Facebook looks like tv listings and classifieds pages from old print magazines to me. If the future of software looks like facebook, there will be a hell of a lot of disappointed people.

The way things went with flash after the macromedia acquisition was part of what got me into using haxe.

There seems to be a lot of competition these days for the coveted title of 51st state.

If there were pure anarchy, I'd give it less than ten minutes before someone sets up a state. States are ideas, and are as hard to get rid of as anything from Pandoras box. You cannot truly ban things, you can only ever hope to make them te

If there were no law, people with guns would make laws and enforce them. Without the government, the people with the most guns are likely to be companies as they already have the manufacture sorted. All the ideas of trying to bring about an

That is nothing to boast about, given that high entropy data is just noise.

That is a ludicrous suggestion. Even hard line soviets weren't that materialistic about education.

Fair enough, but in that case why comment on the articles if you haven't looked at them?

Did you watch the movie clip at the beginning of the article dealing with how to sell real estate? The aggression of the character played by Baldwin towards his staff is exactly the kind of culture that seems to produce people like the agen

I am just basing this view on the Sony vs Universal and Grokster vs MGM trials, which were both civil. Admittedly there is a legal argument that could be made for criminal vicarious liability, however from my understanding, that is usually

I went to look at a flat and it turned out that the agent had booked someone else at the same time to view the flat and then tried to turn it into an unpleasant contest for who could be the first to bring him a deposit, even going as far as

What is your position then? As you seem to be just criticising other people's positions without putting forward what you actually think the situation is. If your position is just that we just don't completely know the situation, then that i

Sounds like a good contribution. They might start a little library in there.

I really don't think anarchy is something you vote for. Is more like the base state that exists already, as long as you can reliably avoid the people in silly hats. And how are you going to eliminate corporations if you have anarchy? You wo

What's the point of laying down fiber if in 10 years we can get wireless at the same speed? Sunspots.

You appear to be arguing that local cultural factors when growing up are not responsible for the vast majority of differences in individual cultural behaviour when compared to genetic differences. From this it would seem safe to assume that

For one thing I never said same, I said similar. I think that the evidence strongly supports the notion that the differences between large populations is generally miniscule when compared to the differences within those populations and that

Where would you put on this map those places that offer free university tuition then?

Yep, that is true, but there is no crime of enabling copyright infringement for profit in either the US or New Zealand, as far as I am aware.

If he's not convicted in the Magaupload case, it will be ENTIRELY due to procedural errors on the part of the prosecution. That, and the fact that it isn't entirely clear how enabling copyright infringement is anything other than a civil

Chinese people are already angry and resentful about something, and then something sets them off. I could reply by pointing out similar behaviour in countries all over the world, it is a common human trait, not something that is somehow p

You'll get what I mean. Oh, don't worry, I get what you mean. You may be incoherent, but you are far from subtle.

by ktizo 14y ago
So, you are saying the Chinese have a mob mentality, and that these people don't know what they are rioting about, are not actually rioting at all and are not all acting the same. I am trying to work out whether you are more of a bigot tha

You have no point. The term wage slave has been around since the industrial revolution and has a very well understood meaning.

Also when we outsource jobs to other countries, presumably given that the point of doing so is that they have a lower cost of living, therefore the company saves money. So presumably they could be paid and treated really well and would stil

They should call it TeraUpload. Not only would the headlines be great, but also the server instances could then be called tera-cells.

In Thailand you could be imprisoned if anything you say can be misconstrued as a criticism of the King. I've heard that is also true in Memphis.

Go start a non-trivial business and then tell me what you think about government. How non-trivial would you like? Many of the really non-trivial business ventures in history were started and run by governments at first, as they were simpl
