To think of it... DNA Lounge has too many unused time every week.
I should propose jwz to sell tickets to him saying his "Linux is only free if your time is worthless" line from the stage three times over the night, and nothing else happening in the club. The floor and upper level will be packed with people who use Linux for all their work. I will bring my camera.
Debt is caused by money. If you did not notice, all money currently in circulation ARE in a form of debt. What is really, really stupid, but this is a separate issue.
will only cause inflation to the poit that basic income be it 1000 $ per month or 100x that will be small potatoes..
Even if it was som it would be a great way of getting rid of debt as a fake driver of economic system. Once no one tries to obtain power through messing with debt, things will go back to sane system, where money are primarily a medium of exchange, and production of useful goods and services is the most common activity in the society.
Of course, people like you will kill themselves. Good riddance.
Most of "economics" you know is just propaganda of the economic system you are familiar with. Total self-serving bullshit.
As for garbage collectors, indeed, there is no good reason for a human to do that job. There are, however, many, many people who would love to work on the development of automated garbage processing machinery, that would be far better at doing that work than desperate poor people who do it at the threat of starvation.
That name is already used for regular PCs with a case designed for carrying. Think Osborn or IBM Portable PC. Modern Luggables usually encorporate ATX boards or at least allow the use of Desktop Cards, RAID, etc...
You are an idiot. There are things other than a threat of a crowd of rednecks with guns throwing themselves by the thousands at the tanks, for governments to worry about.
Please use your guns in a way that benefits your fellow humans the most -- kill all your friends, then yourself.
The trick to successfully removing dictators and tyrants is to continue doing it.
You will run out of people.
There are no "dictators". All governments are, this way or another, are dependent on the people they govern, so it's not possible to "dictate" someone's will to a population that completely and entirely opposes it. It'd a myth. Bullshit. One may argue how much any given form of the government allows or prevents some part of population to influence government. Some forms will come out pretty bad -- countries with ethnicity or religious sect in disproportional control of the government would be among those, and that covers all Middle East, and will for the foreseeable future. So will North Korea with its small ruling party. So will any country under significant influence of former colonial power. "Democracy", as practiced in US, would be also among those bottom ones, as US government's ideology promotes interests of large businesses, and a very small fraction of US population runs large businesses.
There are politicians US supports and politicians US does not support. The latters are called "dictators" by the media that subscribes to US government's ideology.
It is not extortion if Nikon considers the Microsoft patents valid and a useful addition to their portfolio.
There would be a remote possibility of this being valid, if Nikon knew what those patents are in the first place. There is no evidence of that, and Microsoft is known to refuse to reveal the list of patents before, when insisting on such "agreements".
This is the argument the geek cannot accept.
Let me inform you that geeks are intellectually superior to you and everyone you know. By the virtue of being intellectuals (what "geek" really means), and you not being one.
If the only people who diss my code are those who believe that Bill Gates is anything but a self-absorbed psychopath, I am certainly doing something right.
...and was in a rather bad financial situation for that, too, due to the lack of preparedness. Guess what kind of companies I did not apply to? The kind that post this kind of crap.
The amount of evil that he did, can not be undone by the whole population of Earth in half a century -- and only by virtue of forgetting his crap while people like me develop new technology.
What he does now, can be done by one office worker 1 hour a week -- and much better, too. All he does is distributing money that he and his foundation should've not be allowed to touch in the first place.
Capitalism is bad by design, it doesn't have to be broken or corrupt to keep everyone but tiny minority poor. In fact, someone (such as European government) has to constantly and severely keep breaking it, to keep it from slipping into what US has.
Socialism, on the other hand, by design promotes equality and universal access to abundant wealth. Obviously it only works when wealth is abundant (ex: 60's-80's USSR, not North Korea), however it actually is supposed to be that way, and corruption converts it to something that could approach (European-diluted form of) Capitalism.

No, those are just Judoon in disguise.
Please tell us, what exactly are your "requirements", and let us judge how much full of shit you are.

He may be broke, but he has to mooch from someone to support his life. Most people, no matter how rich or poor, are not in a position to do so.

A 17" laptop isn't a "luggable".
Oh yes, it is!
That name is already used for regular PCs with a case designed for carrying. Think Osborn or IBM Portable PC. Modern Luggables usually encorporate ATX boards or at least allow the use of Desktop Cards, RAID, etc...
Here's an example...

There is a difference?
Get a 16:12 one. They're hard to get these days, but the usability is so much better that they're worth it even if you had to pay twice the cost.
So THIS is how they call 4:3 now...
Nonsense. Defining the weight limit for a laptop is above your pay grade.
17 is quite nice for a laptop, even when most people use them as table tops most of the time.
The term I used for those things is "luggable", and it should be used more often now.

No.
Lousy bomb makers are trying to rip us off. When I pay for a kiloton bomb, I expect 1024 tons....
Oh, that's still a ripoff. I expected 1.0E6 kg * 3.0E8 m/s * 3.0E8 m/s = 9.0E22 J
Hey, you know what?
Fuck you and your Microsoft propaganda.
If the only people who diss my code are those who believe that Bill Gates is anything but a self-absorbed psychopath, I am certainly doing something right.
We actually sell these things
To Wal-Mart.
That market is gone. Never should've existed in the first place, as wifi barcode reader is the most that could be justified for that purpose.
...and was in a rather bad financial situation for that, too, due to the lack of preparedness. Guess what kind of companies I did not apply to? The kind that post this kind of crap.

Windows CE didn't fail. It is all over industrial handheld devices (barcode scanners mainly, but also embedded computers).
No. It's a system that was pushed into applications that should've not existed in the first place.
I have yet to see a multitude of Android / Windows Phone devices. There are some, but the large majority is Windows CE5.
That's because you work stocking shelves at Wal-Mart.
He's doing amazing things with his fortune since then.
Throwing money at the crowds of poor people is not "amazing", and this is what all "charity" of the rich always amounted to.
