when you can copy entire objects, how do you prevent someone from duplicating smartcards? oh, of course, ban research on nanotechnology because it encourages the breaking of the law(DMCA anyone?)! we're just seeing the last desperate moves of modern day dinosaurs.
anybody heard this song from papa roach? yeah...big label band and might even be a payola song, but just listen to the lyrics. might as well be the anthem for this system.

oh ya. what's strange is how hard it is to get hex mantissa and exponent from computer floats--even though it's easier and less error prone than doing decimal conversion. i wrote the only hex-native floating point calculator i know of (it's a java applet). oh and if anybody downmods this, may you get run over by a large truck.:)
you can take out quite a few lawyers with a few of those. throw in some politicians too. someday 1's and 0's will be free--things will be tons simpler. no workarounds, no licenses, no cd-keys. the revolution may be gradual, or quick and violent. either way...load up your gun and think of a better future.

of course...after TSHTF and it's TEOTWAWKI, you'll care a lot more about your weapon than your music. lemme tell ya, you didn't miss anything by not listening to "destiny's child". the only cd i've bought in years is "infest" by papa roach...big label ya, but the song "between angels and insects" makes it worth it, heh. i think you hit on something important--when we finally can listen to whatever stream of bits we want to, we'll be evolved enough to not want to listen to britney spears clones.
anyway, are you married? thus, do you have someone to share your worldview with? do you have kids? you can attempt to keep them away from that stuff.
i'd say anarchy is the opposite of communism, but they keep getting mixed up. in anarchy, there's no antitrust law to break up microsoft, because there ARE no laws. everything is entropy, as physics intended!
why am i ignored when i am the true prophet? i'm predicting things like the end of money, the rise of the intelligent, and the end of regular use of decimal, yet i'm ignored. and people like this are listened to...people in their ivory towers at universities. well in the future there won't be any universities. and they won't have any power with their "phd" or "mba". that will just be paper on the wall.
ok, so it costs $500 million to send a probe to mars. that's a fraction of the cost of keeping old people alive. money is just a big illusion. this is what it costs: a lot of fuel and a lot of metal. something the earth has plenty of. if you look beyond the seething masses, you'll see money is just a distraction. all that matters is physics, and what's out there.
of course visionaries like me will just be ignored or modded down. ask galileo how intelligent people who don't think with the crowd are treated.
i'd rather type dvorak on a laptop than QWERTY on a natural keyboard. been using it for 0xA years now. until we get direct brain interfaces, dvorak is a pretty good way to input text. now why do you not see dvorak keyboards anywhere (like on pdas)? same reason we don't move over to hexadecimal. people afraid of change.
what's this have to do with a phone? probably some sf story i guess. but i'm not talking about fiction. this could happen, and life would be so different.
what's with that stupid link about physics? geez, it distracts from your message. and you go on and on about orwellian this and that. whatever. hey i agree with your ideas but your presentation is a bit off. oh well, better cooky then nobody.
nerds are much more powerful than morons like ricky martin, oprah, or alex rodriguez. while idiots watch movies and sports, nerds should be plotting to rule the world. subjugate or better elminate those who live in a world of style and make the whole world logical. intelligence will always be more powerful than style or muscle.
um...interesting. you might wanna look at lojban (www.lojban.org). i worked on language parsing on the side for a bit and realized how foobar english is.
um, as i asked the other guy, as you a single male? actually, are you a single heterosexual male? i'm only curious in that it seems many visionaries are. and you do seem visionary.
so you are a single male, then? it has to do with most visionaries seem to be single males.
going into debt has nothing to do with money being worthless. that's just how economics work. it's paradoxes of limitless information resources that will drive it away.
what about using hexadecimal in biology?

why don't they use hexadecimal floating point for their statistics? whoever thinks hexadecimal is superior to decimal, don't reply to this. so i'll know slashdotters views'.
one question...if you're tracking this. are you a single male?
anyway's, this is one possible scenario. i'm still constantly amazed that the money system remains even while amazing amounts of work are either makework by governments or rote activities to feed the money system that businesses do. the upheaval should be occuring now, but people can be so dense to change.

teach them binary, and hexadecimal. thinking logically is what computers are about...and you don't need a computer to work on that.
