4 Titans with 6 of those Gravity disruptor things that make the ships spin round and round (can't remember the name of them), Reinforced Hull and Heavy Armor. If that doesn't kill the Gaurdian try 5 or 6 of the same ships.
How many people want to wait for an unlicensed and unregulated mechanic to cause them injury just so they can sue the mechanic to put him out of business?
A mechanic who has been required to be licensed is garunteed to have a minimum of training that raises the safety of his work for all of his customers.
Same goes for hairdressers and just about anyone else required to get a license.
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. While you went out your way to not insult anyone, allow me to go right ahead.
Open Source is primarily about egos. Who's the best h4x0r, l33t c0d3r..etc. The problem with these egos is they are rarely justified. This whole OSS shebang began when the Ultimate of Egos, Richard Stallman discovered from his hairy unwashed haze that it was finally time to graduate and go out into the real world...ie...time to get a job. What he discovered to his absolute horror was that his fellow students had all snagged jobs at companies that produced proprietary software. Up until this point, RMS had been wallowing in the free for all environment of the university lab where no one had to pay for anything. He of course thought the entire world either would be or should be like this.
Enraged that his fellow students had "sold out" he sought to create a new world. A world where investment in intellectual property is no longer respected. Where substandard free software is promoted in the place of damn good proprietary software all in the name of "principles". A world where a software license is used that actually restricts a developers freedom rather than increases it. A world where he from his bully pulpit sees it fit to cast wide and deep guilt trips among all those who do not adhere to the purity of the cause.
Its a whole GNU World out there. And Stallman's doing his best to bring it to you whether you like it or not!
Uh Jay Leno has a HUGE car collection. Massively large. So he isn't giving it ALL away.
Secondly, Money may be a piss poor way to judge people but its the best we currently have.
Remember, in the grand scheme of things open source doesn't matter. But how much money you make does. Those who were rich while they were alive get into Heaven or Hell MUCH faster than everyone else.
Not only is that Pentium 3.2Ghz faster than an out of date Mac Plus, but its also faster than a brand new off the line Dual CPU G4 1.2Ghz PowerMac! This is not counting one single application in the known universe, Photoshop, that seems to disobey the laws of microprocessing physics.
Thanks for playing Trying to Setup a Strawman or Fallacy though. I really enjoyed it and hope you come back soon to play it again!
His point is despite all this "work" it amounts to nothing since they farmers can't even afford to give their product away due to massive overproduction.
There is no Federal law against prostitution. Its up to the states. 49 states make it illegal. One, Nevada allows it in a very small county. Its near Las Vegas.
Not only am I a Mac user, but I play one on TV. (Actually I don't but I really do have a Mac) So trust me when I confirm that they are infact slower in comparison to Windows running PC's.

Give them a break. They're just doing what they have to do to keep this website open so you ungrateful misfits can have a collective place to post your anti-business, anti-money postings.
At long last a brilliant technology has arrived that will enable society to lower the salaries of overpaid pilots worldwide. In as little time as one decade, no more $100k-200k per year hotshot airliner pilots! wh00 h00!!
Since you served in the military I'll give you some forgiveness due to your almost certain lack of forbrain capacity but this still must be asked:
Are you ready for the price of everything to go up? Are you ready for the US to fall behind in engineering because we cannot hire the foreign talent that we need? Are you honset with yourself about the fact that US IT professionals are piss poor compared to just about everyone around the world and that without foreign scientific talent the US would not be where it is today?
There's no way with an honest face you can tell me that US educated IT workers are even on par with our foriegn counter-parts. It just isn't the reality.
Technology jobs are easy to export because it is a field that lends itself very easily to telecommunication. Its not because of a lack of organization on labors part. HB-1 Visas are just the beginning. How do you prevent a company from just setting up shop in a foreign country?
Unions already have enough power in the United States. We don't want to see our economy crippled with high unemployment and low GDP growth due to a company's inability to fire people when necessary like what happens in Europe and Japan.
Lets continue to value US Job Availability over Euro/Nippon Job Security.
Lest we want to happen to us what is now happening to Japan and Europe. Due to lowered levels of immigration those regions are experiencing an aging of the population. This busts the social security systems. With less people paying in, less money can be sent out.
We need more people. Not less. Immigrants add to the economy. They add workers, and consumers. What they bring to the economy more than outweighs what they take out via usage of social services.
No! More jailed admins means more jobs for other unemployed techies!
...........does Mandrake need some more money again?

If you think that extremists are the only ones who think, then it is YOU who has switched off his brain.

Tell that to Nevada.
There is no Federal law against prostitution. Its up to the states. 49 states make it illegal. One, Nevada allows it in a very small county. Its near Las Vegas.
Fortunately it wasn't a sad thing. Those commercial interests provided jobs and increased wealth for thousands of people.

MS didn't use kiddy encryption. Its 2048bit encryption. Thats 2 megabits. Most people are used to 56bit encryption. You got a quantum computer handy?
Hahahahahah. Intellectual property disrespecting morons.
Yes.
$0.
I want them all replaced by robots.

Was the name of the book Fools something? A SCI-FI book about AI's that were using human bodies to exist in the real world?

Just a few questions.
