There is always the Wikipedia thread. Read through specific articles, every time to come across something you don't understand with a link, follow that link and repeat (use that back button to return you to the higher level article and continue). Eventually you will fill the gaps. Don't forget to follow the resources links at the bottom of an article often they will lead you better information resources. So far I have found that method to be quickest to build up information on a specific topic without getting buried in information I am not currently interested in. Read through a dozen or so interconnected articles and you build up a decent background of information and certainly have sufficient to with the additional resources linked by those articles to get even more if required.
Ideally that is only part of the step. What you can do is interconnect all schools globally (upon mutually acceptable terms) allowing for more specialisation within particular schools but other schools having access to that specialisation. Create a school specific internet, one that is safe for children to connect to from home not only for homework but also for safe browsing, safe social network, and safe entertainment.
Lots of bandwidth enables the sharing of resources, reduces the replication of administration and service costs, enables are greater spread of global understanding between the young in a supervised educational environment and enables the create of a children safe network 24/7. Connect universities to primary and secondary schools and student teachers can gain supervised access to students in order to evaluate the student teachers and provide students falling behind with free tutor services.
Prospective employers can add to the school network providing free training packages, that of course promote working for the company but also ensure extra education courses target the employers needs. With lots of bandwidth and every student with a computer you start to create a lot more flexibility within the system and can more effectively tailor the education experience to try to being the best out of what is available from each student, no miracles of course.
If you are going to stick to burning, it is smarter to go co-generation. Instead of a normal hot water service, have a small gas turbine motor running powering a generator and use the waste heat for your hot water service ie. you would only run it when you needed to heat your water but at least you getting some electricity out of the combustion process (you could even carry the principle over to stoves). The whole idea of course is to stop burning stuff, it really is a rather primitive way to generate energy and not suited to providing energy for billions upon an 'equal' basis, rather than the current, insanely obscene extreme users, regular users and those living in poverty using barely any at all.
Firstly before absolutely anything research the accessible ISPs to find out what they can provide in terms of service and how much this will cost to be provided, both in terms of initial connection to the building and in running cost. Also what happens should all the occupants not take up the service with regards to ISP charges to continuing users. Forget all about network costs in the building largely arbitrary until you have locked in the provision of service and had that accepted by the majority. How easy or difficult it will be to switch to another ISP, what will it cost, duration of ISP contract etc.
Fussing about with the network in the Condo before sorting out the ISP is like putting the cart before the horse. Firstly sort out the ISP and put a range of options forward. Once you have agreement in principle on that, you can start wasting computer networking companies with quotes on networking the structure and providing the required ISP connection point, what ever that may end up being.
Are you kidding. People use social network sites to mostly have fun. What is the point of adding in this kind of rating system when all you will do is make using the social network too much hard work and basically the only safe way to use it, is not to use it. People will simply shift to an easier to use social network.
Here's a hint if you have to choose between the betrayer, someone who promised hope and change and the person who you know is going to screw, always choose the person who you know is going to screw you.
Why, with the person who you know is going to screw you know what to set up your defences for, you know how far they are going to go, you know their limits and you have an understanding of how they can be controlled. With the betrayer you have nothing, except they already betrayed you and this was only the first round of betrayal, what the lying cheating scumbag psychopath felt they could get away with and still have a chance at a second shot, of screwing over the gullible progressive liberals. Inevitably the second term will be far worse, nothing to hold back on the betrayal, no limits on their chance for personal enrichment at the public expense, as a showman this is their last chance on the stage and there last shot at the suckers.
Oh no, the golden age of content is yet to come. You'll see the golden age arrive when true life animation and virtual robotics (characters and scenery elements) arrives. When animation engineers can write up an animation specification and the computer animation program using the virtual robots converts it into content. Where there is a huge environment of free open source virtual robots to use in your script. A lot of work will still need to be done but only a small fraction of what is required today. Then you will see a real flood of content that will after a decade make the back catalogue seem small in comparison. Inevitably it will also be the golden age of science fiction in video content, for the most obvious reason, it will nerds and geeks doing the animation engineering.
Especially on weapons that can easily and readily be 'EDITED' and turned around and used against the citizens unknowingly funding it. The really stupid bit is no defence can be created against those weapons and distributed to the public because the supposed 'enemy' becomes aware of them and can access them. Of course this means playing, how to put it politely, playing fuckwit's blind man's bluffs with the bugs that you find hoping some other governments or criminal haven't found them and are going to exploit them.
You really have to look at the whole picture to see how blindingly stupid it well and truly is, what kind myopic morons indulge in it and the shallow thinking, brain dead, idiotic buffoons who authorise it. Not being a lover of M$ but in the case of stuxnet the US government apparently authorised an attack on the commercial viability of the software in terms of security that likely cost them billions in lost sales, really fucking bright. So for any foreign country that gets burnt by a commercial bug or security fault, don't ever keep it a secret, publicly advertise it as loudly as possible and right royally screw over the commercial software company that produced the software, which logically will come from the same country that is choosing to exploit it, instant public revenge many times more costly than the attack.
Which of course means wedding videos are subject to copyright fees for the licensed music contained within. This will be the obvious next step asserting copyright bans on all privately recorded content not matter how little prior copyrighted content they might contain, background music, a distant billboard image, an accidentally hummed tune, a passing resemblance in plot in part or in whole to copyrighted content. Watch out if you make a phone call with music playing in the background, expect to pay a licence fee for broadcast or be instantly cut off.
Other people's children are not their possessions, they are not their pets, and they are not free to do as they will to them. Other people's children are mini-citizens with all the rights of protection and the right to be informed of other citizens, they just don't have the responsibilities of a citizen. Other people who have the care of children, whether those children are the product of the loins of those other people or adopted or fostered are bound by the norms of the society that they are a part of and are 'REQUIRED' to care for and inform those children as appropriate, no bloody game of simpeople molesting the minds of minors for what ever deluded reasons you feel appropriate.
Freedom of speech, you are free to voice your 'OPINION' you are not free to lie, to make up any kind of bullshit, to deceive, to defraud or to abuse the minds of children. The is no right to keep children ignorant of the world around them bound in the constitution. You are free to add a layer of pseudo religious babble to the top of it but you have no right to keep them wallowing in ignorance.
More specifically shooting 'MANY" people at once is possible with guns doing so with other weapons is very difficult. The whole idea of criminalising weapons is being readily able to prosecute the criminals who will hold onto them. So yes law abiding citizens will had in their weapons and when it comes to random run ins with the police, who will feel more secure and have less reason to violence, will not get arrested and sent to jail for having an illegal firearm. Criminals being who they are by nature, thrive upon the possession of weapons as such will inevitably leave themselves wide open for search, seizure, prosecution and imprisonment, allowing for a substantial reduction in crimes just by the pursuit of gun control laws.
If you register with Google they have a blocked search site list for up to 500 blocks, to filter out content from particular sites you might be sick of seeing.
This pay for listing, is really bid to bullshit, the highest bidder get the best bullshit to feed to the end user. A higher listing on price performance than reality reality would provide. Basically Google is doing nothing but selling end user trust and gullibility, precisely how Alta Vista screwed itself as a search engine.
Most likely the most sane approach rather than trying to censor the whole of wikipedia would be to create another version of wikipedia a little behind in terms of edits but one that has been reviewed as suitable for minors. So rather than blocking anything you create another version where only content that has passed suitable for minors muster can appear.
The same can be said for copyrighted content. How can google differentiate between legal and illegal channels. I have many DVD's google can not block my attempts to advertise the content as available for sale should I decide to sell them versus someone else attempting to sell multiple pirated copies of content. So it is about not blocking any legal distribution of copyrighted content, not one, whilst attempting to block all pirated content every single one ie that differentiation is impossible without personal reviewing as substantiating every single outlet.
The RIAA/MPAA are whining about the cost of doing just that and are trying to dump that cost on everyone else private or government, pretty much just be typical greedy shit heads.
It is not about what is available when it is all about everything being available all of the time and having to compete for the viewers eyes. There are thousands of times more content produced than any person can consumer. Already in terms of individual user accessibility the internet can be considered to be infinite, more content is continually being created than any single person can consume, let alone what is already available.
That is the cruz of the problem for the pigopolists, the sheer volume of content available and no longer being able to throttle availability in order to artificially inflate the price. They don't want the new distribution models because that creates a further flood of competing content, which under the laws of supply and demand, further suppresses the profit margins chargeable. It is all greed and bullshit, using deceitful marketing techniques to inflate desirability of new content whilst simultaneously burying back catalogues of content to limit competition for viewers in order to substantively inflate profit margins.
All part and parcel of celebrityism, the artificial creation of creatures of worshop out of empty headed narcissists in order to sell every kind of crap product imaginable including bullshit politicians. Prime example the multimillion dollar George Clooney fund raiser for Barack Obama all to pay for Obama filling the department of justice with RIAA/MPAA lawyers, so a crock of shit to pay for more crocks of shit.
Not to forget CSIRO does a whole bunch of research that they give away absolutely free. It was only the right wing ass hats Liberal Party that demanded all CSIRO research must generate a 'Profit' ie research for pesticides is OK but research using natural predators to controls pest is bad (don't get to sell pesticides etc.). Fortunately this idea was tossed out as basically evil and CSIRO still do a lot of free to access research http://www.csiro.au/. The whining about this patent is likely because money going to CSIRO is a double loss for the greedy, having to pay and a lot of that payment going to free to access research.
You are confusing email, the protocol, with email the communications medium. The protocol needs tightening to improve reliability and security but that has very little to do with the communications medium. Email is quite simply the electronic version of snail mail, a more formal means of communication where the sender and the recipient can keep a clear record of communications. In fact over time emails are becoming much more formal, and far more resembling old world letters than original rather informal email.
Email will continue and thrive as people will continue to require formal track able communications. It is likely that the protocol will tighten up over time.
I see that you left out the bit that only 8,000 where interviewed. Interviewing implies those polled were the ones who wished to spend time giving their opinions of religion, this tends to favour those who are overtly religious. No information on how the interviewees were selected ie where people selected leaving religious buildings, were only males selected dressed in traditional garb for instance.
So pointless poll based upon gaining answer the poll producers wanted. All those countries have governments, seriously with 80% want religious rule they have religious rule, baring having an autocracy in charge. Hang out at Baptist Churches in the deep south of the US and you can get equally stupid answers to interview questions that in no way reflect the attitudes of the majority of Americans.
Liberals and progressive treat all fundamentalist religious types the same, largely ignore them, avoid pointless discussions with them and, when the prattle wild nonsense just point out the errors. It is no coincidence where liberals and progressives are in the minority religious morons screw everything up. The more religious morons and the fewer liberals and progressives the worse things are and straight up scale of stupidity versus intellect. Liberal and progressives also don't discriminate between religious fundamentalists lumping them all together. Christianity, woohoo, the inquisition and the crusades, there's something to be celebrated, 'NOT'.
This is dangerous software designed to attack regular business and users PCs. Once discovered in target countries in will be analysed, edited and returned in spades. So the local populace is largely unaware and defenceless when their computers, networks and bank accounts go down. For once and all cyber warfare is purely a defensive war once bloody morons go on the offensives they will just cripple the systems of people whom they are meant to be protecting.
Simplest revenge attack, inform local technology police of the problem, protect your network and then hand of the attack software to global organised crime and let them have fun, cost you very little to cripple the opposition and people within their own country will do you work for you. Of course this will pretty much bugger the whole system up, as organised crime is loyal to no one and the majority of your citizens will be slow on protecting their systems.
Once the software weapons get out, the always go out of control and all thanks to blind idiots pursuing myopic goals with zero big picture focus.
Consider what the oil executives just did in the Mexican Gulf, all with full knowledge that people would die. Transocean profited with a over-insured claim. Haliburton talk a bunch of criminal short cuts and walked away. BP never gave a crap as long as it was cheap.
The question is would these same ass hats fund groups, that regardless of the political claims would launch attacks on alternate and competing energy generations, buying off politicians, spending millions of lobbyists and more direct methods.
Then you have governments seeking more police powers for the growing conflict between the rich and middle class. Again make deceitful claims of global conspiracies between radical individuals in different countries. I mean really thee attacks in three different countries, now that's pretty lame, even if you try to lump into all into one super group. In that same time three years, what were the total number of murders, shootings and arson attacks, something in the thousands even tends of thousands and that is less dangerous than these three attacks. Yet the only reason they ignore those tens of thousands of crimes is because the police are too busy pursuing drug users, woohoo and Barack Obama has ramped up the drug war by launching attacks on medical marijuana facilities.
Damn, kick Barack Obama out, let Mitt Romney know in no uncertain terms he also will be kicked out if he fails to put an end to the drug war and you immediately release something like 50,000 law enforcement agents to tackle a few radical anarchists, as well as a bunch of crooked oil executives and a whole pack of conspiratorial bankers, people who Barack Obama has also ignored (not to forget a false war and torturers) to focus on the great arch (Saturday afternoon cartoon) criminal Kim Dotcom in the great collapsing megaupload case, well down Obama.
The point is you don't attempt to turn an adults network into suitable for toddlers network because of lazy parents. If you want a child suitable internet you specifically create one.
Why bother with drones. Face it playing war is pretty much down to who can spend the most effectively for the longest. Long range smart cruise missiles at a few million dollars a pop, with very large warheads that only need to come in the general vicinity of a modern fragile very expensive combat aircraft, or given a big enough warhead a whole flight of very expensive aircraft (even drones) and you readily win the dollar battle with a handy lead. Stealth supersonic cruise missiles win against pretty much anything, except of course against other stealth supersonic cruise missiles, no wonder they created the please do not make superior long range stealth supersonic cruise missiles treaties.
Catch with that is, the psychopath is out to screw everyone including the company and if the psychopath can make the most by screwing over the company, guess who gets it in the neck. Normally things look great for a year or two, maybe even three with the psychopath in charge and then everything goes boom. Sometimes it will last longer if you give the psychopath a piece of the company, but they you might be in the way of their getting the rest of the company and you go boom. Psychopath employment is pretty much playing Russian Roulete with half the chambers loaded, more than one person gets the bullet and it could be you.
However there seems to be a real failing in this law to differentiate between push and pull 'sic' cuber-bullying. The bully visiting you and hurling insults versus you visiting the bully and being insulted or meeting on neutral ground and being insulted. What level of exchange constitutes bullying and minors versus adults. Of course why minors are even on an adult network when minors are not allowed unaccompanied in any other adult forums like night clubs or hotels, well that another story, perhaps it has something to with corporations and politicians wanting to be able to censor whom ever they choose to censor for what ever reason they can stretch into law.
Not a problem. Company owns a bunch of patents as soon as it decides to go patent trolling it creates a new $2 company and shifts the trolling patent into that. If it wins the profits transfer back to the parent company, if it loses it goes belly up and the parent company loses a now worthless patent, cue, schadenfreude laughter. Fines unpaid, debts unpaid and triple damages, ohhh, yeah, make it tens times, hundreds times, even a thousand times, makes no difference not one cent paid.

If you are going to stick to burning, it is smarter to go co-generation.

Stealth supersonic cruise missiles win against pretty much anything, except of course against other stealth supersonic cruise missiles, no wonder they created the please do not make superior long range stealth supersonic cruise missiles treaties.
Catch with that is, the psychopath is out to screw everyone including the company and if the psychopath can make the most by screwing over the company, guess who gets it in the neck. Normally things look great for a year or two, maybe even three with the psychopath in charge and then everything goes boom. Sometimes it will last longer if you give the psychopath a piece of the company, but they you might be in the way of their getting the rest of the company and you go boom. Psychopath employment is pretty much playing Russian Roulete with half the chambers loaded, more than one person gets the bullet and it could be you.
However there seems to be a real failing in this law to differentiate between push and pull 'sic' cuber-bullying. The bully visiting you and hurling insults versus you visiting the bully and being insulted or meeting on neutral ground and being insulted. What level of exchange constitutes bullying and minors versus adults. Of course why minors are even on an adult network when minors are not allowed unaccompanied in any other adult forums like night clubs or hotels, well that another story, perhaps it has something to with corporations and politicians wanting to be able to censor whom ever they choose to censor for what ever reason they can stretch into law.
Not a problem. Company owns a bunch of patents as soon as it decides to go patent trolling it creates a new $2 company and shifts the trolling patent into that. If it wins the profits transfer back to the parent company, if it loses it goes belly up and the parent company loses a now worthless patent, cue, schadenfreude laughter. Fines unpaid, debts unpaid and triple damages, ohhh, yeah, make it tens times, hundreds times, even a thousand times, makes no difference not one cent paid.
