getting 0 money from creative work from everyone is ridiculus i agree, but so is Disney extending copywrites and continuing to profit from works done decades before. There needs to be more balance between giving things away and making billions off of them.
This is the same attitude of open source. It really should be adopted by more people, artists, musicians, inventors and innovators. A creative-without-pay attitude would be a big part in making a happier more equal society.
What happened to the gold old days when artists made art? Today most artists and artisans only whore themselves to the corporation and turning our society into a police state where you have to pay for the air you breathe.
Open Source is the solution, the cure, not just open software, but open everything. The idea of a corporation is destroying our freedom. One day long ago, my country came into being by declairing independance from an oppressive king who had a monopoly on goods for the people and thus charged too much for everything. Today is a new day, a new age when the corporation is king with more power then ever before.
Dare I say we declair independance once again?
I'm not sure whether this is feasable at all....but.
If I were a genetic engineer (not college educated yet) I would be concentrating on combining a tree with the genes from an electricity-producing organism like an electric eel.

they should recruit the writers of Fable (uber-cool XBOX game to be out...somtime) to teach them that pulling shit like what happened at the prisons has an effect later in life.
instead of writing silly worms to attack microsoft software, just slashdot small microsoft servers for a nice free and legal way to give ms a nice kick in the ass
I think that the UN should concentrate it's efforts on a few important tasks instead of trying and mostly failing to do everything. Let's not add spam to the list of WMDs ok?
It's not frigntening that the USSR had ICBMs because the United States had the exact same thing and if one attacked so would the other. That war never happened because both sides realized that there was no way anyone could win.
I hate the way people think that the United States can have weapons piled to the moon, but if any other country has them they are somehow below us and don't deserve the right to defend themselves. I'm not saying we should give Osama some WMDs for his birthday, because people like him will use them. It is unfortunate that these weapons have to exist, but if everyone had them, no one would start any wars.
I believe that the USSR was a respectable enemy, and they deserved to have these weapons just as much as the USA
I personally can't wiat until some great evil makes a virus harnising NX to say.....block the execution of MSIE.....widespread luser panic is always fun
If you really want to know read Brian Greene's new book of which I have forgotten the name. The Universe expanding is like blowing up a baloon, put two dots anywhere on the baloon and as you blow it up they get farther apart, but not accelerating or moving vs the baloon. Space is the Baboon....er....baloon
Has anyone considered an Open control of the web? I know the domain registration would pose a serious block but seriously couldn't it be done? I think people with technical knowledge would do an incredibly better job at regulating the `Net vs. a bunch of hairy, old, and stupid men in whichever government is around [my apologies to the few clean-shaven, intelligent men in government]. I really believe that such a move is possible and would be a lot better for the network...children safety ie..xxx suffix and possibly even an anti-spam army because I really don't need any more herbal viagra, and I don't need more than one or two mortgage refinancings a day.
You talk about buying MXPX CDs as being the same as buying PlayBoy at the local bookstore with the sixty something grandma giving you dirty looks [or sexy ones ].
Personally I like arguing with the stoned guy with dreadlocks at the record store vs. checking out by the money-hungry drone at the local extention of the evil empire: WalMart or equivilant.

heh....excellent idea but isn't CAT5 limited to about 100 meters? I would imagine 35 miles of cable would have just a _little_ resistance.
this is a tax on companies _selling_ WiFi service and not a tax on breathing, understand?

I'll pay you $0.0002 to think up a more clever reply than this!
