i'm not debating that we are nothing more than sets of complex self-organizing molecules. my question is what is it, in our complexity, that causes us to actually be thinking about what is it, in our complexity, that causes us to actually
be thinking about what is it, in our complexity, that causes us to actually be thinking about what is it....you get the point. mabye this exists somewhere, but if it does, it has not been explained to me.
when i buy my cd at hmv, i don't pay the artist either. if any of the 40$ that i spend on that cd actually reach them, it'd be mabye.10$. i can't _help_ but to not pay the artist for music, because i haven't really seen much of artists that sell their work for money. guy's like Morally Sound, and Other such small-time bands you can buy their CD's from them - and if they really want to take some bread fr om that then thats' fine. but i don't pay for music i hear on the radio, i don't pay for music i buy at hmv' and i don't pay for music from www sites that artists put up for free.
you think you know the difference between good and bad (and you presuppose there is a difference, but that's another story.). what the above poster i think was looking for, is your reasons, and proof for labelling things good or bad.
Kim Jong Il, to my understanding is no better than bush. both sponsor, from the top of state, torture, mass brainwashing and re-programming, in the name of their country, and use doublespeak terms. the only real difference is that the united states was once a great country, with some sound thinking involved with it's creation and upkeep, until just recently, whereas the korean state appears to have not (nevermind that it has been the front of how many land war's in the past 100-300 years?)
induvidual freedom can exist only so much as people can exist. In environments where there is constant strife, lack of infastructure to foster development and survival, induvidual freedom means mass suicide. the united states CAN have freedom because there it has plenty of natural resources to survive off of. i think north korea and the united states peoples could have freedom, given suficient conditions.
why is it that we are debating whether or not the universe started with a big bang, while guys like stephen hawkings are imagining multiple universes creating and destroying themselves, in open and closed systems, dimensions and branes and all sorts of weird shit, nevermind we still don't have a Unified Grand Theory of Everything, or even a descent connection between Quantum Physics and Astrophysics_Scale Classical Physics. or at least _i_ don't. mabye i missed something, where the scientists in harvard or cambridge or mcgill somewhere decided how to travel through time, what time is, how to move energy from one universe to another (or even, if there _is_ another universe,) how to use the corelation effect properly or to go between going-faster-than-the-speed-of-light and -going-the-speed of light...right down to how it is, that human's can even exist in thought---as in, that soul-thing that descartes was talking about...how does it work? at what layer does it interact with the universe? is there a god? is there a greater layer of reality that our universe, big bang to slow freeze, is merely a part of? is everything we know, everything we have seen so far not even a speck to some grand massive multiuniverse sized _life form_? personally i see a lot of room for improvement, ESPECIALLY in the fundemental axioms of thought, reason, and science. and definitely some changes in the fundemental thought processes of the mainstream human being.
there are plenty of people who's rational, critical, and creative thinking offer greatness , specificallyonradio...
and i really don't know anyone who still watches cnn or any of the other 'trusted' media sources. when you don't have 9/10 radio station's owned by one company, the idea that npr is way to far to the right doesn't sound that outrageous. here, there is some 3 entities that compete for our fm radio, plus we have a community radio station here. plus there's always rantradio. i
bet most of the people
who listen to wbai, cjtr,rantradio, and ahostof other radio networks out there also have grown past the 'seeing cnn as worth watching' stage.
i could use a few as slaves to do my bidding... toss em' over here!
just remember people

· Score: 0, Flamebait
MSNBC not only owns the news, but they own media production. which mean's if they are being critical of an old, non-digital technology, chances are they have something to replace it to sell you, and therefor there is a slant.
they Also are definitely engaged in content creation, which means you are getting misled twice as badly if you beleive this stuff without question.
but every time i accidentally hit the npr on my radio dial (an american station,but i can still pick it up here in canada), i immediately turn away from it after listening to it for a moment.
way too right wing for my tastes.
then again, i don't watch Fox, or television at all...and i'd consider anyone who claims fox, cnn OR npr as 'sanity' as a loon.
i can tell you have never worked for 2$ an hour because you couldn't find a better job. i can tell that you've never gone more than a week without food, because there was just no money to buy it with. i agree that this "take back your time day" is half-brained, and not really any sort of movement worth talking about, but you sir are talking out your ass. there Are people who succomb to the evil that is corporate life, The Right Way (tm), but there are those who are just trying to make ends meet, and reasonably living to boot. most places arent exactly the fertile crescent, there is no food in corporate megacities growing on trees (that you can legally eat, at least), and water, with the exception of a few public buildings costs ~4$ a bottle. i'm afraid i may freeze to death this upcoming winter. of course, not that this matters to you in any way shape or form.
terrorists are motivated by embitterred love.
they are not fighting a human enemy, with feelings and fear --- they are fighting an inhumane monster, possibly evil, in the case of the islamists, they see us as decedance, evil, and sexual perversion _in carnate_, spilling our corrupt semen on their land and hearts.
until you understand this you have no hope of understanding that, there are linux/OpenSourceSoftware users, that are very stressed over the ongoing oppression of many peoples from large multinational conglomerates and other entities not worth mentioning in specific ---
what would you do if enough politicians were greased that linux became illegal to use?
what would you do if it became a felony to use an open source operating system? a felony to view source without a liscence? illegal to even talk about software algorythms that are under copyright? what then? would you join with the rest ofthe brewing resistance and begin to resist? would you, when red/martial law is declared indefinitely, be willing to stand up and fight to restore lost freedoms? to vanquish the monster that has ruined the greatness that was your country?
perhaps some of this may not apply if you live in a country with sane laws, and sane lawmakers. i assume, quite possibly incorrectly that you live in the states, canada, the UK or australia, and with a possible kindred sympathy if you live in china or some nearby-china place.
i'd make 3-5$ an hour coding over making 6.65$ an hour cleaning up puke and scrubbing shit off of bathroom stalls, any day of the week.
anything more and that's just arrogance.
Time.
I would like to be able to say "what time is it" and "i'm feeling lucky" and then Poof 13:32:35 GMT (Click here for different time zones discrepencies from GMT). or mabye i should just write my own damn clock:P still that's about all google does NOT have atm.
i have yet to see anyone make a complete copy of a ferarri F355 in less than a second with no costs and no materials involved whatsoever. get your head out of the 19th-early 20th century ecconomics and mabye, just mabye, then open your eyes.
working for 2$ an hour while being fed drugs just to keep a job to pay 400$ rent a month, while starving myself because i couldn't afford food while saving for university tuition and the riaa has the balls to charge 40$(of course, this being without tax...) per fucking cd? thats insane! thats working a 20 hour sweat-until-you-faint shift for one hour of music, which is mostly sampled off of other cds...that cost.25 cents to manufacture,.10$ to the artist...and the rest goes to TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT I WANT TO BUY IT?!!! i dont want my money to be spent in making my life worse. period.
honestly? i myself am done with all the riaa. with some few exceptions, i am in the future going to get most of my music through p2p/radio, and legal/independant ones at that.and ill be laughing when most of the riaa's catalog succombs to bit rot as no one has 320KHz 64 bit backups handy of their entire catolog. or when some enterprising induvidual finds their warehouses and lights them on fire.
im not so sure. my local public library (regina public library) will not let me have a library card, and i have been asked to leave for not having a library card. what does this come down to? if i want to read, stay and become informed, i have no local library resource...even if it wasn't in some way censorred. so where do i go from there? google is a start...but only a start. to find people who will sell me books, and the books that are worth giving away the little money i have...this is why the internet is important.
not because of all the things it allows us to do--but that, if implemented correctly, it could allow everyone, and i mean everyone, regardless of ecconomic status, age(ever try, as an elementary school student, to find real_information? or even as a highschool student? most of it is filterred through reviews, textbooks, etc. ) , location (as in, there are no libraries i can go to here...but i can always browse gutenberg), etc.
right now i am hosting my website and ftp-site, on 6 irc rooms, centericq, and of course talking on a slashdot forum, explaining to someone in a different country my views on education. today i will find help for any problems i have with my math homework, and communicate to my empty-nest-feeling parents 250km away. and today is a quiet day. i think theres some advancement here.
ok whats the point here?+ the point here is that there are things that are possible now, that were not possible without the internet. people with low ecconomic status may have a window of expression, communication, and a means to improve themselves through the aforementioned two items---either induvidualyl or collectively. and _SURE_ water, air, and food are more important. but it is only a matter of time between people,without water, air and food, who are communicating with the rest of us begin to A) alert the rest-of-us that there is a problem that we can help with and B) begin to learn why it is that they dont have these things (probably imf, or local oppression/misgoverning)...and then C) produce results. of course, i may be dreaming here...
that's right -- quit fooling yourselves and forget the legit-download-for-cheap joke. napster/gnutella has made the record distrobution system obsolete, and the riaa fear for its life. instead of asking for more itunes, how about asking for less legal interferrence from the riaa.
hell how about asking for the _end_ of the riaa. destroy it. we don't need drm, and we don't need itunes: we need less legal pressure groups defending patents/copyrights/etc. free your software, free your knowledge, free your music...then free your mind.
these levies were in the works tens of months if not years ago. where the hell were you then? the show is over -- they have precedent and we have lost. bend over, and take it---thank you for helping earn it for the rest of us.:P
drugs are the last peice of freedom you should be worried about, allright?
thanks to cretien and his liberal anti-terrorist bills, by just associating with me, a potential terrorist, YOU BECOME A POTENTIAL TERRORIST!
there is no freedom of association, the freedoms of the press are a joke, freedom of expression never did exist (it was limited from the start in our "charter of rights and freedoms"), the military can declare ANY zone or area under military law, the banks have mandatory obligations to csis to report any suspicious activity and to report all credit and financial transactions you do to them...we can be deported to the united states, CANADIAN CITIZENS, for not even being accused of committing a crime---all you have to do is be a potential terorrist and you can be thrown to places like syria, saudi arabia, and the united states where torture is legal. we do not have the right to bear arms, and religious laws DO and continue to be passed, and will continue to do so until canada is no longer a country under god.
do i have to mention the FLQ and the notwithstanding clause? do i have to mention known cases of canadians breaking american law, and fbi/SecretService people coming up and arresting people?
what rights do we HAVE in canada?
a country with kangaroo terrorist trials behind closed doors where you don't even get a lawyer(After all, if a lawyer aids a terrorist he can be charged). and try to defend against a federal prosecutor throwing a terrorism charge or two at you, without a lawyer. goood luck.
so what rights do we HAVE? the right not to be in federal prison for fucking marijuana posession?
what a joke. i hope we both get thrown in the same deportation cell so i can knock your ignorant teeth in.
are you talking about artists, or salesmen? while i know only too well the plight of the starving musician, why are you thinking profit as anything remotely important when music itself is at stake?
if the free distrobution of music is prevented by large buisiness, or anything else, no one wins but those with the most invested in the right things:
the musicians will be burned out, in prison, or under contract, the listeners will continue to be forcefed mass-distrobution little-choice Formatted content clearchannel style
and honestly if money is all thats important, dont waste time in the music industry : the financial industry is your true calling.
dont profit from your music. go non-profit, or whatever other flavor of free-knowledge you feel works for you instead.
until music is unchained from buisiness, we will never know which is truly great music, and which is purely a commercial, wrapped up to look like truly great music. and i hate commercials.
if near everyone is working at slavelabour wages in either fast food, software companies that go nowhere, or other such effort sinks...i can see it. got an idea? shut up - you arent entitled to that idea. that idea is now copyright microsoft...oh wait... agent bill?
sometimes i wonder how it is that western civilization manages to go anywhere...
damn lynx deleting my post. anyways ive crashed many a nes, snes, and otherwise... it is possible. while without a doubt dust 'forign objects'(dust/dog hair/etc) is the most common reason for a crash, hardware failures(*cough playstation*) and even design/software bugs do exist. though i didnt know it at the time for what it was, i remember finding with my friend a bug in Final Fantasy I that was repeatable in both our respected cartridges. and that was in the days before complexity of hardware/software really began to take off... i personally can imagine an 8 bit system that doesnt crash. 256/128 bit? thatl be the day... theres just too many things going on.
that being said i once said that i thought that the first ai(a very youthful me, innocent and naieve as i was) would be a next generation(from 98) windows machine that was left up too long and crashed -- and that this crash handling was the first stage of consiousness. why not? mabye crashes in the future will be used to accelarate our technology by giving it *depth*...a randomness(or so i thought before i learned of hardware clocks and random # genorators)...and uniqueness.
