Which crime was it? It wasn't stealing. He didn't sneak in and take stuff. They sent it to him. Others say fraud. But what did he lie or deceive about? He didn't hide anything.

I did read it. And there was a reason to mention that word: so people know what I'm referring to. But, you think people didn't like quoting that word? (and w/ the quotes not even written, but clearly there) umm that sort of makes sense. t

I wasn't complaining about being downmodded. I don't care about my karma. I do care about why people downmod anti-homophobic comments, and want to understand their reasoning. (It got at least 2 downmods. If people hadn't upmodded it, that w

I'm really curious why the downmod. Think I'm overreacting and it's good to use "fags" as slur with no context? Problem with my phrasing? Hate homosexuals? Thought "illiterate" wasn't precise enough a paraphrase? Annoyed with faint echoes o

I read some library books recently. yeah amazon delivers, but there are a lot of books not worth paying to own.

Calling illiterate people fags isn't actually ironic and witty.

The most famous rock stars, and actors, and sports players, are paid a lot due to high demand and low supply. (Plenty of supply of willing people, but not plenty of supply of people with hundreds of thousands of fans.)

It's not a paradox. The more unpleasant a job is, the more you have to pay to get people to do it.

he thinks consciousness is not computable, but is quantum computable? umm, all quantum computers do is run code in many universes, then the output can draw from on the total results. it doesn't really change what kinds of things are computa

qubits are not the next best guess. making quantum computers is really hard and delicate. a hot, wet, mushy place like the brain is no good.

because chess pieces don't store numbers. better use pieces of paper.

my guess is that if you move forward, while your opponent levels up his pieces, you'll get slaughtered. you'll have less mobile pieces and be more spread out. so both sides will level up. then they can't move anything very easily. move it f

doing that would lose. your opponent would make a bunch of high numbered pieces, and aim them all at the same place. he could attack that place with more than you defend it with.

so you build his graph thing at the end. and if you go part way down, then dead end (no match), then don't you have to go back to the 2nd char of the non-match and try to match a word from there? and thus do a lot more comparisons than the

OK, I just don't think that the difficulty of enforcing certain legal contracts, should be conflated with a public good problem. It's fundamentally a different kind of issue. Music downloaders are not free riders. They've broken the law (at

How do you figure that all of Gates' fortune was built on the back of legislative protection? Microsoft got in legal trouble for bundling IE with windows, for example. Which was the Government working to hurt MS in favor of its competitors.

How is intellectual property a public good issue? It's easy to, for example, sell a book to a single person, with a contract written to protect the author (from distribution of copies, or whatever). A public good issue is, say, when you b
