Well Ford was able to handle the storm, and under Henry Fords old ( very modern thinking ) idea's , business must end at some point so that the knowledge gain is spread and new companies sprout to replace out of date companies. Unions keep to old business models, they must be more flexible.
>>Do you really think the bad guys don't know these things?
Well, overall I think most people are rather dumb, and don't want to think outside the box.
That's why we create business plans, to focus our ideas and hit goals.
the first thing when researching the business plan, is to see if there is any free info on the topic. as of today, the goal of world domination has about 2 million search results... search phrase "world domination" -game add a few more filters and I think I have the basis of quality research targets ( added guns, with file types pdf's and narrowed it to 7000. )
so using the published list of target's I could create a business plan targeting those targets with something.
the real point is that now something that might have been out of mind, is now in the focus of possibles, and if these targets are worth something, they will be moved up in the list
off-topic but related: many years ago, published in Analog, Corporate warfare was discussed. So I would not be surprised that in the next 20 years we see 'root' access to system if certain parts are put together.
If I was China, I would be doing this together, just some basic stuff ( hard drive xyz + vidoe card abc = root ) over time and multiple attack vectors, there would be a significant chance that some of these 'roots' would have an advantage that you needed
the improvements to medical services to the general public shows right across the board from the turn of the 20th century, we can watch the rise of life expectancy. I bet the delta on that is huge in comparison to income
none of the leaked cables even indicate this as of yet ( 1000ish out of 200K, is not a fair sample when it's already been filtered )... I'm willing to wait prior to admitting you are right. At this time I will ask you to cite some sources
>> 2) The recent leak of diplomatic cables offers more evidence that the USA does not seem to respect it's allies. Like what? You really think France or Germany would attack the USA? Not in 1000 years. Most of Europe is not the military, war-waging type. I have a hard time imagining how the USA can justify spying on these countries and their officials. If even the closest allies of the USA are treated with so little trust and respect, then I'm not certain any country can fully trust the USA.
I read everything you posted, and you sound like a concerned person that cares about what is happening.... here is the problem, you have very little outside observation on what the "game" is about.
I will use the above quoted text as the example:
the USA and France ( I think Germany also if I can find the source ), France has been spying on us since the beginning of the cold war, it's international agency job is to acquirer any and all tech that french industry can exploit and re-export.
the bigger issue here is that the CIA does not do that for the USA business's. I don't know why but it would be a great help to the USA.
as for other nations: Israel, they are caught all the time trying to a quire things from many nations, USA just being the easiest. Japan: they try to buy it, but if they can't they pay-off someone to get it. China: they try to pay off people first, that typically works India and Pakistan: they offer their ex-patriots to come back and build business's around what they learned ( reversing the brain drain )
South America : Have no clue on what the game looks like from that area.
Off-topic: back in the 80's I would port and polish my intakes ( for those that don't know what I mean, it's basically making a slightly smoother airflow from the carb to the intake manifold, and cleaning up all the little bit's that the mold left ). pushing this idea to the current time, I would be able to reproduce this, and give the steps ( CNC steps ) to everyone... what a great idea...
Next thing will be custom cam grinds ( they still do that right ? )
I think you are looking at this in way to much detail. from what I am listening to on the video and also reading, this machine is for the home brew crowd. I would guess it would be the best thing for midway and or final prototypes before sending out to a manufacturer.
I am not sure that this is relative. not long ago, tracing pattern for dresses were copied and traded. I don't recall the exact details but there was a big stink about it years ago. but at the end there is no copyright laws http://www.tabberone.com/Trademarks/CopyrightLaw/Patterns.shtml . I really don't know how this would be applied to a finished replicated design.
It's rather interesting that most people view this as a government related issue. But think for a moment, besides the relief that the Iranians don't get the nukes working just yet, Whom else might profit from this.
GE and ABB ltd.
Well that got me thinking. Both these companies are big and in the electric game. Both are familiar with this aspect of technology. Both could pull it off.
what a perfect way to cause buyers to distrust your product.
>>Yeah, it would be nice if some construction worker would get royalties and residuals for having worked on a building by collecting a portion of the rent collected from its use. I'm surprised that nobody has tried to enforce that as a form of "intellectual property law"
This does happen, but not everyone can get those types of deals. it happens in a barter type situation, where the bank puts up most of the money, developer puts up some money, and the construction company in exchange for future "royalties" discounts it work. Does it trickle down to the construction companies employees? I really don't know. If they are share holders then yes it does.
You point out the truthfulness of the situation. Let's look at the business model. A) we have a LAWYER that has some courage and wants to defend people at a reasonable rate with a self help package provided in a PDF which is down-loadable. a1) it targets a very specific business model ( USCG bulk lawsuits ) a2) the amount of USCG lawsuits is X a3) he should be able to convert 3% to 8% of the lawsuits after some reasonable testing. a4) so the amount of work he put into it might have been 60 hours ( 60 * $125 ) = nill, he was having a beer every time and relaxing doing it.
the best thing that ever happened is that he got sued by these people, now everyone knows about him.
If the above were true, then that would be a signature of a bot network ( or it's control center ). From what I have read in the past, upon playing with the bot, it responds with different attacks including 1 or 2 forms of deleting the hard drive but embedding itself within the hard drive to become recoverable upon restoring the windows files.
Well if anything, this looks like the start of a simple cyber-war... reduce the ability to eat ( food plant breakdowns ), reduce the availability of water ( water filtration breakdown ), Next should be transport, then it should be fuel, then the last should be available public power. All leads to government breakdown and the next revolution.
I am not sure, but I do recall that anything above a 56 bit encryption is not ok to export outside of the USA back in 2003, I am not up to the rules and reg of current time.
I qualify as an old fuddy-duddy: the advantage of having older people working on staff ( from my perspective ) is that there might be some pride in the quality of work, experience in flow of code ( from what I've read Google has it's own code writing rules ), and the ability to say Fuck You to upper management when they want the project yesterday and you know it going to be next week ( also the ability to use there "Scotty skills" to prevent massive stress ).
for example, I know from experience, a complete code rewrite after a product is deliver, is one of the worst things to do. Most firms don't know that, but ask Microsoft, oracle and the other big firms, they will tell you the same thing. ( the proper way to do a rewrite is to do a dual development, bug test, then bring the staff from the older version on to it for bug fixing, they have all the tricks-solutions from the past that they can incorporate).
Age has it advantage, youthful programmers have the ability to spit out code like no problem. Older coders should know what leads to faster optimization. together they make a well balanced team, which leads to a higher quality product for the consumers.
one thing that older people do lack is the security aspect of coding, and that's is where the youthful counterparts can compliment the older.
I like what you wrote. let me add a few points from my observations to it...
I have found that when people are grouped in less that 105 people, the work together rather well, for some odd reason most people can't recall the names and address of there co-workers when it exceeds 120. to this day I try to keep groups of people that work together to 100 or less. all my teams are basically small business working on the project together from money people, marketing, design and production and regular labor.
>>And in the late 1800s it was proposed that we would soon have to shut down the patent office, because everything would soon be invented.
sometimes I keep thinking that we have invented everything, then I come to slashdot to find something new and great that has been invented or shoot over to ted ( ted.org ) to gather more insight on what little I know
That would give away that there is someone listening. what you are trying to do is stay under the radar and peek inside the line, not disrupt the line.
while I am sure that you are correct. The advantage of this is that there is most likely a very interesting tracking device and at the right time, the codes for that tracking device will be sold ( or exchanged for a favor ) and the weapon can be dealt with.
again this is a simple idea, but I would not be surprised that this part of the play.
( using the results of diplomacy during 9/11, I recall an ambassador saying "while we feel for the pain and suffering for this incident, we will extract special concessions from the USA if they want our services )

well i did look at the study... it's data is about mothers within a certain range of a highway that give birth.
the correlation that it generates is that you should not live near a highway if you are pregnant because of some risk factors which might be Autism.
if the data is right or wrong is another story...
this kinda reminds me of the powerline near your home equal cancer issues.

using this as my source http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100330/1132478790.shtml for how many filed suits
20000 cases would be the base number of the business plan.
5% = 1000 copies sold.
or about 20K in revenue
not a bad business model.
I wonder if he has an affiliate network ....
Side note:
looking at USCG, their model highly profitable, no wonder they are doing whatever it takes to put this guy out of business

Tugboats: funny thing is that can pull or push depending on the needs
Most river tug's are barge pushers
most harbor tugs push vessels, the only time I see that not true on the Hudson river is when it's a fuel barge that is empty.
ocean going tug's pull a vessel
from what little I know, a tug boat is very good at pushing because of the prop design and control
A pulling a vessel does not have that much control.
some newer designed tugs are amazing, they can turn on a dime with amazing amounts of force to applied.
>>2: Gravy-fried buns.
YES I want that
