When will you people learn work and learning are not the same thing. I want kids to be able to learn enough that if they chooses to they can step on the asshole will be replacing Gates on the next millenium. Education is more than training kids on Office products no one ever uses after getting out of school.
If only Steve Wozniak had anything to say about it.
On the other hand, I like low-inflation, and I also like the fact that I personally have easy access to 128-bit encryption but that the average stupid criminal doesn't.
Will somebody show me a stupid criminal? Who makes 'em? Where do they come from? Man when can we create a test that shows whether you can tell the difference between evil, stupid, ignorant, arrogant, disturbed, and just plain nuts. Course, that would probably lower National morale and then the end of the world would come soonmer than 2007.
Despite the likelihood the original poster will not repond here goes:
Lottery: Value of prize promised, except during a split.
Cards: Value of card depends upon the skill of the player. Something that cannot be put into dollars. Who the hell would play a game with an idiot who has a card that will beat anyone who plays in under a minute? Another idiot. No one else.
I think it should be thrown out on account of paying $Ks for $100 cards. Anyway the lottery comparison is a stretch in my opinion.
I'd rather die in an accident or murder spree than rot in your paranoia.
What if they saved lives? HHAT IF THEY WASTED THEIR TIME! WHAT IF TOMORROW ANOTHER ZOLOFT, RITALIN, PROZAC ADDICTED TEEN GOES AND KILLS PEOPLE? THAT'S WHAT WE GET FOR BELIEVING IN SOMA.
Now ladies and gentleman, let me say I will except to the trenchcoat story if and when it is physically demonstrated that all trenchcoats come equipped with transdermal patches for psychotropic drugs. If anyone can prove that trenchcoats have never and can never cone without the patches, I'll buy it.
While you're at it, how about a class action suit against media for irresponsibility in journalism?
I have seen at least once that legal depts will piss on the GPL as long as the GPL is untested (untested my ass, it has never gotten to court, companies often turn around).
Slashdotters are making up for the lack of real commentary in traditional media, so better believe they won't be getting along. Unless you want us all turning into thin-skinned easily annoyed Microsoft guinea pigs. That said I think it's been dicussed quite well, including the Black Futurist article earlier. As for nasty words. HA! I am a white european immigrant and have managed to get myself called a "nigger". By a nigger of course. About the oddest thing I remember from High School.
So don't besurprised that in the future the sun will be eclipsed every other minute given our society is paranoid enought to cover the skies with them.
That being said, I'd rather not have people patenting mass destructive biochemical weapons. Imagine Armageddon coming to a halt because several warring countries are caught up in a lawsuit against each other. Maybe that's the 1000 year reign.
Listen, FYI all of them are clowns. RMS, ESR, Perens. It takes that kind of determination to make it in our society.
Besides, the Law says that IF YOU DON'T COVER YOUR ASS, you lose the right to defend a license.
Don't you realize your eagerness to defend your high-and-mighty idealogies is the exact sort of hysteria that characterizes Microsoft's legal department? In your fierceness to defend against look-and-feel, you've become just as lawyer-happy when someone even questions "your" ethics
Come again? He never said defend ideologies. He said defend the GPL. Show some ability to process complex contexts. Defending a license is not the same as being letigious. (Drop the dictionary. The world makes dictionaries, not the other way around. The world therefore has precedence on meaning. Unless this is Oceania.)
out of thin air. Why do people expect that every momemnt you learn somethinmg new. You don't! You learn some bullshit then it all cooks a while then it bears fruit. Same with work. You contemplate, think, and then after some time you lay it down on paper or program it or build or whatever it is you do.
As a result you have to wait for work to be done. all this monitoring shit is a Fascist, shallow efficiency theory fopr people who don't want to be involved just be at press conferences.
I'm so fucking sick of people who don't realize time is not money but is valueable. Just because I apply for a job doesn't mean I'm the employer's property. That's why they sign papers before they hire you. The fact is if an employer wants me to cover more than a few positions I should get paid more. That way they won't interfere with the projects I do ehen I'm free.
I say if you don't pay I choose my work, if you pay I choose something else. Frankly I think we should all get a leased line instead of a company car.

Seems you know so much about how gov't works.
n?
The why not use non-contract technology and let Sun fall into a black hole or some shit.

This isn't a chat room folks. Go out and get some info.
Besides regarding info-gathering and hysteria, we can multitask can't we?
It does. *not*.
All them IngSoc words are scaring me. Stop that.

Ok. I'm going to send you toward a famous quote, see. Because I'm tired of saying it.

So how do we do this?

Then I hope you don't mind when your work is violated either.

It does not work!

Damn. Lucky Bastard.
Sell them to PHB's. Case closed.
If it is part of nature we should try to understand it.
You mean to tell me that if you see a drop of water, you can't imagine an ocean. Socratic exploration of science is irresponsible.
Are you going to tell me that if I measure 1 cm and 1 more cm and I find I get 2 cm and 1 more for 3 cm, I'm going to have to check 3cm + 1cm = 4 cm.
How is it people can't abstract? I'm amazed.
We already knew what was possible before it was built.
How shallow can you get?
Skip school if you're responsible enough to compete in the real world. If you've got the discipline, you've got a better chance.
