free no longer, the rise and fall of the new economy, something for nothing, history dooms those, wall street, producing nothing, 1/2 of 1% or whatever that minuscule fraction is, but the non-producers, makes me remember Ayn, and what happens when the shrug comes, but itools is now .mac, and something is for something instead of nothing, and why is that such a hard thing to grasp? why is paying money for a service, such a hard thing to grasp and deal with? i don't care it's a bait and switch, things change, no contract was signed, was there? i never read the fine print on those licenses, i always agree, but if you don't want to pay for something, don't, but don't go asking for it, don't go demanding free services, because something for nothing, is never good, it never lasts, although i question the postal service. i don't pay for that, but it's a government service, and paying taxes means i pay for that, but email? not a government service, which means i should pay for it, because it isn't mine, because someone else is doing the hard work keeping it running, and they deserve just compensation. always question free things. free ! always = good. |
