That's not how it works. Economics on slashdot is so painful to read. It's important so people should understand it* and I want them to. OTOH I read posts like you and I lose all hope that anyone here** is capable of grasping the most simple principles.
*or at least STFU if they don't actually understand economics.
they have gone from 1200 to 150. I have no idea where you are getting 800. Since the date on you post is 15 minutes ago, I think that instead of looking it up, you just pulled a wishful number out of your ass.
It's the best system to do that to date. If you have a better one that is better at it, then by all mean propose it. Don't propose systems that have already been proven to be worse then the current system.
Moeny is a great idea. It makes things a lot easier,a d it aids in progress significantly. No question at all. Now, the rule and regulation to prevent a whole variety of abuses form people who will do anything to get MORE money is an issue. Frankly, we should cap how much 1 person can be worth at about 500 million dollars.
Except people have one these exact types of cases many times.
in fact, if I ran Banxcorp I would seriously consider getting new lawyers for even trying to sue over this type of thing. Well, no. I guess if I was BanxCorp, I wouldn't have told my lawyers to sue over it. Great now I wonder if the lawyer took their own initiative or if there was a meeting where the CEO/Board insisted the lawyers sue. hmm.. I guess if I was a share holder I would want to know what happened and through the responsible party out.
We(society) has 2 choices Make a plan where peope are fed and housed and free to think and build and create art. Or create a system where a tiny % make all the money and everyone else lives in squaler.
People will need ot get past their socialism = evil BS, and they will need to get a grip and deal with the fact that some people may do very little. It means the money will no longer be used as the ultimate was to judge value. It changeds everything.
Some idea for the transition I have are: Every person can own 1 robot, that person can work, or the robot can work. Crporation can not own robot, but they can lease them from people. Corporation can make robots, but can not use the robots they make for work.
Alternatively to/in conjunction with: The government starts create who automated chains, and distribute the items at cost. So food is planted with an automated system, taken care of with an automated system, harvest, put on truck, transport all via an automated system. Then create a min. income for everyone. Yes some people will choose to live an bare min. They also start using them for infrastructure repair and creation.
Basically using them to drive down costs, so a dollar gets you more. The goal would be to make robots that create everything we need so we can create, or be lazy or build whatever we want during are very short lives.
Yes, I'm sure it's too long for a generation that can't stop to think while it reads. Here, maybe this is more suitable to your 'intellect':http://goo.gl/LDHf
IT's ok, most Christians have no clue about that part of the Bible either, nor do the know what antichrist means, and they think the the devil tempts men and walks among us even though the bible says otherwise.
It's surprising how little believer know about their own theology. I suspect this is intention because of they actually read the entire bible, they would stop believing. So reciting the same set of verse over and over again and ignoring the rest keeps the cash flowing.
"Properly done, theology is a science " are you stupid? That's not science, that's not how science work.
Science is a method for teasing out how thing in the world work. Every time science has been pointed at religion, religion does not stand up.
“What do you think science is? There's nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. Which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?” Steven Novella
""religion = irrational" nonsense I see so often." irrational : not in accordance with reason; utterly illogical: irrational arguments. Believing in something that has no evidence is irrational behavior.
" but I've heard plenty of the same from anti-religion people as well." Which doesn't mean your point of view of god is correct.
That's not how it works. Sorry. You seem to have an assertions the God Exists. Show the evidence. You do know that you can't prove a negative? It's on YOU to prove it.
The logical default position is there is no God. Now, if you have actual evidences, I would be interested in reading it.
Sadly yes, People in America are free to believe and shove their belief down other peoples throat without evidence,counter to evidence, and without actual information. which would be fine except they use the ignorance and stupidity to force policy on others. Hence, taking away from people with actual facts and science.
"The Government", carriers and the manufacture can shut them down right now. They don't because that would be terrible for a number of reasons. And why shouldn't people who have not been paying there bill have their service turned off*?
The media companies is a strawman or fear mongering, I can't tell which.
oh, speaking of strawman arguments: ", is the problem with those who keep repeating that we should just trust the government" really? "And this, ultimately, is the problem with those who keep repeating that we should just trust Bruce Schneier. It implies we should also disengage our brains."
OMG. It's full of factual and scientific lies. That is a fact, not a claim. It has been scientifically debunked. I'm sorry it goes against your negative, and I pity you for not being able to change your narrative when the facts and science shows your narrative to be inaccurate.
Pointing out the long list of lies in Gasland in no way express a view of fracking. It's simply showing the Gasland is full of lies. No more, no less. If you think fracking is harmful, then you should be outraged that someone made a factually incorrect film about it because it detracts from what should be a scientific argument.
"but then tell me why some gas companies are trucking water to ppls homes because reverse osmosis filtering won't take the toxic horrors out of the water."
I can't very well dig into the facts of that claim without a citation now, can I?
Actually, any of the rights can be removed. The constitution is designed to change.
" Forget about tenets of civilization such as not doing to people that which you wouldn't want done to you. " Hardly a tenet of civilization. In fact, the vast majority of civilized history was built on the backs of others. Up to and including today,.

Ok, I spend 7 hours working on some code. It requires 1000 hours of code. hmm, might take a bit don't you think?
You seem to want to be able to get whatever you need based on 7 hours a week.

It's you. Since all the facts are well known.
If you understand software engineers and standard design principle, do you really need that great of knowledge of the language?
Ha, nice.
gotos are always bad.
goto fail;
goto fail;
This is just the emacs/vi argument dressed up.
The answer is: No.
That was done. It was in a series of book know as 'the robot series' by Isaac Asimov
You should read them. Or not.
I ahve been thinking about that for 30+ years.

Based on what I have seen in labs? it would say 25 years off, at most. In software. Maybe not in a humanoid shaped robot.

Hilarious, and yes, yes he would laugh.
Was it Blu-Ray and how did it look? The Blu Ray version I have seems to be a pretty shitty mastering. much to my disappointment.
