Instead of powering Norsk cruise ships to carry around the One Percent, wouldn't it be better to use those dead fish as fertilizer to grow food to feed the other Ninety Nine Percent?
Just move the 99% into the 1% and we can all be the 1%.
The problem only really exists for those locked into less sophisticated, usually proprietary, operating systems where such conveniences don't exist.
Yeah, until you need to get something done. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of OpenJDK, but its slow. You might be able to get away with it on a non critical application but there is no way it is enterprise ready.
Most people are _not_ suckers. Nerf the world and they will be, soon enough.
Most people are suckers to self serving people because they project their value system onto them. Media, politics are all geared around keeping people emotionally charged so that they are predictable and easy to control.
Bad deals, entered into voluntarily are not criminal.
Constructing a bad deal to defraud someone is criminal.
You might claim that Rolex is 'immoral' for overcharging, but their suckers think they are getting value.
Except I didn't. All you have to do is ask yourself if you are serving others or yourself and you will discover how evil lies.
the kind that make a crime committed in another country against our citizens or our gov't prosecutable via extradition treaty?
You mean like invading a foreign country killing hundreds of thousands of their citizens in a "not a war" where you're basically occupying a country for no clear reason.
Do send George W over so that *pick any country* can try him as a war criminal.
Still, if you didn't want him prosecuted you were probably better off with Bernie.
So the political arm of the US government is going to ignore separation of powers and assume control of the judiciary, just like a police state. That's effectively what you are saying.
The bad guys cheat. Get over it. It happens. But if the good guys stay home then what do you expect?
You can thank people like Assange and Snowden for the democracy you have.
So here I am in Australia, if I see an CIA agent murder an Australian in Australia, the US government wants to be able to prosecute me for the crime of espionage if I publicly report their crime, keeping in mind it is a crime to fail to report a crime, accessory after the fact.
Under the witnessing laws passed in the 2001 Australian Anti-Terrorism Act you would be subject to a mandatory prison sentence of 5 years. Proof of your innocence would be taken from you at the same time burden of proof placed upon you.
So the US government is attempting to demand that citizens all over the world, betray their own countries laws, to keep secret the criminal activities of the US government, in those countries.
Yep
Now the US wants to make it illegal and global law, that the US is able to break any countries laws for any reason and that no citizen of any country, NO CITIZEN, is allowed to report those crimes and should they do so, be subject to prosecution and obviously illegal detention and probably torture.
Yep
Go fuck yourself USA.
Yep
Want to extradite Assange, do it from Australia, else face a major backlash and many Australians doing much worse than Julian Assange.
It's not my job to know if someone thinking of buying it can afford it. Their job, my job is getting paid for it.
It depends on who you serve.
Treating people like adults is not being an asshole, rather the opposite.
Treating people like assholes isn't adult, it's just making an excuse for being an asshole.
If someone wants to interrogate me like when I was a middle schooler (looking for glycerin, fuming nitric acid and high molar sulphuric) they can fuck right off.
Ok, so you were bullied at school, sounds like it was pretty cruel. I hope you're ok.
It is _immoral_ and _unethical_ to let a sucker keep his money
Which is the rationale narcissists and criminals use to justify the personality disorder that compels them to cheat people who's trust they've earned. "If I don't do it, someone else will.".
One person, one million people, where do you draw the line? Imagine the old war veterans after you cheated them out of everything that they had - "It was my moral and ethical duty to defraud you of your retirement - sucker". Perhaps that's what cyber criminals follow up with after saying "It's just business".
If you cheat someone out of their money you've chosen to do that, you intend to take something that isn't yours, you have intent. That's called fraud, there is a reason that's a crime, it causes people enough hardship that it is a motivation for murder.
(legalities be damned). The highest utility for the money (by definition) is for me to get it.
Legalities be damned, keep thinking that way and you'll end up ass raped in a cell or worse found dead in a dumpster after being beaten to death by the people you defrauded.
It would be _immoral_ and _unethical_ not to point that out to you.
But being aggressively anti-union and using your control over an economic behemoth to keep salaries down and workers firmly under your thumb... that's not bullying at all, right?
The first problem is: who gets to decide what's unethical?
Moral relativism is simply allowing evil in degrees. You either know the difference between right and wrong OR YOU SHOULD.
Exactly. There is more and more evidence mounting that the 'fringe' story we're being told about human history is the mainstream view of it. Sooner or later the archeological "theories" and gradualism will collapse under the weight of geological evidence.
I have to admit: I only watched it three or four times.
Considering that English is not your first language and that the books have far more detail than the movie I think you've done pretty well appreciating it.
The sequel however, I could not stand at all.
I don't think Clarke wanted it to be a movie. Having read the book it fit into the story, however 2061: Odyssey Three and 3001: The Final Odyssey take the story further in unexpected and interesting ways. Well worth a read.
A nuclear power plant on the other hand can be put inside a sturdy bunker.
Which is exactly why NPP's have high capital costs, the huge amount of concrete for thermal containment. Now you propose more so basically you're proposing a NPP that will never be built.

Anyone notice how SpaceX rockets look like giant joints, smoking their way off into the cosmos? Coincidence?!
That's SpaceX should develop a "Rocket Bong", sales would be huge.
The 99% is now useless and its prolonged existence is a burden to the ecosystem.
Not if we recycle them as biogas for ships. We could use humans to heat our homes.
Instead of powering Norsk cruise ships to carry around the One Percent, wouldn't it be better to use those dead fish as fertilizer to grow food to feed the other Ninety Nine Percent?
Just move the 99% into the 1% and we can all be the 1%.
It's not an onboard fish-guts-to-power arrangement;
You just ruined the plot of a futuristic eco-horror where the passengers kept going missing and no one ever arrived at their destination.
Thanks
Now that the sublime has passed.
All we can do now is just enjoy the show.
Because people are COWARDS. FTFY.
Well, that too.

The problem only really exists for those locked into less sophisticated, usually proprietary, operating systems where such conveniences don't exist.
Yeah, until you need to get something done. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of OpenJDK, but its slow. You might be able to get away with it on a non critical application but there is no way it is enterprise ready.
so why wouldn't you just use openjdk?
Because it is slow. Every time I've tested it with enterprise software the issue has been performance. It gets there, eventually.
why does anyone need an amazon version that they may start charging for?
I want OpenJDK to work. I haven't tried to nail down specifics however now I'm getting more interested in trying.
BTW, if you've seen the stories about Amazon pulling out all the stops to avoid Oracle: this is how serious they are.
That says a lot about people's view of Larry.
They've spent years and millions to separate Java from Oracle in internal use, so they could really be Oracle-free, with full confidence in the JVM.
Everyone would do the same if they could.
this is happening in Britain. Why do we seemingly accept these types of security measures uncritically, always without question whatsoever.
Because people are afraid.
That's what I meant. I'm glad someone got the joke.

This is the James Dyson award. It just needs to look clever, not actually work. He has made millions off of that.
His vacuum cleaners really suck.

I think his voice was a little hypnotic.
Apparently neither are apostrophes.

This movie was a seriously suboptimal experience. Long boring among other things.
Perhaps it just reflects what is already inside.
Would anyone bother watching it more than once?
Only if you enjoy art.
So sad that the loss of my audience didn't include you.
Maybe he doesn't find you as boring and repetitive as the rest of your audience does.
