Interesting Editorial

[simon275]

Here is a interesting and funny editorial article I was reading at part of my assignment for university which is an essay on the ethics of programming. Though some of you could relate to this or find it interesting.

It puts a lot of things into a different perspective... such as how the music industry/industries have been keeping many bands that I like in near poverty... wow... what jerks. I'd rather not pirate stuff, because if I get caught, I'd most likely have to pay a few million bucks to some morons that I was trying to "stick it" to in the first place... that and I like having an original copy of it anyway, lol.

Wow... I'm reading this article... and I have lots of input and commentary.

It's a big article, and I'm in the middle of a quasi-rushed day at work, but, initial impressions:::

Besides gutting a beautiful and immersive story, such as the Fallout series provides us with, Interplay withheld their money to their employees. Capitalism at its finest: "Let our bosses get rich! Poverty seems so much better to wallow in!"
I'm sorry, but that is NOT capitalism at it's finest.
That's not capitalism, really.


Let our bosses get rich! Poverty seems so much better to wallow in!
BS.
Capitalism at it's finest: I will become my own boss! I will get rich!
Poverty really sucks!
I don't want to wallow in it.
And this capitalist economy allows me to follow my dreams!

Now, that is capitalism.

In any case, I'll keep reading and commenting.
Thanks for the link Simon.

This is a touchy subject, but I'm very interested as to the intelligent discussions that will ensue between our fine members. :)

@AJ, I think the author was just being sarcastic, lol. I saw a lot of that in there.
