sounds me like a plane filled of people who need money. you would be better off with having funding than having to spend time doing socializing with people you need money from, then you could be doing the whatever it is that your system does.

anyways. AFUCKING MOBILE DAAAAAAAAAANCE LAB for SCIENCE!?!#!O)=)!=R?

what the fuck.

There is no "on a computer" exemption

Yes there is! It's the same as the "copyright doesn't apply on the Internet" rule.

actually that rule is the other way around - even if it wouldn't apply as criminal if you did it in real life it sure as fuck will count if you do it online(copying cassette for a friend vs. sending it as mp3).

well it would be simple if the code had to be distributed through the server you're getting the page from.

it wouldn't fix anything though, it would just make it standard practice that there would be server side injections of the stuff. which would be better anyhow, even if it would make adblocking harder if it was implemented.

what's so distributed about identica and what's so good about pumping your updates to everyone on the distributed network? or plenty of key exchanging.

more to the point has someone done a distributed tor like social network with client side encryptions and easy key exchanges for adding new friends? like, is there anything we could move on to then..

They'll have to show a warrant first.

if they have reason to suspect you're going to dump the money down the drain, no they don't need to show a warrant first. and if they have visual id, then they can get the warrant anyways(after they forget telling the judge that you were just one of 1000 potential matches in the state).

Oh bullshit. The US is the #1 manufacturing country on the planet, or damn close to it.

In terms of worker productivity it isn't close. The average US worker produces almost 10 times as much value as the average Chinese worker.

well..
you use a lot of the produce. that production isn't at risk by the chinese. but it's not leaving the USA that much either.
which is also a bit why you shouldn't be that worried about the current situation as it is amassing wealth(physical goods!) into usa. if you default on the debts to china or whoever you end up with the net gain of physical stuff.

but I guess my original point was aimed more at stealing yer seeeecreeeets. look, if I can't buy an american made cisco router anyhow what the fuck does it matter if I buy a huawei? what does it matter for usa if they're stealing manufacturing secrets from ford when ford should really be worried about them stealing manufacturing secrets from VAG, like ford should be doing? if I couldn't buy an american made iPhone even if I tried what does it matter for usual american if I buy a chinese android pos phone? chances are even if I bought a ford it would be made in germany! If I wanted to buy American made high tech I'd have to buy a weber grill or a leatherman. I don't think the room I am in has _anything_ with a made in USA stamp on it(_some_ of the souvenirs might be - but just might).

OK, I thought of one thing that's assembled in USA, the makerbot replicator I got here - but I don't think any of it's parts were made in USA and certainly not the only certified part of it(the psu) - electronics on it certainly aren't american and neither are the stepper motors(arduino based electronics aren't exactly high tech anyways).

You mean like Maker Faire?

no.. in maker faire you're supposed to learn about what's available for making stuff and meet other people who make stuff(so I've heard).
this is more like human asteroids and flashy lights.

kind of how you could go to an orgy(in theory) or a striptease joint(this).

some parts suppliers expo vs. e3(this). the trailer looks cool and all but dunno where's the science and education part(well that part is some science fair type compo).

Even bytes get lonely for a little bit.
