The only way you will ever get one is if you, or a friend, build it yourself.

This is exactly what thousands of people are already quietly starting to do.

Exactly, and this has got nothing to do with anybody's payroll or people hiring other people because they think they can make a profit or any other reason.

So stop the bullshit.
I often wonder why some people are so sensetive to all that crap.
If you want one, build one, and that's about it!

Bud. why are you lading kudos on someone who started a topic that should be very controversial, with out a "who" or "why"?
I have not problems w/ someone giving me fair warning about a predatory element within the F/E community, but it loses a lot of it's credibility when they won't tell you what to be aware of!

@poynt

Do it or shut up. F/E has enough to work against without working against itself. If you have pertinent info that underscores your post, please share it, or what is the purpose of an alarmist statement such as you start this thread with?

I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong, just that you're doing it the wrong way.

How can I be warned against something when I'm not told what it is?
Please consider that when you make such claims of subversion.

I have no problems with you doing so as long as it serves a purpose, and without the necessary criteria to do that, your "warning" action CAN do as much to splinter the F/E community as any mellifluous action used to stifle F/E research from "THEY".

An ambiguous warning may be of more harm than no warning @ all.

If you REALLY want to do this favor to your fellow F/E enthusiast, tell them WHO to be afraid of, or shut up.

I have the evening news to try to introduce fear and loathing into my daily life.

head toward the light... release open source and all will be fine. I'm sure if anyone develops a practical FE device then they will make a mint just off book and plan sales alone without doing anything else, if they also orchestrated manufacture and distribution they would become filthy rich, after all they have the added kudos of being the first one to develop it. just look how much attention mylow was starting to get, blogs and tech sites were all over him. the news would spread like fire if it were being replicated.

this mysterious company needs to be told "no thankyou, it's just a hobby for me, I like to keep it casual and fun" which is a polite way of saying "f*** right off!"

I will also say this, this forum professes to be open source at heart. So I think there should be no private messages, only messages, I would have no problem having my PM list open for all to read should they wish. Informational privacy is the seed of what many would call conspiracy. The forum should not have PM nor should email correspondence be allowed. Why the need to take someone into a corner and whisper something to them. That's the behaviour of the insecure. Keep it all out in the open, warts and all! Resitance is futile... lol.

But seriously, keep playing and stay open, it's the only way to trounce the tyrants.
