I have to say.... I instantly love you!:D On first post.;)
Now the question is, who looks less geeky. I'm half afghani, half luxemburgish, have a light brown tan, do not live in a basement, and actually date girls. Gooooood luck!:P
Unfortunately, my brother thinks, that as long as you can copy it, then why would you buy it at all? It goes without saying, that his views to not fit with mine. Somehow he does not "get" the morality that is involved in being motivated to not hurt the developer if he's nice to you too.
And strangely, he's a media industry manager, who does not get why DRM is so evil, too.
Somehow, my theory is, that both sides, the one hurting the developer, and the one hurting the consumer, are two sides of the same character. The type that does not trust people and thinks there is nothing else out there than a dog-eat-dog world, so if others fuck you anyway, and everybody can expect it, then he can act that way too.
The best thing is, that I even know the reason for this. His life was unfair and sometimes even horrible. And so was mine. I still do not trust many people. But I could never stand someone good being hurt, because I saw it happening to my own brother.
So if you want to stop the **AA and those type of guys, just make the world a bit better, be nice to others and your kids, and hope that they end up defaulting to being good. (Oh, and wait one or two generations.;) (I know it's not realistic in the short run, but does it result in anything not good, to try it anyway?)
Hey, I'm sorry, but I have to tell you, that there is no such thing as objectivity. What you meant, was that it fits your own personal world view of what is fair and right. In other words: You said "I agree, and I want more people to agree with me."
This is perfectly valid, because everyone exists to spread his genes and views (the two methods of reproduction), and I with you good luck with it, as long as it does not hurt my reproduction. But don't lie to you and to others by acting, as if this had anything to do with objectivity.
Please don't feel offended. I got this mixed up too, until some time ago. I thought there were some absolute "right" and "wrong" and "true" values. The closest thing to this are physics laws and mathematics. But hey, in reality, what meaning does the number "3" or the word "gravity" have, if there is nobody (by definition with his own point of view) defining it? What is the definition of reality? Maybe the only thing we all can agree on, is that everything in this universe/reality, whatever it is, is relative.
Hell, you could *simulate* an x86_64 CPU on that thing, and it would not even hiccup on Crysis on Vista with every setting set to "Extreme". I wonder if someone could replace the engine by a full global illumination raytracer first.:D
And yet, is is still pop... another word for "the crap that the common retard likes".;) Maybe the 60s are the only time, when "pop" could be called "underground" music. Unfortunately, it did not stay that way.
Oh, and in my personal taste, the music of the 60s was just horrible. But that's my POV.;)
My father (Afghani) had 13 siblings. Two of them died. And they were rich down there. (Before the Russians and Americans came to fight each other.)
On the other hand, a good friend of mine, born and raised here in Germany, was the only child of her parents, which is even above average according to statistics (0.8 children per family).
But somehow, I fail to see the relation to my comment.:)
The problem is, that if you're not a bank, there is no such thing as generating value (out of thin air). In the end, every product is just the result of material plus work, plus more material, plus more work, and so on. The pixel of the dot this letter "I" here, somewhere down the production line, was just stuff digged up from the earth, that got transformed by processed (eg. lifeforms). And I mean the real display pixel, and the virtual information, existing as energy in the real world.
I still agree that they are somewhat like parasites. But if it's a successful evolutionary model, and in 500 years Nigeria's scammers' children take over the world because they could feed them and buy stuff, then they won anyway.;9 Now we will see if they destroy themselves too in the process. But I guess they just do something else then.
We, of course work for ourselves. Because in the end we're just expanding biomass, fighting for resources.
So we should sterilize everyone who is not useful in some way to expand *our* biomass. But nowadays nearly everyone is useful, or we can't harm him.
Ok, I admit to having a very evil world view to those who preach that you should help others. But if my genes win... am I right anyway? Of course, those who lost will say that I am wrong, because they wanted to win.;)
I could endlessly discuss this topic, but I stop now, let you come to your own conclusions, and apologize for this way too long post.;)
but I don't understand why so many people are surprised to find out that the DDC is a piece of IP like any other.
Maybe it's because there is no such thing as intellectual property! Just because the people (trough the state) grant you a right to be the only one to earn cash from something for some years, this does not mean that you can actually own thoughts.
The only thoughts you can keep just for you, are the one that you keep just for you. If you talk about them or spread your ideas otherwise, they are in the public domain, and in the brains of others. By your theory, it's now their IP too (because their intellect has the information). If it's in the public domain, it stays there. Live with it.
It's a sad day, when even Slashdot is infected by the brainwashing disinformation of the media industry and similar douchebags.
Yeah, well... and what if they have no authority to connect you to someone who has the authority? That's why I hate the Postbank in Germany. They do not even have phone numbers for their branches.
Oh, and the fact that they forged my signature (No joke! I still have proof.) does not make it any better...
... but religion is just a delusion (actually a schizophrenia) that got so widespread, that they could create a special law/rule for it. This does not mean that it isn't still a disease.
The same is true for these people.
Of course on mind control, one could actually check the facts, before calling it a disease.;)
How is this offtopic? It's a good question, and worth an answer. Any Indian here to help? After all, it's bad enough that the whole world starts writing Brasil with z, and Deutschland "Germany" and so on, just because nobody cared for the actual name in the actual original language.
Hmm... so replacing them with robots is actually a good thing. Like freeing them from slavery...:) Man, if only I could get five of them to learn to program. I could pay them high wages (for their country), then sell the programs at a hundred times that price, and then pay them really fuckin' high wages, and still make a good profit. Then others would want to learn that too, and soon I would get the peace Nobel price, a really good conscience and a pool full of money.
What's the problem? HTML... a picture... a video... a flash file... they are all just files. HTTP request. HTTP response. Data payload. File handling. Finito. Or is it because your client is a piece of shit?:P
Nah. I want them to helplessly struggle to find the reason nobody buys their shit, wasting all their money to fight those windmills, and to drown in the process.
Yes, maybe I'm cruel. But I think, there's only so much I as a customer can take, until I let them burn like this. (Think of lava to fit the burning metaphor with the drowning metaphor.;)

Oh. And I may have misunderstood you. But I'm still right. Sorry to break it for you...
Why is she actively disturbing evolution?
I think it's a good thing to take resources from the stupid, and give it to the smart. And that's what's happening. Even if you do not like it. :)
Well. English is my third language out of four, and Jon Steward says "douchbag" or "douche" all the time. So your 80s argument is worthless.
Does that involve the ban of any reproduction for them? :)
If not, it's worthless.
but I don't understand why so many people are surprised to find out that the DDC is a piece of IP like any other.
Maybe it's because there is no such thing as intellectual property!

Man, you destroyed a perfectly good change to pull a "you insensitive clod" joke!
Kids these days...
Yeah, well... and what if they have no authority to connect you to someone who has the authority?
That's why I hate the Postbank in Germany. They do not even have phone numbers for their branches.

Nooo... She was called Eve.
Eeeeevvveeeeee... :P
Everybody knows we taste like pigs. That's why in the language of some cannibals, the name for that kind of meat was "long pig".
I guess Homer Simpson was not so wrong after all. :P
About the more advanced technology.... Mmmmmhhh... long pig....! ;)
Oohh... this reminds me of Wall-E... :(
So sad...
Waaaall....Eeeeeeee... :'(
Yeah, but I invented it an my secret lab in my evil underground lair, and you stole it, patented it and sued me.
So prepare to get sued by Halliburton for it! Oh, and if you live in another country with some resources... prepare to get invaded. :P
Hmm... so replacing them with robots is actually a good thing. Like freeing them from slavery... :)

So... you wish to die? Or are you just into a robot hunting and crushing fetish? ;)
Nah. I want them to helplessly struggle to find the reason nobody buys their shit, wasting all their money to fight those windmills, and to drown in the process.
Yes, maybe I'm cruel. But I think, there's only so much I as a customer can take, until I let them burn like this. (Think of lava to fit the burning metaphor with the drowning metaphor. ;)
