ah money and greed getting in the way of civilised progress again.
I was just thinking that the whole problem with Xanada would be that information is in Silos, and they like it that way so that you can charge money to get access to those silos.
DITA open toolkit if similar in some ways and fully open.
Single Sourcing is a term in the publishing industry that allows you to repurpose content. To do it you hold the content in small parts and then compose it. This guys system could be based easily on the single sourcing open source code base. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot/ It is designed to run in a browser too.
The end result is a open document format There is also webODF which loads open documents into the browser and render them using plain html5, javascript and heavy use of css. http://www.webodf.org/
The 3D aspects of navigating from an Open document to see all its links could be done using the CSS transforms perhaps.
I think his idea is create, and you can choose to see the finsihed docuemtn OR the 3D linsk version. SO best of both world.
It would be good is a virtualBox VM all set-up and secure with the private replication key was made available. With setting instructions. This would make it much easier for people to host a mirror, knowing it was secure.
Also it could be optimised to the bare minimum needed to do the serving and replication and nothing else.
1. He went to MS, because he know Google have a Social Network in the wings waiting to be launched. So he had no choice expect MS or Yahoo. 2. He did it now because he knows that google will have this style of search functionality as a bare minimum, and so he has to try to competee against the coming asteriod that will be googel Social. 3. He probably got a kick back from MS fro doing it. MS often do deals like this with kickbacks for the other party.
4. Oh and he is a bit of an A*&%#hole from what i hear
I also want to add a very important aspect to this.
NONE of this will happen unless the voting system changes. Its setup FOR the fat cats By the fat cats. The fox is guarding the hens.
One vote for one person is the start of change to happen.
The may day riots should look like "walk in the park" compares to what should be happening. But your average Joe is not hurting enough yet to get out there.
The irony is that people will wait until its too late. Until hyperinflation has kicked in (maybe 2 years from now ) and people are loosing their houses and businesses. The larger companies will survive because they will just downsize and adapt. They can because as demands shrinks they can shrink supply and still stay afloat.
exactly and so the logical conclusion is the the problem in the monetary system.
digital things are virtual. It costs nothing to have a zillion copies.
But the author must make a living from writing.
The real issue then is WHY DO WE NEED PUBLISHERS ANYMORE.... They are reall the equivalent of Blockbuster or travel shops that used to sell airline tickets.
I wish that there was: 1. A web site that is syndicated with other web site for books. 2. Readers that were not drmed.
So do you think an author would then sell their digtial book without DRM ? No, they might be a more lenient in regards to digitally loaning it to your friends.
So again it all comes back to the monetary system. It just does not make sense for things that are material based. It does make sense for things that are time based such as labour.
Its a touch one as they say. Many contradictions of logic.
I met him when i was there in 2000. He flew down in his Helicopter into this village i was in; out of the blue and did a speech etc. i was there with a Brit and a Yank and we asked if we could meet him and we did. Mainly talk about Capitalism being evil etc etc.
Nothing to worry about anyway. Just let the normal process of evolution take place, and he newspaper wil be extinct in a few years anyway and have no real voice.
i am an architect and i think this guy is partly to blame but also pulling everyones leg a bit.
But the case rests with the architect. Its his job to show the cleint WHY it makes sense to NOT use natural gas etc. Its his job to make sure the right net metering meter is installed by the elec company BEFORE the end of the build.
building green these dasy is VERY easy in reality IF you know what your doing. In many way it is cheaper. For example.
1. walls. use a high thermal insulation monolithic wall. This lowers cost by having little labour. This also automatically air seals the building. Hemp is good and very cheap. you now dont need an exterior cladding or interior gypsum . thats allot of labour and material saved. you just skim coat the exterior and interior walls with a lime wash and it looks great and will last forever. you also saved yourself a fortune in paint. Paint is expensive BTW. 2. Use a Substructure like a portal frame construction. this takes 2 days to erect for a house, and allows you to place wall where ever you want. you only need a post every 4 meters on the outer wall. now you can use pad footing under these post and the rest of the floor can be raised timber. you just saved yourself a fortune in concrete and earthworks. 3. ensure you have a dedicated electrical and plumbing riser and hvac riser. This makes running all pipes and cabling dead easy. It mean the plumber and elec get in and out of their fast and so saves alot of money. 4. a properly insulated house does NOT need much heating. The active ventilation system just needs a fan coil exchangers on the supply side and that the heating for the whole house. You just saved yourself about 10,000 euros by not putting in floor heating everywhere. 5. Windows to the sunny side, and few windows everywhere else. I know this is a major design restriction, but it saves you a fortune in energy bills. If its a hot climate make sure you have bigger eaves than normal so in summer you don't get too much. The active ventilation will dump heat outside if its required.
Timing is everything, and the fact that 6 hrs after starting to load the rods into the nuclear reactor, they announce a weapons delivery system is a well orchestration PR campaign by Iran. Basically he is saying : 1. Dont touch Iran because i have the capability to hit Israel 2. You never know now Us and Israel what the future holds.
In short the world just make one right step for mankind IN THE WRONG direction.
there is allot of talk about the Debian Freedom box where the apps and data live on peoples little sheeva plug at home.
SO, why not use the same idea for mireless data ? I know for example that the FON system in Spain is quite popular. But they screwed it up by charging for it .
But considering what a huge waste of money is spent on paying these mobile operates, which are simply paying off the HUGE license fees that the government charged them. When you just think about it logically its CRAZY.
1. I don't kind if someone uses a little bit of my bandwidth. Skype DOES that anyway !!!! 2. Peer to peer is secure at home because most people have it NATTing through their wifi router anyway.
its funny how we all work against each other, and the fat corporates reap all the the benefit...
with al the effort by government to get access to the comm transmissions on Blackberry's, that SEEMS TO INDICATE that they already have access on other mainstream networks and brands.
exactly, these trust are based on a chain of trust.
Also, Getting a certificate for SSL is too easy. Its just a stupid Dun and Bradstreet reference and you get one. you are paying the equivalent of mafia fees.
Itsa pity an open systesm for certificate trust chains cant be developed. But i am not an expert in that
Oz has been held to ransom by Telsta for years. finally they are getting a decent network and the opposition is playing politics with it.
46 billion AUD = 20 billion Euro about. Its allot of money but ITS WORTH IT, because it means that that ALL industries can reap the benefits. Being connected and having a good connection is MANDATORY to do anything in todays world.
Not only that but i know for a fact that it also means all the other over the air networks get cheaper too. For example a wimax network is going into Victoria as we speak. I know because my brother is in charge of that.
Having all that fibre available, means that so many other services also get better too is my point. Its like a catalyst.
i Sweden they have an OpenNET. which is a fibre backbone which is free. So other companies can innovate on top of it. It allows everyone to get fibre if they want it.
So politicians down there in opposition get FUCKED (aussies swear allot). People in OZ, you should write the everyone that will or wont listen demanding this stays on course and goes ahead. Its a lifeline to allow Oz to jump ahead in terms of a civilisation !!!!!!

The other consideration is that html5 is coming along nicely.
Web sockets, background processes and soon serial device support.
The only binary compatibility will be the browser ( and thats already well and truly backed)
And then of coure there is NACL and pNaCL. This is c and c++ running as a sandboxed deamon in the browser.
I see web apps as the future and the straw that will break the camels back in regard to the cult of x486 instruction set.

make it open source !!!!!!
agree succinctly.
Timing is everything, and the fact that 6 hrs after starting to load the rods into the nuclear reactor, they announce a weapons delivery system is a well orchestration PR campaign by Iran. Basically he is saying :

your right - Wikileaks has way to much power. we need many more Wikileaks to avoid concentrating power in one hand.
Arrg - paper is behind stupid pay-wall.
Why bother referencing it.
you have missed the point.
Carbon steel is just everyday normal steel.
But to protect the steel from any rusting they coat the steel in a PURE carbon based lining.
The only mine for the material in the EU is the Uk. they just re-opened because of world demand.
