I might have a little more faith in your comments if it wasn't from a brand new user account created just to defend their position in this article, combine that with lots of comments parroting much of what they say on their website makes me even more convinced they are a scam. I really hope I am wrong as the world really does need cheap clean power, but your comments are only reinforcing my view of it, especially when you parrot many of the incorrect claims on how investment funding works.

you have fallen for there bullshit marketing blurb hook line and sinker. That is NOT how venture capitalists invest at all, in fact it is exactly the opposite of the way they work, They never put all there eggs in one basket and they weigh up the potential returns verses the risk and investment costs, any successful one also knows when to cut losses and switch horses at a moments notice (don't throw good money after bad if a new horse has arrived on the scene). Given the absolutely massive returns here and very low entry bar the only logical conclusion is they are a complete scam that doesn't hold up to even the most basic of scrutiny that is required by most investors or they would be having investors fighting over each other to get in on the deal. the whole thing seems to be targeted at suckering the uneducated out of there money.

shush this looks wonderful. I have not heard of such an excellent scheme to divorce fools of their money for weeks now. seriously the only think that shocks me more is that they are still finding fools to con into this thing. They have been flogging this crap for 5 or 6 years and they still expect people to believe they have found the magic bullet that they refuse to show anyone proof of because someone will steal it and they simply can't find anyone in the world willing to make billions and billions by investing in them so they must resort to crowdfunding. But I guess people still fall for the Nigerian scammers and mysterious lotto winnings when you didn't even enter a lotto, sometimes the stupidity of some parts of humanity scare me almost as much as pricks like these that like taking them for a ride.

replying to myself with more info!
I have been running windows 7 embedded of bootable USB media for years now. makes for an excellent portable system with all my tools for fixing family windows machines on them. You can also manually create Windows 2 Go with win 8 pro manually so it doesn't have to be enterprise version (or at least you used to be able to, have not done that for a while).

It actually reminds me of religious missionaries. Tell a church there are starving people with no food or water, serious medical problems, no technology or internet or religion and all they hear is "what they haven't found god yet, we better fix that so they can die in peace", I.T. people are sadly similar, rather than fix the underlying economic and poverty conditions they see the "no technology or internet" as the key thing that needs addressing.

Comment pointless? (Score 5, Insightful) 201

Perhaps it is just me, but I fail to see any benefit to this whatsoever. seems completely pointless, everything from windows to many distros of linux already can run on a USB stick and a USB stick doesn't solve the problem of internet access, a computer or more importantly the food and water they lack. I guess at least it gives them something to sell at the markets for a couple of bucks to buy something useful.

hardly a fair comparison.The argument here is actually quite valid, Black Cabs and cab drivers have significant government license, knowledge and regulations imposed on them which are quite expensive I understand. If Uber are bypassing those requirements then they are operating at a considerable cost advantage that no matter how good Black Cabs operate will not be able to compete price wise. I am not from the UK but having travelled to London I do find it rather nice getting in a Black Cab and actually having a driver that knows where he is going. When travelling to the US I have gotten in Cabs in Seattle and San Fran where I have had to give the driver directions from the Airport to major hotels.

That is exactly what we have now, it sucks balls. It means to get one channel (popular or unpopular) you end up forking over ridiculous amounts to fund channels you have no interest in. Late last year I cancelled my subscription because of this horrific system. I had around 100 channels of which 12 I really wanted. however the cheapest options saw me paying for in excess of 100 channels at over $120 a month. So now they get nothing from me even though I would actually like some of it.

you don't have a clue. Most companies are not bringing in H1B's to save money, they do it to fill skill gaps, money is generally a secondary concern in these situations and it is common for these positions to actually be costing them significantly more than what an equivalent non visa applicant would have cost them had they been able to find one.
