You'll have to unzip it for it to work, as the zip contains a parent folder instead of directly containing the resources.</p>melladhThu, 12 Sep 2013 07:18:55 -0000http://nerdapproved.com/movies/the-turtle-saga-continues-are-they-even-going-to-be-teens/#comment-477387932<p>Maybe they'll be alien dinosaur turtles. And their shields come off to use as weapon shields in battle. And they're about Yoda's age. Maybe they're even the same species. </p>melladhTue, 27 Mar 2012 09:10:34 -0000http://plpatterns.com/post/55433565#comment-3199836<p>Overall very interesting, but I have thoughts about the slavery reference.</p><p>We have to work to make money, to afford to eat and live and all that. But a "free man" has to work to build shelter, hunt down food, and so forth. We just get to chose another way of spending our time, which we then exchange for a measure of it's virtual value, which we can then exchange for a home, and food, and so forth.</p><p>Now some people build their own software to sell, which means they have to be their own marketing, but they have more freedom in what to do with their software at the cost of giving up more time and effort. But they would still need to sell it to eat, and once the software is sold, (depending on whether you sell it as a service or a concept) the ideas may not belong to the purchasers, but the service sort of does.</p><p>The same way a hunter may find he needs clothes but is incapable of making it, so he sells what he has worked for in exchange for clothing, or something he in turn can exchange for clothing. The meat he has worked for does not belong to him, because he has exchanged it for something else - a monetary value in modern day terms.</p><p>So I don't believe the worker to be a slave. Our workforce is a service which we sell, in a field of our choice. We may not always be happy about the field we've ended up in, and sometimes we may find ourselves stuck somewhere to survive because the service we provide isn't wished for enough in the place we'd like to be - but we are still not slaves, in my view, because you are doing this in exchange for something.<br>Even if you may sometimes feel like one.</p>melladhTue, 21 Oct 2008 08:16:28 -0000
