Morgan Stanley had to buy back all the stock to prevent it turning from Facebook into Faceplant. They'll have to sell it all over again.

1. Give them the money concept: The first people to completely meet the requirements get all the money plus interest. I would expect the goal to be some sort of working prototype for whatever it is they want to fund.

2. Invest the money in their company concept: The first people to meet the requirements get all the money plus interest in exchange for a minority stake of non voting stock. This is how to encourage people to hand their "crowdsourced" money over.

i.e. They have to already have something more than an idea, to get the cash. Ideas are worthless, everyone and their dog has The Great Idea. The global supply of ideas is huge. The supply of people taking it beyond that and doing something with it is scarce and that is what is worth funding.

Good point! Apple and Microsoft will be happy to fund the legislation.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

The hypothesis being for example; Some fish in the human food chain is heavily contaminated by pollution from Fukushima.

That the pollution will mix and spread out evenly over the ocean... That really depends on mixing effectiveness.

There's still oil. You're not getting independence.

You require people by law to retain all comm for N years on their own machines at their own expense. You require them by law to install a tool which indexes and reports the info back to the command center. You make versions available for Windows and Mac.

Then you just imprison anyone who doesn't comply (terrorists). Problem solved.

We need a good war. Kill a few million and there's more money left for the survivors to pay for the credit bubble. We can't have creditors losing their investments, getting wiped out. Gotta keep those zombies walking.
 

Do they have anything? No. This is vapour ware. Someone has written a research proposal which lets him spend his life watching Stargate.

No? You must be one of the lucky ones without oil.

You should of course have used LMGTFY. Let me show you.

Yeah, I'll be turning that on.

or community.

1. You got a gun.. At home so the next burglar can get it as well as the rest of your stuff when you're both out at work again?
2. Dog, what do you do, leave it tied up at home all day alone? Dogs are pack animals it'll end up insane.
3. You will get burgled again, just after the insurance pays out. You're now on a list which'll get passed around.
4. Upgrade your doors & windows. Those are the holes they'll be trying to get through.

Your cheapest security system are neighbours who also have an interest in not being burgled.

Taxed through inflation, income, sales taxes to pay wealthier people to put panels on their roofs. It's generally morally sickening, but no more sickening than the rest of the corruption.

That's purely because you are incapable of using Google.

This is what "the cloud" is all about. Why let people pay you once to own something when they can pay you forever to rent it?
