I make my money by being internet savvy. 200$ would save me 600$ worth of time. But I live in the styx... Actually been thinking of relocating just so I can get cable modem, 4 computers and start a buisness selling computers + internet contract work...

Microsoft is a monopoly in the software industry. Microsoft doesn't care what software its selling, as long as its selling software... That being said, its ultimate goal would be to sell all software known to man. It strives towards this goal by heavyhanded competition.
The little guys on the otherhand want to make specific products for different sectors of the market. If the little guy fails, or doesn't succeed in capturing a sizable sector of the market, then M$ dismisses them... But if a little guy is starting to roll into a big market that M$ couldn't see, then M$ will push hundreds of coders and millions into the market.
The competition between someone just starting up and a little guy is not fair.
One may think that this accelerates growth because the little guy would have taken longer to get into the market... But the truth of the matter is that M$ will almost never develop on the software again once there is no competition.
I figured... Hey I'm smart, but no one listens to me... I have a 70,000$ debt and I hate going to a school where there aren't any females, let alone attractive ones (CMU).
So I said fuck it all, I'm doing karate again. Anyone under 30 can get to the state Bruce Lee got to if you just put forth determination... But then again throwing out computers so early doesn't have determination... Or do you just see it as another way the corporations hold you down.
Well I'm no longer keeping CS as a hobby + school... In all of it, I didn't even need CMU to tell me how to work a computer, I knew most of what they taught me already. Almost could say its a waste of time and money topped off with suffering.
I think the way to do it is to say fuck keeping whatever you do in school as a hobby. Do school do what the lame professor wants you to, get good grades, and do what you want with your life outside of it.
Well anyway I'm getting into martial arts so people see my determination... Yeah I do computers because I want to cure diseases, but I'm not going to enhance my mind and let my body go to shit. I want my body to also be an icon to what I know. You can't let depression take you down, you can't let another person judge you. Well thats how I see it, I have so much debt that money is meaningless to me because I can't lead a normal life with it... So I am leading the best life I can under repressed times, and its actually suprising the cyclical effect that a healthy body has on your mind. Much better than a downward spiral.
The key is saying"Fuck the normal person for not understanding." Fuck them for getting set in their jobs with their understanding of money... They may judge your fanatical approach to self betterment as something out of the norm, but they with their weaker mind(sorry but white trash who can't grasp algebra generally don't have worlds in their mind. I don't normally trash others) Why let them judge you when they can't understand you.
Fuck em all, show the world your dedication, and your time will come.
I'm stealing everyone's jewels that I can... Maybe the crown jewels... have the lil bugs crawl in undetected, cut holes in glass, and then crawl out with the goods.

I remember making a dos MMORPG back in 1992, and hearing that they're porting out DOS, and that DOS gets no Winsock support, and then when there was winsock support, windows switched to 2.0 which is extra convoluted...
Dos may only have a black screen, but Dos never blue screens...
Dos was solid, you could know all the commands there are to know in Dos. But when windows came out there was tons of functionality and no documentation... Almost dileberately so armchair dos programmers couldn't get in the game. I mean it took me 10 years and I only am starting to get the hang of Visual C++ vs DJGPP.
I like windows and all, but the phase out of DOS means I'll never be able to commercially release my game even if I wanted to put work into it. I remember vividly when I tried to work on my game at school, but they ported to NT so my code no longer worked, and late night warcraft sessions didn't work either.
As long as Microsoft can keep technology moving, they can keep it so obscured that no mere mortal can keep up.
Bleh, I've given up legitamate program coding, and moved on to 3rd party hackathon! By hacking some other jerkwad corporation's software, you can compete without wrestling with unsightly overhead of trade secrets.
Don't try and make something new Microsoft will just see it and crush you, but if M$ does something new, then latch on and suck all the blood you can from them. What's M$ gonna do? Sue an intelligent, out of work scientist? Maybe... But what happens if all the intelligent out of work scientists are jumping on M$'s back for a ride? Climb up on, there's money to be had in hacks:)
By monitoring everyone's conversation, you can do sneaky things like finding people's weaknesses which you can use to have sex with lots of people... thats the only reason I can see evesdropping on people would be to see dirty secrets and blackmail people for money off the job through friends.
Stuff thats less than flat... Like carpet has a ton of little hills or those fibers coming out of it. I just assumed that when another object rested on the floor, that some interlocking between the hills/valleys of each objet occured. When you pushed the object on top of the floor, a bit of force is needed to get up out of the interlocked state, but once you're moving, kinetic energy keeps you from falling into a deeply interlocked hill/valley state.
Kinda like when you're driving your car. If you hit a really deep pothole right, your tire may not fall the whole way in...But if you park your car, and the tire falls in, it will become more locked... Bad analogy, but thats how I always assumed it worked.
Rich ass fucks own the world. 320 families own like 90% of the world. Mainly they just want to control people to get their own ends.
Rich corporations lobby congress the best, with brainwashing rhetoric and lots of money.
See if innocents didn't die in the bombing, and all the suicide bombers got were rich fucks like Donald Trump, then I'd see it as a happy occasion.
But really it set the world back monetarily a few months, and socially maybe a few decades... Just when we were on the brink of a capitalistic revolution with Microsoft case being the iceberg...
I knew what the net was going to look like in 1990, and ruined 10 good years of social life trying to make the first MMORPG... My other two ideas for money was Instant messages or an auction site.
Now we're REALLY close to AI. About 100,000 man hours away. Or less if we use already known components.
Just 2 things are needed: 3d robotic imagination, and sensory devices to interpret the world.
If the robot can understand the world, then it can use a game playing algorithm to make the best method of achieving a goal via subgoals....
And for natural language understanding, just picture old school Zork. If it doesn't understand what you're saying, it will either guess in context, or ask you flat out what you mean.
Then you finally can get computers to read books etc. The difference between a robot and a human are the top level goals. Humans are controlled by pleasure and pain chemicals: drugs, learning, sweets, sex, moving, sports. Robots will need the top level goals given by humans, so robots can be used as slaves. "Hey robot go shovel the snow out of my driveway."

I can TOTALLY code this from start to finish, but it would take me like 20 years. If someone gave me a 3d engine, I could probably get it done in 5-10... But if I had smart people working with me, its no more than a 2 year task.
Once you have strong AI that simulates a human(will be here within 5 years if I have to code it myself)... Instead of forcing it to obey humans for its goals, you could give it different "pleasure" responses for different goals, and if its giving a status report on how well its achieving the goals, it could act in all sorts of weird ways.
A human has a soul by telling you it does, and seeming human so you believe it...
Since a computer has no soul, but it tells you it does, and it seems human so you believe it...
Wait, what does this have to say about human's souls? Especially for the track record of superstition of souls being wrong 100% of the time when under the microscope of science.
This shit is maddening to think about... I almost want to say that everyone is shit, and nothing better than a rock. It makes no sense for any religion out there.
Basically its using a 3d imaginary world, much like what you see in quake, but with real world laws... Kinda like your imagination... Objects in the world as you can guess are real objects in reality.
With the ability to have a 3d imagination, rules of what can be done and what can't, and basic language understanding which corresponds with its 3d mind... Then you have AI... Picture Zork, but when it says,"I don't understand the word X", for it to ask you, or use the context to guess the word.
I'm talking with some robotics professors at CMU and they really like what I have to say. Once I finish my talks there I'm probably going to get in touch with the guys from CYC and tell them maybe they want to add a 3d imagination so context can be formed.

I'm suprising some people at CMU with this idea...
Easy way to do this:
Picture the 3d space as its imagination.
And using a camera, it takes pictures of RL and represents it in its imagination.
Suddenly we have context... lots of good stuff goes with it... just a ton of work.
Sure the movie was good overall, it had alot of jump cuts, but it had an air to the cheesiness of comic books so its cool...
But Iron monkey, ROFLMAO, theres a preview for this supposedly kick ass martial artist, but his name is Iron Monkey HEHEHEH. Can you beat the monkey, or will he spank you?
This movie was damn good, last good movie I saw before it that had me laughing was Fight Club. Kevin Smith movies rock.
Instead I tried to learn everything about everything... I have a paper on real android like AI I'm emailing robotics people about now, so its likely I'm just a psychopath. I'm also writing a psychopathic book about science vs. religion for modern times... Focusing probably keeps a person more sane... A low GPA doesn't make for a very happy person... Even if you know alot... You're not getting the grades because you're trying to learn... Especially if you don't do work thats below you... one bad example is, "Professor, I've done this before, why should I spend 40 hours doing it again?"
If you're going to be making billions off selling your drug, you can spend millions researching it... This is what you guys are upset about. Loss of patents = loss of money so no one trys anymore...
Thats good, if you want to sell people drugs. If you want to maximize money coming in, you should sell them drugs they need to buy as often as possible...
Kinda like planed obsolecence... or when your mechanic breaks stuff in your car as he fixes it... Or like kiemotherapy, how it puts cancer in remission, but since you have radioactive dye, you'll be back in the hospital...
Where is the incentive for making a cure to AIDS, or cancer? If you make a cure, you put tens of thousands of people out of a job. Do you think the AIDS drug industry wants to find a cure? Research to cure diseases should be federally funded, not designed by the corrupt private sector.
Remember the thing that people would sell you air if they could restrict your access to it? Same thing is happening with researching drugs vs a cure.
Break all the patents, patents suck. We need a new way of looking of dealing with the wrongs of capitalism... Intellectual property or trade secrets, planned obsolecence, and competition that breeds evil... Definately need to be addressed.
