    Why is the stripper a bad example? It's tied to sexuality, expression and morality.

    In areas that don't directly affect most work, it should be off the table.

  2. Re:Sure, right, yeah... on Long Live Closed-Source Software? · · Score: 1

    But, the collaborative mind of open source hasn't developed new application avenues.

    Innovative programs like napster, bittorrent, trillian, photoshop, dragon naturally speaking etc. Come from closed source developers, the open source community doesn't seem to have a method of exploring radically diffrent ideas.

    Ah but what if say they take a copywrited design for a 3 year old Taurus. Not in production anymore so value = 0... but they can learn and upgrade it or just produce it cheaply.

    Net gain billions... they need to be selective and intelligent, now if a country totally stoped following IP that would be the best. Hopefully Antigua can figure out something vaguely intelligent to do with this.

    Ah but what about Chavez? Good old Hugo Chavez, I guess he's been demoted to backup with Kim Jong-Il, remember him?

    The Revolution Will not be Televised is required viewing for any discussion regarding U.S. international relations and media shenanigans.

    As for what the U.S. government thinks when it goes to war check out Fog of War with McNamara, a tell all from the man in charge of a war.

    Ok Grammar Nazi time, just finished a double major in english and comp. sci.

    There = Over there.

    The Air = Stuff you swim easily through.

    And, while I'm doing this:
    To = Go towards.
    Too = As well, as in "I'd like to go there too."

    I find grammar nazis annoying as well. However, you people write perl! English syntax shouldn't break your brain!

    And by wealth everyone means the distribution of wealth, the poorest countries (and the U.S. of course) 95% of wealth in controlled by 2% of population.

    So the best way for people to better themselves is to shoot the rich, since the rich don't want that.... they should support people working for and with each other, the laptop aids in this.

    Sure the fords of the world aren't going to send out the blueprints for the 2008 hummer or whatever but things like Presses and Machine tools can be created with a little knowledge and the right textbooks.

    The thing about teaching a robot to learn is you need a metric for success and failure.

    Human's don't even know what ours is yet! (Though we have theories ).

    Assuming we want the robots purpose to be making people happy, we haven't even found a way to qualify happiness yet, let alone quantify it.

    Psychology is a quagmire, people are diffrent, and we'll need to come from both directions (Psychology and adaptive A.I.) to develop useful heuristic models for A.I.

    Question: What's the smallest leathal weapon... Micro-poison darts?

    When we go down the robotic warfare road we arrive at nano-warfare.

    Though the army likes big beefy guys, smaller targets are better.

    Next big war we'll have 18" crablike robots which walk on walls and have graphical camoflage, they do assasination style killings and wander through cities searching for heat sources.

    The war after that the biggest problem will be making sure they don't go outside the combat zone.

    This American administration has proved that reported death is just a number.

    Bioweapons are ugly in the news, poison darts that kill an entire population in their sleep is an extra 0 on a number and a 300 word story.
