.
I am going to disagree with this sentiment on economic principles. Right now the price of gas is higher, and people in my area are switching to more fuel efficent vehicles. The pressure of the price of gas is causing this change. I have never seen so many smart cars and scooters on the roads before.
Those with large amounts of cash will still drive their hummers at high speeds along the roads because they can, and they will waste gas because they have the funds to do this. Conversely, I was partially glad when the head gasket on my Toyota 4Runner blew 6 months ago, and I switched to a Toyota Tercel (I still miss offroading in the 4runner mind you). My gas costs have dropped signifigantly, all because of a change of vehicle. I could have replaced the engine in the 4Runner for about $500, and the Tercel was much more than that, but I wanted better fuel economy, so I got it.
The same thing will happen with water. Sure, the beverly hills types will have their pools and constant running water, economic forces will allow them to do this. The "regular" people will start to conserve water because they must, and technologies that aid in conservation will become more and more common. It will reach a point where everyone except the very rich have these water saving devices because it makes economic sense. This is the case in europe, and it will become the case in North America because it must.
Economic pressures are great because you don't have to mandate any laws, the price of the commodity forces a change in the market. Rising water prices will force water conservation. Rising water prices will inspire businesses to find less expensive ways of converting waste water back into potable, and the same for seawater.
Economic forces will also cause invention and competition in the market - maybe someone will invent a waterless and odourless self cleaning toilet that uses almost no water - and it will become popular because it is less expensive to operate than the old gallon flush toilets. Mandating specific measures of conservation, such as your mentioned 1.8 gallon toilets, prevents economic forces from taking their toll. Economic forces result in greater invention, and greater choice. This is a good thing, and in the long run, it forces water conservation in its own way.
One of the guys I believe has paranoid schitophrenia, and the other just loves conspiracy theories. Strange, but there are people out there like that. I find that most people with a similar bent like the "Art Bell" radio program.
I think most of the people I know (who know of this former MP) feel that this former minister is a little nutty. The only people I know that don't seem to believe that his is off kilter also believe taht the world trade center towers were not attacked by planes, but by elite commando teams from the U.S. government. (Sadly, I am not joking about that... They really believe this...)
I think that we should all sit down and watch Carl Sagan's COSMOS as a viable alternative to this former ministers suggestions.
I own an ATI All-in-Wonder 9800 pro. It is great, when it is working... It is fast, and all the features work well, but updating the drivers and sofware is a nightmare. I really miss the Nvidia unified drivers that I use on work machines.
The problem is that there are 3 files that need to be upgraded with every driver change - and while I understand this, the process is annoying. If a new driver comes out for video, and I install it, but neglect to install the other drivers for the card, the DVD viewing software, and the TV software break.
This, again, is understandable, but the process is annoying. ATI really needs to simplify their driver installation (and hell, having better Linux drivers would be neat too... but that is an aside)
You may want to learn how to code from this book: Win Friends and Influence People. It is like an O'Reilly book on people coding. Why is it important? Well, according to the Millionaire Mind (Thomas J. Stanley), the most important skill amongst millionaires (and sucessful people in general) is social skills.
This is why all those annoying "business types" who can't understand 'teh intarweb' are the ones who earn the higher incomes, and are generally the employers, not the employees.
It sounds like you have great strengths in the coding department - just like Theo de Raadt, but lack the people skills that someone like Linux Torvalds exemplifies. But, that is just my opinion, I could be wrong.
When I was in grade 8 in Montreal (1984) I was required to take "MRE" or, Morals and Religious Education. Each student was given a copy of the new testament (and only the new testament, no old testament included), and we had to learn lessons from it. I remember distinctly being confused as I learned the scientific method in Biology and Chemistry, I thought about it for a week solid, and then felt dumb because it took me a week to understand. And then, when I understood it, and what I was being taught, I was being taught about the bread and the fish in the new gospels - and it was taught literally, and not figuratively.
I puzzled over this for some time, realizing it viloated the conservation of matter I was taught in chem, and decided to err on the side of science, but for years still felt stupid because it took me such a long time to puzzle it out, and come to the conclusion that I did.
You can imagine my surprise 4 years later when I learned about intelligent design while standing in the museum of Man (renamed now) in Ottawa with my religious girlfriend. We were admiring the skeleton of an Allasaurus (sp), and she declared it to be a fake because "dinosaurs never existed".
So, I always felt dumb for taking what I considered quite a while to understand the scientific method (about a week) and then 4 years later to discover that other people believed different things.
I just fired up google earth, I typed in "Sorba, Italy" and after it zoomed in (I view google maps at 1024X768 - full screen)
I looked around Sorba, and after the full image loaded I could see what is very likely it - (Northwest- Up and left of Sorba). You can see it in a farmers field in the "brown" image stands out from the rest of green pictures.
As the saying on leadership goes: "A fish rots from the head down." If the report about the chair is true, then I would suspect that this is where it begins.
It may lead to a prospective customer discovering an unknown band (whose CD they never would've bought or even considered without being able to download risk-free samples), falling in love, buying that band's CD's, T-shirts, and attending their concerts. A nice windfall for the band, AND for the consumer-neither would've known the other existed but for filesharing.
Very good point. I like industrial/dance style music. You can never find this stuff on the radio where I live, and Detroit Industrial Underground is about the only streaming radio station that carries a good selection...
I was searching for some Front 242, and I saw this track called "Front 242 - God is God - Godzilla Remix by Juno Reactor" I downloaded it. I liked it. Then I started finding out about Juno Reactor. I then found a Juno Reactor remix by a group called "Gravity Kills" and I started looking their stuff up. By looking up these remixes I managed to find a number of bands that I previously would not have found - indeed, the only way I could have found some of them prior was to have purchased the ENTIRE collection of CD's by the industrial artists I like - including the CD's that are not for sale, and never have been for sale in my country.
This process has helped me to discover a great selection of industrial bands I had never heard of before. (Given that the RIAA never seems to promote them anyways. Shame that the latest KMFDM album is a RIAA sanctioned album though - yes, I paid for it)
because of the extra twisting there is less crosstalk. The less crosstalk, the more information you can pump down the wire, thus the difference between Cat 3,5 and 6.

Not exactly spirals, but you have the right idea. It is a perihilion advance. The orbit is, well, egg shaped. Trouble is, every time Mercury orbits, the "position" of the egg shape moves a little, so the shape of the "egg" is never correctly traced... Here, A graphic will probably explain it better.
What I want to know is can these drives walk around and sing and dance to a tune very much like the "I'm a bill" - and then, does this drive become a law when it is done?
