of course that hydrogen had to come from somewhere. and it wasnt kitten farts. same with 'electric cars' - it has to come from somewhere.
they are taking the CS approach. stick another 'intermediary layer', until there are so many layers nobody can tell what came from where, when or how it got there or why.

how can you shave points off the backend and do favors for everybody if its all out in the open? Anyone whose seen Barry Primus classic film "Mistress" (Robert Wuhl) will laugh thinking about this.
and most military expos are not about selling protection to democracies.
selling land mines has no legitimate military purpose. we still do it.
selling weapons to dictators has no legitimate diplomatic purpose, other than enabling one to kill a bunch of people from another. in the cold war, you could argue that was meaningful. the cold war is over. what is the argument now?
i thought that ai wei wei and ang sang syu ki were involved in fighting for 'rights', but you have really hit the nail on the head. there are people right now, as we speak, struggling to get their video games working at optimal framerates. it is a fucking tragedy of epic proportions. surely, we must band together and stop this from happening to anyone else.
the people you bought this game from probably dont have health insurance, and you are worried about YOUR rights. here are your rights.
1. if you receive a defective product. return it to the store for your money back.
eventually the 'invisible hand' of capitalism will take care of the problem - bad companies will go bankrupt and good companies with good products will succeed, because consumers like you refuse to buy products that dont work.
is not a serious GPL advocate? because if you scroll back through every story on pirating websites like pirate bay, the issue of music copyright, film copyright, etc, the typical argument is 'we are robbing those evil studios so its ok'.
you appear to live in some fantasy world where there is this thing called 'government regulation of big business'. in case you haven't been paying attention, every politician higher than dog catcher has made a career of doing this over the past 30 years.
"oh my god, and he did not even call me back, and i waited two hours. i dont play that. i dont know what im going to do. i mean, like, if it was his mother or something thats one thing, but to call me like that. and heres the other thing, we went to subway and i asked for bread, and you know, i like the flat bread, because im watching my carbs, and he just went ahead and.."
"yeah. well, you know, thats not what they told me last week, i mean, you can check with them, but last week they said we needed the x stroke form unless it was filed before april 28, now, was it? let me check the date on that. ok see here? april 27. so that means its 24 hours before the cutoff, so that means we need to have the other form, the y form. not the x form. which is what you have there. you see? whoever did this fucked it all up and now we have to fix it. "
"you feel me? i was all up in her grill talking about how she need to step off. this is my house, you dont come into my house and start all that mess. with my boy. i dont care if she is his girlfriend or not, there are rules, and then the are rules. she doesnt even have a job, and she came in here talking all this mess about he owes me this, he owes me that. let me tell you what i told her, i told her..

these are fields dominated by dudes for various reasons that have nothing to do with 'merit' or 'ability'. its a social anachronism that has somehow survived into the 21st century but will disappear within 50 years or so.
IT is one of the most anti-merit, old boy networks there is. Evidence abounds, a good start is looking at the blatant age discrimination.
Another is looking at known instances of government corruption, like the Trailblazer project at NSA. You start looking at the number of military IT contracts, and then look at the gender-stilted nature of the military itself, and you can start to see that the idea that 'merit' is all that matters in IT is not very convincing.
there is this thing called 'thingiverse', and another thing called 'grabcad', and another thing called 'shapeways', they are your death knell.
what you do is not hard. its not difficult. its not even that special. volunteers on the internet can do what you do, and they can do it better, and they can do it for free. the only thing you have is hordes of factory wage slaves who live under a dictatorship. that can do alot, but it can only do so much for your bottom line.
ask yourself. why would someone support a system where they themselves are not included? why would someone want to support a property regime where they themselves are de-facto excluded from owning property? why care about the morality of privacy when you have to work every day under a boss who beats and harasses his workers and have only enough money to eat and live at the end of years of labor?
why?
it is incredibly obvious that the world as it is, organized into the few who have, and the billions who do not, is unsustainable. the earth cannot survive like this. you represent the catholic church at the dawn of the renaissance. you represent the barons at the dawn of democracy. you represent slave owners on the eve of the civil war. you are going to go away and lose everything you have. nobody is going to take it from you. its just that the world is going to change overnight, and you will be left adrift in a strange place you no longer understand, that follows rules you no longer create.
i am only warning you of this for the good of you and your families. find new work before you are unemployed and have to learn what the masses you drive by every day on your way to the office have to deal with in order to survive.
congress did not spend that money because it was 'cool', they spent it because the soviet union sent up a satellite called 'sputnik' that proved the theory they could rain bombs down on us.
before sputnik, there was essentially no space program. zero, nada, zilch. nobody gave a shit except a few dreamers and engineers who were discredit for wanting to waste taxpayers money on pipe dreams - we didnt need space, we needed bombers and nukes to kill the 'commies' in the korean war and elsewhere.
(of course, the soviet chief designer Korolev, was actually a starry eyed dreamer, who managed to fool the generals into building the space missiles... and Kruschev agreed because there was no way they could compete in conventional warfare due to cost... but thats another story)
"Whoah, cowboy! "falsifying documents" is fraud. Fraud is a crime. Making a false accusation a crime in writing is libel. Slashdot's policy is that "all comments are owned by the poster." I do hope you got something to back up the "falsifying" claim. Otherwise, some "bankster" or such just might get annoyed enough to go after you.... cause you know... he might have a case."
There are numerous documented cases of fraud. The robo-signing scandal is just a huge, massive fraud. Read any of the crisis books, they are full of pictures of fraudulent documents being created.
Your bit about 'insurance' is hilarious. The industry itself pushed to make Credit Default Swaps not be considered 'insurance', even though tons of journalists will later describe them as 'insurance' because the only other way to describe them is to call them 'gambling bets'. But they are not regulated like insurance, specifically because the industry pushed the NY state insurance commission to exclude them from such regulations.
Please just stop lying. We are not stupid, and we can read books. just stop lying.
very nice people, who are very well spoken and have very nice suits, and give huge, huge amounts of money to political campaigns.
you dont talk bad about the nice people in the nice suits.
they stole a trillion dollars from the taxpayer. they are stealing more as we speak. but do not say this out loud. your journalism career will be rather short.
