Do you mean the “disgruntled employee who did never dare to stand up to his boss, and now thinks he’s stuck because he doesn’t have the balls to start his own, correctly done, thing”? ^^ And/or do you mean C coders who think they are so superior because they code their own custom memory management every single time, and have to pay attention to add checks to every single of their data structures, instead of solving the problem at its core by automating it like a real programmer would, by using Haskell (or at least Java)?
People will buy into what you think of yourself. And then react accordingly. Which then fulfills your prophecy that you are like that. Because everyone confirms it.
This is what creates the bullies, nerds, winners and losers in schools, companies, in all communities, and even on state/world level. The guy who is the most secure of himself, becomes what most people listen to and believe in. Hence they become leaders.
The problem is, that we all think this would be something unchangable. That we ourselves would be just how we are. So many people think they are losers. And they could change it... just like that. By deciding that they are what they want to be. Which makes them act accordingly, makes others react accordingly, and so on, until it becomes reality. I did that myself, and completely changed who I am.
But I’m drifting off. The thing is, that those leaders are so sure of their reality, that they can make themselves believe it is true and not a lie. They are trained experts in acting confident and secure. So everybody buys into it. Which is reason for becoming and the result of being a leader.
Remember to be aware of that wen around people. Know that you can play with it. If you play it right, the power structures will shift at your will, and you can act completely opposite to your actual thoughts and intentions. (If you want to.)
The reason is, that with EA games, you usually lose interest by the time the demo is over. So they though to themselves: Better get a little money, than none at all. Of course it won’t work, since it’s still too expensive for the value.
Valve did it right. Lower the prices by 75%, and you get so many buyers that you make MORE profit. In a couple of years Valve will be offered to buy them, but decline, when they get sold to some strange holding company.
Solar-thermic power plants? Helooohooo??;) Water, glass, steel, aluminium, desert wasteland, perhaps some ceramics, DONE! Cheap as shit, simple design, completely recyclable, out of the most abundant resources, and shitloads of free energy from the sun. If someone doesn’t like that, he’s not an activist, but mentally insane. ^^
If you want to use them at night, create liquid hydrogen or a similar clean fuel. With the amount of power that the sun delivers, it doesn’t matter much that that is a pretty inefficient process. Or use the electricity right on place, to produce something. Like aluminium. If one has a brain, there is a solution.
Actually, the case was "United States v. Microsoft", which means that it was the government of the United States of America coming down on his Billness for actively and maliciously going out of his way to screw up the market.
Exactly. Except that they settled with the “punishment” of MS giving “free Windows/Office” to schools all around the country. Which is absurd, as there is no worth in information/data that has already passed on to the whole world. And there certainly is no loss in there for MS. So they essentially turned a punishment because of too much power into a gain of even more power!
The only reason this worked like this, is that the government’s chief responsible for MS was himself an ex MS guy, and the government relations guy at MS was the one who did that job before him. They simply swapped places. Which is exactly what Monsanto, Haliburton and Eli Lily also do. Revolving doors.
And this was only one of a ton of such incidents. All of which resulted it more power and profit for MS. Only the EU kicked their asses hard, once, some time ago.
Glenn Beck was found dead in his room at the mental asylum, where he was taken on the evening before, because he tried to storm the White House with his assault rifle, clad in tin foil and tea party stickers. He hung himself after cutting off his penis, swallowing it whole and failing to suffocate in the process. The note that he left states that he thought that that was still better than what the government would force upon him by tomorrow.
I”m sorry, but physics disagree. There is no such thing as data ownership. Because data is not a physical object, like e.g. a chair. The container may be. But the data is not. If you want control over it, don’t pass it on. Simple as that. If you pass data on, you split control over it. Now it’s too late, so quit bitchin’. You can not ever guarantee control over data that is passed on. Even when you threaten with punishment.
The media reproduction industries tried that. And they failed again, and again, and again.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m absolutely for privacy! But why do you pass your private data on to untrustworthy people, and then expect them to handle it “properly”? ONLY pass on what you trust someone with. You know, like a good friend, that you tell something very private, because you know he won’t tell anybody. And still that won’t guarantee he won’t do it anyway, if you ever happen to start hating each other.
Things like this are, why I want to see social skills as a main subject in school. It has the same importance as English and math together! Oh, and of course one should learn the basic physics of bitspace. ^^
Uuum, I don’t want to sink your boat, but how can you steal, if everyone owns everything?;) (And well, you can’t steal movies at all, actually. It’s physically impossible.)
You’re thinking like an engineer. Think like a scientist! Completely remove your mailbox! ^^ Just put a sign there, that says that you only accept e-mails. (Digitally signed if required.)
I tried the paperless office with my old company. And the problem is, that other companies don’t accept your digital signatures (even if they are official ones issued by the state), and that your clients won’t buy a expensive device and get a digital signature, just so they can make valid digital contracts with you.
Other than that, everything works. You scan every piece of paper you get in the mail (if it’s not spam), or remove your mailbox right away. And everything else happens via e-mail. Many companies already send you their invoices via e-mail anyway.
Exactly. Switzerland is still a much more direct democracy than most countries. In Switzerland, the population is the last one having a saying, and can just block a law between coming from parliament and becoming an actual law.
I really doubt this gets trough. Switzerland is usually not that retarded. Its population is pretty active in politics. It’s not that rare that something is blocked.
Sometimes I wonder how old they are. They act like children. EVERYBODY knows that it’s just a research paper. But these people always pull some childish obvious bullshit out of it.
It really reminds me of the latest South Park episode. “Yeah, must be a wizard alien!... *shifty eyes*”
FAIL! The 70s called. They want their method of payment back.
A check? Really? On first buy? WTF? If someone new buys from me, he pays 100% upfront, or he can GTFO. Bank transfer, cash, or equivalent (where the money is in my hands and won’t go back without me saying to). That’s it.
This can be generalized: Any technique that is usable for memorizing a vocabulary, are also good for memorizing Chinese characters. Since they are more words than letters.
Wrong. Now you can automate it with a script. Of course that’s only an obvious thought if you are used to really using a computer. Instead of just playing with point-and-click appliance systems.

It’s better than what was there before.

That is perhaps the best example ever, for the rule:
Never argue with an idiot. First he’ll drag you down to his level. And then he’ll beat you with experience. ;)

And how do you solved the problem of signatures on contracts? I mean signatures that are valid in court.

I think the display offers more bandwidth: http://www.erikyyy.de/tempest/
But be absolutely sure that you got checksums and error correction working. You don’t want to lose valuable data becuase of some bad old wiring.
And so does WLAN. Physical access to the photons of its radiation. ^^
And a hub can be simulated.
