    No because making and selling fords and chevys is legal. Making and selling drugs is illegal and the area it is most profitable to do it in is an area you'd both want to protect if it's yours or acquire if it's someone elses.

    Thank you, where do I find the groups that understand global warming exists but are pushing actual technical solutions rather than moronic and unsustainable cut back and use less messages? Until this grassroots movement starts I'll have to advocate for the deniers. Without real push for nuclear and new hydro electric dams I wont take it serious.

    The point you're missing is we hit your state of being over 100 years ago. Filling the worlds needs is not that difficult. Filling in the gaps by filling the worlds wants is what consumerism is. It's the totalitarian regimes that keep the needs unfulfilled in locations where they are unfulfilled.

    That's why you never depend on a single item. At least two of: something you have, something you are, something you know. this is sort of a bluring of something you have and something you are, but this combined with a PIN/Passphrase would make authentication quit secure.

    Using biological energy to make a device work, wasn't there a movie based on this?

    But you didn't realize that your, "being clever and reusing code" was not the big deal. It was the data you entered that was getting you the lessons the teachers were attempting to push. Hell the code would be the easy part for a kid with the smallest iota of basic programing desire.

  8. And yet this post is specifically about the Democrats buddies and where they like to set their corruption.

    Ultimately, your goal is to get paid. If you don't do what the customer wants, you have failed to achieve your goal.

    You have to fight within the rules you're given in order to work towards the rule set you'd like to enact. Unless you are suggesting armed revolt. Is that not obvious?

    Actually things have value only so much as YOU value them. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Water is nearly free to most people, but if you're alone trapped in the desert it may be the most valuable thing you own.

    You're other points are also invalid, but this one:
