Then, they shouldn't complain about their new digs, should they? They knew they were performing illegal activities. Sorry, this example of relative ethics is bull.
And, just how were they to know the comps were unrelated to the charges before they investigated them? Youre anger is misplaced. Point it at the felons.
"I'm not certain that was the case in this instance"
That's correct, you're not sure. Like another poster pointed out, earlier some folks were screaming about the gomment abuses. Turns out they were wrong. Perhaps a wait-and-see on this is appropriate as well.
"Thanks to movie such as Temple of Doom, a big part of Western Hemisphere thought this sad portrayal was still true of India until the Indians started stealing their jobs."
Oh, puh-lease. Unless that was a joke, it ws inane.
"And while we're at it, lets force everyone to become an automobile mechanic before they are allowed to have a drivers license. That way they would know enought to take care of their own cars."
"The problem with your analogy is that people are required to be basically competent at driving before they are legally allowed to drive."
Nope. The problem with your response is he never mentioned their being competent at driving, he mentioned their being competent at maintenance.
Learning how to tweak the grist of web-access is no more relevant to the bulk of humanity than learning how to tweak the carborator of their car.
"It's your analogy..."
Not only was it not his anology, but I fail to see where the hell you came up with it.
How very pompous of you to project your paranoia and motives onto Gandhi. Everything you have said in your rants applies to anyone seeking control over others. 'Conservatives', 'Liberals', it does not matter. Remove your tin foil (at least a few layers).
Go read his website. He does none of what you suggest.
I suggest you apply your "unobvious link" phrase to his entire website and his thought processes as well. What he did was pablum, pure and simple. Even his "hierarchy of metaperspectives" is arguable, as different societies have different definitions for some of the components (eg: honor).
He just grabbed something from a book and hashed together enough gobbly to trick a low-IQ PTO clerk.
Besides, worded somethings really are more of a copyright thing, eh?
Having gone to his website and read his pap, I'll post this money quote:
"It still remains to be determined, however, the best means towards programming these definitions into the AI format: particularly in light of the current trends involved in computer design."
Basically, he buried some psuedo-scientific thoughts into legalese and then patented it without any idea as to how to implement same.
One can certainly tell from the sloppy web-page that he has no idea of what he is doing.
This patent is vapor-ware with a strong odor of crap.
You might have provided some substance to your assertion. Maybe some discussion of your 'successful' venture and the methods that ensured proper and complete collab.
Slashdot Mirror
And you had to jump back 2-600 years backward to draw your analogy why?
"A suspicious government will imprison its people in the same manner that suspicious parents ground their children."
Suspicion is generated by other's shady actions too. Those parents are responding to a series of their children's actions.
Meaningless statement, there.

"2001: A Space Odyssey still stands today as one of the most scientifically accurate Sci-Fi movies."
Hate to break it to ya, but that has absolutely nothing to do with making a good SF movie. There's that tricky little word "fiction" to account for.
"...according to 60 of the most influential scientists in the world,..."
You mean, the guys that seldom get out?
"Thanks to movie such as Temple of Doom, a big part of Western Hemisphere thought this sad portrayal was still true of India until the Indians started stealing their jobs."
Oh, puh-lease. Unless that was a joke, it ws inane.
"As much as Word sucks, it's become a de facto standard. There's no competition anymore..."
This is simply untrue. You need to educate yourself before you can educate your users.

Fee-yucking gak!
Your entire rant was information free. Simply your opinion stated in a very psuedo-authoritive way. Provide some reasons why leftism is superior.
And, Chomsky fer Crissakes!
How very pompous of you to project your paranoia and motives onto Gandhi. Everything you have said in your rants applies to anyone seeking control over others. 'Conservatives', 'Liberals', it does not matter. Remove your tin foil (at least a few layers).
Your tag-line says a lot.
Mulholland Drive made complete sense. Parhaps you just missed it?
"The point is that a university degree sets one apart as a leader and not a follower."
Since when? In the ideal, perhaps. In the real world, they are all over the place. You can't have all leaders now, can you?
So, how do you get those good grades? Ideally, through understanding. How do you measure understanding? Ideally, through good grades.
The era of small classes with the mentor leading the students through 'self-discovery' has been dead for centuries. Too bad, tuff.
Those who cheat now will fail and pay later. Again, too bad, tuff.
"a robot is a tool"
So are most people, especially the guy who got tis patent.
No, robot is a slavic word used to define mechanical beings in the story ROR. The word means thrall or slave, not worker.

I agree with you, and did not pose the question because it seemed so self-evident to me. The PTO is peopled by retards.

"...once .NET reaches full maturity and is available for other platforms."
Care to tell us when this little gem will be realized? Especially the "other platforms" part?
You might have provided some substance to your assertion. Maybe some discussion of your 'successful' venture and the methods that ensured proper and complete collab.
I've seen more projects crippled by too many meetings where too many conflicting decisions were made than too few meetings.
If your "global" view is easily lost, it was not very good to begin with.
"...you cannot honestly expect him to try to extrapolate perfectly the world 10 years from now."
Him: "Here are some of my predictions for a typical day in late 2014...".
Umm, exactly why shouldn't I expect that from an article written by him expressly to give me his predictions.
What he predicts is a bit more like 2114.
They would be horribly alienated from the rest of humanity.
