So I have what I think is a fairly signficiant idea. It has probably been had before and expressed before -- but I'll express it here anyways.

The idea is called Latent Source. Quite simply it is the following:

• You create a product and license it under Latent Source. Your product must use all open source, latent source, or public domain (i.e. screws, nuts) components.
• You do not have to release the information on your product for two years.
• After two years you must release all the CAD files, including the files used in the CAD software itself (i.e. SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc) as well as all of the files used to purchase / manufacture the parts, into the public domain as Latent-Open Sour

Hey all. I'm looking to design a pamphlet with my local vegan organization and was wondering what your favorites were? What I want is:

A. effective literature

B. promotes abolitionist philosophy in a simple and persuasive manner. Shouldn't be a manifesto (see A), but is consistent with the abolitionist approach.

C. is limited on the gruesomeness portrayed, but gets the point across powerfully. Not sure how to approach this (very common) issue in this area of activism. Many of the people we try to reach simply look away when they see violence and then don't hear our message. I want something they will look at and think about.

D. Is short! We live in a society of 140 character thoughts. I

I am not talking about accepting religion, I am talking about accepting religious principles. So what am I talking about?

Accepting that something is greater than you, if only for a day.

NO, not a being, not a God. Nothing like that. Accept that an idea is greater than you. Here's how you do it:

1. Pick something and memorize it. I am currently going through the writings of Buddha and I highly recommend it as a standard place to get your day's mantra.

2. Meditate on it as you fall asleep. This means repeating it over and over again in your head as you breath out (semi-controlled breathing). Let it sink into your consciousness without thinking about it. Push out any stray t

I think we have to admit two things:

• The search for truth and simplicity in explanation is a spiritual pursuit because it is not the result of our genes. They are a product of culture, experimentation, and continued realization through the entire course of human civilization.

• When religious people accuse science as being a spiritual pursuit, I think we should embrace it. For what reason does a scientist search for truth if not a spiritual one? This shouldn't be confused as with the search for a god, that is not what I am talking about. I am defining the human spirit as "that which goes beyond evolution" or "that which is uniquely human".

• The fundamental idea here is that the

So, I'm doing taxes. I'm looking for the address of the the IRS (something that is actually not easily googleable apparently) and I come across this:

(pg4) You May Benefit From Filing Form 1040A or 1040 in 2010

...

(pg5) Parent of a Kidnapped Child The parent of a child who is presumed by law enforcement authorities to have been kidnapped by someone who is not a family member may be able to take the child into account in determining his or her eligibility for the head of household or qualifying widow(er) filing status, the dependency exemption, the child tax credit, and the earned income credit (EIC). But you have to file Form 1040 or Form 1040A to take the child into account t
