Anarchy 30 is a modification with 30 pps (packets per seconds), instead of 12, which are the maximum for D3.

LEON

Where you at Behe? I haven't seen you for a while.

LEON

Ah, I see

No, I'm done D3editing, but thanks for the offer.

LEON

Sorry, no music. This level set is sort of amputated compared to my original idea for this campaign. I had 4 levels in mind, music, and a bit more complicated story and scripting. But I wasn't motivated to finish it according to the original intent, which would require a lot more work. I just took ...

LEON

Hi all. I hope some of you still play D3 singleplayer. I have just finished Escape, a 3 level (medium sized), singleplayer campaign, that I started to work on some years ago. Unfortunately I lost motivation to finish my levels back then, but, as I was about to trash my computer the other day, I didn ...

LEON

It's clear to me that you have mistaken lag and loss for cheating, and are now too proud to admit it and take the easiest way out "this is too advanced for you guys to understand"

LEON

Also, Voyager-1 has a gold plate with inscriptions on our position, let's hope we don't invite something nasty.

LEON

that Atlantic article is very good, Leon, however: 1. That whole scheme depends on very strong government intervention to maintain the rules, not true privatization 2. All similar attempts to control more wide-ranging species run afoul as soon as one or more nations fails to uphold the agreements ...

LEON

At Jeff250 I don't think one can privatize the air, at least I see no practical way that can be done. When I said property rights as a solution to air contamination, I meant that contaminated air drifting into one's property could be viewed as transgression, hence one could sue the offender ...

LEON

I made some small nuanced mistakes in my last post. It's been too hecktic at work today, I should stay off the board during my work day.

LEON

callmeslick, again, that's due to credit expansion (inflation), or like you say yourself "free capital", and has nothing to do with speculation itself. Credit expansion tend to flow into the speculative market and raise all prices (tide raises all boats), and attract even more people to speculate ...

LEON

by withholding oil production to force prices up. Not a problem for me, as oil is a BIT less necessary than food and water, but illustrative. Of course, once we treated petroleum as a commodity to be traded, we clever humans found other ways to push prices higher, and still maintain production ...

LEON

but, if the projections for available water supply showed that over a given time period, prices would likely treble, I am quite sure that the investment would be made,and production forestalled in order to maximize return. This may seem like the conservation of resources, but in reality is simply ...

LEON

Simple, if resources is not owned privately, everybody will hoard as much they can, thus run empty. ok, conceptually speaking, if resources WERE owned privately, why wouldn't everyone owning them hoard them in the near term, in an attempt to drive the point up? I'm speaking here of necessary ...

LEON

How many times must I mention The tragedy of the commons. What is privately owned is taken care off, what is collectively owned is not. You know, the idea of "tragedy of the commons" doesn't really support your points at all...in fact it basically undermines them. That concept involves the idea ...

LEON

Simple, if resources is not owned privately, everybody will hoard as much they can, thus run empty. no, it wouldn't, if well-managed centrally. This is where government comes in, as cited in the National Park example. Yes, that can theoretically work. However, one will run into the problem of ...

LEON

We have too many people who depend on the government to provide them with basic necessities to keep the government completely out of the procurement process. What do you mean? Do you talk about our current society, or any society, i.e. there's not possible to make a society whereupon the government ...

LEON

Simple, if resources is not owned privately, everybody will hoard as much they can, thus run empty.

Same if the state try to impose a price sealing, same hoarding will occur, and we will suffer a shortage.

Free prices and private property make sure we have enough resources.

LEON

I have never claimed that the government can't do something good in their attempt to save the environment. Question is compared to what, and how will it work in the long run? I gave an example, Communist Soviet, as an argumentum ad absurdum, on what can happen when the state owns property. I also ...

LEON

A concrete is a particular. For instance the word LEON is a reference to me - a particular person. The word men is a reference to all men that exist, thus a concept. If I had asked; Is man A stronger than woman B? Then we need to know who man A and woman B is? i.e. two particular persons (concretes ...

LEON

The correct answer to this question "Men are physically stronger than women. Yes or no?" is yes. There is no it depends on this and that concrete, because the question is not about concretes. the only person who is SURE that is the correct answer is YOU. Hence the issue here, you are absolutely ...

LEON

LEON, I have to head out to celebrate the miracle of my birth with the family, but leave you with this thought: When you seek specific, yes or no answers to a question, that question has to be very, very narrowly defined. Otherwise, life offers very few clearcut, nuance-free, unambiguous answers ...

LEON

examples are concrete. What would you prefer? Oh, and I'm starting to see your core problem, LEON.....you suppose that you can 'tell me not to go into concretes' as if that is how one has an exchange. Let's start out with not telling others what to do, or not do, and go from there. You ...

well, I don't have a karate instructor, but if I did, and he suggested we use karate to apply wax to a car or paint a fence, I'd laugh in his face. You even treated this as a concrete. I made a reference to the movie Karate Kid, the point might have gone over your head if you haven't seen that ...

Here, did you read this? We don't kill eagles, we actually protect them. On the other hand, we kill more chicken than anything else - still, eagles are few and chickens are many. Eagles are protected by the state, chickens are private property. This a the principal of property dynamics. This is all ...

(...) to apply the study of French Literature to the issue, (...) As you don't understand analogies, you can't make examples either. You choose french literature, because you know what that is. But since you don't know what economics is, you have no clue whether that is important in question about ...

LEON

Where is your complex understanding of reality?

How many times must I mention The tragedy of the commons. What is privately owned is taken care off, what is collectively owned is not.

As you do not make arguments yourselves, you don't read, or if you do, you don't understand my arguments.

I have made the argument that population dynamics has little to do with economics, and you keep blathering on about economics. This is a biological issue, pure and simple. Do you know the difference between an argument and a statement? If I claim population growth are due to quantum physics. Have I ...

LEON

Just to give you some pointers, environmental destruction was far more present in places like old Soviet and communist China, where there was no market operating, thus creating shortages and overuse of resources. In philosophy it's called 'tragedy of the commons' - what nobody owns (same as ...

So called overpopulation is not a problem, neither are limited resources (what ever that means), though it require that Government stay out and let the market operate. so, in your mind, the Earth can support how many people?

We might disagree on the content of that concept. When a state must tax Paul to give to Peter, the state must control both of them, which mean there's no rights left (I always use the term right as a negative, not as a positive). What seems to be private property in such a society is not by rights ...

LEON

I don't know what most people in US feel or think about this issue. But things like this can change, gradually. More the state takes responsibility for its citizens' life, more control it want as well.
