I've heard many stories of successful municipality competitors to major ISPs, but they got sued because the state should not be allowed to compete with monopolies. In fact no one can compete with monopolies because they are the ones who can afford legislation to write the rules. You have more than one problem here. One: The politicians are corrupt because of campaign contributions makes them bribed and in someone's pocket (or they won't get elected). Two: You have a system with no competition.

It is the vast popular opinion of the people that they want Network Neutrality. The monopolistic corporations however feel that extortion of websites to pay up or get slowed down should be legal. The question isn't whether campaign contributions corrupt a democracy because we're all finding it that bribing politicians shouldn't be legal like it is. The question is,"Just how far do the people with all the money want to screw things up?"

I'm trusting in my Bro in Heaven to not only let me live forever, but for there to be no suffering, all my loved ones to be there, and some epic immersive video games. You gotta think that he's the most creative force. He could make us each captain of a star ship to explore a universe more populated with better situations than you see Earthly writers come up with. Of course, any fantasy we can imagine will be lesser than what God has in store for us in Heaven. God wants to fulfill our desires more than we know how to put in words. All he asks is that down here on Earth that we do good to everyone and love them, helping the people in bad situations.

I've talked with hundreds of recruiters in the past 11 years. They've only managed to get me two or three interviews. And from what I hear from my friend who hires, recruiters try and throw something out of control on top your salary like 25%. So in the rare situation they do get you an interview, it is even more rare they can get you a job. The only sane approach to getting hired is to apply directly to companies.

There is a limit on how many CC a gasoline powered bicycle's engine can be just because of random laws in the USA. If you look to China, a great deal of people get around cheaply on a bicycle with gasoline powered engines. But we can't, because we have laws. Now if you turn your bicycle electric, it will be heavier, more inefficient, but there are no ways of measuring how many CC an electric motor has ^^. Voila, sneak around the laws, and maybe you have a market for this.

We'll give you Free Broadband at the lowest tier, feel free to pay for fast lanes later.

And since we're grateful enough to get more business, you need to legalize extortion if we do it.

Deal?

Econ 101: If you increase demand for something, price goes up. When people got access to "free money", more demand happens for 2ndary education, so the price just inflates to match it.

Peddling debt to minors is illegal, as should catching them right into their first steps of adulthood. It should be illegal to allow kids to go into debt until they're at least 21, maybe 23.

I was just speaking for myself. Obviously people watch CBS. They need to determine if they make more revenue on 6$/month or free to watch + commercials. I tend to think it would be the latter.

What they put on television isn't worth watching even without commercials. The only way you're getting me watching CBS is if they pay me. And they could if they worked their business model out to share half the advertising revenue with the watcher. Sure it'd be very tricky in technical details to make sure someone is watching and not just spawning a bunch of processes, but advertising where you share revenue with your viewers could be done. Some fringe video game sites are doing stuff like this already.

An ap for education could be:
For starters: You basically make an interactive math work book. The tricky part is evaluating where your student is making mistakes and instruct them to their errors and the correct way to do it.

I've always been interested in AI and how it could teach future generations, but I realized that we don't need AI to make good educational work book style aps. Another thing to do is to place your user's level of competence, so they don't all start with ABCs and counting. Some people who failed out of highschool would love to sit down and be educated. There are websites that do this to a degree, but since everything is in its infancy, now's the time to make an all inclusive ap. It'd take a long time to code, but if you could market it when it is new and teaches some stuff, you could have revenue to push you through it.

The long vision is that if you educate people, they might eventually be your doctor down the road or a disease researcher. The more educated minds we have in this world, the better society is. Also countries with poor education are all getting cell phones now. As cell phone prices go down, they'll eventually all have smart phones. You might be the best teacher some poor African kid gets... And if that kid was really driven to learn on your ap, he could become a great mind. The key is that someone needs to sit down and make really good educational aps. Or maybe the MOOC universities will get organized and come to cell phones...

The future looks bright in technology. Now only if we could all learn to love each other so we wouldn't have wars.

Its just a rotten form of pork, and rent will just go up to compensate.

I remember back in the 80s with Apple IIes everywhere. I liked my c64 at home, but Apple IIe were maybe the first computer some kids could put their hands on. Since I was just a kid, I didn't appreciate that at the time. So instead of being a mentor to lift other people up in their computer skills, I just wanted to play what little games there were and program little programs. I think a lot of us might have so much computer skills in relation to others that we don't give a first thought to just hosting a class in the local library. I'm sure a lot of us could help people not get scammed as easily on the Internet at least. Or maybe someone could make aps for education.

I waxed philosophical on maybe we should teach more over just using ourselves, but Apple has a long history of donating tons of computers. Whether or not you think it was a smart move to invest in their own future, it definitely put computers in kids hands who maybe never touched one before.

There are many different theologies on Creationism. Some of which have no problem with evolution or an older universe. Arguing one as being correct and the others wrong isn't a wise undertaking.

I think more people should focus on the love commandment from Jesus. Anyone can see that the world needs more love.

I've come up with many ideas on my own that others have made millions or billions on. The execution is the hard part. There's a quote from someone who eludes me that says,"If you're on the right track, but you're standing still, you'll be run over." The comforting thought you get when this happen is that you come up with good ideas.

My theory for coming up with good ideas is simple. Look at new technologies, and try and apply them to the world. Look at a lot of the first electrical devices, they're just an application of applying spinning motion to a tool creatively. The Internet when it first started getting released to the public, a lot of people figured there would be graphical games, instant messaging, and online stores, but when it first came out, it didn't have those yet. You always look at a new technology and figure how it will change the world.

The Internet still has lots of applications to still be made that people haven't thought of. I think someone's eventually going to make a Real Estate application where anyone can list their place, and have a search for places, and they do the transaction on their own, with some way to confirm the transaction and only charge 200$ for the whole ordeal. So undercutting realtors could be a huge thing. No one has made an application that caught on as the defacto ap for listing your house as a flea market because if so, people could link to their smart phone when they're within X miles of one. There are probably new social media sites that haven't been made. One site I've been thinking of, but can't come up with how to do it right is for PC video gamers to register on to keep in touch with long lost teammates.

So the most common way to invent a new thing is think how new technologies can make life easier, but sometimes prayer works too. I have always been fascinated with AI since the 80s with the movie TRON and stuff. Everyone thought AI would be a computer algorithm go out of control maybe on networks to learn and use the memory. Other people thought AI would be when science invented a pseudo brain. Neither of these are viable ways to start an R&D project because you have no way to gauge progress towards success and failure is almost assured. So I asked God how to make AI. Instantly I thought of a computer that holds a world state in memory that it gathers in through cameras and sensors. Then it can identify the objects in the world, and interacting with them via goals is almost trivial once you have the data in mind since that's how sandbox video games work. I have an AI site here which shows the building of AI is doable for anyone who would be willing to fund a team Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if we had AI in 15-30 years if someone started now. I just thought it was cool that I came up with this AI algorithm instantly after praying for it.

Standardize your joystick API so us devs can make joystick games on ipad/iPhone. Joystick games on Android tablets is just taking off now, and might be a small portion of the market, but the people who do it like it. Anyone can see a touch screen is no way to play a reflex action game, the controls just aren't there.
