thats the only solution i can think of. It takes way too much money and effort to create a new recognizable brand name so the only alternative is to purchase one with its logo from a bankrupt company and use it for a different product. If its a differnet product and under new management people wont associate it with the bad quality or internal management that made it go bankrupt to begin with.
People are realizing what they want more and more which means you're going to be able to sell to them less and less with advertizing. It will require either amazon-style profiling, word of mouth, or people will seek things out for themselves. Besides people enjoy the hunt for bargains, thats why swap meets (dare i say bazaar markets), auction sites like ebay and outdoor market places work well. Its also the same reason blockbuster sells more previously viewed tapes when theyre in a pile than when stacked neatly. The fact that they search the pile for a bargain makes them want to buy more. The name of the game is exposure. The longer you can have people check out or play with your product the more likely you are to sell them something.
in addition you could create a minimalist-brain slave race. you could even replace their motor functions with a lan card and wire them into a CAD program to build a building. Specialize the drones until they're corporately branded. See that one? he has the new honda xeon arm, we'll be equipping the others shortly after we measure the gains in productivity.
Free the drones and they stand there and do nothing. Can't breed with the drones because their dna is incompatible.
think about it, you can drink it, you can use it to grow plants, bathe in it, protect from radiation, create a gelatin out of it to contain it with the people in it. sure, it would decrease the number of people but the benefits are far greater. just think how much less radiation people would absorb if the walls of the spacestation stored their water. couldn't it act as an insulator too?
yes, that would work but you'd wind up a puddle. what i still havent understood is why they couldnt put people in water or some sort of gelatin to distribute the incredible force and allow them to survive a trip to orbit.
I mean seriously, they need to implement this right away if possible. They say we're going to have a power crisis for the next 2 years until they start building new power plants or come up with a better idea. Think how much power they would save if they used superconducting cables that could be put towards the larger power pool.
Yea, for reals. He'd be at the church and we'd connect over a spare church phone line for deathmatching with doom. The only game he wouldnt touch was heretic (for obvious reasons). He said theres nothing wrong with killing demons if you're a pastor. I found it quite cool.
Also not all warnings are ignored. For a period of time I worked at a blockbuster video and our store manager used to consistantly make sure none of us customer service reps would rent out the games unless the child was a certain age. (despite the fact i didnt believe it mattered)
I'm still waiting for some grandma in california to have a heartattack and be unable to dial 911 on her cordless because the base station is without power due to a rolling blackout. Family sues the city, media explodes with the heart-wrenching story, etc.

I mean HEY, they found out about napster to begin with. Even burning a cd was complicated at some point. Theyll all pickup the new technologies when theres a need for it.
i think dealing with something you may find annoying when someone else does it but when you do it its fine, is exactly hypocritical and the price of progress.
and i quote......Summers in Rangoon, Luge lessons, In the spring we made MEAT HELMETS. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really...
I've considered this possibility for a very long time though my idea was that the sun was possibly drowning out all signal that we could potentially capture. I mean really how difficult would it be for some naturally occuring process to interfere with radio broadcasts? I'm sure this has been thought of before but why has it never been brought up?
but you can't say the idea lacks the need for further research. I started making some designs myself that I was intending to put together with lego mindstorms before i got wrapped up in other things. I dont know, there just seems to be something about it that says its 'too easy'. Either it WILL be breakthrough and our foundation for nanotechnology OR some fundamental law of physics will prevent it. I get this feeling because the more engineering i put into the designs the further the goal moved back, much like someone trying to invent a perpetual motion machine. I could very well be wrong though.
All you have to do to show that US Gov't that export restrictions are ridiculous is tell them how easy it would be for programmers anywhere from india to iraq to code up a distributed.net/seti@home project that claims to be doing some altruistic cause while it does nuclear simulations instead.
If you cant access the processing power, have the processing power come to you!
True, ive thought about this before, also what about using water for acceleration purposes? couldnt they stand a far higher G if they were immersed in water or a gelatin? How solid would you have to be to survive electromagnetic acceleration?
I was also reading about how they were extracting dinosaur dna (i know its trite) by looking at carmelized feces and then reversing the chemical process to break out larger bits of dna. Apparently the carmelization process acts as a scaffold or structure to hold the dna together. Sounds very starwars 'carbonite'-ish but has there been any research in the area of locking cellular structure in a crystalized shape? I suppose they could put together a seti@home style algorithm to look for suitable chemicals.
Between the accusations of fradulent charges and the TOS it sounds like a sickening child molestation technique or something. Don't tell anyone about my fradulent charges to your card or bad things will happen sounds alot like Don't tell your parents what i did to you or bad things will happen. sick sick sick.
unfortunetly i dont think it will do any good, it seems the more money you pour into a problem the further you get from solving it. Do you actually think they will ever have a cure for aids or cancer? no. theyll make it a lifelong illness that they can milk forever. maybe im just disillusioned with my job. if you anyones hiring in the southern california area for jr network admin or helpdesk linux or nt email me plz.
The problem is that linux games are usually so difficult to get installed but if we had a simple interface for loading games, playing games, saving and loading states and the games were run in something like a large romfile which would be compressed tar gzipped and then when you installed it expanded but essentially run in something like a tar it would gain popularity. Of course it would have to be a standard people would have to agree on and the standard would have to be upgraded to take advantage of new hardware. Sure you wouldnt be able to take full advantage of everything but at least youd decrease your susceptability to crashes, etc and code efficency and innovation would go up as you would have to do more with less. This is why console games are so much better, it forced people to think about more creative efficent solutions rather than throwing more hardware at it.
Sometime in late 1971, a computer engineer named Ray Tomlinson sent the first e-mail message. "I sent a number of test messages to myself from one machine to the other," he recalls now. "The test messages were entirely forgettable. . . . Most likely the first message was "FIRST POST!!" or something similar."

I may sound troll-ish but look at ESR and the geeks with guns initiative. Open Source is ARMED.

it would kill us all, isnt it only 9 ly from us and ready to go any second?
