If you want to win at the game, you must aquire a bunch of money. Lots of money. Then you will have absolutely no problem with the women. Other stuff may offer you temporary advantages, but hands down, money for the win. You want "the key" to being in that "very few" who get any? The key is solid gold. Black gold that is.
Isn't GPL3 addressing this specific problem? At least, attempting to? I seem to recall in the india speech that rms/moglen were explaining that the GFDL3 would be compatible with GPL3, due to the 'extendability'/'additional terms' section7? I could be entirely wrong here but that's what I got out of it.
1) It's no longer the case that technical ability and know-how is enough. Software Patents and other legal issues are causing people like rms to consider whether it's even feasible at all to be a developer, unless something is done to push back against the US/international law criminalizing software development, free or unfree. It will mean absolutely nothing when you're talented and knowledgable enough to write/compile your own compiler/OS, but trying to connect a Non-Trusted-Group approved device to any network becomes a felony, punishable by multiple life sentances. It'll be equally worthless to know how to 'roll your own' linux distro when all computer programming tools(the ones that aren't covered by over-broad, obvious, ignorant of prior art patents) require a license much like firearms do in some countries prohibiting nearly everyone from using them.
I consider it a right-leaning, pro-Israel, pro-American(having a publicly funded firm spread anti-Canadian US propaganda is almost treason in my view), pro-theocracy, pro-CRIA/RIAA, pro-corpolitical, anti-technoprogressive, anti-free software station.
But like you, my views may be dated, since I don't think I've seen/heard CBC since, god, 1998? 2000? and although I've been to their website during election season, they always annoyed me with their smug right-wing, ignorant and outdated worldview.
What exactly is a sufficient in the verification of facts? I mean, if I'm making note of results at CERN or Saskatoon's Synchotron, should I go out and build one to make sure that they are not outright lying about their results? Or would asking the people who work there be enough? What about reading the actual papers where the results are discussed? Interviewing the experts in the feild? Talking to someone who is in the feild? Talking to someone, while outside of the feild, who has a zeal for the feild? Asking a scientist, outside the feild, with little interest in the feild, but who is known to be well informed? Asking a scientist? Asking a teacher/professor? What about a grad student? What about just some random luser?
We've seen the major newsmedia in the states completely led astray by the US government, Captain's Quarters recently led astray by israeli propeganda (even so much so that its members were starting to make comment of it) and countless other blogs, newspapers and tv news outlets screw up on an regular basis. So what would be an acceptable amount of verification? I'd imagine it'd depend on the topic, and the amount of controversy involved.
I guess my point of view comes from this: I've spent some time around journalists and they are the biggest drunkards, party animals, and sleazeballs I think I've ever come across. The closest I can come to explaining it is that Hunter S Thompson chose the right feild. And to think that they are somehow getting their facts objectively right, 100% of the time or something (something my grandpa warned me simply did not happen in the newspaper industry when he worked in it) is about as likely as their passing a breathalizer coming home from work. But supposing they did hold themselves to some sort of moral standard of evaluating and processing information, however base. What would it be? How do they keep their facts "straight"? Is it that when you're part of a large firm or institution that you can doublecheck your sources with a large amount of other sources, in which case wouldn't meta-blogs sort you out just as well?
My approach tends to be that for any issue 98% of my audience doesn't know about it, but 2% might, and that 2% will correct me if I screw up somewhere, and I will accept and make visible my mistakes, and that the 'wisdom of crowds' will keep me from going too far astray. This is also inspiration to gather as much of an audience as possible.
Here's an experiment you can do though; coming on the 29th of this month, there will be a decent cross section of the blogging community, blogging constantly at the Blogathon. Assemble a team and verify everything they say, and see how they do, and make note of the results.
Those nukes that the soviets had are still out there, and many of them are still pointed at you and I. Man is closer today than at the height of the cold war to global thermonuclear war, and the dated russian computer systems are still on hairtrigger alert. We are one computer error away from ending mankind, or 7 minutes if you take the standard measurement.
Where they just ban rave music, send swat teams to raves, try to ban all forms of live electronic music(including rock and roll) in florida, assault marching bands, consider heavy metal (along with most punk and industrial music) as 'satan worshiping' music fit for blacklisting, keep european musicians from being able to enter the country, and choosing the wrong media to listen to music through as a music fan can get you sued into the gutter. You are left with music in america, it's true, and you can say 'well, those kinds of music are illegal there for a purpose' to any of the above, I suppose, but that would be hypocritical.
People! This license is under active development! If you have a problem with it, make *sure* to point it out *now* to the developers, if it's a bug it might be fixable in the near future.
Why do people buy stuff on ebay? You run the risk of dealing with stolen goods, with substandard goods, with substandard sellers - why run that risk? Because you can get a deal, and as a seller because you can shift stock.
What, and you think you're standard brick and mortar store isn't dealing with stolen/substandard goods, and that they aren't a 'substandard' seller themselves? Look at techtronics up here in Canada. They are about as crooked as they come. Left dozens if not more customers, in at least two provinces, who had paid thousands of dollars for computers without product, and employees thinking they had a job unemployed without any notice, by simply vanishing one night.
We still need people to run gas stations, clean up our buildings, serve us coffee and food, sell our clothes, ask us 'would you like fries with that?', to clean up the parks, pick up trash and help little kids cross the street on the way to school.
Hold on
Why can't we pick up our own damn food from the kitchen? Why can't we cook our own coffee? Pick up our clothes off of ebay or something? Gas stations aren't bad, but since the people inside them are being paid by the hour, their employers tend to force them to do all sorts of dull often unnecessary makework tasks; but if all you had to do was take money from people and make sure to report them if they stole gasoline, that could easily be done by a student or something with a book and a pot of coffee. But no, this 'we must keep these people occupied since we're paying them' mentality is the cause of much stress.
why do we need people to ask us 'would you like fries with that?' That is *easily* something that could be done by a computer touchscreen. And mabye I'm old fashioned, but why don't we let kids walk themselves to school? There's plenty of important work out there, but these examples are horrible. Let's free our brothers and sisters from drudgery and slave-fetish working environments, and concentrate on making a world without involuntary servitude, or a minnimum amount therein.
Every time I go into a resturant I feel like throwing up; we're wasting the time of our server, by far, and everything is optimized to give us the apperance of servants for awhile. Same goes for modern malls, and many other places. If we actually optimized for human effort, we could do things a lot differently, and free ourselves to do more interesting things with our lives.
I apologize for the quality of this post; This is an important topic yet I cannot find the words to do it justice.
1) what is this "character" thing of which you speak?
2) what is this "common cause" of which you speak, and why is it worthy of keeping over peace. And if you don't believe in peace, why don't you go out on the killing feilds yourself? Why wait for the rest of us to agree with you? You are in the military, right?
that YOU are instinctually selfish, and that YOU will never change. You can project if you want, but we've changed damn near everything else on the planet and there's no reason to suspect that can't be changed as well. If you intend on keeping to your greed, that's fine, more power to you, but to suppose that no one will ever be a better person then you are is absurd.
Mabye you should admit that you're not capable of thriving in a modern world and admit that you might just be stupid? I read through pretty much every thread posted and not one person has suggested that the guy might be a washout, deserving failure in life, and a cheap chinese bullet to the back of the head, or mabye just to be castrated and sent to work in a nike sweatshop in exchange for someone more deserving of the priviledge of an education?

With the money you'd save from not having to raise kids, you could hire someone. At union wages, no doubt.
doesn't seem to know how to play.

give us well formed definition of "post-modern" and we'll give you an answer.
there is no "the correct choice" for everybody, and diversity and competition are definitely healthier than marketing.
GPL3: now more than ever.
Spoken by someone who can obviously afford to put food on the table.

Is that CBC is a waste of our taxdollars.
However
I consider it a right-leaning, pro-Israel, pro-American(having a publicly funded firm spread anti-Canadian US propaganda is almost treason in my view), pro-theocracy, pro-CRIA/RIAA, pro-corpolitical, anti-technoprogressive, anti-free software station.

GPLv3 does not circumvent DRM, it creates an environment hostile to DRM.

Life is a stamina war, and we all lose eventually. Sometimes you actually have to work in order to reap rewards.
