There is actually at least one sales person working at MicroCenter that believes that anyone who uses Linux is a pirate because they didn't pay for it. and those that did pay for it are pirates because those who wrote the code didn't share in the pay. Simply put Linux is for Pirates.
So how about everyone everywhere assume everything is either copyrighted or patented or trademarked and just submit to "them" who ever "them" may be.
Does that work for you joe the dragon? Or are you now going to sue me for using your copyrighted nick.
Seriously, the RiAA and court system has way over stepped punishment of the guilty and everyone knows it.
If only we have the more efficient software of the past running on the hardware of today, it might not feel that the user experience is slowing down.
There is a saying, "if its not broke don't fix it" but teh software industry doesn't follow that. Instead the software industry figures that any more speed and resources is only for teh developers, not the users.
... to have a data disaster happen, one that was not recoverable.
This would be like the biblical tower of babel falling and as a result this would help push us to our next stage of evolution.
It is society, population that pushes us to resolve bigger and bigger social problems.
What we need is a global data disaster effecting everyone, including military.
Such as what a massive solar flare could cause.
Should such a thing happen, then in order to just maintain some level of society, alot of dishonesty and deception will have to be put aside. So much so that we'd be forced to develop better means of communication containing inherent verification.
Tower of babel, but of a different nature and different solution.
... raise money for a business to expand and improve their products & serves. Those who invested would share in the profits of losses.
You invest in companies you believed in. This helped industry grow.
Today that no longer really exist as the stock market has gotten so abstract that you may not even know where your money is invested. For all you know your money could be going to a company developing bad things. But what do you care so long as your money is growing.
What this story really tells is how so totally abstract the market has gotten that it becomes a different game every few minutes.
Perhaps the best thing to do is reset the game.
There are plenty of examples where the abstract levels of the stock market was used to extract lots of money in its transfer of money game. The Trillion dollar bet which is people would just follow teh money they would know what triggered off 9/11 (all the information you need is public accessible - media won't do it as they were threated with anthrax) Then there is Bernie Madoff and more...
Stock Markets are not working for teh reasons they were created and this story only points out the extream of what the original purpose is getting distorted.
You can never find a majic formula, for there is only so much money in the market and to win a bundle means some others have to lose a bundle.
A magic formula would be win win, and that is the way the market was suppose to work. YOu invested in companies they produced better products and services (real tangable wealth). But just mobving money around is not producing anything but trader fees and who has the money. Where are teh products and services in this? Ph wait, its all about financial products and services, forget food, clothing, shelter, medicine, etc...
It was an HP printer and that was about $17 for black and about $21 for color.
What happened?
Bait and switch.
Ink prices went up so much that when Microcenter had the same printer on sale it was cheaper to buy the new printer with its included full HP ink cartridges then it was to buy the ink separately. So I bought the printer, now I have a back up and when the sales person aske me if I wanted a warranty plan for a bit more money.....
But what do I have a back up for? using expensive ink cartridges.
What a waste... I'll probably never use that printer as by the time I need it it'll be yet cheaper to just buy the next new printer at a sale price that has ink included..... front end of bait and switch....
So if you were in on an automated buy at 59.99% lower than any of the stocks that day, you made a lot if you then turned around and sold that same stock as soon as you could (4 days later.)
But that is likely to never happen again. In fact no stock can become worthless in a reasonable amount of time if only 10% down is all that is allowed, regardless of the time period. Its math. a repetitive 10% reduction in value ever five minutes will take how long before a stock worth a dollar at start, becomes worthless?
If you think 50 minutes you are wrong cause 10% of 90 cents is not 10 cents but 9 cents and 10% of 81 cents is 8.1 cents and 10% of even 1 cent is not 1 cent.
Rules are what we ultimately figure out how to abuse and break the intent of.
The stock market was originally intended to allow you to make in investment in a company you believed in and share in the profits or losses for doing so. But today the stock market does not work that way. Instead you probably don't know where you money is and you move it, or someone else does in order to do nothing more than transfer value without creating any product or service wealth.
Honestly, remove the identity of the companies providing stock and what else do you see but such a transfer of value on a high level of abstraction. And the unidentified companies in their view of fluctuating value of their stock have what to rely on as investment?
In other words, above the original intent of the stock market there is a value transfer game going on that produces no new value in product or service.
If you are in the markets deep enough you can see enough to know how to manipulate teh markets and rule set for always winning. And this is probably what happen in this one time deal and done so to help get Greece out of the danger zone. And that is probably also why the shut off limit was set at 60%. If you know the details of the Greece debt information, there is a 60% limit.
Knowing this was most likely what really happened (motivated to do so to save the market - Greece failure effecting the European and world markets??) you'd also know that the markets will continue to drop as the low buy needs to be sold off at a profit and that's a lot to sell off, but obviously not all at once as that would again crash the market....
But then that can't happen now, with the new rule. What the new rule does is allow the automated system to insure a profitable sell off for Greece.
But what side of this are you on? The looser side?
Like I said, the strongest tool man has is "denial".
There is no "not working" except for human brains not working in acceptance of reality happening here.
So long as the reality of the non-patentability of software is being denied, all there is is illusion being promoted.
And this is why software patents are acts of fraud and public deception. Such denial goes against reality and as such it is predictable what problems will surface as a result and manifestation of this denial. And these very problems are in fact surfacing.
So there is no surprise problems, just the observation of denial and by both patent supporting and anti-patent supporting sides of this illusional othello/reversi game. The double edge sword of reality, cuts both ways. One way it cuts off software patents, the other way it recognizes a natural way of software development methodology that allows software development to be so simple and powerful that anyone can produce it. Hence, being genuinely free, like how using a calculator to produce a result is free. And with this, it cuts open source software development a bit too. However what does come about is genuine software engineering where some knowledge/data bases are engineered while much more might be produced in teh fashion of the likes of wikipedia, community produced programming data/knowledge bases. Copyright is the proper IP media here, not patents.
The Hindu Arabic decimal system took 300 years to overcome the Roman Numeral system of mathematics, but it did overcome it and good thing, as we wouldn't have much of what we have today, including computers, had it not been overcome.
The same matter of overcoming applies to overcoming the illusion of software being of patentable matter.
Your rationality is in error. All you need to protect against patent trolls is to establish copyright date time.
Prior art. Thats what I did, and even managed to get the patent office to publish it. see references on the link I gave. And understand what it is I did. One knife, uh err double edge sword, to end all software patent fighting.
This is how I know the most powerful tool man has is denial. But denial doesn't change what is, only trys to ignore it. But denial won't last. Sooner or later both sides will give in and accept what is of that which is universally not patentable. Physical Phenomenon, Abstract ideas, Natural Law of which mathematical equations (which many want to argue against software patents with) are only a subset of these.
Or perhaps we can create another IP concept called "mine" and this would mean we need to "demine" for protection against "mine"?
See the foolishness of playing that game?
If you play someone elses game but not understand that game doesn't fit your playing piece , you will lose, no matter what you do.
As Wikipedia is a "Hear-Say" Site, any porn must have been posted or found elsewhere and under a compatible license. Otherwise those posting are violating Wikipedia rules.
Don't nobody claim its not a hear-say site, because by its own rules that is exactly what it is.
With this in mind, Wikipedia may be guilty, and even guilty of biased and unfair articles, but they are not the originating source. In fact there is a trace as to who or what IP posted such.
What this means is that if Wikipedia is busted and charged with crime then it means anyone who wants to do you harm all they habe to do is get "illegal conmtent" on your personal system and then call the authorities.
Being setup and entrapped is dangerous game, where the authorities acting on such enough or in a big way (as can happen here) can really undermine such authority in the public's eyes.
If we let the Gulf fill with oil, The petro industry can't tell us there is a shortage again.
Since we can't seem to really do anything about it, lets all make up nasty oil industry jokes and shame the whole industry into... the Gulf of Mexico.
As much money that goes through the oil industry, you'd think they would have installed a shut off valve. Of wait, they don't want to shut it off so why would they have installed a valve? (don't no body say they did, for it they really did, it'd been shut off by now) Instead they try to funnel it...
Maybe if they actually focused on shutting it, they might just figure it out.
And since they don't really want to shut of off, it must not be so serious.
Who owns the oil in the water? Does BP hold all claims to it?
All this really means is that some of the fishing industry in the gulf will change to oil gathering. And isn't it a good thing that the refineries are so close by? They might call it Gulf Oil. Oh wait that name is already taken.
What is most amazing about this is that an oil rig caused it with a drilled hole. Hasn't nature ever done such a thing as leak oil in the ocean?
I always wondered what was oil holding up that when we take it out of the ground...
In comparison to other man made disasters, like deforestation, where does it really rank?
