"Patrick I meant can I send you a compressor and several compressed files whose total file size is less than the original uncompressed file and from which I can regenerate the original uncompressed file
Mike Sure."
Actually, this would be entirely viable in court. Had Patrick had any desire to do so whatsoever, he could have collected. Further, depending upon several specifics HE could have pinned fraud charges on Mike.
Mike was an arrogant fool. It was quite laughable how he immediately threatened to sue upon seeing that Patrick had indeed, technically (all that matters) won.
There's nothing that I like more than seeing an arrogant bastard beat at his own game.
Wouldn't the best way be to simply launch a transport equiped with an abundance of highly durable photoelectric cells into orbit around the sun? Simply be sure that it emits a radio signal. It could last for thousands of years if necessary, and would not be subject to the problems brought about by shifts in government or economic catastrophies.
Or perhaps run off of interstellar hydrogen?
Either way, what are they going to do with them when they recover the ship in the 24th century? There will be no currency or television, and the Enterprise might not be able to make it to even a space station for several months.
Damn, I wonder if I could organize a mutiny against the bald-headed jerk in that amount of time?
This is absolute nonsense. Is time no more than a twisted tool, a cycle by which to OPPRESS THE OPPRESSED AGAIN AND AGAIN AT EVERY TURN?!
With what right do you claim it to be immoral, or ethically wrong of The People to stand strongly behind the notion that it is absolutely unacceptable that ideas can only be taken advantage of on a first-come first-serve basis?
To what higher authority do you make your appeals? What is acceptable and what is NOT will be determined BY The People, FOR The People. Law should NOT be held as holy. NO law that is not acceptable to The People, will be obeyed by the people. I TELL YOU THAT =WE= ARE THE PEOPLE, AND THIS IS NOT OUR LAW.
Those who have wealth have it for ONE reason alone: because THE PEOPLE CHOOSE to ALLOW them to keep it, AND FOR NO OTHER REASON.
I TELL YOU SURELY: WEALTH ALLOWED BY THE PURE GRACE OF THE PEOPLE CAN BE TAKEN BACK BY THE PEOPLE SHOULD THOSE THAT HAVE SWINDLED IT FROM US BEGIN TO =ABUSE US=.
Thank ALL that in this country we need NOT resort to violence as a first option, but if this continues, if the people become further opressed into the state of being allowed but one purpose to live: to serve YOU, that the steam must escape at some point, that you can only push us so far. PLEASE, DO NOT TAKE US FOR GRANTED.
That which we grant, is that which we can take away. Remember that, and peace will be with you my friends.
Excellent. We are almost there. Next time there is a war, it will be the first directive of the lucky dictator to put his scientists to work.
He will simply: extract a human brain and brain-stem, place them in the neccessary liquid(they need to survive long), CONNECT THE NERVES NECCESSARY TO CONTROL A SEMI-FUNCTIONAL EAR AND 5 TOGGLE-BUTTONS(FINGER-NERVES)ATTACHED TO TONE-GENERATING-DEVICES, THEN WATCH AS THE BRAIN CREATES MUSIC.
