Well, the graffiti is solved like this: No only make it OK to draw stuff on your walls. Make it a contest. Only the best ones get to stay. A bad one is free to be overdrawn. If you get the game right, you create a couple of good artists in the process. The same thing works for fights: Make it a contest! boys like to fight. It’s healthy and in their nature. Stopping it makes as little sense as stopping puppies from fighting with each other. It’s better to accept it, and lead it in the right direction trough a reward system. A professional game designer will have no trouble making it fun for everyone.
I know that Whiskas did, and most likely still does that, with their cat “food”. There are substances that are and look harmless to us, but are addictive to carnivores like cats. That’s why cars behave so weirdly when having come in contact with industrial (e.g. canned) cat “food”.
I recommend the simple and obvious natural diet for your cat: Mice, birds, maybe an insect here or there, some grass for digestion, water, that’s nearly it. What”s left comes from your cat running around in the wilderness. (Yes, if (s)he is your cat, (s)he will come back. Ours always did.)
You’re not the only one. Two friends of mine had the same experience. Little to no short carbohydrates (long ones are ok), no denatured (=heated) animal proteins, and not only did they eat lots of vegetables, fruits and nuts, but literally shitloads of fat. They had no compunction drinking olive oil straight from the bottle! (Well, I thought that was disgusting and wouldn’t go that far. But it’s obviously not something disgusting per se.)
They lost more weight than they could compensate with eating and body building.
Another thing that most people forget, is that short carbohydrates deprive the body of B vitamins, which usually come with the carbohydrates when it’s wholemeal. So you get a vitamin B deficiency. One result, other than that it’s obviously bad for your whole body, is that your brain essentially needs them. So in essence, those sugars also make you dumb. Which perhaps explains why people seem to get dumber and dumber. And after being processed, you got loads of energy in your blood stream in a matter of minutes, but your cells can never need that much that quickly. So since the sugars damage your blood vessels, they must be moved out, transformed into fat, and stored in your fat cells for later. But then, your stomach is empty, and your blood too. So after another couple of minutes, there in no energy left for any further actions. This is a problem, since your body does not like giving up his fat cells. If you can get food without your body doing that work, it prefers that. So... you get hungry again. Perhaps even worse than before. It’s a vicious cycle that may remind you of something... *nudge*nudge* drug addiction *nudge*nudge*
Of course the obvious fix would be, is to go hungry long enough, to use the energy up... if you can... haha. But now the worst thing: That wouldn’t even use up any fat cells for the first two weeks. Since your body switches to an emergency metabolism, where it takes the energy out of essential organs, like your heart muscle, liver, etc. Can you already smell the danger of getting sick with such a weakened body? No B vitamins, all organs are weak, everything is out of balance... It’s every microbe’s wet dream.
Luckily, if you just stop eating that stuff, and eat like you and like my two friends did, you can easily beat it. With no hunger at all. It will take a bit longer. But it will definitely feel a lot better. One of them described it “like being new-born“. Oh, and as a nice side-effect, because of not eating heated (=defective) proteins, he lost his summer asthma.
If I wouldn’t have seen it myself, I would still not believe it.:)
By your argument, how then is anyone ever to be compensated for work that is anything other than physical labor?
A good question. Thanks that you asked. I answered this right after realizing the above, of course:
If you want compensation for your information, demand it in exchange for passing it on for the first time. Simple as that. But if you didn’t, then quit bitching, cause now it’s too late.:)
The thing is: That first receiver of your information can be an entire group. Or a single person. (In which case it would be exactly like with a producer.) And those receivers have the right to do with it, whatever they like. Including asking money from tertiary receivers in exchange for passing it on further. Which will be a motivation not to pass it on for free, unless they really want to make it a gift.
The greatest thing about the whole concept is, that it has no problem at all, coexisting with the current situation, to slowly replace it. We don’t need to change any law. There is no need to get millions of people off their asses. You can start with it right now. All by yourself. Without having to depend on anything else.
In fact I developed a business model based on it, and am going to try it soon.
Interestingly, some markets for information already work that way. Especially those that are not under any law. Like industrial espionage, and espionage in general.
While we are on the topic, what exactly is wrong with a war for oil?
Because parts of my family died in your (Soviets,Americans,etc) stupid childish wars, you stupid insensitive dick! Can you explain to the rest of my family, how it’s OK that they died for your greed for pointless consumption? You can be happy that ’m not generalizing your attitude to all Americans, and know that it’s just a hand full of dicks that run the country or are ignorant cattle, that give the whole country a bad name. But how are you (you personally!) surprised that we hate you (again, you personally), and that some less intelligent people generalize it?
I have an idea: The intelligent Afghans come to America and we team up, to send dicks like you to your equals, the Taliban. And then we bomb the shit out of you, for a change? ^^
Afghanistan has vast mineral resources. But you’re partially right. The real reason is, that Afghanistan lies in one of the strategically most important areas of the world.
It is the only country in the world with borders to the ex Soviet Union, China, Pakistan, Iran and Iraq. The meaning of this should be obvious. It shouldn’t even be called a country at all, with its diverse tribes and influences. Imagine all those countries had borders to each other, and you would put a blender right in the 5-country border in the middle. The result would be Afghanistan.
In practice, this meant, that during the cold war, the Soviet Union of course wanted that area. But the US didn’t want it. So the cold war got very hot. But the USA were wise back then. They knew that you can’t win a war in that area. Ever. That’s why the tribes still battled themselves to this day. So they sent ammunition and weapons to the Afghans. Who of course happily accepted. It was a “win-win”. Except that the only ones dying were the Afghans. (Two of my uncles died in it, and probably 3 were tortured, so I know very well what I’m talking about.)
Of course the Soviets failed to conquer the country. And Kharzai was pro-US, while the Soviet Union broke apart. All was good for the USA. Except that now, the Afghans hat shitloads of weapons and a population of which all the young had not ever seen anything else, except war. You can guess what that resulted in. The mental psychological fallout turned some to religious extremism. An easy thing to exploit. Some used it, and gained political power over Afghanistan, by opposing the cruel dictatory pro-US Kharzai. Back then, the Taliban were seen as the less bad choice in the face of his crimes.
Now something had to be done, to gain back power. So the USA used their own man, Bin Laden, and the attack of 9/11 as an excuse (no idea how much of it was planned, so I don’t judge here), as a reason to go to Afghanistan. Completely forgetting, that you can not ever win there. (As they said themselves, some decades earlier.)
And now they struggle in the same way as the Soviet Union did. I would’n be surprised at all, if the SU would fuel the Taliban, just so they could see the US fail in the same way, for shits and giggles.;) Fact is that the US will also walk out of Afghanistan without winning. That’s no shame. That’s just how it always was, is, and always will be, I guess.
We should just declare it a uninhabited wasteland, and let the people move away. That would be better for everyone.
There is no such thing as buying a movie... unless maybe if you are the producer. Since you only get a license for limited use.
But even if you could freely use it, there still is no such thing as ownership of information. Because ownership is defined as having certain abilities, like control over it. Which for information, is only possible, if it has never left your mind. But then you can also not prove its existence. As soon as you let it out, you just split control with whoever received it.
Which means that it’s absurd to speak of “ownership”, when talking about information. Information is free. Period. And just like with gravity, there is nothing, anyone can do about it.
My grandmother told me, that when the Nazis took over Luxemburg (our country), there were people who collaborated with the Nazis. They were called “Gielemännchen“ (yellow mankins), and often wore yellow rain coats. Everyone hated them.
Wanna know what happened to them when the Nazis were gone? They were brutally killed by the villagers. Every single one of them. Often in cruel ways and with blunt objects.
So beware, if you dare to collaborate with the enemy. Cause they might not be there, when we come for you later.
Well, as KDE and Gnome are even further down the imitation chain than MS, it will certainly “please” you, that we will soon see GBob and KBob, presented as the latest and greatest from their teams. ^^

I still can’t find one...)

You mean the WINDOWS approach. You know that MS started that “trend”, and that we all hated it, back then? We still do, for the same reasons.
Also, software doesn’t go stale, so your “argument” is false. If there is nothing to change, because it is fine as it is, and nobody finds bugs despite searching for them, would you stop using a program, just because it’s older??
The reason MS introduced date version numbers, was to HIDE that actually not much changed, and that a update wasn’t worth at all. Because their incomes depended on us buying yet another “new” version. Now they went back to version numbers.
The really sad thing is, that the open source desktop groups imitate every little completely retarded change from MS (who itself imitate(d|s) Apple, Xerox and others). But cares, to make it that little bit worse and more annoying. KDE is a perfect example. The Kicker menu, the file browser, etc. You could put a Windows skin on it, rename the menu entries, and you would only know the difference to Windows by which one is more annoying. (Dolphin even still imitates things that MS did in Windows 95, like the single-click interface, and that they realized was a horrible idea, a bit later.) I wish they would grow some balls, stop using the “newbie” excuse, and show that they can lead the way into something better, instead of guaranteeing to never ever surpass MS, by just imitating every crappy thing from them as a self-enforced eternal bridesmate.
Of course you set records, when most of your CPU actually sits in your north bridge. Yes. That thing with the large heat sink and fan, is the north bridge. Not the CPU. The CPU is that smaller chip that you thought were the NB.
It’s a fraud. Nothing else. A trick to hide their failure to get even in the same magnitude as ARM.
