Want to run cable with minimum disruption to the building than eg http://www.skirtec.com.au/ . Skirting and architrave ducts. Simply pull off the empty solid ones and replace with hollow ones that can accommodate cables and outlets. Always, always go with wire where you can, everything will run much smoother. So you work in ceiling space, bring cable down at doorways to the floor and around the room you go. To get from floor to floor, drill a hole, use fixed floor to ceiling cupboards, with removable backs and bases, either new or existing ones. Prep in one weekend, cupboards, ducts et al and wire in the next.
Nah, executives routinely betray each other, the just conspire together to exploit others but if they can knock the other out of completion, they will, their greed and lust for power is limitless. Don't forget of course the lead issue. Older generations lead in fuel, down a bunch of IQ points, difficult to retrain, don't forget lead water pipes and lead bullets. I mean look at the mess you have allowed your government to become and that is down to lead poisoning, suck it up because the over forties did exactly that and simply do not perform as well on average.
The inability of M$ to disable tracking is one great big lie. Their intent by that statement proves the current system is to use and abuse home users as crash test dummies prior to those updates being made available to enterprise and education clients (where the probe is missing but M$ said the probe can not be taken out, well, apparently it can't until it can). Basically the rule with windows anal probe 10 is don't get it, force your supplier to provide you with the enterprise version or the education version, do not take no for an answer, that is your answer, either they supply those versions or tell your supplier to fuck off until they can, don't care how they do it, don't buy until they do, end of story.
You have no idea, how mass for profit law suits could screw up the system, just a year or two will be enough to collapse the courts and cripple industry.
Would those Russian intelligence services have the interests of the US more or less than the current crop of entirely corrupt US corporations that run the US government. Taking into account recent behaviours of US multi-national corporations and Russian intelligence services, when it comes to the typical Anonymous citizen, yeah Russian intelligence service cares more about you than US corporations and their corrupt US government. A country falling apart due to excessive corruption with a whole bunch of nukes and insanely greedy war industries is a threat to everyone on the planet (they might not love you but they certainly do not hate you, no matter how much they dislike abusively destructive multi-national corporations), in this case, them striving to make themselves safer makes all the rest of us safer and buys us the time to clean up or break up multi-national corporations.
The gist of the article is interesting, as it comes off like the New York Times is now a government agency, I wonder which dog is wagging which tail when or do they just take turns, the white house being nothing more than just another corporate media channel, no decision making, just public announcements of the decisions made by others.
So who wants to steal our democracy more, the writers of the TPP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (the toilet paper protocol for what it does to all member countries constitutions) corporate manifesto or the Russian military. So do I trust them, has very little to do with would I use them when we share joint objectives, hell, I would use the NSA if they serve my purpose or the FBI or the SEC, that is what you are meant to do, so the FSB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., falls in exactly the same category (would I oppose them, sure, all of them, if they opposed my underlying principles of freedom, democracy and justice, on any particular issue, that I deemed honourably appropriate).
I would rather see them produce a high performance 3D playstation video card (et al), that you could load up on Linux PC. High performance elements only available for licensed games and regular performance for everything else ie FOSS software like Libre Office etc. Windows done and finished at consumer level. So what if is hacked and produces high performance for everything, they'll still sell more games (OS issues after all).
I would bet, victims of those crimes, who forced a constitutional challenge to those criminals activities could force some really severe penalties on the government. You might say you can, and write crap laws that say you can but legally can you really purposefully create victims of citizens, criminally fuck people over, to what, advance your career. Somehow that doesn't quite ring true as being legal, regardless of the anti-constitutional lies their lawyers and corrupt politicians spread.
I could believe that, Sony is really wacked when it comes to marketing. Who can forget the whole mysoginst B$ of ghost busters to drive free advertising, that failed and most everyone is pretty hacked off with Sony. I would suggest the switch away from being controversy dicks and develop some reasonable manners. They seem to have switched into panic mode after a series of failures and really stupid blunders.
Spreadsheets are really useful tools but have limitations. One thing I did enjoy was using that spreadsheet layout for coding, it seems much more functional. One sheet with programming cells, another bunch of cells on the same sheet for output, various continuous variable checks, distributed where ever those checkpoints are required, multiple sheets with similar outputs in similar locations and notes all over the place. You could really turn a spreadsheet into a great custom coding interface, than once it works, clear out the spawl from the production version and leave it all in the development versions.
When it comes to errors, gees, load up a custom dictionary and you are done. Switch to Libre Office for the spell check and share your new free open source custom dictionary, done and finished. Whether or not you have M$ Office installed, you should still install Libre Office for flexibility, it's free, does not take up much space and most definitely does not spy on you. Also leaves that easy option for private dual booting, Libre Office on Linux for private work away from the old digital one eye prying up where is most definitely does not belong, M$ backorifice on top of windows probe 10, ugh, the buggers don't even wear protection as their compulsory upgrades screw up people's systems, to load a new bunch of compulsory ads, wow, just wow.
Keh? new OS, what new OS. You mean a new java layer on top of an old OS. So yes, if you want, well not even a new java layer so much as new versions of apps on that java layer (the java layer could be really old, as well as the OS underneath it), you know the apps, the actual GUI, those apps that come with the phone and maybe just maybe some new drivers, than buy a new phone. Even though the might not be much improvement in the phone or the software most probably hasn't changed all that much, apart from some cosmetic tweaking but hey to make it feel better, couple of years old and that phone turns to shit because the battery holds bugger all charge and that last upgrade you get often tends to create more problems than it solves but hey, new battery (the main reason for fixed batteries is to kill the phone, as paying to repair the phone ie replace the battery, costs more than the old phone is worth because no one will pay much for an old phone when they can not immediately go out and buy a new battery and fit it, repairing the battery costs as much as that second had phone is worth).
You know what screw you, if we could put any software we like on those phones fine, even buy one to replace the provided one, but hey, ass hat, that choice is not there, we are pretty much stuck with the old OS and can not change it because they fucked up that choice on purpose, so hmm, purposefully fuck up the choice to change OS, the yes, they can pay for upgrades for the life of the phone.
Meh, so what, the current administration will not prosecute no matter what. They know exactly what she did and they know every single email that was deleted and they know it was all about hiding corruption and a pay to play scheme. They straight up do not give a crap, the fix is in, the corporate whore is their pick, done a finished. The DNC leadership had to quit for corrupting the primaries and no one does nothing about the scum bag who gained the benefit of that corruption and do not quit in shame, nope, it cheered on the cheat because in that corrupt mind, cheating to win is still winning and worth the same. The whole thing is turning this administration and obviously the next one into a corrupt dangerous joke and one definitely not to be trusted in the least. The whole scam is now proving an unmitigated disaster for the establishment and it will only get worse, much, much, worse. Even with main stream media, the war industries and the major financial players all in the bag for the corporate whore, they are still losing the election (they might win but they will be stuck with a shit president who in incapable of selling anything and this will lead to mass protests and endless political turmoil).
The whole idea of the service provider being responsible is bullshit. The provide the service, they do not control what it connects to or what connects to it. Want legal recourse then sue the customer, prove you case and than the service provider can act. No one can make empty claim and demand the service provider than pay the legal case of proving it occurred in order to justify breaking contract. Until it is proven in a court of law there is no action that can be taken with regard to breaking of the contract. That is quite clear cut and just shows the corruption of the court and judge in question, clearly shows signs of a pay to get elected, pay for the results you want, corrupt legal system.
The claim is question is one of, "We don't need to prove shit, we say so and you are guilty and owe us tens of thousands of dollars", this the shifted to the service provider because, yeah, making claims of tens of thousands of dollars with shitty circumstantial evidence, doesn't work. So corrupt courts, allowing really shitty verdicts and forcing appeals, and more court costs.
They are bound to lose because any ISP must consider how this percent for copyright infringement could spread to real criminal cases and they could become liable for them as well, with bad precedent set (think terrorist communications and holding ISPs liable for aiding terrorism, which means staff and management would become criminally liable).
It represents the typical arrogance of corrupt governments. Why leave evidence behind because they mostly do not give a crap, they are corrupt, not skilled, just corrupt and got their positions by being corrupt, not skilled. So good people, do good work and try hard, bad people do not, they lie, cheat and steal and they do that to get their jobs not just once they have their jobs. Basically, yes, corrupt scum bags do shitty jobs because they do not give a crap about the job, just what they can get out of it, how much corrupt money they can make, how often and how much they can abuse people, not just sexually but kill them, they are sick fuckers.
Autocratic empires are not build upon trust but upon corruption. The best do not take the lead positions, corrupt players lie, cheat, steal and kill to get those positions and just do shitty jobs when they get there, blaming and punishing underlings for the failures of a corrupt leadership. They routinely expose themselves and then kill to cover it up again.
The Turkish coup was blatantly false flag, as proven by the reaction. The mass arrest of unaffiliated persons (a dangerous waste of policing resources when a supposed real threat exists), in sufficient numbers and variance to indicate the lists for the arrest existed prior to the false flag coup (no investigation required post coup, to initiate thousands of arrests) and no government under real threat and duress wastes resources on arbitrary targets when real ones exist.
The really whacked thing about it all both the US and Russian government support the false flag coup but for opposite reasons, even after the Turkish government decided to finger the US government for the coup, the US is still pretending it was real and struggling to keep Turkey in NATO where it no longer belongs according to the rules of NATO (even when large portions of Europe not longer want Turkey in NATO and the US forcing the issue might well result in the end of NATO, the result of arrogant incompetence in position of control due to corruption making piss poor decisions).
Building big stuff in space doesn't make all that much sense yet. Building big on the Moon, makes a lot more sense and a lot of the raw materials are already there. Just need a binder and some earth moving equipment, nuclear powered earth moving equipment, the binder, well those tanks can be reused. The moon has a couple of big advantages, much lower gravity and no atmosphere to deal with, definitely a better place to build the components of a space station. The smart research is in how to use the raw materials available on the moon to best fabricate high mass and large components, to be used elsewhere in space and of course to rapidly expand the size of the moon base to properly develop recycling life support systems for hugely extended even permanent stays. You certainly would not want to return fuel tanks from the moon but you would not use them for habitats either, that has to be engineered from moon dust.
In that case be patient and look up specials and bundles, buy old games cheap enough and you don't care they clutter up you library with the bundle of fun games in there as well. So many games, just so many, games and so little time. The trick is to buy ten to twenty at a time on the bug sales, spending what you would for just a couple triple A bug ridden new releases (buying late means much fewer bugs, let the over eager pay through the nose to be bug testers), independent, old must finally bug free triple A and you escape the all to frequent lies of paid for reviews (witcher 3 being the best/worst example of scammy reviews), or paying top dollar for crap, rather than a few dollars as a meh experiment. Steam won by being cheap and having lots of titles and keeping those old titles alive. M$ died in games because they purposefully killed old games to try to force people to buy new ones, not one M$ game I own is still capable of running, not one, all purposefully broken by M$ with no fixes (I have not bought a M$ branded game for years nor will I ever).
Want to reduce the number of emails, there is an, well, not so easy method. The idea is to get companies to force the idea of more formal email writing as a required company policy. Require that emails be laid out like formal letters, company details, proper greetings, proper sign off, reasonably writing skills displayed (do not leave the company looking like the employed primary school children). When some one sends a bad email, they are challenged and required to resend it properly written. You might think of it all as a huge hassle but guaranteed people will only send emails with they have something to say, rather than empty nothings, cluttering up every ones in boxes. Formal letter writing for emails will improve emails and hugely reduce their number (stopping to think about how you craft that email will get people to stop and think about what they are putting in that email). Perhaps more formal email forms to be filled it and the email wont be sent until they are fully filled in and a spelling and grammar check is also required to be done and confirmed. You will spend much more time producing emails but still save time compared to dealing with all those pointless emails.
The difference between online and normal social engagements is you are connected to a far broader and more diverse range of people ie in my younger days, regional towns in queensland had black hotels and white hotels and you did not go into the wrong hotel unless you wanted problems (this being a more extreme form of social separation, another extreme form being in prison versus not being in prison). What the online environment does to push many differing social groups to interacting together. So the problem with twitter is not the bullshit on twitter, the problem is the problems on twitter are spreading beyond twitter ie other communications channels spreading twitter madness. Want twitter to be less problematic simply ignore it, do not re-report anything from it, do not participate in it, let them climb their outrage trees and scream at each other all they want. If it shifts from screaming on twitter to actual confrontations let the police deal with it. From the beginning of twitter everyone was told exactly how it would turn out and all the problems associated with it and that it was best to leave it alone. The Marketdroids got hold of it and made it worse by linking it to main stream media as another marketing and public relations channel and made it far worse. Simply drop twitter.
Dude, wake up to yourself, different strokes for different folks because it is in error for you does not make it an error for everyone else. For you obviously someone obliviously entering you home in dirty clothes, tracking footprints to your once clean lounge suite, yeah, how well do you handle that. Could it possibly be that you do not reflect majority behaviour and how much would you be harmed by the thought that feaces particles of all description float about within your place of residents, including your own http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2..., have fun with that story.
Doesn't really affect the original owner as it is not just a key but a key tied to a user and password. They can try stealing and selling user accounts and that would cause Steam massive problems as they would be penalised in many countries for affecting the accounts of customers. Just because you haven't used a purchased key, does not mean that key is not already tied to your account and your specific hardware.
Just a warning to everyone, lots of little databases are a hassle and cost more to administer but when one it broken and tiny bit of information is stolen. Big databases with everything in it, including the kitchen sink, cheaper to administer but when it gets broken into you lose everything. Just another typical event in the war between idiot bean counters who know nothing and intelligent risk assessing network admins.
It really did serve the public interest in high lighting the typical main stream media lie, of who psuedo celebrities really are (tiny dick betrayers) versus the main stream media fabricated image of the product to be sold to a gullible public. So exposing a lie is challenged because it diminishes the profits from a corporate investment lie. So this civil suit and bankruptcy simply do more to highlight the lowlights of main stream media and the ugly little realities behind those massive steroid pumped up charades.
Nah, there is no such thing as an operating system for typical consumer targeted appliances, it pretty much disappears in the background. M$ is dead on consumer appliances and with the Windows 10 probe leaving a permanent memory of 'M$ watching you masturbate' in everyone's minds, never able to cum (tee hee) back. Android with it's someone messy java layer looks to be a lock in. Now can that java layer be fixed to provide better access for high end games and be an extension to a more typical Linux distribution like Ubuntu, to provide greater access to interactive content.
Apple of course is not so much loosing market share, their high end market remains the same, they are simply not picking up the rapidly expanding low end of the market for smart phones, where the much more competitive and diverse Android systems are taking by storm (so larger market and Apples percentage drops but they retain the same sales because their part of the market was already buying smart phones years ago). Apple pushing privacy was a really smart well timed moved and did real damage to M$ on consumer products (they now hate using windows no matter what the public relations firms claim, that whole windows anal probe 10 a really stupid move by M$ and now demanding people pay for the probe even more insulting, paying to have their privacy stolen, talk about arrogance, mind boggling).
The first step is patience, let the tools spread and behind a wave of script kiddie attacks, the NSA launches a global back door offensive, trying to stick in as many back doors as possible behind a wave of script kiddie attacks, some of which will be prosecuted as cover. A stolen idea back from when crackers (before main stream media renamed them hackers), distributed their software to provide cover for their activities and have the heat taken off when those script kiddies get busted. Kind of odd making the leak public but their are lots of good people at the NSA who would not approve of this kind of criminal activity, by corrupt political appointees, so publicise the release of those NSA tools, rather than have honest NSA agents report that NSA tools were used in a criminal fashion.
If the majority of us are lucky, a tiny destructive majority can get their jollies raping and abusing their under age bots (royalty, billionaires, politicians, Hollywood celebrities and the odd lesser criminal) and leave the rest of us right out of their mess, cough, cough, whilst peacefully masturbating;D (this being the apparent truth, as I find out years ago on women's forums, why married men spend so long in the toilet and married women spend so long in the shower, being a single male I was curious as to why both of those were the recognised truth but being single I had no idea why they would do that ie no need to spend long periods of time in a toilet or in a shower, quite the humorous truth).
Every one seems to have forgotten the whole saga of crackers (before main stream media twisted the term hackers) and script kiddies (people who could not write code to save themselves). Crackers would purposefully give away their hacking software to provide cover for their own activities (multiple un-associated sources of that particular attack, clumsy sources who will get arrested and draw heat away from the real cracker, as well as those people turning themselves into bots for the cracker, generally not a good idea as it provides a digital link back to the cracker).
So a bunch of stuff leaked looks much more like a planned mass attack on many countries infrastructure to get back doors in and this to be hidden by a hoped for plague of script kiddies, some of whom will be busted as being the source of the attacks, whilst the NSA skulks in the background as the actual source for by far the majority of attacks. Not even an original idea.
Lets show some sound economic common sense. They are not giving away stuff free, they are feeding knowledge back into the community in order to get ideas back, often for free. Knowledge only has value when it is kept alive, buried and forgotten it is worthless, out there and circulating means it is generating new ideas, that is quite simply the way it works and it is a very economically sound and logical idea for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to promote. Also they have recruitment issues and the need to get potential new recruits willing to learn the knowledge NASA needs to keep advancing (knowledge those trainees foot the bill for). So NASA needs to promote space industries, space employment and a future for many more citizens in space and it needs to release knowledge, multi-media content and even free computer games, we are either going for evolve from our cocoon planet into the rest of the galaxy or disappear from the galaxy stuck in that cocoon. Now all they need to do is figure out how to shift all the wasted war dollars into long term investment space dollars (quite a long, long, term investment, but the payback is quite literally the galaxy, well, at least a significant part of it;) ).

In that case be patient and look up specials and bundles, buy old games cheap enough and you don't care they clutter up you library with the bundle of fun games in there as well. So many games, just so many, games and so little time. The trick is to buy ten to twenty at a time on the bug sales, spending what you would for just a couple triple A bug ridden new releases (buying late means much fewer bugs, let the over eager pay through the nose to be bug testers), independent, old must finally bug free triple A and you escape the all to frequent lies of paid for reviews (witcher 3 being the best/worst example of scammy reviews), or paying top dollar for crap, rather than a few dollars as a meh experiment. Steam won by being cheap and having lots of titles and keeping those old titles alive. M$ died in games because they purposefully killed old games to try to force people to buy new ones, not one M$ game I own is still capable of running, not one, all purposefully broken by M$ with no fixes (I have not bought a M$ branded game for years nor will I ever).
Want to reduce the number of emails, there is an, well, not so easy method. The idea is to get companies to force the idea of more formal email writing as a required company policy. Require that emails be laid out like formal letters, company details, proper greetings, proper sign off, reasonably writing skills displayed (do not leave the company looking like the employed primary school children). When some one sends a bad email, they are challenged and required to resend it properly written. You might think of it all as a huge hassle but guaranteed people will only send emails with they have something to say, rather than empty nothings, cluttering up every ones in boxes. Formal letter writing for emails will improve emails and hugely reduce their number (stopping to think about how you craft that email will get people to stop and think about what they are putting in that email). Perhaps more formal email forms to be filled it and the email wont be sent until they are fully filled in and a spelling and grammar check is also required to be done and confirmed. You will spend much more time producing emails but still save time compared to dealing with all those pointless emails.
The difference between online and normal social engagements is you are connected to a far broader and more diverse range of people ie in my younger days, regional towns in queensland had black hotels and white hotels and you did not go into the wrong hotel unless you wanted problems (this being a more extreme form of social separation, another extreme form being in prison versus not being in prison). What the online environment does to push many differing social groups to interacting together. So the problem with twitter is not the bullshit on twitter, the problem is the problems on twitter are spreading beyond twitter ie other communications channels spreading twitter madness. Want twitter to be less problematic simply ignore it, do not re-report anything from it, do not participate in it, let them climb their outrage trees and scream at each other all they want. If it shifts from screaming on twitter to actual confrontations let the police deal with it. From the beginning of twitter everyone was told exactly how it would turn out and all the problems associated with it and that it was best to leave it alone. The Marketdroids got hold of it and made it worse by linking it to main stream media as another marketing and public relations channel and made it far worse. Simply drop twitter.
Dude, wake up to yourself, different strokes for different folks because it is in error for you does not make it an error for everyone else. For you obviously someone obliviously entering you home in dirty clothes, tracking footprints to your once clean lounge suite, yeah, how well do you handle that. Could it possibly be that you do not reflect majority behaviour and how much would you be harmed by the thought that feaces particles of all description float about within your place of residents, including your own http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2..., have fun with that story.
Doesn't really affect the original owner as it is not just a key but a key tied to a user and password. They can try stealing and selling user accounts and that would cause Steam massive problems as they would be penalised in many countries for affecting the accounts of customers. Just because you haven't used a purchased key, does not mean that key is not already tied to your account and your specific hardware.
Just a warning to everyone, lots of little databases are a hassle and cost more to administer but when one it broken and tiny bit of information is stolen. Big databases with everything in it, including the kitchen sink, cheaper to administer but when it gets broken into you lose everything. Just another typical event in the war between idiot bean counters who know nothing and intelligent risk assessing network admins.
It really did serve the public interest in high lighting the typical main stream media lie, of who psuedo celebrities really are (tiny dick betrayers) versus the main stream media fabricated image of the product to be sold to a gullible public. So exposing a lie is challenged because it diminishes the profits from a corporate investment lie. So this civil suit and bankruptcy simply do more to highlight the lowlights of main stream media and the ugly little realities behind those massive steroid pumped up charades.
Nah, there is no such thing as an operating system for typical consumer targeted appliances, it pretty much disappears in the background. M$ is dead on consumer appliances and with the Windows 10 probe leaving a permanent memory of 'M$ watching you masturbate' in everyone's minds, never able to cum (tee hee) back. Android with it's someone messy java layer looks to be a lock in. Now can that java layer be fixed to provide better access for high end games and be an extension to a more typical Linux distribution like Ubuntu, to provide greater access to interactive content.
Apple of course is not so much loosing market share, their high end market remains the same, they are simply not picking up the rapidly expanding low end of the market for smart phones, where the much more competitive and diverse Android systems are taking by storm (so larger market and Apples percentage drops but they retain the same sales because their part of the market was already buying smart phones years ago). Apple pushing privacy was a really smart well timed moved and did real damage to M$ on consumer products (they now hate using windows no matter what the public relations firms claim, that whole windows anal probe 10 a really stupid move by M$ and now demanding people pay for the probe even more insulting, paying to have their privacy stolen, talk about arrogance, mind boggling).
The first step is patience, let the tools spread and behind a wave of script kiddie attacks, the NSA launches a global back door offensive, trying to stick in as many back doors as possible behind a wave of script kiddie attacks, some of which will be prosecuted as cover. A stolen idea back from when crackers (before main stream media renamed them hackers), distributed their software to provide cover for their activities and have the heat taken off when those script kiddies get busted. Kind of odd making the leak public but their are lots of good people at the NSA who would not approve of this kind of criminal activity, by corrupt political appointees, so publicise the release of those NSA tools, rather than have honest NSA agents report that NSA tools were used in a criminal fashion.
If the majority of us are lucky, a tiny destructive majority can get their jollies raping and abusing their under age bots (royalty, billionaires, politicians, Hollywood celebrities and the odd lesser criminal) and leave the rest of us right out of their mess, cough, cough, whilst peacefully masturbating ;D (this being the apparent truth, as I find out years ago on women's forums, why married men spend so long in the toilet and married women spend so long in the shower, being a single male I was curious as to why both of those were the recognised truth but being single I had no idea why they would do that ie no need to spend long periods of time in a toilet or in a shower, quite the humorous truth).
Every one seems to have forgotten the whole saga of crackers (before main stream media twisted the term hackers) and script kiddies (people who could not write code to save themselves). Crackers would purposefully give away their hacking software to provide cover for their own activities (multiple un-associated sources of that particular attack, clumsy sources who will get arrested and draw heat away from the real cracker, as well as those people turning themselves into bots for the cracker, generally not a good idea as it provides a digital link back to the cracker).
So a bunch of stuff leaked looks much more like a planned mass attack on many countries infrastructure to get back doors in and this to be hidden by a hoped for plague of script kiddies, some of whom will be busted as being the source of the attacks, whilst the NSA skulks in the background as the actual source for by far the majority of attacks. Not even an original idea.
Lets show some sound economic common sense. They are not giving away stuff free, they are feeding knowledge back into the community in order to get ideas back, often for free. Knowledge only has value when it is kept alive, buried and forgotten it is worthless, out there and circulating means it is generating new ideas, that is quite simply the way it works and it is a very economically sound and logical idea for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to promote. Also they have recruitment issues and the need to get potential new recruits willing to learn the knowledge NASA needs to keep advancing (knowledge those trainees foot the bill for). So NASA needs to promote space industries, space employment and a future for many more citizens in space and it needs to release knowledge, multi-media content and even free computer games, we are either going for evolve from our cocoon planet into the rest of the galaxy or disappear from the galaxy stuck in that cocoon. Now all they need to do is figure out how to shift all the wasted war dollars into long term investment space dollars (quite a long, long, term investment, but the payback is quite literally the galaxy, well, at least a significant part of it ;) ).
