>>By that logic, I could let Kingston/Rambus/(whoever) make memory, figure out the tech for it (do all the work)...and go buy a stick of memory (or steal it/whatever) and say "this is my memory company now".
That is horseshit. Whomever designed the memory would have registered a patent. Anyone else copying that desing would have to pay royalty's.
People who want to register parts of the human genome need to be able to patent stuff they work out as otherwise some nobhead like you can come alogn and walk off with the research. If there's no profit in it, the research won't get done.
This got me thinking - I know there's a small movement for allowing all drugs into sport - I'm thinking though lets only allow performance-*decreasing* drugs in...
Anyone seen that shot-glass chess set - each time you take a piece, down a whiskey - would *love* to see chess masters at that - reckon it would even up chess masters with mere mortals who've actually drank before...
I may be being a bit dim here, but you don't get 'debt' transactions from casinos, or casino sites for that matter.
You go on, you put 50 quid in your account. You bet 50 quid. If you lose, you now have 0 in your account. If you win, you have 50+x in your account. You can then draw out this money.
I'd stick with what my company does:
Any training theu pay for but you do in YOUR time - you get rewarded for passing.
Any required training i.e. in specific technologies is done in work time, but stuff like Java certification, in my opinion, is for yourself and you should invest your time in it.
1. I use Windows, I hate Linux, ha ha shut up Linux suckers.
2. Hee hee, isn't 'Zero Knowledge' a funny name for a company - bet I could cleverly use that in a comment somehow - hmmm, wonder if anyone else has thought of this.
I'm looking at this two ways:
1) Either the aliens are gonna be friendly, and we really shouldn't be insulting them by sending out the DNA of people here dumb enough to sheel out 50 spods to do said thing.
or
2) The aliens are evil people who will, from examining the DNA will assume we're all either Jerry hicks or skinny tech spods and will thus send a totally unprepared force of Mr Muscle (UK reference) types to sort us out.
Any thoughts?

Surely sprinting could be done, over the phone, with someone running for you...
"left, right, left, right, left, left oh, sorry mate"!

I can see the TV audiences for the 'mental olympics' being HUGE!
that would actually benefit the chess player? Apart from ones that actually make chess *interesting* of course...
FP?
