Akshay Bist replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Atheists: What's worse? Execution or life without parole?'"Well, I think that would depend on the person being punished, and the living conditions of the incarceration. For some, death might be better than being locked up their whole life, while for others the fear of dying and the time leading upto…"
Akshay Bist replied to Sandeep's discussion 'Is there a substitute for prayer during hard times?'"Never said that it makes it true. Only pointed out that belief helps in coping. And the crucial point here is belief in what - there are lots of things that are real, and can be good to believe in -

Akshay Bist replied to Unseen's discussion 'If You Ruled The World, How Would You Handle Copyright?'"So what I proposed was not just the market value of the infringed items. It would be a fine, and it would be variable, depending upon the scale and intention of the infringement. Personal use - small fine. To sell bootlegs - bigger fine, and so on.

Akshay Bist replied to Unseen's discussion 'If You Ruled The World, How Would You Handle Copyright?'"Then corporations will, instead of buying the rights, will licence the rights, sometimes exclusive licences, sometimes ones they can transfer, and/or sublicence. Pretty much the same thing as it is now. And we'd be in the same mess as…"

Akshay Bist replied to Unseen's discussion 'Nowhere To Hide From Internet Risks'"That is pretty ingenious, and I'd hazard that just one shape made this way would be a better password than most other passwords. But then this comes to mind. "
