    money??

    do we really need money, could the world operate without it ?? what do you think would happen ??

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Not necessarily money, but we do need some form of compensation for services rendered. The barter system would probably be more fun. It would also bring up the quality of the goods if you had to beat out your neighbor to sell your vegies instead of everyone buying his!

    seriously though, one day we could have replicators like in star trek, and humans may not be so greedy, and rather work to improve themselves. hey, it could happen!

    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    The barter system.....

    I believe in the barter system... It worked for me!

    I will give you three goats, two pigs and a cow for your daughter!

    I've been married now for several years....
    I'm a misanthropic philanthropist!
