Yes except the human factor of always wanting to be paid. I believe that some people can be altruistic some of the time, but no where was there ever a volunteer police department and I don't really want a police force made up of people that want to be cops badly enough to do it without pay. That's like not paying politicians to keep them incorruptible?

How do you replicate a road. Who will put that road where you want it. There is quite a lot of infrastructure that your replicator doesn't solve. Why would the police keep working and risking their lives if you have nothing they need? You need some coin. It sounds like in your world the only coin left is sex. Ya gonna blow the whole fire department once a week to keep them on the job?

You are not making any sense. You obviously have never had to earn a paycheck. Even if you only need energy to replicate things that has to come from somewhere.

Ok so you like the socialist idea of firemen. Why would they risk their lives putting out the fire in your house. I don't know many firemen that put out fires as a hobby. I assume they have replicators too and don't need anything you have. What coin will you use to get these altruistic geniuses to put out your fire?

You are a genius????

Who controls replicator distribution, who makes the roads that your cars and whatnot drive on. What if your house catches fire and who pays the doctor and how do you pay the doctor? Think about it genius.

You don't even understand the premise of the replicators and how they're supposed to work. Read the previous posts again.
Yes I do quite well, but I'm assuming real world functioning where energy is required and raw materials are required. If only energy is required that still has to come from somewhere.

No.
Yes

1) I run Linux and therefore it is illegal to have a FLOSS piece that can playback some DVD's and most Bluray discs. Ripping takes too much time so... Well then, you fscking retarted industry... If you don't like me to have legal playback so I can become a customer than I'll just FSCKING DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE?!?!

The stupidity of this statement is beyond the pale but I'll tackle it anyway.
You run Linux, therefore you don't use the commercial system that their product was designed to support. Ok this is a fact and indisputable.
There is no FLOSS(sic) program that lets you use the product that wasn't designed for your non commercial operating system. Also fact.
You are apparently too lazy to perform the first required illegal operation to enable you to use the aforementioned product. Not a fact but my assertion based on your statement.
There is no legal way to accomplish what you want given the three previous statements. Also fact
So in order to accommodate your laziness and refusal to buy the required products that would allow you to legally use the product you break the law. Also fact


At what point here do we develop sympathy for your plight. You sound like a lazy law breaking criminal to me. Since enforcement of the laws you are breaking is hard to accomplish you get away with it. We are supposed to infer from this that you are somehow rebelling against something that is an injustice?
What?

What? That post made no sense whatsoever. What has advent got to do with this whole subject, we aren't having a religious argument, oh wait maybe we are!

Without a major sea change in the way that society thinks and acts it would indeed grind to a halt. The education required to change our societies that much would require the entire world to first accept communism and socialism as the norm. Then when no production is required and no one needs to produce raw materials and no one needs to worry about being sued you might get to the point that you could make these replicators work. This ain't the Star Trek universe sadly.

Yeah, I wouldn't get in that thing until it was safety tested (That will cost a pretty penny). You can use open source designs for anything but the liability problem is uncertain. At least you could only sue the guy that built it, oh wait no you could sue anyone that put his name on the design. And then possibly tie the whole thing up in some kind of litigation until it was no longer relevant.

You assume that energy is also free and easy to get. Unless you think that the raw materials mine and gather themselves. Somebody somewhere needs to get paid. TANSTAFL

assuming you paid for the energy, the designer of the car etc. for his time and the company for their safety testing and advertising you would be welcome to do just that.

If you don't think it's very good, don't watch it period. If you watch it anyway and say, wow I'm glad I didn't pay for that you are still in the wrong.
