I fail to see why this is a problem.

We see a lot of politicians and people in the corporate world that equate corporatization of something with "making it better."

Gates has always had corporatization in his foundation deals. It's probably happening here, too.

Did you jump the rails? Are we talking about H1-Bs again?

> Overpopulation is sooo last generation-but-one's issue.

Bullshit. We are only making enough food for the population because of chemical tricks. If we didn't have chemical fertilizers we would be starving right now.

Science played a trick and it bought us a hell of a lot of time, but it is still an issue. And all that ammonia runoff certainly has caused sea dead zones.

There is no lobbying group out there with the $$$$ to get that through, and nothing is happening in any area of law or regulation is happening unless there is a lobbying group that will pay for it.

In Indiana, we have the opposite happening. We have a law that was just barely was killed that would have basically taxed solar to hell and we have a couple of counties that have made wind power ILLEGAL due to bogus health claims, but it's all a fig leaf for other types of energy companies that have more money to put in legislators pockets.

Just looking at the subject I was going to say very high grade film. It seems like you came to the same conclusion. You already have the reasons down.

The reason is that it will be obvious to anyone that sees it what it is and how to "decode" it. You can't say the same of any codec or digital representation. You could provide instructions about how the digital encoding works and still fail.

I guess you could provide digital media and a way to play it, but that still seems to be a roll of dice on whether it will work. However someone can take a reel of film, put it under a magnifying glass, and SEE images.

Just $.02

So, Dice, are you fearful?

I'm not... why isn't H1-B scams listed as a reason?

And don't say anything about Father corporation?

Really.. fuck US corporate culture.

You are talking about two parts of the same country. Except in Alabama there is general agreement that the Full Faith and Credit Clause is valid.

Countries refuse to extradite people to other countries every day for political reasons. Dozens of countries won't extradite to the US because of capitol punishment. So I am not sure how your example fits. The US doesn't need to extradite to other countries if it feels like civil rights are going to be taken away.

Truth used to be an affirmative defense. We're getting away from that.

And separation of corporations from the state.

Spock ended up being combined with the character of "Number One" after the first pilot. In "The Cage" Spock wasn't an emotionless alien. The female second in command was the one that was considered cold and emotionless. When the network wouldn't allow a female commander then that character was removed and her traits given to Spock.

upwards.

Just fine in bigass-corporate-company land, but the world is bigger than that. A huge amount of US economic activity is in small business, and how many of those have competent IT? This will be a possible opening of a lot of companies for a long time.
