   While I think it would be nice if community changes make it upstream so the government can benifit from the changes this is not the motivating factor. The motivating factor in my mind is that taxpayers paid for the code they should have the

   Based on my experience as a government contractor I have to say I think the government taking taxpayers money and funding open source infrastructure would be a terrible idea. What the government should do however is release all software it

    I have been thinking of building an online marketplace called "unplaningobsolescence.com" that would only sell products with 10yr+ warranties but I haven't had the time. P.S. yes I know that would be a terrible url for a onli

    Can anyone comment with regards to Mike's statment about bitcoins current fees being higher then cc fees. What is the driving factor behind this? Does the cost of mining directly raise the fees?

    I think you are confusing bitcoin exchanges with bitcoin mining pools. 2 mining pools have 52% of the hashing power and a responsible for "producing" bitcoins. The exchanges are basically just places to buy and sell bitcoins. With

    I am confused as to what you are referring to? I am not deeply involved with Bitcoin and I don't live in the valley so maybe I am missing something. The only real view I have noticed people universally share in the bitcoin scene seems

    I am under the understanding that if you don't want your code to be used in proprietary projects then you should not post it on SO. I could be wrong though. I also think you could get around this by link to your code hosted elsewhere b

    Surely if happens all the time you can give us some links to the offending articles and explain how they fall victim to Simpsons pardox or other logical errors... I promise to actually read them.

    Really you demand a citation and then it's given you dismiss immediately while also admitting you won't even bother reading it because it doesn't support your view. Why did you even ask?

    I agree with your overall point but why is defense a bad example? Defense systems benifit a great deal from advancements in science.

    I don't agree with the GP view that the government does not have a role in the future of space. However as an employee in the government sector I can confirm that the stereotype of an inefficient organization is true. It's more th

    While I am simptethic to the notion that social "POLICY" should not be set by logical arguments alone. Social "SCIENCE" is another animal and logic and sound science is the only way to understand reality. How can we hope
