I indeed would rather see something like: I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like Linux) for PCs. and then see what happens
It might be an interesting place to live if everything could be played with/used/stolen as long as it wasn't secured..
If I put a 100USD bill somewhere and somebody else takes it. You can be sure that the other person won't be charged with theft, but I might be charged with neglect or even provocation.
And in this example the money does not come back.
I have seen once where a person left the motor of his car running while going into the store. Police found the car back some miles away. The police said that if he pressed charges, they would press charges against him as well for neglect and provocation.
Also when taking such a car, the verdict will be different for somebody who just stepped in the car and drove of then with somebody who needed to break into the car and had all the tools with him.
The first might be a slap on the wrist and a warning, the second might put you in jail.
Where do you start this? On one side you have that nothing ever becomes public property. On the other side you have that everything is public property. It is easy to explain that nothing ever becoming public property is bad does not need any explanation here. Everything becoming public property is a bit harder. If I publish it, should it then become public property or (for the sake of argument) one step further when I think about it? One _could_ defend that if I think about it and not publish it, I deprive the public of their property and thus steal from them. That also is a very bad way to go.
The ideal situation is to have it somewhere in between. The big question is where in the middle? 1 year? 5 years? 25 years? 75 years? Depending on what it is, like code or a book or a movie? Till the maker is dead?
And if talking about the maker, what if it is something made by a collection of people, like the Linux code or a movie? Not having copyright might be a solution, but remember that without copyright you will not have a GPL or any other of that type of licenses.
Most of these tags have a barcode, so with a barcode-reader entering should be extremely simple and as an extra it will be less prone to errors when typing and a lot faster.
Serial numbers can be scanned while they are still in the box. That way even before unpacking the PC, you can put them in a database. That way you can scan many other things as well when entering them in the database, including printers and cellphones.
Well, would money in other places NOT be cross-contaminated?
OTOH, perhaps there are other (cultural) differences. Some ideas: People in other places use more coins Coke is handled different by users People in other countries keep coke more separated from their money
Or it could be that Americans use more coke compared to the rest of the world (and the rest of the world is just too drunk to use coke)
There is just not enough information. For all I know, the people that press the money are all cokeheads and it is really surprising that 10% DOESN'T have coke on it.
Seriously, why? If someone want to send me something, why wait till you are dead? Why not say it now?
Think about what message you would give to the people and then do NOT wait, do it now. If you want to say that you love or hate somebody or something, do not wait. It could very well be that you are not the first to go and then you will walk around with the idea of 'why did I not say it?'.
If you can't say it now, it isn't worth saying at all.
Pre-installed software is often the reason. e.g. if you get a "free" anti virus program, most likely the anti-virus company has payed the hardware manufacturer to put it on there. If e.g. Opera would pay money to get their browser on it, the price would be more even.
A second reason might be that no matter what, they still have to pay Microsoft and even more if they DON'T install it.
The first I know is true, the second is pure guessing.
This can help others where they can not see the content from the US. Hulu and others come to mind. Oh right, it isn't censorship if it isn't done by the government.
And some American now think: Labour, Liberal, Green. And they can not take a decision. See that more then two parties doesn't work. I live in a country with multiple states, languages and it DOES work, although a bit more complicated. To me it shows that it DOES work as politics should never be black or white, but instead it should be a lot of grey.
I do believe you. I am also sure that the majority of people is honest. However not everybody is like that. Sometimes people will become dishonest for various reasons.
That said, there is no real difference between outsourcing and doing it internally when talking about trust.
I can see this turning in a tv show where kids answer the same questions. It can then be asked if the older person is smarter than the child. Catching name would be something like: Are you smarter than a 4-6th grader.
That said, I do not think it is strange. It is not information that is used by them on a day to day basis. It could very well be that they learned it in school just like their kids are doing now. However they did not learn it to pass the knowledge, they learned it to pass the exams.
Obviously many people here will think this is very strange that those questions can not be answered, because to people here it is basic knowledge. Hate to burst your bubble, but it isn't for the generic public.
It is not as if they will start knocking on peoples door at random. That will happen in 10 years or so.
As TrueCrypt is known by the police, they will ask you for the password of the hidden volume and if you don't have it or forgot it or whatever, it is 2-5 years of jail time for you in the UK. By using TrueCrypt, you will be put in jail, no matter what.
I stopped watching news a long time ago. To me it is either irrelevant or I can't do anything about it, but panic. I do have in Belgium the ability to see several news broadcasts: In total I am guessing some 15 different ones.
Seriously, why should I know that a plane crashed in the Hudson? The news now is really "Pics or it didn't happen." Buying news is cheaper then making it, so except for some local items (and even then) I see the same news in 9 countries I am able to get it from.
A few years ago during the late hours German TV broadcasted news from 30 years ago. Same shit, different names. Even the local news was the same.

At least that is how it works in Belgium.

Whether that is good or bad I do not know.

What if you have 10.000+ desktops?
Well, would money in other places NOT be cross-contaminated?
OTOH, perhaps there are other (cultural) differences. Some ideas:
People in other places use more coins

People in other countries keep coke more separated from their money

Yeah, stupid people gamble. Smart people invest.

Why is that a problem? People tend to do pretty well without that specific knowledge.
In fact, forget about the land.

A bit how we try to attack the RIAA by letting them sue random people?
That would mean that almost nobody would be able to buy a house. Start a business? Forget it, because you will need to loan money to do that.
Running a business? Nope, you will loan some money there as well.

That would be GOOD news. The bad part is that you will buy magazines and every other page the adds will shout at you.
