Comment Why would ANYBODY buy a TV that serves adverts? (Score 0) 122

To save a few bucks? Except you won't: you'll be converted, and waste far far more buying what the adverts sell. Maybe it's time for an open source TV OS, one based on Android that can be added to a standard set of hardware? That might not be feasible, I'm no expert, but it's a lovely idea.

Very simple: plant hemp as much as possible, everywhere possible. That takes care of nearly everything trees are cut down for. Hemp is perhaps the most useful plant on the planet. e.g. plastics, fuel, clothes, medicine, particle board, hempcrete, cleaning up toxic waste sites. Also, you can grow 4x the biomass as you can with trees. Next question?

Agree 100%, as this would mean that there's no point learning openings. Theory will still be important to understand, but plain rote learning could be released. What a waste of time and effort! Fischer was a raving lunatic in many regards, but this idea of his would be wonderful if implemented.
