I don't care.. I'm just telling you that the issue is entirely political. Sort it out your own selves. Just stop with the crying about shortages.. We can drop a pallet of goods anywhere on the planet within 24 hours... The only bottleneck is human bureaucracy.. It's like running your server with punch cards and 8k of memory
Yes! It's right there in the summary.. We need a new economic model... Resources are more than abundant.. Mismanagement and desire for control is the problem..
And it will never be addressed, because it simply doesn't matter. The law only applies to people who can't defend themselves, never to the people who prey upon them. John doe warrants and other 'unconstitutional' regulations are already being used in other ares like 'terrorism' and drugs.. The industry will ultimately get its way here, and the SWAT teams will be knocking your door down soon enough
...apple would be happy to have both ends of the spectrum: the content producers and the content consumers.
Yes, but there is also a very deeply vested interest in keeping the costs of production very high to reduce competition in the market. Follow the age old story of what kiled DAT and the minidisk in the consumer market with their DRM which, for an exorbitant price, the pros could buy without that 'feature', and scale it up even more.. The idea is to kill off the 'independents'.. they are a threat to the business model., and the propaganda machine
It doesn't matter what standard they float. It will be dumped in less than five years anyway for the next big gimmick.. I remember a time when real standards would last 50 years or more. You know.. like film, phones, roads, electricity, NTSC, PAL, ohm's law, arithmetic, spelling of words, money...
BAH! Who needs bitcoin when the regular banks got your back?
The entire market in contraband is too big to punish without trashing the economy even more... They don't want to stop drugs, they want to control them... It's the controlled substances act
What difference would it make? You think the banks or the pentagon is going to let her do anything? Please, the only thing you'll notice will be a bump in the ratings for Comedy Central... I would think by now that people realize it doesn't matter which mannequin you elect to place in front of the camera... Appears not to be the case
You seem to have difficulty discerning a disagreement, or in this case, a correction, from anger. There is no anger on my part whatsoever, only resignation to the facts. This current cycle is no different from any other cycle. It is merely another cycle. And in fact, it's not even a cycle, because throughout the entire written history of mankind nothing has has changed in any significant manner. It only looks different because things move faster, but it's all still in the same circle.
Another thing is that it is pointless to single out the US. All authority is corrupt, by its very nature. Here again, history bears this out.
There is nothing new about this man's case in the grand scheme. All we have is the same old crap, but in much greater detail. Personally I'm much more interested in the root causes, and the type of conditioning it will take to overcome it. Focusing on petty politics will do nothing about the underlying psychosis that needs to be brought to light.
Contrary to what the mods might think, you're not really entirely off topic there, but you could've shortened it up a bit.. or use a completely different quote:
"I had another idea. I think we should have some plays. You know, usually in football you have some organized plays." "I took the liberty." "Oh, you have... " "I drew up about seven or eight plays. I figure that's about all this bunch can handle." "Oh, these are good. These are very good. Uh, what are these little arrows here?"
...the government has become so messed up over the past decade.
The past decade?? Try the past 23 decades and change... The government has been 'messed up' since, like, forever. The events of ten years ago only provided the necessary pretext to accelerate the process while keeping the 'hearts and minds' of the zombie public captive.. Read a little more closely the policies of, say, Adams, Lincoln, Wilson, or FDR, if you wish to see just how messed up it can get.. The only noticeable difference now is that they can rob the bank on broad daylight in front of the cameras, and nobody will even flinch..
Is your life really so meaningless that your highest achievement today...
Little did you know that it was actually Henry Kissinger who posted that, so in theory, that could very well be his highest achievement today.. Tomorrow, he will bash Microsoft to get his karma back...

I do it, specifically to piss you off... Thanks, for the money shot :-)
...population growth rate...
That would be Vegas...
Eh, you're just bein' silly. But if there ever were a game with moving goal posts, this certainly would be the epitome.
What's a meta for?
Or at least a glorious new tractor factory...
"Finance is a gun. Politics, is knowing when to pull the trigger."
...the only resource we consume irreversibly is power.
The only resource we consume irreversibly is time. The rest is infinite...
I prefer to measure the price in terms of human effort (time spent), everything else is constant and always will be.
Might be the service provider doing that. And Kazakhstan's ISPs can do the same thing if they want.
Oh, in that case, I was agreeing with the answer...
*whew!*

But of course.. It would be rude of me not to share..
Yes, it would.. you could put it in the cargo hold and have dinner with the captain

No pictures!

Well, the real bastards are all four of those things (you forgot crazy), and they're in charge no matter what, so they would be correct..

You know the old saying about glass houses, right?
Something along the lines of, 'don't let the cops see you get stoned'?
