You must have gotten the REALLY good stuff.
Software royalties? ROFL. And THIS is how you expect to compete with cheaper overseas programmers?
Programming isn't an ART. Its labor. You're no different from some guy who never went to college who works in a Ford factory putting together Taurus cars. You put together a product. If they don't get royalties, then why the HELL should you?
You are amazing you know that. You're like the LAST person in the friggin WORLD to learn that software developers ARE NOT SPECIAL. You are not a special class of worker/person/higher being....etc. Software royalties? Jesus H. Christ. Over-inflated sense of self-worth much?
If a company hires workers to build say a new building for them, do you think they still want to be paying for the building in the form of royalties 25 years from now? So what makes software any different?
The main problem with your plan is 1 we're in a recession, 2 there's too many damn programmers all over the world, 3 even after the recession ends you're on angel dust (PCP) if you believe salaries will go back to what they were during the dot.com era, 4 the very dot.com era ITSELF misled programmers into believing they were actually worth the money they were getting paid, 5 Abu Sharif in New Delhi India is very happy to outperform and outwork you for 1/4th of the cost it would take to hire your expensive American ass.
I'm not stupid. I don't make stare inappropriately at breastfeeding women when I am alone. I do it when I am with a group of friends since occassionaly they DO have boyfriends/husbands. There is never an intent to harm, just to make em move on and reconsider public breast showing in the future.
I got news for you pal. Everyone from perverts in unlit alleys to so-called pillars of communities (executives, preachers, politicans) are into hardcore porn. The difference is that the perverts are honest about it while everyone else just lies.
"I simply dont understand why someone would stare inapropriately at someone who is doing somethign the way nature intended it, and doing something significantly proven to be more healthy for the child. Are you 12? Are you the kind of person who sits in an art museum and giggles and goes "BOOBIES!" and punches your buddy in the shoulder when you see a Reubens painting? Im just curious. "
Other than the fact that I'm 23 instead of 12, yes to all of your questions.
"I really dont understand what problem people have with breastfeeding. Theres nothing dirty about boobs, and it works for every other animal with nipples on the planet, so why not for us?"
There is no problem with it. But if I can't get a BJ in public, then I don't think breasts should be bared in public either (even though its legal for a woman to go shirtless since a man can too in public on the street)
Interesting words from a guy with a website named "slimetech"
So pornography is only for perverts? And perverts are in the minority? That is also very interesting based on all the porn sales, VHS tapes and DVD's as well as adult streaming media and x-rated cable channels coupled with all kinds of softcore Maxim, FHM, Playboy, to hardcore magazines Hustler, Penthouse...etc.
You've got some strong feelings on those who like anything other than lily white chaste movies. Are you perhaps suffering from some sort of sexual inhibitions caused by an overly zelous religious upbringing?
Would it really be so much trouble to ask the lady to simply pump some milk beforehand and feed the baby from a bottle while on a flight?
I just don't understand this obsession with breasteeding in public by some women. Aren't they worried about the perverts out there like me who would stare at them inappropriately until they feel dirty or even worse the violent out of control whackos who may become aroused to the point of attacking them? (I'm not like this second group of guys).
I own a Kyocera 7135 Smartphone so I can do most of the things you listed if not more. The problem is regular people don't give a crap about that stuff. And thats why 3G is a failure here in the US.
Mine is a PalmOS phone. I can get on IRC using upIRC, check the weather via AWS or AvantGo, read the news from 50 news sources on AvantGo, update my livejournal blog via AvantGo, use it as a remote control, read ebooks, fax documents, edit MS word/excell documents, email documents with attachments, take pictures with a SD camera, surf the web with a variety of web browsers, send my business card to other PalmOS devices, play games, synch wirelessly.....etc.
All this in a world where most folks can't even figure out how to use the addressbooks on their run of the mill cell phones.
I'm an atheist. Why would I want to become a pastor? And if this is really a forum for intelligent, technically-minded individuals why does it always seem to be "If its pro-Linux GOOD, pro-Microsoft BAD"? A bit simplistic don't you think?
Since the Iraqi's are now liberated and free to form their own democracy which will inevitably lead to a much more open and accountable economy.... how can that possibly be a bad thing?
There are probably more people who abandond Macs altogether and went over to Wintel machines so they could run the next version of Quark than Mac users who stayed and switched to Adobe's inDesign.
Are we supposed to read and be aware of every fucking thing so that whenever someone copies some sort of a concept we'll just instantly be able to recognize and know this?
My pda is also my cell phone. www.kyocerasmartphone.com Its a Kyocera 7135. It cost me $500 at the time that I bought it and I've been able to get two spare batteries, one for $35 cause I was in a rush and later on another for $15.
Due to it being a phone I really have to charge it every night. My previous smartphone, the Kyocera 6035 could go almost an entire week without needing to be recharged but thats because it had a monochrome screen. Man am I glad I have color now.
Ebay is a good source for cheap 3rd party batteries. I also keep a spare charger in my bag and my cradel has a charger of its own.
If you can actually notice a difference in your monthly electric bill for months you charge your phone at home and months when you don't I'd be VERY surprised.
Furthermore would charging from home cost more than buying fuel cell refills? I doubt it.
Not to mention charging at work costs you nothing, charging from your car is a negligible cost...etc.
Now instead of being able to plug in my cell phone and recharge it for FREE, I can now PAY for a fuel cell recharge! WOO HOO!
And instead of the power being conviently in any place where there's an outlet I now get to worry about finding places to BUY fuel cell refills and making sure I have ENOUGH ON HAND at any given time so I'm not ASS OUT OF LUCK!
I'm so glad these fuel cell companies have relieved me of the misery of plugging my phone in every other day. I mean that was SOOOO hard. And its not like buying just one spare battery was easy or anything. Scrounging around for places that SELL fuel cell refills is a much more convienent thing to do in the middle of the night after you've been on the phone for a long period of time and the charge runs down. Phew.
So lets just review for those who may not have gotten it yet.
Instead of recharging my phone at home for FREE, I now get to PAY! Instead of being able to recharge my phone in my car for FREE, I now get to PAY! Instead of having the convienence of power at any outlet or carrying an extra battery for those RARE times the average human is away from an outlet for extended periods of time, I get to SCROUNGE FOR FUEL CELL REFILLS! Lastly, instead of buying an extra charger for the workplace to recharge my phone for FREE, I get to PAY for fuel cell refills!
WOO HOO! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Now THIS is a business plan. Someone ought to make sure that THIS kind of business thinking is taught to all those dot.com rejects who came up with those HORRIBLY STUPID business plans that had NO HOPE OF MAKING ANY MONEY CAUSE THEY WERE STUPID!
What kind of PDA do you have? Mine can be recharged in the cradel OR via the power adapter alone. Plus the battery is removeable. So all you have to do is carry either the adapter and or a spare battery around with you.
Much more convienent then hoping your near some place that will sell fuel cell refills. And why the hell would someone want to PAY to recharge their device everytime it needs recharching?
First of all, Nike is a NAME BRAND. Its SUPPOSED to be expensive. Its a quasi-luxury product. If you want cheap sneakers you can surely find them. They just won't be called NIKE. Some people seem to think that Nike sneakers are a product needed to continue living.
Second, prices HAVE come down for a lot of goods. Cheap new cars, cheap computers (remember what computers used to cost just 5 years ago?), cheap DVD players...etc.

Then you wake the FUCK up and realize consumers have little to no control.

Would you like to talk about it?

You sound like you speak from personal experience.

All this in a world where most folks can't even figure out how to use the addressbooks on their run of the mill cell phones.
There's no hope I tell ya, no hope!
So swears and scantily clad women really bother you that much? Furthermore you see nothing wrong with being bothered by such things?
In every city in the world there's grass and fresh air. Ever hear of Central Park?
Why don't you fill us in on just 10 out of a million uses for 3G.
I'm an atheist. Why would I want to become a pastor? And if this is really a forum for intelligent, technically-minded individuals why does it always seem to be "If its pro-Linux GOOD, pro-Microsoft BAD"? A bit simplistic don't you think?

Margaret Thatcher saved the UK economy from the grip s of the evil Unions which now foul the commercial sectors in France and Germany.
Whats wrong with making a call as soon as the wheels hit the ground?
Are you offended the person wouldn't rather talk to you instead?
....unless we buy all our kids PDA's!
With Graffitti and Graffitti (sp?)II we can restore the handwriting prowess of our nations's youth today!

The US Gov rarely outsources to other nations. The unions won concessions on that years ago.
US Corporations, which this article talks about, are free to outsource to their hearts content.
