So basically you are stating that you live in a trailer, earn 8-9K/Mo. and are proud of how muchmoney you can put aside? . . . you must be Dutch!:)
Joke aside, I met quite a few persons whose highest value in life was to earn as much money as they can (and save as much). Nothing wrong with that, but most of them seemed, at a closer look, to need a counselor/therapist.
Currently a work with such a person; while he can be a nice guy, this behavior makes him suspect to most people who know him. It took a lot of time (over a year) for him to open up a bit and start talking about his problems (ie. he feels guilt when spending money, his father is insensitive, etc.)
Even though he makes good money, drives a good car, lives with his parents and thus has a stuffed bank account, he is a very unhappy person. Women dont really want to mingle with him; the ones who might, he suspect for being after his money,...
My point is that this anarcho-capitalism, you described as an ideal worth pursuing, is just an extension of the state my colleague lives in.
And dont forget that what you are describing is in effect a predatory capitalism depriving people of the fair chance they might get in a regulated market.
P.S. your 100k job *is* at stake, since many indians will do it for 8-10k
Whenever I try to explain, that I do zip during working hours, means I am doing a great job, people give me this sheepish look...
If things dont work, its my fault...if things work, I'm a lazy bastard. Just forget about ordinary users voting for their sysadmin
Imagine the wealth of p0rn and cyberhookers being attracted to this. Until now, you had to enter an URL to get the smut, from now on its just like in the old days...just stroll along a (digital) back alley and you get some of the weirdest offers. Two things bother me here...What will the spammers come up with (naked beauties handing out pamphlets?:) and what will the script kiddies do (how do you get robbed in a VR environment)?
I loved the idea, when I saw it on maemo.org
Just dont use your 770 in the sun with this theme, its basically unreadable and I did not have the time to fiddle around with the colors. Cool idea, bad implementation (I hope the developers will follow some additional ergonomy guidelines)

They might need it, since their "server" runs XPpro and they get a bunch of volunteers to work there. As for the legal stuff, you dont need to transfer this license, since the installation can be performed "in your name", hence you are still the owner of this product, but you grant the organisation an exclusive right to use this software (you dont sell or give away, you just let them use it instead of you)
Which brings us back to the original purpose of posting!:)
In your cultural envoronment, you percieve such a weapon in civilian hands as something perfectly normal. Be it fir self defense, shooting wild animals, dealing with tresspassers, etc.
Me, OTOH, think its normal to see nipples and pubic hair on public TV. Is that a reason to invade my country?
I see the problem in the purpose of these devices and not just in their caliber.
Thisis a weapon designed to be as accurate as possible for a range of 1000m. Now, give me a good civilian reason why you would want to shoot a target a full kilometer away? Tresspassing?:)
Granted, muzzle loaded weapons reload slower, but with a rifle like that, one seldom needs more than one shot.;)
To me its inconceivable that someone acually *sells* or *buys* these weapons!
whats their purpose? hunting tanks? selfdefense against helicopters?... Oh, might it be plainly killing people from a distance?
AFAIK many pople are not aware that these killing devices can be bought openly in quite a few coutries (Oh, I think Yemen banned the open sale of these so there is only one country left...)
You'll also get invaded if your enemies believe you aren't a rational actor.
You just described the problemof cultural differences. To us its not rational to force women to cover their head/face/ancles/..., to forbid pornography, enforce strict gun control, publicly execute criminals, and so on. To many, its unconceivable that people openly accept prostitution, pornography, open sales of a Barret.50 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M82_(rifle), sleazy lawyers, and so on
If what you said was true, history would have been much different, since rationality always was a matter of cultural fashion.
Oh btw, you just justified the 9/11 attacks with Bushs stup...*cough*...irrationality:)
Todays batteries are not good (and cheap) enough for the market. Li-ion,poly,whatever and NiMH batteries can be charged only by a small current, taking an eternity until you're back on the road again. High capacitance capacitors, on the other hand, seem to have a huge problem with storing energy over a longer period of time and voltage drops proportional to theammount of stored energy. All of these problems with capacitors can be circumvented. btw. short-circuiting one of those might give you a bad (suborbital flight) experience:)
Actually I know quite a few of them!
Its true that most ppl. use the chips to play illegal copies; still I see that as a problem of media producing companies.
Maybe the U.S. should ban the sales of sport cars, after all, how many sports car owners are race drivers? I might be inclined to think that most of them break the law on a regular basis And tes, unlike video game pirates, these guys risk human lifes...
Yeah, but AFAIK if you want to *sell* something developed with QT, first you have to *buy* QT. Which, of course is OK! Its just the unflexible price tag that makes one weary. I just cant afford to develop a product and give away the source code (no one really cares about licencing here).
True, but as a (hobby) user of QT who spent several years of learning about this framework...and eventually learning to love it:), I got pretty frustrated that me, and a couple of friends, cant use QT to develop commercial software. For the 4 of us we would have to spend some 12.000 Euros. with a monthly avg salary of 400 Euros per month (my country), we just cant afford to start a business based on QT.
In many ways, it is shameful to know that the OSS community helped those guys to develop a product but in return they offer a licensing model which suits only "Big Players"
Certainly, but then we can count on the chinese *having* to redesign their weapons and so on. One wonders how many cycles od redesign/upgrade will it take until they decide to use active countermeasures. Sounds like a new arms-race to me
But the combination of China's efforts and advances in Russian satellite jamming capabilities illustrate vulnerabilities to the U.S. space network are at the core of U.S. Air Force plans to develop new space architectures and highly classified systems, according to sources.
As a non-American, I find it problematic that a spy-satellite "attacked" in that way over a sovereign third country is seen as a vulnerability to the U.S. space network.
This report is suggesting that the U.S. have the right to spy on anyone anywhere, everywhere; while the rest of the world *has* to accept that...of course no one should dare to do the same thing to the U.S. and dare you spy on us! You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!
I administer a network of 30 inhouse and 400 remote workstations. Inhouse I have 2 NATted 4Mbps connections for 30 users, which should be enough for most cases. this summer, I had problems with the NAT routers slowing down almost to a halt. When I took a closer look, I found out that we had several BT clients running simultaneously with several hundred open connections!
Now I have 1(one) instance of an emule client running, with a web interface where everyone can "order" some files, and a public share where he can pick them up...no complaints since then! ...OTOH, I often forget that you guys in the US have to be careful not to get sued...:P
Ummm, no one said it has to be an embedded server!
You could actually run the server under (x)inetd...should make this a 2 hour job of just parsing and handling file requests. The socket stuff should be obsolete in that case.
Cause you can put the blame on the guy who sold you this stuff.
Managers usually dont like free software out of liability concerns...weird, the obviously never read the EULA!
OK, its true that I was pissed off when I did'nt get a visa. But, even though my daughter *is* an american citizen, which gives me a legal right to live and work in the U.S., I have no intention of moving to the U.S. !
I'll Probably move to Austria or Germany (where I was born:), where I have a permanent residentship.
What I was referring to were not the U.S. immigration laws, but rather the way your Government sets up dual standards in regard to non-US citizens. Many countries do just the same, but not many claim to lead the free world. I met a lot of americans, and consider most of them pleasant people. Therefore I consider it very sad when many innocent people around the world get mistreated in the name of the same individuals I met, and call my friends.
3) Get off your fucking high horse. Are there disturbing things happening in the US? Yes. Are there in your part of the world too? You betcha. I don't know what country you are from and really, it doesn't matter. Wherever it is, I guarantee there's some scary big brother stuff that some people are pushing. Hell, some of it you may already have and are just used to it, you might even think it's normal whereas it'd scare me. Either way this "I'm scared to go to the US," is an attitude that screams ignorance.
When my wife (who was a resident of the U.S.) decided to give birth to our daughter in a U.S. clinic, I applied for a visa so I could attend the birth of my first child. Everything was set for the trip, and even though I worked in Austria at that time, had a lot of cash on my account, I was not issues a visa out of concerns that I might not leave the U.S. Oh, btw. I am a Croatian citizen. Quite a few Americans I talked to were comparing their democracy to the Romans or the Greek. There is one similarity they quite likely missed: The Greek and Roman treated non-citizens barbaric. Regardless of what you think, your gvt. treats non-US-citizens like shit
2) If it's true, someone will patent it and it won't be free - on the contrary, it will still somehow cost me as much as energy does now, as greed seems to outpace progress these days.
I have full faith in the Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian, Bulgarian, (You name the country!...) industry who just wont give a damn about IP. And I give them the full right to do so!
It is every countries *obligation* to give as cheap as possible (free??!?) energy to its people. Steorn will make enough profit of this patent.
Oh, btw. this falls just into the category of an AIDS/Cancer vaccine. Will you really tell the rest of the world that they have to keep dying unless they pay you royalties?
