Niggy Tardust was a collaboration wasn't it? A lot of people probably downloaded it to see how good it was. However, $141,000 is still a hefty amount. It would be nice if it were closer to $700,000 but I think it's good enough to live on an

I dislike how it says "if anybody stole it". Piracy isn't stealing, it's copyright infringement. I'm still curious about the bandwidth costs. 110, 000 people is 110, 000 gigabytes which is 110 Tb of bandwidth. How much does that cost?? Also

That isn't violent. It's just a quick shorthand to express an intense dislike of corporations and capitalism without bothering to write a paragraph about it :D What's so violent about that?

The torrent includes a link to the "BUY THIS VIDEO" page. I paid for the video and didn't download it from his website. I would be interested in knowing what the bandwidth costs for Louis C.K. are since the video was around 1GB. The number

This was a pretty good post. I would add that if you can't figure out how to beat out the competition and if you can't get much traction but already have a code base, you should make it free software. Release it under the AGPL or GPL. Might

Unfortunately, the better UI doesn't mean a better product. Working with Magento for example has been a pain in different ways. It sure does look pretty though even when you're debugging things! ;-)

If you're using SSH, you should check out Monkeysphere: http://web.monkeysphere.info/ It allows for the use of OpenGPG keys. There's also a web component so your website can use it! However it only has a FIrefox/IceWeasel plugin for now.

No comments yet about how government agencies don't like being made to look like fools? Nothing about how the FBI seized his computer for pointing out a flaw that makes the millions spent on homeland security look like a gigantic waste?

I'd feel more threatened by incompetent management and by manegement that sees workers as replaceable things. The bottom of the barrell programmers that are hired could be much better if there were training programs and they wouldn't be und

Which makes it even more important that alternative organizations be created that produce what we need. All you're saying is that capitalism has taken over pretty much everything and enforced particular hierarchies and relations upon us. Yo

I apologize if I seem harsh in my comments regarding this subject. The practical applications will be abused. There are already projects by the CIA and NSA to massively monitor various communications platforms. The datamining isn't of only

It does make them stupid when they don't consider how much harm has been caused by people helping the government or law enforcement to implement things that cross ethical and moral lines.

No I was talking about making software and giving access to spies such as the government. I think programmers should consider the privacy and ethical implications of whatever they create.

That's fucked up. This is precisely why, if you have any ounce of morality or ethics left in your body, you shouldn't develop any technology for use by governments or law enforcement. The potential for abuse is large and x-raying like this

The ideology that you subscribe to is capitalism which says that markets and profits rule. Your ideology is in line with law enforcements. My objections are of course ideologically because I'm opposed to the ideology of capitalism. You cann

It's funny because they could be co-operating instead of competing and be making much more money by targeting different markets.

That's a stupid idea; helping law enforcement do their jobs. THey have large budgets, they can figure this shit out on their own and there's no need to help them oppress your fellow human. Drug laws in most countries are insanely stupid whe

Do you realize how much funding law enforcement agencies around the world get? They can do their own damn jobs.

In opensource code, you would have decentralized servers run by various groups that may or may not accept "cheating" (cheating is just a different set of game rules). You could have peers validate the game rule set for each of their peers a

You should look up state-planned housing and in general, socialist , communist and anarchist ideas. I think the communists hit a dead end with their ideas of the state controlling everything while the anarchists have alternative ideas (whic

I think the multi-license model does work with RMS's views, it's just that you have to make sure that you're selling the same software; the GPL version cannot be limited or treated as trial software. Using a proprietary license for business

Basically we need socialism. Everyone should be guaranteed a standard of living (including a house and food) at a certain level that will increase as our productivity increases. The freeloader "problem" won't be seen as a problem. We should

Who cares! It's time for a free/opensource firmware and operating system you can flash into the ROM of any and all phones. The phone manufacturers, the software makers and the carriers have proven hostile to consumers, there's no reason
