<0> marketing is pushing rfid, government has used rfid to track people in the past (refugees at guatanomo bay in the early 90s), darpa is funding serious rfid/brain implant tech, verichip has been manufacturing implantable rfid chips for years and chips have been implanted in workers in the us several times this year (security company citywatcher was the first to do so i believe)
<1> but you don't have a huge marigold industry, do you?
<1> marigolds aren't sought out like lumber, paper, pulpm and other wood products
<2> and if overnight they were?
<3> hands: People buy stuff that they could get for free all the time.
<2> every able company would jump on growing it and selling it.
<3> People just don't want to maintain their own natrual things.
<3> It is just more time efficient to buy it when needed.
<0> they have a cheap site too.. spychips.com... the book is a good starting point to get a few facts down though
<3> Smallers companies will be powered by larger ones who grow the items on a large scale.
<4> there isn't a huge marigold industry because marigolds have no practical use. What can you do with one, other than look at it?
<1> if you can dedicate a 9x9 patch of dirt to grow hemp, you could start a business
<3> Those larger companies will be owned by huge corporations.
<3> Therefore, even buying it from Mom and Pop puts money in a corporate giants pocket.
<1> but if you can dedicate a 9x9 patch of dirt to grow trees, you can't
<2> and you're forgetting one important thing.. PROCESSING. Using hemp to make paper involves more than a small store is capable of doing profitably. Same as a paper plant.
<1> that's the point
<0> heh hemp... i used to argue hemp all the time when i was a pothead in college... seems kinda pointless now.
<2> again, big business involved
<1> there is so little overhead needed to produce hemp
<1> and small businesses could easily be competition to big lumber
<2> great.. now you've got lets say 20 pounds of marijuana. Are you going to take a magic marker to it to write on?
<1> the easy solution? make it illegal.
<2> or will a huge company need to process it further
<2> and will the huge company buy from a small supplier at a high cost? or a lumbar company, who produces tons per day
<2> think your point out a little depper and see the big picture
<3> I would personally buy my hemp from a trusted source and not some small random company.
<3> Simply because I fear being murdered by others.
<1> troopa, you need a trusted source to buy paper?
<3> They could do all kinds of **** to it.
<3> Yes.
<3> They could use a dye that would slowly kill you.
<0> troopa: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595550208/sr=8-1/qid=1151954753/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4134589-4382222?ie=UTF8 worth the 14 bucks man.. there's a newer one but it specifically addresses Christians in the title and so many people get squirmy with just the mere mention of Christianity that I suggest this older copy instead
<1> who looks at brand names when they go to buy printer paper?
<2> i do
<1> i look at the price tag.
<3> I look at the brand.
<2> i am concerned wth paper quality if im printing something important
<1> if i'm getting something for resumes, i look at the paper weight, brightness, etc
<2> usually generic brands are thin and deteriorate or yellow rapidly
<3> hands: You're really asking a bunch of anal nerds about the selection of items they deem important.
<1> but rarely does brandname come into play
<2> i only purchase HP brand photo paper for example.. i wouldnt buy "smoky joe's" brand ever.
<3> lol
<3> I would trust HP and Kodak for photo paper.
<1> I have a ream of Universal 92 brightness, 20 weight paper, and a ream of Office Depot paper with the same specs
<3> But that's about it.
<1> looks exactly the same
<1> feels exactly the same
<1> one of these is cheaper
<2> and in a couple years, look again
<1> hrm...most consumers don't test paper for years
<3> That isn't true.
<1> they print out their recipe, or Mapquest directions
<1> but they grab the cheapest paper
<4> in a couple of years, whatever's printed on the paper will probably be irrelevent, if it hasn't been recycled already.
<3> What if a wife wrote a beautiful poem for a husband and he wanted to keep it forever.
<2> i save every scrap of paper that my wife writes me letters or notes on
<5> get archive paper
<5> problem solved...
<3> Well, a few years down the line it turns to a different color and slowly becomes poor quality.
<2> i keep it in a file in my desk
<1> there is a specialized product for archiving
<3> I do the same as despy.
<3> I keep a lot of letters and such.
<1> but you guys aren't like most consumers, apparently
<0> has everyone else already gone with AMD ?
<1> why is it when i go to office depot to buy paper, the cheap stuff is almost always gone?
<5> Pick me, pick me!
<1> is it because most people don't know the difference between 92 brightness 20lb papers?
<3> People are just weird in general.
<3> That's a proven fact.
<2> i could speculate that the people who buy that stuff are cheap. Now how do you get a cheap product? m***ive m*** production
<5> 'Cause it's the cheapest!
<2> how do you get m***ive cheap m*** production from home growers of the raw plant?
<1> cut out the middleman!
<3> Creating a cheap product means using cheap parts.
<2> do you think office depot will go door to door buying your plants once per three months?
<1> that's not the point
<2> or do you think they will buy exclusively from one major hemp manufacturer
<2> thats been the point from the beginning here hands
<1> how does one become a major hemp manufacturer?
<3> Product it 24/7 in m*** quanities.
<2> id imagine by m*** producing hemp
<3> produce*
<3> Then flood the market with brand X hemp.
<1> and do you think a company that RIGHT NOW specializes in trees is going to suddenly turnkey their production to hemp?
<6> dont you guys talk about computers
<3> "The best hemp in the world. It will cure cancer"
<2> hands, the second that it gets legalized, damned right
<1> or do you think someone else will come in and m*** produce?
<5> Scirilliu: not always
<2> wanna know why? $
<1> it's not that easy, though
<2> sure it is
<3> Ladies, ladies.
<7> for 5 dollars Ill talk about computers for 10 minutes
<3> Just give it up, lol.
<7> anyone, anyone?
<1> it's easier for a small group get funding and start up a new business m*** producing hemp than it is for Weyerhauser to suddenly churn out hemp
<2> its much easier for a multi hundred billion dollar lumbar company to m*** produce hemp than some guy in his basement with a bank loan application.
<3> stoops: What do you think about the underlying changes of AMD's new Socket 940 microprocessor?
<2> hands: you're wayyy off base
<1> not at all!
<3> SDFSJ@!E#!@#!@
<3> I OWN ALL OF THE BASE HERE
<3> CONVERT TO MY NUMBER SYSTEM OR DIE
<2> all my base is belong to you troopa
<1> if Weyerhauser, who has been selling wood for 100+ years doesn't have to make an investment at all, it's best for them
<2> Filup, because we choose to holmes
<3> hands: X * n ^ y
<3> CONVERT!
<1> erm
<1> no.
<3> I think it is funny that I indirectly started this argument.
<3> All because I was pondering the vast wasteland we call the human mind.
<5> lol
<1> sorry, i go off on tangents, because i am hopelessly liberal!
<3> called, even.
<1> which is what flyback loves most about me.
<3> Everyone hates me.
<3> :(
<3> My micro optimization isn't efficient enough for friends.
<1> so, i've got all these dumb 3g2 videos i took with my phone
<1> but i want to convert them to something that is shareable on the 'net
<1> SUPER crashes when i try and convert them, and MediaCoder doesn't convert the sound
<1> so i'm all wtf
<8> Does anyone here have a Gigabyte Quad Royal SLI motherboard? (or know someone who does?)
<1> ANSWER ME THAT! Doubleyou, Tee, Eff!
<3> I have been up for a long, long time.
<3> I need the sleep, but I promised my wife I would stay up so I would sleep tonight.
<3> =\
<5> how long have you been awake?
<3> I stopped looking after I started seeing stuff.
<5> lol
<9> deal: http://shop1.outpost.com/%7BGyd2sR3mxvhgZ1sPq00k2b2hwPmyyW1zySYL73KGYc1PqNVGMlbv!1789906462!-1078849042!1151884670657%7D/product/4697788
<5> brb
<1> why does Fiona Apple always look like she's just been beaten up?
<1> and what sick bastards think that's hot?
<1> DUDE! It's a guy falling out of the sky, and he's on fire!
<3> Nelly Furtado is so hot!
<3> Don't think so? Download this music video: Nelly Furtado - Promiscuious
