I agree, the present legacy S&D biz-model promotes trickle-down economics for intransigent Luddite-management that avoids innovation, risk....
I think, this could be another element (like OSS, Open standards...) used to structure a more enfranchising techno-equal global economic architecture that will gradually displace by (success or failure) meritocracy the present oligarchical feudal-serf corporate-economics/governance.
Eventually all personal net/technology devices will be bio/nano connected to individuals, hopefully the individual will be better able to control personal information for protection and vet-verified elections, but (I suspect) the CSA big-bubba plutocrats will do their best to keep control of their serfs globally. The US, EU, Russia, China, Japan... CSA plutocrats may even start a world war to make sure serf control is maintained.
!HAVEFUN! "Reality, Freedom, Democracy... (even god) are self-induced hallucinations."
We humans hallucinate a personal pseudo-reality, but Freedom, Democracy... (even god) are megalomaniac plutocrats' tools to manipulate the hallucinations of many folks into suicidal and murderous sociopaths. All glory is fleeting, all reality is myth, except most sexual fantasy does appear to be possible, indicate a plausible reality, and frequently opportunistic mistakes or failures. IOW: if you think something is real; Well then, sexually test the thing or you will never find and satisfaction. Also, if you are not of the CSA plutocrats, then forget about health, education, and happiness.
Thanks to all you folks at Wikipedia, maybe this will help US, EU... understand and learn some about reality.
I remember reading encyclopedias and listening to news in the 1950/60s. By the mid 70s, I knew there was little truth in any history, but many extensive facts spun to cultural propaganda.
Among many cultural groups globally names like Hitler, Stalin, Mao... Caesar, Huang, Alexander... Ramesses, Saladin, Urban, Gupta, Columbus, Cortez, Falwell, Farrakhan... Nixon, Reagan, Kohmani, Sharon, Kennedy, Bush2, McClellan, MacArthur, Montgomery, Custer, Napoleon... (so many more) are held in great reverence and honored as great leaders of humanity.
I hope one day we will have a history based on what was provided to humanity, not what was gloriously lost for greed, creed, lies, and spin-legacy. Caesar, Bush2, Napoleon, Hitler... had far more in common with each other, then anything in common with Gandhi, Theresa, Joan, Carter..., but history books literally cover the bad with many good lies and justifications, and then for further future evil relegate or omit the good to almost anonymity. The greatness of Rome, Greece, Egypt, China, US, EU... is not due to the imperial destroyers of human life and civilization... The greatness of all cultures, nations, art, science, learning... is due to Citizens creating and developing (not ruling). [Don't reply in support of megalomaniacs or dogmatist, because it will simply express your intelligence and nothing of value to humanity]
Please, understand (I do not say) wars or warriors are bad. Warriors fight for family, friends, and ideals. Warriors are never the pitiable and fearful foolish followers of pseudo-patriotism flag waving, religious dogma, or the mental and emotional cripples looking for gold, glory, and/or gore.
War can be forced upon Warriors, Warriors are human and make mistakes, but Warriors cannot be forced to fight on any battlefield. Warriors prevent the subjugation/slavery of family, friends, and ideals. Wars are human events caused by an insane few to injure the many. Economic class-warfare is cultural war and does cause death and instability of human lives and societies.
China will get to the moon before we return, BFD... done did... so what.
The Q&A should be on who will be staying in space and on the moon... I hope it is humanity... not just US, EU, Russia, China... Corporatist/Militarist.
December 1998: This is one of many facts about US/EU corporatist/goverment selling/transfering nuclear, rocket, and other technologies to China, Israel (lost Tybee Island nuke... time-lines).... Anyway about 1998: A secret Pentagon report concludes that Hughes Space and Communications, without proper authorization, gave China vital technological assistance crucial to the successful launchings of Chinese ballistic missiles and satellites. The report concluded that Hughes provided a "defense service" to China that violated U.S. rules against helping Beijing make better rockets and missiles. http://www.wisconsinproject.org/
In the NY TIMES of April 4, 1998, Jeff Gerth with Raymond Bonner exposed a manipulation wherein the US government and 2 major American arms companies transferred Ballistic Missile technology to China. As a Grand Jury was investigating whether 2 American companies (Loral Space & Communications and Hughes Electronics) gave China space expertise that significantly advanced Beijing's ballistic missile program, President Clinton approved of this transfer 2 months ago. Clinton undercut a Grand Jury investigation in order to protect what? or whom? Gerth also exposed the huge $2.5 million contribution made by Loral and Hughes to the Democratic Party since 1991. http://www.jonathanpollard.org/1998/040798b.htm
Folks; the above is about the prior Whitehouse residents and USA Corporatist. What is going on these days and for the start of this new millennium is way beyond anything in the last.... Oh, everyone is still looking for the lost Tybee Island nuke... like it is really still missing in 20 foot deep water and river delta muck.
Anyway, I am damn happy Israel has nukes to protect US/EU... the Brits helped some on the project.
"I find it a little shocking that Congress would participate in the covering up of what has been going on."
A strong central government can keep the public morally-emaciated and demurely-obedient to spin-history which supports fraud-dogma/myth.
The Corporatist States of America (CSA) must protect and defend the corporate-soul against all enemies foreign and domestic. Net-Nepotism, Corporate farm subsidies, "Let them eat cake" economics, affordable sovereign-immunity justice....
!HAVEFUN! I am so very god-damn glad, I ain't got kids for future CSA exploitation, and I'll hopefully be dead before the enslavement/holocaust of the children today.
FBI management (I think) is now on Rev5 in 7 years or less, FBI management as good as most (thank god not all) management in most governments.
National Whitehouse to local doghouse DemRep... management can spend money and make stupid and irresponsible decisions. Elected or appointed the bosses are vindictive losers and petty fools. The pack-mules and worker-bees in the field and cubical are the sources of all performance and success from which the show-dogs take credit.
I remember reading about many different big multi$M contracts over many decades that suffered extremely expensive questionable success, and senior management types were awarded financially for amazing spin-facts and plausible-truths, then were promoted for being management successes.
We ain't got a meritocracy in the USA, and plutocrat spin-democracy supports corporatist-welfare, while ignoring public welfare, and generating a failing economy and destroying national security.
I am old enough, I don't worry about it much, I'll be dead by a decade before the implosion of the Corporate States of America (CSA) where there will be complete national public equality as serfs for the CSA.
I agree, ID-theft is big USA business. ID as personal property ended decades ago. Long ago all names and Social Security Numbers (SSN) were in the wild of the W3. When credit/finance, retail stores, banks... many businesses (& Government) are held financially responsible for allowing the ID... personal data/content (loans, medical, purchases...) theft, then maybe the corporatist-welfare laws will change. Most places still demand your SSN for ID. Few care where you lived for the last ##years. Many ways to stop most to all ID theft, but then big USA business would lose many (end of year) tax-deductions. Also, the whole nascent ID-Theft-protection (mafia-like) business sector would collapse.
I say folks should sue the companies that harass them about an ID theft problem, because the problem is with the business and government that provided your ID, credit... to fraudulent criminals to obtain/steal the property and services. Why should any law abiding good citizens be aggravated (half to death) for a problem not created by them and/or a crime in which they had no knowledge/involvement.
I guess; in the Corporate States of America (CSA), you can buy a politician or you can buy protection, but you can not afford both "OR" you do not need to pay for protection. GOD BLESS THE CSA!
Has anyone heard (rumor, I hope) that the state of Washington may be changing the state name to Boeing or Gateston. I have heard the Boeing and M$ are bidding against each other, and trying to pack the state legislature for renaming the state to be more meaningfully to US business. Don't worry, I don't think, Zip/Area codes will change.
Boeing (local folks would call it Boring) or Gateston (local folks would call it Fakeston)
"This is/.," more folks then you can imagine have actually negotiated contracts B~I
To make a profitable technology deal... you know technology. Management and marketing fuck-up the best and screw-up the rest. I am an old Technology/Telecommunications Information Advisor, that always says TIA for my payday when management and marketing desk-jockey (CIO/CTO) and kennel-pups (BSch-Graduates) are on the other side of the table.
Give me a Sci/Math/Eng/CS/Tech... BSci person with 3+yr [explicit] R&D (by the book) and 7+yr [implicit] field projects (hands on experience) then send'em to a few select business (Law, Accounting...) classes. After two or three years contracts are perfect money makers providing exceptional products and services quality (HAPPY CUSTOMER, Repeat Biz).
Also, all my enemy are dead or farmers now, a plow is reasonable and takes great fortitude, show some respect to farmers and your mother they will always fed you.
The issue is not paper, encryption..., The issue is DEMOCRACY or DE-MOCKERY.
Democratic elections must be far beyond suspect, and citizens must be confident.
If either cannot be reasonably and believably assured to the public, then eroding confidence in the government will eventually be the very least of the public and politicians/plutocrats' concerns.
Our Democracy depends on honest elections. If there is election/campaign corruption, then it is treason; So, we need the death penalty for traitors.
But always we need confident and fearless citizens in our democracy and honest elections. Give every citizen a vote paper-receipt, an encryption solution, a physical and electronic count... whatever is required to return elections confidence to our citizens.
Also, a mandatory Federal elections holiday every other year would greatly improve my confidence in our democracy. Lets drop Christmas, NewYear, or Columbus day an make an election holiday for all US.
GPL: Carter, good for Humanity. Philanthropy: Expression of altruistic concern for human welfare and advancement, usually manifested by donations of money, property, or work to needy persons, by endowment of institutions of learning and hospitals, and by generosity to other socially/publicly useful purposes. Allows more low-TEK cultures, countries, communities to participate in theirs and global economic development. Focused protected IPR/GPL investment with many paths developing for returns on value. [help most/all]
BSD: Reagan, good for Business. Capitalism: An economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of IPR wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations. Allows some low-TEK cultures, countries, communities to marginally participate in theirs and global economic development within legal strictures of controlled and limited access private (IPR) property. [help some/many]
M$S: GWBush, good for Nepotism. Nepotism: Favoritism, granted to a select few people of ignoble virtue, providing petite-tyrants a social system/institution for exploiting public segments of the society/culture and supporting a tyrant economy. Monopolistic nepotism policy is for uniting/securing separate segments/sectors of an economy for certain corporatist-welfare purposes for single corporate state expansionism. Nepotism promotes extending the rule or authority of very few plutocrats over an entire serf-population. Allows corporations to exploit and control low-TEK cultures, countries, communities participation in global economics. Development is controlled and limited to private access (IPR) property. [help none/few].
GPL generates far greater global economic competition and dynamics, which provide greater ROI too developing and industrial nations, and has no adverse impact on global economics and human performance/success.
BSD is good for US, EU, others corporations and individual sharing and controlling property, but the ROI is very limited, and benefits the capitalist developed nations far more than global economics and humanity.
M$S (current IPR/copyrights) provides slim global ROI, mediocre private ROI, eliminates competition and/or suppresses innovation. The global economic value to humanity is very limited, almost worthless on a stagnate global scale economy.
Don't clump BSD products with any M$S/proprietary corporatist-welfare state.
Smart/AI PKI processes could keep ahead of any clock. Assured authentication eKeys are for initiating a transaction or session when communication/transfer is active a preset-set of eKey interleaving could secure the session. The users always remain the security weak-point. Content/data sharing between eKey synchronous repositories with time-lock-worms in a way that would require any spoof/cracker... know the specific clock cycle used to decrypt, could help some.
Consistency in architecture for networks, hardware, software, eKey/algorithms/processes is no longer a security strategy. When anyone can crack-in with time, then time is one half the eKey, so always/frequently change clock.
Secure content/data according to transient-importance, permanent-significance....
There will always ways in, ways to slow the cracker down, but no way to prevent anything for sure. Social engineering can even get you past very good air-gap security systems.
Locals, FBI, CIA... field personnel (the pack-Mules & worker-Bees) provided content of interest well prior of 911 attack+disaster, but management (the source of all/most government employee urban-legends) failed to be functionally capable leaders and proved themselves to be ineffective managers.
The front line folks doing the job are not politicians or career managers, and they don't get promoted for doing a great job. I remember on fed-manager saying "We can't promote her, we need someone that can do the job.", Lucky for US she got a promotion and another job with a different government organization. Fed-management is only about 33% capable, but the Mules&Bees (M&B) are far more professional and patriotic getting the job done.
Less Career-Managers (CM), PowerPoint-Scientist/Engineers (PP-SE) [acronyms, sound right] and far more pack-Mules & worker-Bees will always improve government performance. However, the solution for the past decades has bees more CM PP-SE and contractors (Halliburton, Blackwater... many) and far less government pack-Mules & worker-Bees to keep US safe and informed.
Could this difference be indicative of a human species difference (or more SciFic Physics/Reality)?
HomoSapien-Neanderthal (HSN): I never knew a HSN and cannot provide comment except to say that extinction implies something very obvious.
HomoSapien-Sapient (HSS): Limitless hindsight learning capability with strong conformist functionality. HSS is best at good social survival skills, and focusing on prevailing mythology spin/revisionist justification/validation (I am rich... I am better, I am christian... my god is good...). Central HSS personality characteristic is adelophobic (an irrational fear of the unknown). HSS requires exclusive mythology/dogma self-perception and self-centric reality/world definition for marginally sane (truth+lies) functionality, and there cannot be doubt/question. Favoring traditional views and values fixated with preventing change that would potentially introduce possibly uncontrollable unknowns. This may apply to many politicians today, but I would not consider a "Conservative" as HSS unless they are dogma fixated for mental and emotional stability, which is proof of their psychological disability. [Binary: 1-0, on-off, yes-no...]
HomoSapien-Prescient(HSP): Limited foresight and insight learning capability with strong iconoclast functionality. HSP is curious, and best at provoking questions/proposals for change/reform, open/tolerant to change/progress, and focusing on replicating and predicting real provable results (I is or I ain't... It can or It cain't). Only real (no myth) repeatable results dispel dogma, dread, doubt and have value to life, purpose, and survival. Favoring traditional views and values (art, philosophy, myth/religion...) by respecting and preserving culturally significant icons/objects for meaningful social functions and posterity inheritances. All unknowns are personal and community adventures for HSP endeavors seeking improvement. This may apply to far to few politicians today, but I would not consider a "Liberal" as HSP unless their mental and emotional stability are fixated on discovering the unknown, which is proof of their psychological ability to use change (the real fact of life) as a tool for enhancing the complete human-family/species condition. [Imaginary: -1sqrt-isqr, APES-Virtual, no-maybe-yes...]
IPR (patent/copyright) presently benefits big corporations and exploits big talents/creativity.
IPR law should only allow 12 to 36 month licensing rights, no possible purchases/forfeiture of IPR from the original artist/inventor/... and/or R&D company.
The original owner/creator should have full legal protection and property rights to the intellectual property for life plus a couple years, for corporations (maybe larger then a small business) 50 year IPR ownership maximum. I mean Beethoven/Goya... descendants no longer have any IPR... when does IPR reasonably end?
Public IPR (like GPL OSS, donations, IPR expiration...) should be strictly protected from any further spin-claim privatization attempts.
A real capitalist economy could easily adjust to source-IPR time-limit licenses, and there would be no need for any source-IPR tax/fee/penalty. Simply tax/fee the sale of licenses. No source-IPR license sales, then no cost to retain IPR for life.
Capitalism is an economic model. Capitalism is market governed. Dogma is irrational emotional doctrine of cult/sect followers.
So, capitalism cannot be dogma, but dogmatist can preach pseudo-capitalism as capitalism to faithful followers. Capitalism as an economic institution (model/architecture implemented) in a society/country is neither good or bad. Capitalism when market governed is a reasonable industrial age economics model (best, ?IDK?). Capitalism does not exist in a corporatist/plutocrat controlled totalitarian market. Dogmatist pseudo-capitalism has more in common with a serf/barter feudal/cast economic model.
Anyway, if the oppressed/ruled suffer, do the rulers/plutocrats feel hurt/pain? Yes, then there may be some democratic government and capitalist/meritocracy economy with free citizens and open culture. No, then the minimum required (democracy, meritocracy, and freedom) for a free society does not exist.
Manipulated/controlled politics, economics, religion, citizens... indicates a collectivism, communism, socialism... economics model. This is the main reason, I define the USA as a corporatist-welfare state. Freedom in the USA is a delusion/illusion for citizens trusting in the benevolence, honor, character, and ethics of their ruling plutocrat who are always hoping the public will never see/seek the truth.
Having said the above... three points remain: (1) I think the above is true, (2) the USA is the best place to live & die, and (3) US Citizens may one day make the USA and world better by exercising the force, strengths, and freedoms expressed in "The USA Constitution", reason, and learning.
Fraud is never capitalism. Fraud is a crime that frequently will not be investigated/prosecuted in the USA. USA capitalism ended shortly after the civil war. The USA economy for the last 50 to 100 years has been a government mandated corporatist-zombie. The accumulation of profits are very personal focused, reinvestment of profits decrease for more accounting/stock-scams (not development/expansion), and gains are protected by government protected closed corporate market shenanigans. The new law will provide walk through room for different/more fraud.
Definition of Fraud: A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain. A piece of trickery; a trick.
Definition of Capitalism: An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
IOW: Yes, USA Biz-Management schools and the graduates are scam/crime factories with fool/criminal professors spewing and spinning plutocrat-dogma as CAPITALISM.
Your comments are a prevailing accepted truth about capitalist economics in the USA. Your comments help to prove pseudo-capitalism, lies, and crime are the defining functional factors of current USA economics.
Corporatist owned politicians are directed a/o puppet actors not leaders in the USA. The Iraq conflict profiteering, faux-patriotism rhetoric, and myth-faith preaching are used as marketeer hype for more legalized criminal activity digging another recession/depression pit for the general public with less than a $7-figure enfranchising annual income.
Allegorically, the public has become the metaphorical trash left behind by proverbial assholes who keep their hands clean by using brown-nose, fart-sucking, shit-eating politicians (most not all).
Anyway don't define reality by word-spin to support dogma. Dogma is always a bullshit refuge for genocidal megalomaniacs and fools. THINK or suffer the consequences, never use dogma to blame others.
Troll and flame points have a hidden complementary value for me. I suspect, someone provided you a complement point, and now they can not use the point as insightful, informative... which means the "troll point" has double/bonus value. It was not used to under-rate another/. person, and it was not used to over-rate any dumb M$ comments. May all the gods bless you and your comment.
Today I was talking with someone about dBase (Ratliff), CP/M (KilDall, and Ashton Tate, because a person thought dBase was created by IBM. I suspect, many folks today (like the politicians) believe M$ created the first word-processor and spreadsheet.
Well you got another irrational troll-point... you are never alone.
FCC leads DoJ in managing competition for economic benefits in a far stronger and extremely manipulated marketplace for US select plutocrats. There is no broadband competition in the USA, the FCC protects corporate/political interest, the DoJ, USPTO, and politicians are all equally clueless or treasonous. Crippling the USA economy with intentional bad policy/laws that diminish the quality of life for (poor & middle) citizens does aide and abet our enemies foreign and domestic. There is no difference in economic or dogma terrorism, both result in the deaths of many and should be illegal.
Antitrust lost its fangs under Clinton was it 69 on the desktop? No pain safe sex.... A shrub or flaming bush only worries about goats having teeth.
Gum politicians will always suck corporations for money and sell the public into legal economic slavery. Is there a reason; other than B2B short-term and theft of property from the less educated and poorest folks in the USA for sub-prime adjustable rate loans. The flaming bush, just like in the past, bailed out the gods/owners of our economy/financial systems, but left the sub-prime adjustable rate loan-sharks' laws, processes, and institutions fully functional for the next property scam in about ten years.
I am very old school... I look at an array as a table/2D-matrix of discreet values to be treated/used as defined by a FORTRAN program. The row for me (long ago) was always in the old dBaseI, I used to define a releated dataset, and the column was a variable identifier.
The last time I created a database, most folks had just started calling 'rows' records and 'columns' fields. I forget what they called an nD-array/matrix. But to this day it drives me a little crazy when someone sends me a ledger/spreadsheet and call it a database.
I will look/read at mit's c-store for more knowledge...?
Ain't no difference mythology/god, faith/dogma ...

Why Myths Persist
·
· Score: 1
Religion was the first political party in any human civilization. Politics today... communism/capitalism, plutocracy/oligarchy... christianity/islam... all are modern religions/politics with droll institutional architecture for exploiting the public interest and consolidating wealth for the approved few hellishly evil minions.
I agree, persistent myth is due to plausible lies from believable criminals seeking to disadvantage reasonable debate/discussion with a personally advantageous dogma [AKA: Political Platform (PP)].
Religion/Mythology, PP, lies, crime is like the M$ platform, the blue-screen of death (or genocide) is never their fault or problem.
Many (maybe majority) people will always believe their naturally hallucinatory mind, rather than use basic reasoning skills to make sensible decisions about the welfare of the public or themselves.
There are far to many people with adelophobia (fear of the unknown or nothing) not paranoia, xenophobia, or another tag-phobia, but extreme irrational fear of things beyond their knowledge, understanding, control... which causes a person to create a personalized belief/faith system in a cosmic mythological parental figure for protection and guidance in the great and dangerous (proverbial) valley of unknowns in foreigners/places, science, technology, medicine, space.... This is the difference for many people between functional and dysfunctional.
It is the main reason, I think, that there must be species evolution in progress. Some folks are fascinated and curious about the unknown and seek new knowledge and experience with reasonable caution (not crippling fear). My label is Homo-Sapient-Prescient (HSP), because they look to discover and build a better future for humanity.
The Homo-Sapien-Sapient (HSS) holds humanities past as proof of the validity and value of their righteous dogma for others to follow.
I suspect, no proof, that people of mixed inter-racial genetics are more likely to be HSP. Also, that inter-breeding will eventually drive the HSS to extinction by interspecies absorption.
Please understand the government of China is totalitarian not democratic. The economy and social system of China is communist not capitalist. Governments of China, Russia, US, EU India... do what they want with the expendable and spendable property/population of the state.
So, the governments of China, US... will take military action when it is suspected to be adventitious to the puppet-masters of humanity....
China has a long history based on (in their psyche) achieving peace by enemy elimination. China is preparing for war with a long-large vision of survival and peace, by basic SunTzu rules.
China is safe to others when they close their doors and build great walls. When the doors of China appear open, and that the great walls are symbolic and easily breached, China is preparing for their future of peace and prosperity without problems from US, EU or others.
Final Point: The Government of China does not rule the PLA/military; anymore than the USA Congress rules the President or Supreme Court.
Cynical Diogenes a person always searching for virtue in self and other persons (even politicians). Yes, Diogenes the cynic was considered a virtuous person. Diogenes was a dirty, scruffy, unkempt vagabond of ancient Greek roads. Also, the lamp/light at night thing is simply modern allegory, Diogenes would not of been able to afford a lamp and oil to light the night, he would have waited for daylight (I think). Diogenes was a sort of traveling philosopher evangelist preaching that human virtue is not wealth, oppression, megalomania....
Now many hundreds of years later the word "Cynicism" (as spun by our cultures/history) is used to define folks who maintain that self-interest/greed/... are the motives for all human behavior. The "modern cynic" [AKA: anti-Cynic] call all altruistic human virtues, actions, and behavior insincere flattery, lies, bullshit, flimflam, and/or the actions of fools.
Most US, EU... citizens are "Cynics", but not "modern cynics". Most folks are not cynical (modern use) towards family, friends... other citizens. Most folks are Cynical (archaic use) towards: (1) all CEO/CFO corporatist after the recent/next thefts of retirements, corruption of politicians..., (2) all politicians after being hoodwinked into a war for profiteers, discovering that a third of our infrastructure is about to collapse..., (3) all religious clergy (Wicca to Islam...) wanting us to murder/oppress others, molest our children, subjugate our mothers, pay money for big-wonderful worthless buildings, good living standards........
Many Citizens are being called Cynics by "white-collar-trash" (corporatist, plutocrats...) who could never be, and never want to be Cynics. IOW: Most (not all) Politicians, clergy... have no virtue, seek no virtue, and expect no virtue in themselves or anyone; Therefor, they could never be Cynics.
Good People and Citizens are Cynics in spirit (moral code) and as a Cynic you must always search for virtue in self and other persons. The Democrats, Republicans, Independents, bishops/clergy..., CEO/CFO... have all (OK, most) failed to be virtuous or have redeemable value to the Citizens they are supposed to respect, honor, serve, protect....
Geeks, phreaks, nurds, moms and dads around the world are looking for honest, and far better representation for "The People". In the USA, god and libertarians are part of the spectrum being looked at by many good citizens to avoid (1) economic meltdown, (2) WWIII, (3) decreased living standards, (4)... reality is a....
IT IS GOOD AND HONORABLE TO BE A CYNIC! I wish (by law) all plutocrats, politicians, clergy... had to be Cynics.
Intense and interesting spread "54% of CEOs Dissatisfied With Innovation"... "97% of Innovators Dissatisfied with CEOs" and the problem is Businesses Management (BM) of The Almighty Science/Technology Budget.
Invention is a tangible result, which was intuitively created by the actions of a genius. Innovation is the introduction of something new [make changes] into anything established.
Leadership is about vision, prescience, experience, and the genius to create real measurable success. BM is about tangible, measurable, results by a very smart person, but probably not a genius. CEO/CFO/CIO/COO/CTO/BSO... are for the most part BM oriented and educated. Most (not all) CEO/CFO... are not creative innovative inventive geniuses. CEO/CFO... are down to earth practical dogmatist that mentally max-out on concepts/ideas at the "addition and subtraction" level of abstraction and thought. IMO: Business Management and CEO/CFO... are a perfect match.
The Almighty Science/Technology Budget (again, IMO) should be managed by CEO/CFO.... Regretfully, without leadership "The Almighty Science/Technology Budget" can be very foolishly and quickly squandered by a company, group, government.... Also, cultural/society risk-averse intransigence, which adversely impacts internal a/o external business processes is always a major co-variate cause for failure. Invention, innovation, and leadership cohesion and consensus are all required for success. Community/corporate culture and the BM CEO/CFO... cohesion and support are required.
The top goal must always be real measurable success. In business/government... money lost and saved is the real measurement standard of success. In science, art, society/humanity, relationships... the real measure of success is never monetary.
Innovation/Invention and associated ideas/concepts are never the obstacle a/o failure cause. Failure is a human expectation, preparation, and implementation deficiency; So, the BM person (I think) is always the cause of failure. I have known and read about BM persons that have science, art, and engineer PhD degrees, but little or no practical experience in any science, technology, art....
Note: Practical experience is required for leadership and insight into reality. Ask USGrant, RELee, GCPatton... about war, "Practical Experience" and education value related to real (non-monetary) measurable success.
THAT WAS A TEST: If you thought war cost... allot of money, then you are a BM person, not a leader or genius.
Rather then going into more distracting detail....
Top-heavy screw-up a/o do nothing BM is a big unnecessary waste of money globally. CEO/CFO/CIO/COO/CTO/BSO...President/King/... excuse-management and spin-failure needs to end.
If you want Innovation/Business success consider electing, hiring... assigning a Venture Architect to every project/program/service... not a BM.
Define, Venture Architect: A nexus professional with (1) extensive understanding of the projects "Venture Charter" funding and requirements (in science, research, development, technology, engineering, finance, services, and/or...). (2) germane inclusive practical application experience. (3) strong venture/mission community collaboration skills. (4) the ability to [a] detect obscured implicit knowledge, [b] design atypical synergistic relationships/processes, and [c] define manageable mission complexity components and delegate to a specific venture collaborative community. (5) verifiabl, measurable, and vetted gainful consensus decision performance leading to mission success.
Each business and program VA should have their own VA Resources Officers (while the "Venture Charter" exist): Business Manager (BRM), Financial Manager (FRM), Human Resources Managers (HRM).
Is capitalism an economic or social model? Is communism a social or economic model?
New World Order Economics appears (to me) to be a seriously flawed social model with feudal economics value. "Industry Standard" is correct (you agreed!), M$ Marketeer-spin converts "MS Office Industry[OEM/OSD] XML (OIXML)" into "MS Office Open XML (OOXML)".
The only possible reason (I think) for this "M$ Marketeer-spin" is to perpetrate an "Open-Fraud" on a global market scale, dilute the financial clout that the term "Open" provides to small innovative software, research... businesses, non-profit foundations, governments... and prevent competition and innovation that promotes capitalist economics. So, M$ does fit the model of a "New World Order Corporate-Communism".
I agree, there has been no legal standing set for the Business/Technology usage of the term "Open", but maybe there will be a few nations' citizens around the world that petition their governments and courts to strictly and legally define how the term "Open" can be used and limit marketing fraud.
I remember when M$ filed to have the term "windows" trademarked, now the term "Windows" is a trademark that is tightly and legally protected by M$. Try using the term "Windows" as a product name....
I know you do not understand why I used the tirade/troll method for addressing this topic, but... it is just my way sometimes. I know you understand and agree that there is nothing "OPEN" other then the intent of M$ to injure companies using the term "Open" or at least minimize the earning value of the "OPEN" term and "Open" economic concepts/model.
Also, communism is a social model as is the phrase "New World Order" as used by politicians today and (close enough translation) by WWII fascist. Present "New World Order Corporate-Communism" would be a theory/system of social organization based on the holding of all property in pseudo-common, the actual ownership being ascribed to the corporate-community as a whole or to the corporate-state. Anyway, I appear to be reasonably/logically correct in what I stated, but many are blinded by revisionist-spin and the old withered laurels upon which their dogma is based.

Please, understand (I do not say) wars or warriors are bad. Warriors fight for family, friends, and ideals. Warriors are never the pitiable and fearful foolish followers of pseudo-patriotism flag waving, religious dogma, or the mental and emotional cripples looking for gold, glory, and/or gore.
War can be forced upon Warriors, Warriors are human and make mistakes, but Warriors cannot be forced to fight on any battlefield. Warriors prevent the subjugation/slavery of family, friends, and ideals. Wars are human events caused by an insane few to injure the many. Economic class-warfare is cultural war and does cause death and instability of human lives and societies.

In the NY TIMES of April 4, 1998, Jeff Gerth with Raymond Bonner exposed a manipulation wherein the US government and 2 major American arms companies transferred Ballistic Missile technology to China. As a Grand Jury was investigating whether 2 American companies (Loral Space & Communications and Hughes Electronics) gave China space expertise that significantly advanced Beijing's ballistic missile program, President Clinton approved of this transfer 2 months ago. Clinton undercut a Grand Jury investigation in order to protect what? or whom? Gerth also exposed the huge $2.5 million contribution made by Loral and Hughes to the Democratic Party since 1991. http://www.jonathanpollard.org/1998/040798b.htm

I agree, ID-theft is big USA business. ID as personal property ended decades ago. Long ago all names and Social Security Numbers (SSN) were in the wild of the W3. When credit/finance, retail stores, banks ... many businesses (& Government) are held financially responsible for allowing the ID ... personal data/content (loans, medical, purchases ...) theft, then maybe the corporatist-welfare laws will change. Most places still demand your SSN for ID. Few care where you lived for the last ##years. Many ways to stop most to all ID theft, but then big USA business would lose many (end of year) tax-deductions. Also, the whole nascent ID-Theft-protection (mafia-like) business sector would collapse.

Capitalism: An economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of IPR wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations.

M$S: GWBush, good for Nepotism. Nepotism: Favoritism, granted to a select few people of ignoble virtue, providing petite-tyrants a social system/institution for exploiting public segments of the society/culture and supporting a tyrant economy. Monopolistic nepotism policy is for uniting/securing separate segments/sectors of an economy for certain corporatist-welfare purposes for single corporate state expansionism. Nepotism promotes extending the rule or authority of very few plutocrats over an entire serf-population. Allows corporations to exploit and control low-TEK cultures, countries, communities participation in global economics. Development is controlled and limited to private access (IPR) property. [help none/few].
GPL generates far greater global economic competition and dynamics, which provide greater ROI too developing and industrial nations, and has no adverse impact on global economics and human performance/success.
BSD is good for US, EU, others corporations and individual sharing and controlling property, but the ROI is very limited, and benefits the capitalist developed nations far more than global economics and humanity.
M$S (current IPR/copyrights) provides slim global ROI, mediocre private ROI, eliminates competition and/or suppresses innovation. The global economic value to humanity is very limited, almost worthless on a stagnate global scale economy.
Don't clump BSD products with any M$S/proprietary corporatist-welfare state.

Favoring traditional views and values fixated with preventing change that would potentially introduce possibly uncontrollable unknowns. This may apply to many politicians today, but I would not consider a "Conservative" as HSS unless they are dogma fixated for mental and emotional stability, which is proof of their psychological disability.

All unknowns are personal and community adventures for HSP endeavors seeking improvement. This may apply to far to few politicians today, but I would not consider a "Liberal" as HSP unless their mental and emotional stability are fixated on discovering the unknown, which is proof of their psychological ability to use change (the real fact of life) as a tool for enhancing the complete human-family/species condition.

Capitalism is an economic model.

Capitalism is market governed.
Dogma is irrational emotional doctrine of cult/sect followers.
So, capitalism cannot be dogma, but dogmatist can preach pseudo-capitalism as capitalism to faithful followers.
Capitalism as an economic institution (model/architecture implemented) in a society/country is neither good or bad.
Capitalism when market governed is a reasonable industrial age economics model (best, ?IDK?).
Capitalism does not exist in a corporatist/plutocrat controlled totalitarian market.
Dogmatist pseudo-capitalism has more in common with a serf/barter feudal/cast economic model.
Anyway, if the oppressed/ruled suffer, do the rulers/plutocrats feel hurt/pain?
Yes, then there may be some democratic government and capitalist/meritocracy economy with free citizens and open culture.
No, then the minimum required (democracy, meritocracy, and freedom) for a free society does not exist.
Manipulated/controlled politics, economics, religion, citizens
This is the main reason, I define the USA as a corporatist-welfare state. Freedom in the USA is a delusion/illusion for citizens trusting in the benevolence, honor, character, and ethics of their ruling plutocrat who are always hoping the public will never see/seek the truth.
Having said the above
Fraud is never capitalism. Fraud is a crime that frequently will not be investigated/prosecuted in the USA. USA capitalism ended shortly after the civil war. The USA economy for the last 50 to 100 years has been a government mandated corporatist-zombie. The accumulation of profits are very personal focused, reinvestment of profits decrease for more accounting/stock-scams (not development/expansion), and gains are protected by government protected closed corporate market shenanigans. The new law will provide walk through room for different/more fraud.
Definition of Fraud: A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain. A piece of trickery; a trick.
Definition of Capitalism: An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
IOW: Yes, USA Biz-Management schools and the graduates are scam/crime factories with fool/criminal professors spewing and spinning plutocrat-dogma as CAPITALISM.
Your comments are a prevailing accepted truth about capitalist economics in the USA. Your comments help to prove pseudo-capitalism, lies, and crime are the defining functional factors of current USA economics.
Corporatist owned politicians are directed a/o puppet actors not leaders in the USA. The Iraq conflict profiteering, faux-patriotism rhetoric, and myth-faith preaching are used as marketeer hype for more legalized criminal activity digging another recession/depression pit for the general public with less than a $7-figure enfranchising annual income.
Allegorically, the public has become the metaphorical trash left behind by proverbial assholes who keep their hands clean by using brown-nose, fart-sucking, shit-eating politicians (most not all).
Anyway don't define reality by word-spin to support dogma.
Dogma is always a bullshit refuge for genocidal megalomaniacs and fools.

FCC leads DoJ in managing competition for economic benefits in a far stronger and extremely manipulated marketplace for US select plutocrats. There is no broadband competition in the USA, the FCC protects corporate/political interest, the DoJ, USPTO, and politicians are all equally clueless or treasonous. Crippling the USA economy with intentional bad policy/laws that diminish the quality of life for (poor & middle) citizens does aide and abet our enemies foreign and domestic. There is no difference in economic or dogma terrorism, both result in the deaths of many and should be illegal.

It is the main reason, I think, that there must be species evolution in
progress. Some folks are fascinated and curious about the unknown and
seek new knowledge and experience with reasonable caution (not crippling
fear). My label is Homo-Sapient-Prescient (HSP), because they look to
discover and build a better future for humanity.
The Homo-Sapien-Sapient (HSS) holds humanities past as proof of the
validity and value of their righteous dogma for others to follow.

China is preparing for war with a long-large vision of survival and peace, by basic SunTzu rules.
China is safe to others when they close their doors and build great walls.
When the doors of China appear open, and that the great walls are symbolic
and easily breached, China is preparing for their future of peace and
prosperity without problems from US, EU or others.
Final Point: The Government of China does not rule the PLA/military;
anymore than the USA Congress rules the President or Supreme Court.

and the problem is Businesses Management (BM) of The Almighty Science/Technology Budget.
Invention is a tangible result, which was intuitively created by the actions of a genius.
Innovation is the introduction of something new [make changes] into anything established.

BM is about tangible, measurable, results by a very smart person, but probably not a genius.

Dear AC,
... businesses, non-profit foundations, governments ... and prevent competition and innovation that promotes capitalist economics. So, M$ does fit the model of a "New World Order Corporate-Communism".
....
... it is just my way sometimes. I know you understand and agree that there is nothing "OPEN" other then the intent of M$ to injure companies using the term "Open" or at least minimize the earning value of the "OPEN" term and "Open" economic concepts/model.
... many universities globally are excellent at developing young minds to be proselytes, but reasoning, thinking, understanding ... alludes most (thank god not all) of the graduates, doctorates, and professors.
Is capitalism an economic or social model?
Is communism a social or economic model?
New World Order Economics appears (to me) to be a seriously flawed social model with feudal economics value.
"Industry Standard" is correct (you agreed!), M$ Marketeer-spin converts "MS Office Industry[OEM/OSD] XML (OIXML)" into "MS Office Open XML (OOXML)".
The only possible reason (I think) for this "M$ Marketeer-spin" is to perpetrate an "Open-Fraud" on a global market scale, dilute the financial clout that the term "Open" provides to small innovative software, research
I agree, there has been no legal standing set for the Business/Technology usage of the term "Open", but maybe there will be a few nations' citizens around the world that petition their governments and courts to strictly and legally define how the term "Open" can be used and limit marketing fraud.
I remember when M$ filed to have the term "windows" trademarked, now the term "Windows" is a trademark that is tightly and legally protected by M$. Try using the term "Windows" as a product name
I know you do not understand why I used the tirade/troll method for addressing this topic, but
Also, communism is a social model as is the phrase "New World Order" as used by politicians today and (close enough translation) by WWII fascist. Present "New World Order Corporate-Communism" would be a theory/system of social organization based on the holding of all property in pseudo-common, the actual ownership being ascribed to the corporate-community as a whole or to the corporate-state. Anyway, I appear to be reasonably/logically correct in what I stated, but many are blinded by revisionist-spin and the old withered laurels upon which their dogma is based.
The original wit/ethics of dogma/politics..., when regurgitated by any proselyte has less meaning, understanding, and no value to anyone. Harvard, Yale
