I could imagine giving Facebook users the ability to earn money too. Allow them to advertise for corporate sponsors.
Then they can use that money to get new features like freemium games do like League of Legends?
Ok I kid I kid, but here is a real idea I wish someone would go with:
Advertisement revenue sharing. Make a game or gameshow where everyone can compete.
Then when you play ads get shown. At the end of the month, some of the advertisement revenue is kept for the company, but a % of it goes back to the players who did well that month or game.
I was thinking you they could run a weekly "You Don't Know Jack" tournament over the Internet. The winner gets real money based off the ads sold. If you were creative enough, you could make a ton of game shows and and make a game show network on the Internet. Television broadcast game shows only let a limited number of players play at once, with the Internet, you have a whole new spectrum of people to go with.
Try picking a lock without sound. You're supposed to get a click when one of the three digit numbers hits, but I had no sound, so I was playing the state lottery to kill Hitler. I did it once. The worst part is if you died, thats it, restart. So not only did you have to get a three digit combination right, you had to use that dagger to slay guards and make your way to the bottom of the bunker and out with 1 life.
Electronic voting can be hacked rather easily, if not coded fraudulent to begin with. Even with oversight, this is the kind of thing that money can buy votes even easier than television ads telling the people what they want. Electronic voting makes me very upset to see our Democracy constantly eroding. If we're going to use e voting, we should at least have a paper trail that can be validated by each voter. I have a friend that is doing top of the line voting de-duplication and he sees fraud in them already, but no one wants to listen to him.
Slashdot knows how easy it is to hack these things , so why aren't we collectively protesting it? All a campaign needs to do is lose a couple grand to bribe hackers for a chance to get a 51/49% win. No one will ever be able to trace it to the politician, and he she might not know anything about it, just supporters doing. How do we bring national attention on electronic voting machines without actually hacking one as proof and going to jail?
It is funny how many bills he tries to bluff through Congress. This and the millionaires tax are something the republicans are going to torpedo, but in the process, they make republicans look like they hate the small guy. Both parties are against the small guy, but public portrayal of Democrats helping the poor is the old school image that could help them in today's economy too.
They need the box for no updates, because sometimes an update on a production computer = the automation shuts down. Microsoft's forced updates has halted my automations before.
Updates are like inoculations, it helps you even if you don't use them yourself. A virus that can't hit a larger amount of computers might not be pushed as hard as a juicy one which means your unpatched box is safer for the more people with a safe box. It is like Macintosh, it is as vulnerable as Windows, but since less people used it, less viruses were written for it. Macintosh was safer because it had less targets.
Right, let me amend my original comment:
Gather bribes(campaign contributions) to get money. Use money to pay for polls to know what people want. Use money to pay for TV ads to tell the people what they want. When elected, do whatever the people who bribed you tell you to do.
People remark how the turtles can find a small location in the middle of the ocean years after they were born. As long as the Earth's magnetic poles don't radically shift, the turtles could mark a location in their mind when they're born. Then when they need to mate, the signals to their brain tell them where to go on that primal mark.
This is just a random wandering thought. If someone is more informed, feel free to enlighten me.
To me, it sounds like a very bold claim to eliminate all the drawbacks from anything. Maybe you made it a little bit better. But I don't think there is anything in this universe that you can eliminate all the drawbacks. I mean even eliminating a drawback tends to make a new drawback. Lets say you made glass so durable that it wouldn't fracture when hit with a hammer, then you might not want to use that glass in an emergency box which says,"In case of emergency, smash glass"
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 2002(end of dot com era). I guess I shouldn't have went to college and just got a job out of college since I was already coding MMORPG style code. But since I graduated after dot com bust, I couldn't get a job. My career never started. Guess it never will. I programmed this in AS3 with a startup
CDs have been known to hold songs, so everyone who buys cds must be forced to pay tribute to Hollywood! This is so weak. I use CDs to backup my code, but I still have to pay off the RIAA/MPAA because they legislate.

Everyone can mod people like or dislike. And when searching for games, the people with a high ratio of dislikes get all bundled together. That'd make for some halarity
So we find you can control limbs with wires. How long until we control limbs that are wireless? Can a man control 8 robotic arms and be like Dr. Octopus? Can we hook electrodes to our brain, wifi to it, and wifi to a monkey, then we can control a monkey with our minds? All Twilight Zone plot lines aside, this research is really awesome. It gives hope to everyone paralyzed that they'll be able to regain movement again. This is the stuff that money should be thrown at hand over fist.
File copying is not stealing since no one loses anything when it happens. Sure it may change the landscape of how to make a profit, but if it was legal for everyone to copy everything, I think there would be a net societal game. Imagine if K-12-college books were on digital form, and schools no longer had to pay for books. This would save 10,000$ per student in K-12 career. Everyone would have access to every piece of media known to man instead of just those who have money. The old and tired argument that no one would ever make any new media only goes so far.
I do not pirate things, but we can't just go,"We've concluded that filesharing is stealing." when the issue is far more deep than that. Free filesharing might actually be good for the world.

Oh the many ways I know how to slack. I knew it'd come in handy some day, or I wouldn't have trained it so much.

I've paid for polls to know what you want in your area. I am now paying to say what you want to hear. I'll then do whatever I feel like when elected.

Is the phone company to blame if someone plays a song over the phone and someone records it on the other end?
That'd make you biased too :)
