  1. Re:Deliver.com - Open Company or Open Auction? on F*ckedCompany.com For Sale - On eBay · · Score: 1
    The stakeholders of Deliver.com Inc. - its shareholders, customers, and employees - would all have the ability to suggest, debate, and vote on changes to every aspect of the company

    So it'd be kinda like an extreme version of the moderation here.
    Buena suerte.

    Corporations... immoral...monopolize...exploiting...strangle the progress...

    Jeez, Buddy, you left out the words "evil" and "heartless" and "money-grubbing."
    It's just their stuff and they want to try to protect it, just like you do with your stuff.

    Hanlon's Razor
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    I don't know who Hanlon is, but Napolean is known to have said something very much like this (except in French, o' course), and he may not have been the first.

    Yep. Yep, seems like giving out free candy made by your own design and then someone goes home and makes his own recipe that everyone can follow.

    No it doesn't. It's like giving out free candy and selling instructions on how to unwrap and eat it, but then somebody else comes up with a free way to unwrap and eat it and do other useful candy things.
