Both sides fighting in a war produce propaganda in order to try to either justify what they are doing or to simply gain force in their efforts. If the "war" to keep information free came to it, for example if there was a threat of open source software becoming criminal, what would your opinion on be on using online media as propaganda injections? Would you support a pro-freedom movement even if it meant purposely and knowingly bending the truth in news posts or would you be more apt to provide only, by your knowledge, factual information? Has/. done this in the past? Do you think you could kill a man with your bare hands? How many fingers am I holding up?
other idea (not transportation)

What is 'IT'?

Everyone has thrown their $0.02 in saying IT is a transportation device citing reasoning of changing a cities infastructure, pissing off major companies, making something safer/easier/cleaner. Transportation is not the only thing that this could be.
I'm thinking a new system of delivering power. Power lines are terribly dangerous and annoying. The power companies would be really pissed if we found a usable alternative.
New residential and commerical communications system - see above. Or, maybe it is a better way of
So, it doesn't necessarily *have* to be a mode of transportation, unless you are going to consider transportation of utilities or data in the same game.
"But if we were to indulge ourselves and construct a demographic of the average Freenet user from Freenet content, he'd be a crypto-anarchist Perl hacker with a taste for the classics of literature, political screeds, 1980s pop music, Adobe software, and lots of porn." I wonder what will be there (or in equivalently untraceable data pools) in five years.
Well, I think the average user will be a crypto-anarchist Perl hacker with a taste for the classics of literature, political screeds, 1990s pop music, free software, and lots of porn. But thats just a guess.
I don't think he was choosing to ignore the issues that you brought up, but to imply something wholly different than what he is blamed of.
Yes, stations do sell advertising. Thats why there are SO MANY shitty radio stations. Yet in the 7th paragraph, after Mr. Curry gives us a little background and thesis, he states that he started at a fairly fresh point by manually creating a radio show. Throughout his argument he shows how much little effort is now involved with possibly being able to create your own radio show. It seems to be a valid point to me. He expressed ways that he belives would make this process easier.
As for your second point, stations play to the mass demographic. They play what most of the people listen to them want to hear. Mr. Curry appears to be suggesting a little escape from the industries standards. It seems that he is saying that we should be the one who decides what our demographic is. Example: I listent to classic rock radio stations, but I fucking HATE kiss. In Mr. Currys proposal I would get all the classic rock I want but never any KISS.
If you could set up a rules based interface on a streaming mp3 server and insert adds every X seconds, I bet you could make a lot of add revenue without "selling out" (as they call it). Imagine if you could tell your spinner client to play punk, classical, and hip-hop but never play the Germs, the Vandals, any german opera, and Liszt, any new Q-tip or ODB. Wouldn't that rock to have personalized streams with almost no effort?
I'm glad to hear it's finally out. I've been using enlightenment for a good while now, being an afterstep convert. I must say though that the 15's hardly ever let me down. Maybe it was my experience of having a kind of new machine, but it seemed faster and usually more stable. I'm not *REALLY* bitching though. E rocks my world, much better than any other w/m out. Ennh, change comes and we adapt. I remember going from straight dos to os/2, I bitched that it wasn't as fast and whatnot when really the reason was that I had been engrained to think command line rocks, I don't need pictures. While I still use console in linux about 20-30 percent of the time, having a gui has kept me more productive and sane. I'll go into E 0.16.0 whining, but when I look back in a few days a little more unbiased to what I am used to, surely it will be the best.
!?!?! No, running os/2. Playing scorched earth. Running john. Old computers have use. Let them do trivial tasks that take a long time and are not mission critical or time sensitive. Hell, play Wolfenstein!
to transmit a message that would show incrementaly our abilities of computation. If the message was intercepted and (MAYBE) deciphered, it could either vring us one step closer to two things: An encounter with "aliens" (we all live in the same universe....maybe) The destruction of the world by hostile entities. Neither of which I woulf consider a bad thing.....
I was at Media Play the other day and noticed that they have a sign up to reserve copies... It asks for Name, Address, Phone, and number of copies and also says that the book will be out Aug, 31. Woo-hoo!! I don't know why anyone would need to reserve copies in a smallish town in TN, guess they just ship the display to all stores. Has anyone else heard rumors about a movie? A friend of mine at an unamed (cough..regal) cinema mentioned something, but they said it was rumor.... I didn't wait in line for star wars, but if Enders Game came out in theaters, I would work at one again just to see it before everyone else.
