Also highjacking, everybody highjack.
So many questions come to life when talking about new, free, HD Players
on open source flash.
Long time since, sorry for generalizing, 3 so crisp big word opinions
about open source where mingled. (quite often blackwhite).
But isn't free and anarchy similar to right while Nazism and Communism
is similar to left?
Open source 5678...

I really like this subject ;)
I am not sure if a
society that has everything for free can survive for long. You get
everything you want, why work? Very few would even want to excel
because their excelling at something won't have a direct impact on
their lives (except some pats on the back).
In my understanding of a free and open society, at least one that's based on
resources as opposed to money, all the basic necessities of life are
provided for through modular, sustainable compounds. The people that would
work at these compounds would do so for the benefit of the community. Had
everyone decided to space out all day every day and never contribute to
society, the society would fail and everybody's standard of living falls. So
the drive to succeed and excel would be to directly affect the quality of
life of everyone in your community, as opposed to simply you and your
family's lives. The barter system would hold up as a necessity, "You have
lot's of energy but no means to produce iron? Here is some iron, we have too
much. Please give us some energy, we have a deficit in that department."
Hoarding resources as wealth hurts society as a whole in this situation [and
probably does in our respective societies as well] but since there is no
monetary value applied to such resources, hoarding is unnattractive due to
the demurrage incurred. Resources tend to degrade as they sit unused, making
them less valuable. I think the real problem or downside is that these
systems are really vulnerable to violence, warlords, etc. There's no budget
for a military here and it seems likely that outside forces would be very
interested in your resources. But I think humans are smart enough to work
out a successful system, we'd just need to dedicate some time to it, but who
has time? I don't.
I agree open sourcing HD players would bring us all a *big* step
further on the path to a perfect society.

Clement Godwin and Schell you are crazy
tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Sounds like old school politics, GPL and shit. Everything is not Linux.
I heard Bill Gates was in Africa and a psychology scientist here in
Gothenburg told me he visited San Fransisco and they almost voted for
the police to wear clown suits.
Is that true?
Viva San Fransisco and Happy New Year Adobe!
Finally rapping from a keyboard (hate it) but...
Why do you have to include Itunes when automagically upgrading
Quicktime? (Warning Apple and Itunes renames your files :( )
Why is Hip Hop and Ragga so hard nowadays?
Or is it ?
Or is it just the truth?
