Car computer

|

Technically any four stroke gasoline engine is a mechanical computer as its has a cam shaft that drives valves that are timed to do a specific program of opening and closing at controlled times.

All computers run programs – mechanical computers use cam shafts while electronic computers use programs stored in some form of electronic memory. Outside of internal combustion engines, cam shafts are increasingly rare and even inside of modern cars cam shafts don’t really exist in the traditional way.

Intellectual Property Laws are Holding America Back

Maybe I’m a socialist but I think any product that is infinitely divisible and whose use and enjoyment doesn’t impact the use and enjoyment of others should be in the public domain.

Markets are useful for allocation of scarce resources but are immoral and unjust for allocation of things that are not scarce and do not get used up.

Rather than relying on private sector funding for research and development of technology, it should be government funded with the results of government research put out there for all to use without charge.

Obviously, in such a system not only would the government fund innovation but so would charitable organizations and those who just come up with good ideas to serve the advancement of humanity.

I would repeal all patent and copyright laws. I believe that would encourage all innovation to be widely shared and premoted in the public interest rather than private business interests.

Podcast Addict Sharing

I’ve run Podcast Addict on my phone for half a decade now. Before then I downloaded podcasts from the internet. But only today did I discover how easy it is to share podcasts I like using Podcast Addict on my blog. I’ll have to share more podcasts that I like with you.
