DocSearcher - http://docsearcher.henschelsoft.de/ - already does it.

When the Nationals (the DC baseball team) started up a couple years back, some people threw a fit because their logo is a big cursive "W". Apparently some saw it as an endorsement of Bush....whereas the rest of us know what it stands for "War".
Why not? There are many Greens who are working at doing the same things now. And the Amish. And some Mennonites. And some survivalists. And people living in the "backwoods" of many countries. Self-sufficiency isn't impossible at all but there's a tradeoff in the standard of living and what you have available. Division of Labor is one of the greatest things that has moved society forward, but even in the valley - Midas' Gulch? - they did have segmentation of labor and the free trade of goods and services.
"Where Rand fails is that although she's half-right -- you can't compel genius to invent -- she's just as half-wrong, in that one of the hallmarks of genius is that not even the genius can compel himself not to invent. "
I think she covers that pretty well... they don't stop inventing, they just stop sharing their inventions with outsiders. I think the same thing would happen if the GPL3 pushed as far as it was initially feared.
"they discover that they actually have no clue how to do all the mundane every-day tasks these people had done for them, like actually producing metals, cooking, or cleaning up. They all end up having to work the fields, muttering about how much it sucks."
You should try reading the actual book sometime. They were already doing that in the Valley...
I worked for a former spook who told me all about this and how they were helping design some of the hardware directly with the telco's. Of course, he left the spook-business in '84 or so.
I think you've got it dead on. If the ARC builds up momentum, I think they could easily take it away from J&J.
After all, it's a little non-profit that helps poor sick people against a big heartless corporation that only cares about profits and has helped increase the cost of healthcare and insurance. Hell, if they can tie the ARC to helping innocent civilians in Iraq and J&J to Haliburton, it will become an issue in the next Democratic debate.
And here's the other thing... the GPL and every other license is *built* on this principle. They - like Regal Cinemas - has the right to revoke your license if you break the terms. This girl broke the terms (just like LinkSys did years ago) and in order to protect their property, they have to enforce the claim. End of story.
I personally believe that this is a *beautiful* way to go. It does not do anything to the honest user who just wants to have control over the music they've bought... copy it to whatever device, this doesn't make your life difficult.
But, as soon as you start sharing it with all your friends, there is *potential* to track it back down to the source. No, it's not foolproof, but you're never going to catch the people who are dedicated to distributing. This will stop the less tech-savy from passing along the music.
Hey, dotProject core contributor here... would you mind contacting me directly? I'd love to hear about how you're using dotProject and get feedback on your personal experience with it.... good and bad. Thanks!
It gets even murkier if you build from the basis of "the government should protect the country"... because most of us agree that a government should be able to limit/govern/know *who* and *what* comes in the country (via Immigration/Customs). Wouldn't the logical conclusion be that they have the job to limit/govern/know what information comes in?
Lieberman used to make his sanctimonious pleas against vulgarity in public life, then appear on Imus, go figure what type of hypocrite he is. Media Matters was tracking Imus precisely because he gave establishment war supporters a platform.
You're forgetting that he supported Kerry in 2004 and even supported him after Kerry's stupid "if you're dumb, you join the Army" (paraphrased) remark. MM was monitoring him because he was a target for removal... he didn't toe any Leftist line and should therefore be silenced. These thugs can't win in the marketplace, but they can win by going on the attack.
There are others on their list...

The problem is that CO2 is naturally occurring from things like volcanoes, animals, and you know... human lungs.
I hope the various Green Geek-types turn their servers off at night and pass up that next upgrade because after all, very few people need the extra power of the latest and greatest.
"Could be, but one would expect more from a company whose name became a verb in the English language. If all a new graduate expects to do is to track down bugs in someone else's program one should say goodbye to all innovation."
The last time I checked, Google leveraged a huge amount of Open Source software in their infrastructure to make said innovation happen. As a result, they've solved bugs, implemented functionality, and probably done 100x more things that I simply don't know about.
A career in software development is all about interacting with other people's code... sometimes it's directly like supporting an existing app, other times, it's ancillary like when you use libraries from third parties, and other times it's almost accidental like when you utilize additional services (web services, etc).
"Let the old guys do the incremental improvements, young programmers should spend one summer doing things no one has ever tried, or at least things they never heard about."
Considering the vast majority of new graduates are going to take a job where they're working on someone else's codebase tracking down bugs, implementing new functionality, and generally making improvements, the projects make quite a bit of sense. Further, if you read some of the details of what the various projects are talking about, some are looking for quite innovative and creative functionality.
Which sounds better: "I started a new project from nothing to compete with Eclipse" or "I created an Proof of Concept plugin for Eclipse that shows how to write plugins in PHP"
Both show some insight, but I'd wager that one will actually get done and be in a demo-quality state.
I never got into Dr. Who until I caught the latest few episodes on BBC America around Christmas. I immediately got the first season on DVD and it was fantastic. I'm looking forward to catching up and seeing the new ones soon.
"Because if we don't, then tax dollars just end up being used to bail the failing company out of debt, or pay for its employees unemployment benefits, or bail out the pension plan, or give them health benefits, etc. etc."
Actually, the US government already does this as a practice... check out the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation - http://www.pbgc.gov/ - which was created in the 70's. The interesting thing to consider though... if this organization was created in the 70's, doesn't this mean that the problem of huge unfunded liabilities was acknowledged 30+ years ago?
Agreed. The market is tiny and segmented between all the distros.
Let's face it, to get any distro from a mainstream distributor we're going to have to standardize on one... which isn't going to happen any time soon. In the meantime, we're stuck wiping the box and installing ourselves.
Actually, I'd be happy if they just gave me a clean box and let me handle the rest.

Having a small government for the sake of a small government is no better than more government for the sake of more government.
A small government with less power/budget should be less effective at taking our rights.

Is that why the lobby heavily for abortion? To reduce the workforce and therefore force prices higher?
