Rand didn't advocate the profit motive as some sort of God, not one of her works says anything to that effect. You're falling for the crap college Objectivist clubs try to justify by Raqnd's text much like the way Nietzche's works are used to justify intolerance again falsely.
She advocated the right to be paid a fair amount for one's efforts, the right to research (reverse engineer, experiment, reimplement), the right to respect and value anyone you choose including yourself over others.
Using Rand to justify monopolies is dishonest.
By the above argument no one should be allowed to sell anything independently because it would hinder the progress of a related culture.
The only argument I will buy is that a continually visible interest in a market from a corporation that can manage is more likely to produce than hoping that random individuals are going to be interested in your mony and your needs when you need them.
On the other hand if people make their own it all breaks down to doing it yourself. So even that argument makes no sense.
Take a look at the net. Where would it be without view-source?
It has nothing to do with backward compatibility.
It has to do with intelligent design. It's not only because of the impracticality of having 24 individual signals for every pixel, it also has to do with the stupidity of even considering it.
Or don't you remember RGB monitors? 4 bit color:Red Green Blue plus White.
Vaporspeak. What you really mean is it's god damn cool, don't yall think is so so god damn cool, cloning owns.
You're forgetting the fact that genetics has the same approach as digital technology, to be predict and record and easily manipulate. Yet we still use analog signals in monitors because any fool knows that understanding things like current is far superior to having a bit for every little thing we want to accomplish. So far geneticists haven't sought to understand only to control and what corp takes any responsibility nowadays? Daytraders, and sahareholders do it for the lack of consequences in the short term.
1) Yes it's a bad thing. Genetics is still prenascent quackery. The best anyone could think of is super humans, as if time (learning experience etc) doesn't exist.
Most branches of knowledge have a number of levels such as basic principles (arithmetic), abstracted concepts (algebra, calculus, discrete math), and applied concepts (geometry, trig, game theory).
Genetics is nowhere near this. It's in the "infomercial" novelty stages.
Science shouldn't make things easier only more practical, it shouldn't make better humans it should teach them.
2) How'd you come to that conclusion?
You said:"That's like banning medicine and nutrition".
Just because a bunch quacks can't stop drooling doesn't mean they have a clue.
Ever seen a labrador-pit-bull? I havbe. It's the most confused pathetic animal I have ever seen. It constantly needs to jump all over the house, yet it doesn't ever get any satisfaction out of it.
You can't talk about bulletins unless you get them from Microsoft. You can't discuss previous emails from Microsoft which may have been changed because that would be redistribution. You would literally have to invite everyone you are discussing things with to your home. Remember MS vs/. slapsuit? Well SF backed down/. didn't. Had/. backed down they would have had a legally binding responsibility (look it up dear) to completely shut down the site and set up a post review board. ZDnet has one, LinuxToady has one, quite a few have them. Now who wants this to turn into ZDdot?

I've got Starcraft IPX and Battle.net but then again that's over the college network.
Apt-get dist-upgrade is so useful. What's interesting is I have yet to create a mess with weekly dist-upgrades.
Having seen a proof for 2+2=5 via imaginary numbers and the resulting -1=1, this Fox Network like story is getting on my nerves. Stop discovering life and get us off this rock already.
The problem is this is also a management issue. You have a company A. You have bunch of people B. You have bunch people fewer than B called C.
A needs to take care of B, and in standard business practice C is some other thing out there that may or may not be around in a few years.
This isn't reasoned out to the fullest extent, it's just the sort of "life ain't fair kid" attitude most businesses have.
And guess what? They're RIGHT. They're human beings who want to enjoy life. They have set limits so that they can control when the work ends and they no longer have to think about IBM and go back to thinking about their families.
The least they should do is open their partition loading code so that FreeBSD hackers could avoid ruining systems in the process.
I disagree with AilleCat on this one because having to be interrupted from work by things not related to my main business is EXACTLY why I hate the RIAA, MPAA, BSA, who want you to walk on egg shells every moment of your life.
What they should do is get IBM and FreeBSD groups talking at DESIGN time so you avoid these issues.
Simplicity: One function
Simplexity: Many ways of doing one thing
Complexity: One way of doing many things
Complicity: Many functions
I can usually deal with the first until I'm bored, appreciate the freedom of the second, respect the wisdom of the third, and I absolutely abhor the fourth.
It's not fear of breaking that gets people to not use functions. It's the utter disorganization involved. Most products are built so that an illiterate could learn each thing one day and do just that. The problem is that even if you're somewhat intelligent, the big easy books make things impossible to recall. Granted no hacker would pride him/herself on his/her memory, but his/her skill. Thing is you don't even have the ability to record enough to make a picture of what you're learning and to organize it.
Lwave the basics to the beginners.
If you're doing something a bit more complicated, step up to the plate and learn some insights into the software before you go further. The same goes to devers. Don't dumb it down. It turns into crap. You end up making computers think the way humans do and react the way computers do, instead of making them react the way humans do and making them think the way computers shopuld think.
Wake up and smell the SDL. SDL, ClanLib, GGI and OpenGL are turning the whole thing around. Heck SDL is about the sweetestest cleanest library I've ever seen.
And I'm an Amiga fan.
And speaking of hardware support, take alook at Win2k, There's like nothing as far as drivers forthcoming.
Because the money doesn't belong to them. The first sign of de-evolution is a gov't making laws about property rights with no consideration for others' property rights.

DRI = DirectX alternative
Does very well.

What the hell are you smoking?
People run oses and software on a bazillion different configurations quite fine.
That makes no sense.WHAT hardware variations?
It's x86 based.

That was in jest. I would never call for a pen tax because someone might be copying my work.
