Its just a picture...

Forgiveness is easier than permission...

If you post it on teh interwebs its public, anyone can grab it. Not a big deal. Its not like its a proprietary secret. Look, you need to get comfortable with this whole public exposure thing. Open source is, well, you know, like being naked in public. After a while you just get used to it. Ain't no thang...

I post everything, especially failures, because you can get excellent feedback, and that hastens the development process. Hastening the development process speeds up your learning curve, and helps you get a working process faster.

You quoted Einstein earlier. He also did something like this, blogging I mean. He published white papers. He was one of the only early scientists that would publish failures because he wanted to prevent others from making the mistakes that he had already encountered. Do you see? Einstein there acting in a selfless way, trying to prevent others from making the mistakes that he already made. That's Oneness... That's Unity... That's the Stuff that can fix this planet...

Oh really now?!? It would have taken a couple mins to IM me and ask and avoid this whole waste of time.

Just cause someone mentions open source does NOT mean I am ready to release it openly. I don't mind people knowing about the pic or seeing it, but you violated all rights I had to the pic when you took it from a private account and posted in a public context. It's not about the pic as much as people like you taking liberties WITHOUT PERMISSION when it takes far less effort to simply ask.

Get that Eragon quote out of your head. IT'S A DAM MOVIE!!! "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission" does NOT apply to the real world. Take a smokers cigarette without asking and see what happens.

I don't need feedback on the design because I've already built a small proof of concept model several years ago that worked perfectly, even if it only lasted 30 seconds before mechanical failure from an old bearing. I wouldn't be like I am if I didn't have a reason. I did NOT want to have to say that in public manner because it focus attention on me that I do NOT want. It makes me look like a moron to claim something no one has proven yet, even if it does work.

I don't mind going open source, but I will do it WHEN I'M DAM GOOD AND READY!!!!!

What is wrong with you people?!? Do you seriously not understand how far I am willing to go to protect my work?!? I have a carton of thermite I keep ready to destroy the device if I so much as smell deception!!!

I put a couple of decades into my work so far. It doesn't help humanity if its a secret. It might as well be locked up in a vault at the bottom of a nuclear bunker if you can't share. I used to be like this, really. But I realized that the effort I was making is more beneficial than the end product. Plus I've built some cool stuff, and wanted to show it off...

Get naked (open source) dude...

How many time do I have to say it before you get it through your thick skull?!?

I will go open source when I'm dam good and ready!!! This means when I have protection on it. Just cause I give the design away does NOT mean I'm willing to give away rights to that design. This design is going to prove every member of my family wrong, and show I'm the only good thing that came from my family. It will get me the funding to resume Nikola Tesla's work.

I have MUCH bigger plans than your obviously puny mind can see. You want this 1 design open source, but doing so could cost mankind an entire welth of knowledge when I can't afford to further the research or take over where Tesla left off. Giving away the 1 design will destroy the big picture, which you can't see or you wouldn't have violated me!!!

At least you admit it.

1 more violation against me, my work, or my property and you can rest assured NO ONE here will EVER see the finished model.

And by here I mean earth. I will keep it to myself and be a selfish little bitch, just like the rest of the world.

Open source does not require it to be immediate. Ubuntu 11.04 is open source, but their not releasing it till it's done and protected either.

You have 2 hours to remove the pic, or I will consider it another violation against me and YOU WILL COST EVERYONE DEARLY!!!

Take it as lightly as you wish, but I have no need to validate myself through others. I'd just as soon keep it to myself and let the rest of you fight over the price of oil.

Think I'm bluffing? I have 11 other projects that can get funding that have nothing to do with OU, and would be easier.
