PetoKrausbecause if you don't have any body supervising, eg, education of people, someone will sell people inferior education, just because it's cheaperNov 25 00:14
schestowitzLike "democracy"Nov 25 00:14
schestowitzOf which I know noneNov 25 00:15
PetoKrausI don't knowNov 25 00:15

schestowitz<schestowitz> Oh, he's goneNov 25 00:16
PetoKrausanyway, it's not really importantNov 25 00:16
PetoKrausi think, personally, that there are few things which should be supervised by somethingNov 25 00:16
PetoKrauswe tend to call it stateNov 25 00:17
schestowitzBy whom?Nov 25 00:17
schestowitzAnd how?Nov 25 00:17
PetoKrauswell, that's the question - deploying effective mechanisms...Nov 25 00:17
schestowitzWho watches the state?Nov 25 00:17
PetoKrausbut you need quality assurance in areas like Education, HealthNov 25 00:17
schestowitzThey tried many things... some more successful than others...Nov 25 00:17
seller_liarschestowitz: And my book will be the real solution for this worldNov 25 00:17

schestowitzText is a tricky thing.Nov 25 00:19
schestowitzPeople are lazyNov 25 00:19
schestowitzThat's why papers are dying... dropping like fliesNov 25 00:19
PetoKrausthen there's this problem.... how to develop a system, where government would have power over businesses to define rules of the game, where government itself would work transparently, where there would be no chance that couple of people will be able to "subvert" the governmentNov 25 00:19
schestowitzIt's a society of 30-second ads and quickie thinking.Nov 25 00:20
schestowitzEven music albums are rarely sold... just singles.Nov 25 00:20
PetoKrausschestowitz: well it dependsNov 25 00:20
PetoKrauson your business model ;)Nov 25 00:20
schestowitzPetoKraus: that's what the US contitution was for, I think.Nov 25 00:20

seller_liarSome people know about freedom, but They are not convinced about freedomNov 25 00:34
schestowitzHow do you 'tap' people?Nov 25 00:34
schestowitzSee, what's difficult is not just addressing the curious, which is a 'niche'Nov 25 00:34
seller_liarSome people try to change , but only a little can changeNov 25 00:34
schestowitzA lot of people just follow the stream BECAUSE they are taught not to diverse.Nov 25 00:34
schestowitzThere is a lot of peer pressure that's being instilled in people's minds and reinforced through peers to suppress or preventing independent thinking.Nov 25 00:35

seller_liarRemember ,the system does not guarantee thisNov 25 00:36

twitterSomeone said, "curriculum for sale" and someone else was laughing at his libertarian friendsNov 25 01:27
schestowitzOh, I see....Nov 25 01:28
twitterKonq has an ad blocker, by the way.  You have to build a list of image servers by right clicking on the obnoxious ones.  You can undo it later through a manager if you like.Nov 25 01:28
twittergnash is now my favorite ad block.Nov 25 01:29
twitterNothing plays till you press "play"Nov 25 01:29
twitterKonq's image blocker config also is easy to add to, so you can share lists of servers with your friends.Nov 25 01:30

schestowitzI suppose YouTube works fully with Flash. It's the only think the blob is needed for.Nov 25 01:33
twitterIt's hit and miss still.  Bandwith is so bad with my ISP that I prefer clive.  I wonder if Cox is already doing "management" for YouTube.Nov 25 01:34
twitterThe actual flash player works a little better when we look at Saturday night live, but even that skips.Nov 25 01:35
twitterI have to make a right click button for clive one day.Nov 25 01:35

PetoKrauswell, yesNov 25 11:28
MinceRpeople routinely take bigger risks than thatNov 25 11:28
PetoKrauswhat i don't like about the benchmark, though, is, that they used V8 benchmark for all of the browsersNov 25 11:29

mib_3t928jI am also against the people or corporate who are against free software, BUTNov 25 15:45
mib_3t928jnovell boycott in confernce for a self advertisementNov 25 15:46
wispyi think free software promotes more creativity since it's not controlled by one companyNov 25 15:46
wispymore people are involved, so there will be more ideas floating aroundNov 25 15:46
wispyhmmm true, mibNov 25 15:46
