Give me an example of an unrestricted socialist economy that has thrived. Go ahead, I can wait.
You missed the point. You cannot say things like "understricted socialism" because socialism is an ideology and not its implementation.
Can this technology be applied to food, please? using a 3D printer, maybe.
If you want to eat paper, glue, and some coloring agent, sure.
I'm sure the builder of the strawberry tree is wealthy in order to provide this service for free. And the fool is probably feeling all warm inside, thinking he helps humanity.
RTFA. It's a government-run University.
I can't do anything but cry foul that the scientists produce research paper and give them away but the journals charge an arm and a leg for me to access it.
You have to be aware that University of Belgrade is government-funded. It's not a private university. I don't see any reason a private university would give their research papers for free, but a government-run university has an obligation to release their research paper because the citizens pay them to do the research to begin with.
If I said I gave it away because it benefits others and makes me feel good about myself, I'd also expect that to be considered a valid reason; it's the reason most people give gifts - they enjoy the reaction of the recipient.
The reason I don't agree with the reason they quote for releasing this product for free is that it's already been paid for by citizens. It wasn't free. It was paid for. So people who paid for it get to use it for free. I'm also glad they provided it for free, because too many things developed at the Belgrade University never gets into public hands despite being funded by the University (and therefore by taxpayer money).
Why everything has to be all about money, money, money?
It's a cultural issue. Some cultures worship money, and some don't.
Even if everything about the project would be free, it would not be unethical to ask a fee for providing this service. That's just smart business.
It's been paid for by the people with their tax money. So I think it's ok that it's free for the same people to use for free.
Unrestricted socialist government has been proven not to work as well.
There, FTFY
Ask him to visit the studio to check out the latest work, and let him be there for a while w/o protective gear your brother wears.
And evacuate the house once you're done cutting. Seal the house with a big concrete block, and move to another city. You know, like Chernobyl.
Combining these factors together you get an organization that is very resistance to change, except from the top.
Hardly even from top. With such groups, extraordinarily reactionary mindset comes as a bonus. As soon as the guy on the top makes a move that doesn't agree with the ideals of the whole group, he will be booted and replaced by and old-school leader.
So, where can I go to find these "traditional" individualists? All I see are a bunch of type-cast automatons who think they're an individual, just like everybody else, because their ego would take a staggering hit if they only realized just how programmable they truly are. It would totally destroy their fantasy that they are self-directed in any way or actually make their own decisions or control their own lives.
Resulting from, and not helping at all, the poor educational system, no doubt.
They all provide features that allow users to share content with other users. Legal paranoia says they need a license to do that.
Exactly. Plus Dropbox does add that it's to the extent they deem necessary to provide the services. IIRC, not everybody limits themselves in this way.
The case studies all use words like "secure", "MD5", "RSS feeds" and "encryption" to describe the security of The Cloud. I don't know about you, but that sounds damn secure to me! Some Clouds even use SSL and HTTP. That's rock solid in my book.
And there I was trying to make my service actually secure when all I needed to do was sprinkle our blurb with some secure-sounding keywords. Thanks for the tip.
Also keep in mind that in some cases, like in case of deviantArt, the license is time-limited to the duration of your usage of the service, which helps. I don't use Dropbox, so I don't know if that's the case with Dropbox. In some cases, it is not possible for service providers to time-limit the license, because the data may need to be available to other users after you leave.
