The new BMW X5 Security Plus is AK47-proof
Article Summary
BMW is extending its range of security vehicles with the new BMW X5 Security Plus, a car that will keep you safe as long as your assailants have nothing more than AK 47 weaponry, and it could just be one of those luxury extras to come into vogue in troubled times. At least occupants will be shielded from unintentional bullets if they stumble across a gun battle and if someone pops up beside your driver's side window with a handgun intent on carjacking you, you can now safely pull faces and show them the bird, providing of course, you've locked the door. Personally, if you're in grave danger and must travel regardless, may we recommend the late Saddam Hussein's favorite wheels, the Rhino Runner. For more on the BMW X5 Security Plus ...

Mar 13, 2014This film is the definition of terrible! It has more plot holes than I can count, this films time travelling rules are about as backwards as its storyline, it had random telekinetic abilities stuck in that had no influence on the story at all. And the ending made the whole film pointless since it apparently shouldn't have happened.

Jul 28, 2013this movie is held together barely by duct tape logic. The producers really cashed in on people who just want a total escape into absurdity really so many holes the cast should've felled to their deaths but somehow they managed to live. Great entertainment loved this movie i really liked campy time travel logic i really loved going down the rabbit hole.

Feb 3, 2013Good movie, horrible unnecessary ending so many other possibilities that should have been explored. This movie has it's own time travel rules. I really don't know what else to say.
Jan 26, 2013Looper is a movie that has an interesting story to some degree but from the mindless action scenes to the and incoherent editing, Looper fails miserably like Bruce Willis's acting.

Jan 6, 2013The problem with this movie is, that it tries to be taken as a serious piece of work. But fails, becasue of the many loop holes in the plot. On the positve side, the cast did a great job. But that wasnt enough, to save this movie.

Nov 9, 2012Slightly Interesting story - a bit confused at times mixing too much diverse sci-fi into the same story. Good acting and direction. HORRIBLE violence -- its way to excessive and gory at times and un-necessarily so. It makes Tarentino look like a sissy. And that's not easy to do, neither is it a good thing to achieve.
Nov 7, 2012Well... What to say... I think they really tried to make an intelligent movie but they kind of fail. That's too bad because the idea wasn't bad but too many things are out of place. The actors, they're not bad but not really good either, none of them is really engaging.
I'd say go see this movie if you don't think too much and you are a bit bored because still the action scenes are not that bad. -

Oct 24, 2012Apparently the method of time travel movies is to show the same scene over and over again to see if the outcome can be changed. The effect is numbing. J. Gordon Leavitt is talented, but he is gotten up to look like Keanu Reeves and acts accordingly. Bruce Willis has only his smirk left. I lasted a bit less than an hour.

Oct 11, 2012What happened to cinema, Looper is a terrible film, reasons are 1. shaky cam 2. baby being shot 3. poor writing 4. not believable. Joespeh gordon levitt really gave a poor performance as well as the others. The best scenein the film was the credits, everything was so off. It was unwacthble, do not see this, my nan approved this message.
Oct 11, 2012Attempt at cerebral sci-fi let down by endless plot holes and a feather-headed lack of logic... First the good
Oct 10, 2012Seeing the trailer I thought:
- great idea
- great actors
- must see
After seeing the movie:
- a great idea is not enough without a proper storyline
- great actors with poor story and dialogue, poor direction and poor make-up (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are worth nothing
- why on Earth did I fell for the trailer???? -

Oct 2, 2012I dont like this movie. its too much like bladerunner and is not original at all. It was the biggest waste of 9 dollars and two hours of my life. No one should see this movie.
Oct 1, 2012
Oct 1, 2012I'm confused and a little shocked at the reviews. I heard a rave review on NPR and so my husband and I went to see it. We both found it boring and a mix of too many not very interesting things. It never really made up it's mind what it wanted to be. I should have watched the trailer first. My advice would be to skip it. Emily Blunt and the kid were the only redeemable features for us.
Sep 30, 2012Good idea, lousy execution. Needed a couple of more rewrites. If you think you're getting an exciting action movie, you're not. A depressing bloody film. Why is it that Hollywood always has the future depicted as dirty, depressing and crime-ridden? The interesting concept makes it a fair DVD rental. Save the big movie theatre bucks for something else.

Sep 28, 2012
For all its mayhem, runs like a mad and slightly sad machine, whirring with hints of folly and regret, and the ending, remarkably, makes elegant sense to a degree that eludes most science fictions. How to describe it, without giving anything away? Scrambled, but rare. [1 Oct. 2012, p.84]
Looper felt to me like a maddening near-miss: It posits an impossible but fascinating-to-imagine relationship...and then throws away nearly all the dramatic potential that relationship offers. If someone remakes Looper as the movie it could have been in, say, 30 years, will someone from the future please FedEx it back to me?
I'm not ready to proclaim Looper a sci-fi masterpiece just yet; let's let it sit awhile. But it's a lean, mean, smart, violent picture with a bit of Stanley Kubrick edge, fueled by the terrific Gordon-Levitt.

Pass the buck and point the finger
September 30, 1998 8:00 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, Finger Pointer-in-Chief and President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsDigital television will get here soon, but the broadcasters, TV manufacturers and movie-makers are squabbling with each other over various last-minute details. This squabbling could blossom into huge battles that delay the deployment of digital television, or they could be settled quickly. While new disputes seem to arise every month, this month's hot topics are copy protection, V-chip content ...
Who killed DTV?
September 30, 1998 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown, Editor | CommentsLet the finger-pointing officially begin. The long-awaited transition to digital television is running into snags. Given its complexity, that probably doesn't come as a surprise to most engineers. But for politicians and others, it's shaping up to be a public embarrassment. With digital TV scheduled to go live in November, you can be sure that if there are delays, regulators will come looking f...
Morphing to a software-centric future
September 30, 1998 8:00 pm | by Craig Kuhl, Contributing Editor. | CommentsThe morphing of the cable industry from its traditional hardware-centric mentality to a more complex and puzzling software-centric bent is affecting even the most pro-active cable operators, and with them, a whole generation of vendors who are scrambling to find the ideal network management and application software solutions.
Putting the right pieces in place
September 30, 1998 8:00 pm | by John Mattson, Manager, Product Marketing, Broadband Networks; and Jim Forster, Distinguished Engineer, Cisco Systems Inc. | CommentsCable operators and their affiliates building broadband cable modem networks are experiencing exceptional demand growth. This expansion in subscribers and services is projected to accelerate through the remainder of 1998 and 1999, and is a major reason for the growing market value of most players within the cable industry.
Will new content push HFC's limit?
August 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Fred Dawson, Contributing Editor | CommentsThe cable industry will soon be confronted with a paradigm shift in interactive television that could drastically affect how operators design their networks and even how they make money. In a nutshell, the new challenge arises from the fact that, contrary to previous assumptions, consumers are likely to have a wide range of sources to choose from for access to long-form, on-demand television vi...
Must-carry, Firewire and PSIP
August 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, Must-Carry Maven and President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsThe FCC has proposed seven alternatives for must-carry policies during the transition from today's analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting. These range from requiring cable systems to start carrying all digital TV broadcasts as soon as they begin, to not requiring any digital carriage until all analog broadcasts have terminated, and a variety of intermediate alternatives.
Falling, with style
August 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown, Editor in Chief | CommentsAlready, the local telephone marketplace is experiencing consolidation frenzy, with SBC Communications, Bell Atlantic (and maybe) US West seemingly poised to control the country's local connections. Long distance carriers AT&T and MCI are either making acquisitions or are being acquired as well. AT&T, of course, announced its intention to buy Tele-Communications Inc.
Squeezing Cadillac services into economy plant
August 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Don Sipes, Vice President of Technology, Transmission Network Systems, Scientific-Atlanta | CommentsCable services that once were considered futuristic, such as interactive video-on-demand, fast Internet access and IP telephony, are quickly becoming today's reality, and their rapid rise is placing increasing demands on the hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks that provide them. Today's advanced networks must provide for reliable two-way communications, scalability to support ever-increasing amoun...
Pushing fiber deeper in HFC networks
August 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Dr. Lawrence A. Stark, VP Strategic Marketing; and Bill Moore, VP and General Manager for Broadband Communications | CommentsIf you are a cable TV system engineer, you can't be blamed for feeling just a little bit smug these days. It wasn't that long ago that everywhere you looked, national publications such as Forbes, Wired, The Wall Street Journal, etc. were pushing and shoving to be the first to hang the cable industry out to dry.
Implementing DWDM-based networks
August 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Esteban Sandino, Manager of Advanced Network Technologies; and James W. Neil, Project Engineer, TCI Communications Inc. | CommentsDense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) has emerged as a practical alternative for implementation of HFC networks. The basic principle involves the transmission of multiple wavelengths over a single fiber strand to individual fiber hubs. These wavelengths are selected from the 1550 nm optical transmission grid as defined in the ITU wavelength standard.
Details of the FCC's Navigation Devices decision
July 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, Set-top Box Navigator and President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsCable subscribers will be allowed to buy and own their own cable boxes, and connect them to the cable network. An interface being worked out by CableLabs will allow the operator-supplied security element to be separated from the customer-owned digital set-top box. One surprise is that after 2005, this security interface is mandatory; cable operators will not be allowed to provide boxes with emb...
Potential merger impacts
July 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown, Editor in Chief | CommentsFor example, I still wonder how the two cultures will co-exist. Can AT&T shed its monopolistic legacy and actually become a communications company that thrives in a competitive world? Clearly, the company's leaders recognize that it must make that transition, but it's easier said than done. And what about Cable Television Laboratories? It counts on TCI for about $2.
Taking a close look
July 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Fred Dawson, Contributing Editor | CommentsAT&T's decision to purchase Tele-Communications Inc. no doubt will add clout to the cable industry's efforts to drive HFC technology development, but it remains to be seen whether the deal becomes a force for cohesion or upheaval as the industry pursues deployment of advanced services. The two-sided nature of the potential impact the AT&T/TCI deal might have on the cable industry was la...
July 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Dana Cervenka, Managing Editor | CommentsReady or not, here it comes. Broadcasters will begin transmitting some high definition television programming late this fall, and have announced their chosen HD formats: NBC and CBS have committed to 1080i, while ABC and Fox have opted to use 720p. Given that cable operators reach about 67 percent of all TV households in the U.
Taking charge of the in-home network
July 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown, Editor | CommentsImagine a consumer's home that includes a digital TV, a digital VCR, a digital cable set-top, and various other gadgets like stereo systems, computers and camcorders all interconnected. The power of such a home "network" would be immediately apparent in that consumers could view programs or information from any of the above-named sources without problems.

Will it give GCC compiled apps any boost on execution?
I can see FFMPEG and similar projects can seriously take advantage of that.
Or even GCC itself. Like kernel compilation for example.
Also, only some special apps can take advantage of this new thingy or theoretically all?(providing they are multiprocess apps)
is it integer vs floating point sorta thing?

Dec 13, 2012Bruno Mars does no wrong!!! , Once again Bruno Mars succeeds to go above and beyond and make an outstanding album!! This is even better than his first album ( and that is tough title to beat!! ) but he did it, Im amazed!!

Dec 11, 2012this is the album i waited for well done bruno! many different styles on this album, that it never becomes boring. He has taken the risky path that not many choose to take with a sophmore album, but it paid off big time.
Give this album a chance -
Dec 11, 2012Bruno Mars has proven with this album that he is not a one-trick-pony. If you did not like his first album, I urge you to give Unorthodox Jukebox a chance. There are so many different styles on this album, that it never becomes stale or boring. He has taken the risky path that not many choose to take with a sophmore album, but it paid off big time.

Nov 11, 2013New reviewer reviewing my top cds of 2013 what can you say about bruno mars true brilliance, rock, r&b, etc. he has a prince feel on one song and an old school r&b feel on another rock and sting are present i think he is one of the most intiguing and brilliant artists of our century.
Jul 24, 2013The music is still deliberately derivative yet fun and unshakeable, and the lyrics are still unpretentiously simple and ring with a truth that many can identify with.
With this album, Bruno Mars proves to naysayers that he is here to stay. -
May 8, 2013Just listened to the entire album. I really enjoyed it. Short and sweet and to the point. Very well done. Every song is worth listening to as there are only 11 songs with such variation and there isn't one that is "skippable". Each song tells a story coherently which is something that Frank Ocean may have lacked for me.
Mar 11, 2013Bruno Mars strikes back with an even better sounding album than before, fans like me should be really pleased.
Dec 20, 2012Is an excellent album that contains a bit of everything does not disappoint bruno, bruno is one of the greatest artists of this time and I hope it is much more some of his songs reminds me of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley shows bruno is heir to the king of Pop
Mar 24, 2013Bruno Mars Has Proven With This Album That He Has The Writing Skills And The Voice To Make One Of The Best Albums Of 2012!

Mar 3, 2014Just a really good album. The beats are awesome. My two favorite tracks: Treasure and Natalie The one I could have done without Show Me. I give this album a 9 out of 10. Thanks for reading.
Jan 3, 2013His second album is the same conventional mish-mash as his 6m-selling debut.
Dec 21, 2012Too many of the tracks seem more like very good imitations of song types than like actual songs.
Dec 18, 2012He's an undeniable talent, desperately searching for an identity to claim as his own.

"I am a sucker for anything metallic, and when I found out that Lush made a gold eyeliner, I bought it right away, even though I have never used liquid eyeliner before.
This has great stay, and once I put it on, it doesn't budge. It takes pretty heavy make-up

"I was struck by the magnificent, ancient trees," he recalls.
At the time, in 1978, he was working with a regional Navy forester. In the early 1980s he took over as the West Coast's head forester, managing some 15,000 forest acres owned by the military.
Briggs fell in love with 275 acres of that Navy land. It's a plot of old-growth timber surrounding Twin Lakes, part of the Jim Creek Naval Radio Station land east of Arlington. Jim Creek is a communications facility for Pacific Ocean submarines.
His love for the ancient trees, some just seedlings in the 7th century A.D., was tempered by reality. The Navy owned the land, but not the timber rights to the biggest and most inspiring -- and valuable -- trees. He soon learned that the ancient trees, many more than 200 feet tall and sporting a girth of 10 or 11 feet, were in imminent danger.
That's when he went to work, desperately trying to find a way to save them.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Walter Briggs measures a Sitka spruce in July 2011; eight feet above the ground, the tree is about 21-feet in circumference.
He was persistent.
"I pestered them for several years, suggesting that Scott Paper gift the timber to the federal government for a tax deduction, or exchange it for second-growth of equal value," Briggs wrote in his account of saving the huge trees. "I was determined to save the old-growth forest."
What those who eyed the forest for lumber didn't know is that Briggs, now 64, has unbounded energy, the enthusiasm of a golden retriever pup and the tenacity of a bear on the scent of honey.
A logging crew nearly came in during 1989 when Scott announced that it finally was going to harvest the old growth. But Briggs stalled the cutting with a reminder that the Navy still owned some of the smaller trees that were not "merchantable" timber in 1950, when the original land deal was done.
More survey work had to be done to determine which trees belonged to the Navy.
The Department of Defense had just created the Legacy Resource Management Program and allocated $10 million for use by all the services. Briggs immediately applied for the $3 million it would take to buy out Scott's cutting rights.
At first, Pentagon officials laughed at Briggs for seeking so much, but Briggs leaned on old friendships to push his request up the chain of command. He went to Washington, D.C., where he made his case to an assistant Navy secretary by showing slides and bubbling enthusiasm for the project.
Once the logging crews arrived, he explained, the forest would be gone forever.
He was given the $3 million he needed to buy the trees. On top of that, Navy brass made sure Briggs' work didn't go unnoticed. In 2005, Briggs was surprised with a dedication ceremony at the edge of the forest. That was when he found out it was being named for him: The Walter R. Briggs Old Growth Forest Area.
One usually has to be a president, or dead for five years or more, before the military names something after a person, Briggs said. An exception was made in this case, and Briggs proudly recites the identification number for the forest as listed by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names -- Feature ID 2079529.
Hardly a Navy dignitary who has visited the Puget Sound area has escaped a sometimes muddy trek into Briggs' forest. He's always anxious to show them the giants that live there.
"I want to emphasize the majesty of the area," Briggs said. "So I keep taking people out."
There's pride in what he has saved. Not to brag, but his accomplishment is also a life lesson about what a single person can do if he or she puts effort into it, he said.
"I think if I were a poet it would be easier to describe because it is not simply a matter of professional work. It's not simply coring trees and determining their ages. It's not just a matter of mapping the trees," Briggs said.
It's about a lot more.
"It's been a personal work of love, not only for the forest but what it has to offer to everybody," Briggs said. "You just stand there and look at these natural wonders and think about what's been going on there for the last 500 or 1,000 or 1,500 years."
Maybe the forest has been much the same all this time with occasional bears and cougars, squirrels and mice, slugs and snails, eagles and hawks.
There have undoubtedly been blow-downs and landslides. Maybe beavers have been even more active in the past and the lake level was once higher. Nature will take its course, but the land won't be savaged by human hand.
"The benefit extends way beyond me," Briggs said. "Generations to come can go in and see that forest intact as it is at that time. Will trees die? Yes. That's what happens to trees. Others will grow. You've seen the understory, the saplings that are there. When one of the big ones falls somebody's going to get more sunlight and take off. And after 400, 500 or 600 years it's going to be a great big magnificent tree."
Saving the forest is an accomplishment on many levels.
"Certainly on a professional level, a personal level, and emotional level a spiritual level it has been rewarding. It's been wonderful to be part of saving something that special, that impresses people simply by walking into it and standing there and saying, 'Oh, my gosh, look at that. That's a big tree,' " Briggs said
"I've had foresters from back East who can't believe the size of them. They've never seen anything that big. "They believe a tree 20 inches in diameter is big, he said.
"To come out and see these things that are 10 feet in diameter and over 200 feet tall, they are absolutely awe-struck," Briggs said. "Which is fun to see."
In part two of The Forest: For years, Herald journalists Jim Haley and Dan Bates had wanted to tell the story of one of our local old-growth forests. It took a few more years and some miserable, soggy hikes for them to reveal a bit of the ancient woods. In part two of this story, they'll show and tell what they found there.

Comments about 2,500 PSI 2.4 GPM Gas Pressure Washer:
After reading the manual and adding engine oil, the washer would not start. Upon pulling the top cover and pull-start assembly, I found a poorly-connected spark cable. The kill-switch was also improperly grounded. After correcting the above QC problems, the washer has worked flawlessly.

Internet, undoubtedly, is the 'Mare Nostrum' of our days... How can we ever reach consensus on how to regulate under "uniform standards", a universal communication (and trade) tool used by more than 1/3 of the world's population across the entire planet, within 193 countries?
If the PR of China (excluding both Special Administrative Regions: HK and Macau) was able to control and monitor its' use, was because it restricted the number of users to less than 40% of its population... Besides, governments of sovereign Nations can only exercise jurisdiction inside their own borders, but obviously can't exert control outside them: that's exactly what represents a "threat" to authoritarian governments (except for China, which has practically isolated itself with its' own "great firewall"): having the powerful light of truth shining over their arses, exposing them as what they really are: a bunch of oppressors.
Definitely, it'll continue to be in the best interest of Western developed (and developing) Nations to continue allowing the free flow of info: it's part of the very corollary of liberal-capitalism "laissez faire, laissez passer", in addition to the values of allowing the exercise of "individual liberties" and "very minimal intervention of governments in private lives"...
Regulatory bodies need to stop trying to control everything on the face of the planet. Imposing new controls on the internet will have far-reaching repercussions, that need desperately to be taken into account, owing to the dependence of everyone residing in the modern world on it. I agree with what's written at the end of the article, where it says that imposing such controls on the internet could make communication very expensive. This results in another factor that must be accounted for: a widening disconnect between nations, which in itself will completely change the way the modern world operates. So here are the big questions: by imposing controls on the internet, are we really willing to go travel back centuries? Are we willing to revamp the way we now operate? Are we willing to give up the comforts that the internet has brought? And most importantly, are we willing to give up the best platform where we can potentially make ourselves heard; are we willing to give up our voice?
It is unfortunate that so much programming effort is consumed in productivity sapping endeavors such as censorship and money and power skimming for ossified incumbents. There is so much useful work that could be done instead....
look at the players...african countries russia china on one side the modern west on the other...shackles to extract money (africa) and control china russia...russia is just being contrary to somehow regain some weight in international issues. what will these detractors offer other than filling the UN with more worthless bureaucrats drawing nice salaries and ways to spy or gum things up to their advantage?
ITU: "Hey, United States, almost all of us agree that ICANN shouldn't be in charge of this important function of the Internet. Hand it over."
USA: "No."
ITU: "Well, ok then."
A great dialogue. There have been many like it since 1945. Thirty or forty years ago it could have been:
XYZ: "Hey, United States, err... excuse us but... almost all of us agree that..."
USA: "No"
XYZ: "Ah, of course. Sorry!" --------------------------->>>
Not sure U.S. agrees on the principle of multilateralism!
I may just have a small inkling, feel free to correct me, that the United Nations did not exist in 1865, let alone the International Telecommunication Union.
ITU predates the League of Nations (est. 1918), which evolved into the UN (1947), as it was founded in 1865 to oversee the international postal systems and telegraphy. It is the oldest international agency in existence, which later became a UN specialized agency.
Access to and for Free Expression is a key Human Right. Progress, success and happiness depend upon Free Expression.
Until recently, the ability to read was the Great Divider, separating the haves and have-nots from knowledge and power to take control of their lives. Into the 20th Century, in some nations, reading was not widespread or considered important by governments to the welfare of citizens.
Now, paper publishing wanes in a world of scarce and poorly stocked libraries, even in the US. Now, access to knowledge, information and progress is democratized on the Web.
The power of the "Interwebnetz" is in access. Through equal, unfiltered access, everyone has the opportunity to learn anything and from each other, with room for any opinion or idea, wondrous and insightful, wacky or even downright dangerous.
There's the trouble: policies designed by governments for seemingly "good purposes" of protection us from things we universally abhor, like child victimization and fraud.
Insidiously, these rules are often written broadly enough to suppress well in excess of the intended purpose, both in degree and breadth, allowing wide latitude to redefine "bad" content or intent.
We all agree that some political systems are repressive, oppressive, or outright criminally cruel, It's easy to find examples of abuse in the "best" of them, too, like the US so-called Patriot Acts, an affront to personal liberty of a magnitude never before even attempted.
We may dislike some ideas, but the current establishment of Internet Fiefdoms scheme is creating a disaster for all people, in education, access and opportunity, though sometimes brutal suppression.
China has the Great Firewall, profoundly filtered. Folks in HK are filtered, too, but don't believe they are. Australia's single access-point for internet traffic is censored with a full kill-switch and China wants one.
We have learned over the years that Saudi Arabia has highly filtered internet, as do members of the UAE, including the host nation Dubai. Vietnam is heavily filtered and Burma has a kill-switch. Vietnam and China use live proctors to eavesdrop or read personal content. Others use technology: famously the NSA in the US is the prime example, monitoring traffic worldwide.
We do give up some privacy online, but that does not mean we should also lose the ability to teach ourselves and others, or to express ourselves... as we wish... even if others don't care for our interests. Barring any content other than criminal victimization, such as child abuse, rape, etc, starts a slippery slope of censorship that can result in just 300 web sites with highly moderated inoffensive content designed as propaganda or sales tools for governments and multinational mega-corporations. We face that future if any curtailment of Free Expression is entertained, squelching small voices that matter so much.
Internet access is being improved by NGOs as governments show disinterest in the Net as infrastructure if they cannot tax or censor it to death. Charitable NGOs provide access in places never electrified before in parts of Africa and Asia, a ray of hope for underprivileged, poor and UNDER-ACCESSED people to gain the advantages the rest of us enjoy. Some would prefer to impede this.
NET NEUTRALITY has pros (mostly) and cons, but CAN be served profitably.
It is reasonable for high bandwidth users to pay for "fatter pipes," as providers or consumer/subscribers, and Start-ups should get a free ride briefly to prove their concepts, worth and build cash flow, and then pay for fat pipes. As they hit thresholds, they pay the fees, to be reinvested in fat-pipe infrastructure creation worldwide.
Conversely, modest speed consumer/subscriber service should be free. Content Providers and ISPs earn revenues through ads and subscriptions, like TE. Terrestrial Radio and TV are good examples of this model. Content and/or speed upgrades should cost fees, but nearly the whole of the Web should be cost free at its base presentation to consumers.
Profitable or high bandwidth content providers should pay for the cost of the interwebnetz right up to the access-point in the consumer's home. Consumers pay via ad bombardment. Options including that which cannot be supported through ads, such as radical socio-political speech can be provided free or by subscriber fee.
Choice is key and the profiting parties should pay the way, with NO abridgment of speech, expression or choice to view or not as desired for access.
The Interwebnetz can never be allowed to be "owned" by any nations or corporations.
Censorship, single-sided propaganda and misdirection on large scales cannot be allowed to be the direction of the Interwebnetz. The specter of a 300 government/corporate websites world is too horrifying to contemplate.
The so-called ITU states- China, Russia, et al- are playing with fire. This is potentially one arena where their governments will stand alone against everyone else, literally. I can't imagine their own citizens feeling particularly warm and fuzzy about the level of control they want to gain over policing the internet, despite it being quite beneficial to the west's "soft power" as it currently stands.
Indeed, the fact that this is an issue at all suggests that the open-ended nature of the internet has so far been one of the most attractive and unifying forms that people the world over want.
Paradoxically, it is the LACK of unity that unifies disparate users in their attention to the net, and the web in particular. The cacophony of voices is what creates all of the joy with and angst over the web. Some delight in the free exchange of ideas, information, news and culture, and others will do anything possible to suppress any views or content they don't themselves like or agree with in principle or by fiat. Even THAT discourse cannot be allowed to be censored: the naysayers have as much right to their positions as the embracers. Other than learning to read, the Web is the most democratizing single human development in the history of humankind. It cannot be given over to any government or corporation, and should be wrested from the control of the ISPs as they have now. In my view, the Web and Internet are not yet free enough.
The Internet allows Paranoids to luxuriate in their conspiracies: finding phony research, conspiracy blogs and false facts to back their claims.
40% of the population has a diagnosable psychiatric illness.
It is no different on the internet.
40% of the posting are by the mentally unstable, irrational, addicted and crazy.
Combine this with on line predators, crime, viruses, and SPAM, and there is actually precious little valuable content on the internet.
Out of millions of websites, most people only visit a handful regularly. Over 99% are garbage.
Try Googling sites advocating marijuana, Pakistani religious schools, JFK assassination, or survivalist radiation protection.
It is the valuable role of an editor that makes anarchy into an electronic Switzerland.
Give a stupid person a computer and you do NOT end up with a smart person
=> you end up with a stupid person with a computer posting his views on the web.
The internet provides the soap box on the corner for the schizophrenic to broadcast his particular prediction for the world to end on May 28. Or Dec 22. Or on YK2000.
The Internet is as crazy as humankind. And needs to take its brain medicine.
The internet shows us that for many, education needs improvement.
And society does a poor job in mental illness screening and treatment.
I agree with you in much of what you say, but you forgot to mention two essential factors: age and experience. There are two kinds of people on the Internet:
—Those who had a real life—including an intellectual life—long before the Internet, Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, &c. existed, and who use them as a complement, not as the basic thing.
—The pure Internet creatures who didn't know anything before that and are totally conditioned by it. Quite often they don't buy, own or read books, the Internet provides everything!
I am NOT saying that all seniors and adults are educated, cultured and wise and all young people are stupid nutjobs, of course not, to think that would be inaccurate and unfair. One of the most intelligent guys I ever met was 19 years old, and he wasn't an exception. I am only saying that age and experience are very important factors and that the difference between the pre-Internet and post-Internet generations is essential, even if both use it.
There is a totally new phenomenon: any ignoramus (young or less young) using Google, Wikipedia, etc can try to compete with a scholar, providing information about topics they had never heard of six hours before. Sometimes even correcting the scholar, who is not a living encyclopaedia. Fortunately they give themselves away very quickly because they forget that culture and knowledge are not merely quantitative things, that no matter the amount of information one can gather one must know how to process it and interpret it, that different disciplines are interconnected, etc. That's one of the things one learns with age and experience. If you give an ape a keyboard (twenty years ago I would have said a typewriter...) it will play with it and actually learn to type, but what it "writes" will not be cogent or even legible.
As for the psychiatric side of the problem, as Kipling would say, that's another story...
But then who calls the shots on what gets posted, how it gets posted, and what everyone has to pay to do that. If you "filter-out" the "crazies" then you're also likely to 'filter-out' genuine contributors with good ideas to express. Censorship has been proven to be a truely vile and unfortunant solution. The internet should get the same treatment as speech in America. Either its all ok or none of it is ok; and if there is to be any limitations of content, its because its been thoroughly proven to be harmful to others.
Just because one crazy posts something doesn't mean its going to be viral and turn everyone crazy. Keep the internet as free open as possible and teach your children how to look for the valid and truthful just like in real life. Facts in all facites of life must be hunted and fought for, regardless of the medium they've never been handed over.
After reading all the other comments below I realized that within the context my comment is pretty off-topic. Sorry.
You better redneckanize!
You know what. I was planning to write a long (and perhaps long-winded) response to your comment. But then I realized that I agree with most of the points that you make.
What bothers me a little is the tone (which you have obviously modulated) of your posting.
I agree that some young people give too little credit to scholars, but I think this is part of a more positive larger trend: a kind of democratization of knowledge. (Though, unfortunately, since most people haven't taken courses on argument, rationality, or informal logic, most people are sadly lacking in their reasoning skills.)
Not at all. Circumlocutions and diversions are what make life interesting :) (Forgive my poorly edited comment below/above, by the way. I edited it (carefully), but I lost the changes.)
I don't have anything against the democratization of knowledge as long as that knowledge is used correctly, not just to play games or look smart or knowledgeable on the Internet.
I forgot to mention another very important distinction between people who interact and communicate in discussion fora, message boards and the like. There are those who are essentially the same persons in real life and in those places, so they would never do or say there what they wouldn't do or say in their real life. It's my case. But there are people who taking advantage of this,
adopt a totally different persona and thanks to anonymity and (relative) impunity feel free to do and say whatever they like, no honesty, no respect or self-respect, no courtesy, no nothing, just a silly game. What can happen to them? That they are insulted, despised and ignored? But it's the other 'persona', not themselves, so... That their accounts can be blocked or disabled? Well, they can register again with another e-mail account and a different nickname (another phenomenon I really dislike: sockpuppets, one-comment 'guests' with biased agendas, etc).
And let's face it, for each educated adult person doing this you will come across 50 or 100 teenagers, even educated ones. So size... and age matter! :-)
What part of my tone bothered you? My general tone or some concrete aspect of it? No, really, I would like to know this because I do take into account what other people—as long as I respect them, of course— may think about me in order to (try to) see myself from the outside and (try to) correct whatever should be corrected.
Ah, I missed your second post. "Not at all"... what? Are you telling me or are you telling yourself? (again this "tone" of mine).
"Circumlocutions and diversions are what make life interesting :)"
Aber natürlich! Of course! And a few other things. But intelligent circumlocutions and diversions, if possible.
Forgiven ;-)
the west often high handly accuses and punishes other emerging nations for products monopolies, subsidies or dumping as measures of western protectionism.
but the biggest monopoly and protectionism against emerging economies today is the iron-clad control of 'the internet' management.
By "iron clad control" you of course mean the complete absence of any control whatsoever do you not? I really enjoyed another commentator's suggestion that if the repressive regimes of the world truly desire control of the internet, they build their own internet and isolate themselves from the free world. I think this is a wonderful idea. Imagine, an internet free of 50 cent party comments.
you are of course badly wrong on this.
by "iron clad control" I mean of course the black box operation and monopoly of internet's address system by ICANN. it's protectionism pure and simple--any fool could see thru that.
yeah, an internet free of 50 cent party comments, or the anti-50 cent's nickle and dime party comments
@Enoc SunDec 3rd, 09:40, the TE featured post
you say: ' I live in China and I find usage of the Internet here atrocious.'
I don't care about your view one way or the other, but you ain't from china or living in china.
to lie to score a point is pointless.
I'm wondering what could be expected from the meeting other than uniform technology rules.
ITU wisely declines the missions this magazine zealously dwells on.
"Unknown" against transparency, availability and high odds for "others" to succeed...reminds me of Prometheus's story...thank you Economist, for enlightening us about looming prospects)))
Such international meetings as the one described in the article may be very beneficial to Dubai, that could try help it become something bigger. One of the topics would be about showing regulations on the Internet. Governments, including Russia, China and UAE argue that some contents can be harmful and are against national laws. Opponents are for freedom of any information on the web.
By all means hand the Internet over to the ITU. Let China, India, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Belarus, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, etc etc get their grubby little authoritarian hands on the Internet.
I'll just wait for its next incarnation that bypasses all the existing Internet infrastructure.
The sheer anarchy of the Internet is its best defence against the regulation these regimes thrive on.
If those countries mentioned really do end up establishing their own internet regime, I can imagine that would be just one more straw on the camel's back separating them from the developed nations. If these "developing" countries want to ever be taken seriously, their governments must stop living in fear of their own citizens and show some respect to their people.
I live in China and I find usage of the Internet here atrocious. Although I can appreciate the sentiment of ensuring a home-field advantage, I don't necessarily agree with protectionist policies helping domestic countries stay afloat or even prosper to the detriment of competition and definitely protest purposefully keeping your own people ignorant due to your own fear of their said ignorance.
You want your search engine to compete with a giant? Fine, freeze Googles ability to link with search results. You want your video hosting and social media services to go toe-to-toe with international heavy-weights, ban access to their urls altogether. You don't like an article the most read newspaper in the world posted about the secret accumulated wealth your leaders amass while in public office, go ahead and write-off access to their reporting. However, in the process, your own people suffer due to the hit to innovation and discovery that lack of competition brings and one day the people in these tightly controlled e-vironments will wake up and realize they are only getting half the picture and even less of the pie.
I would say the main reason China has the "great firewall" is to block out western propaganda.
Hopefully we can erect a European firewall as well, because here people seem to be almost as brainwashed as in the US.
I wish this was all true but it isnt. Well managed protectionism allows national champions to emerge. Allow them to compete in other peoples markets and then they become good (EDF or Baidu for example).
It is government favouring nationals at the expense of competition.
Freedom of information is a natural step in mankind's march towards liberty.
'Will it be stopped, now that it has become so strong and its adversaries so weak?'
You don't have balls to build one suiting your oppressive minds yet you want control on the internet to suppress the voice of liberty. Remember time has changed since Socrates and you gonna drink the Hemlock this time.
Voice of liberty or voice of the real oppressors?
Socrates and/or Plato believed the natural evolution of states go from democracy to tyranny. Looking at the US, they are first in the cycle.
I wouldn't bet on that. After the 2000 elections, a farce and sham, and the subsequent warring overturn of governments foisted by the US, and the enactment of the so-called Patriot Acts, hurriedly taking advantage of an atmosphere of irrational fear, personal rights and liberties have been eroded in the last decade at a pace and in a quantity never before seen in the US in the entirety of its history until this new century. We also all realize that the potential for a wonderful Libertarian Utopian Society decreases greatly as you populate it: numbers destroy the peace.
Argue all you like. The ultimate controlling authority of the internet is the United States Department of Defense.
Do you want your own internet? Go start one. Nobody is stopping you.
Ethiopia has national internets, woredanet for civil servants, schoolnet etc. Strictly national, strictly policed, in a desperate bid to prevent modernity without the western donors noticing quite how repressive it really is..
So how would you say the US Department of Defence controll the Internett? As far as I know Internett can work without US nowadays, you would need some new routing, dns etc. but there is no centralized unique power being held in the US.

posted August 17, 2004 On August 12th, 2004, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington announced the appointment of Ted Kooser to be the 13th Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. He will take up his duties in the fall, opening the Library's annual literary series on Oct. 7 with a reading of his work. Kooser will also be a featured speaker at the Library of Congress National Book Festival poetry pavilion on Saturday, October 9, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. On making the appointment, Billington said, "Ted Kooser is a major poetic voice for rural and small town America and the first Poet Laureate chosen from the Great Plains. His verse reaches beyond his native region to touch on universal themes in accessible ways."Kooser, the author of ten collections of poetry, most recently Delights & Shadows (2004), was born in Ames, Iowa, in 1939. He earned his bachelor's degree at Iowa State University in 1962 and his master's degree at the University of Nebraska in 1968. Kooser is the former vice-president of Lincoln Benefit Life, an insurance company in Lincoln, NE, and currently lives on an acreage near the village of Garland, NE, with his wife, Lincoln Journal Star editor Kathleen Rutledge. Kooser's other collections of poetry include Sure Signs (1980), which received the Society of Midland Authors Prize for the best book of poetry by a midwestern writer published in that year; One World at a Time (1985); Weather Central (1994); and Winter Morning Walks: One Hundred Postcards to Jim Harrison (2000), winner of the 2001 Nebraska Book Award for Poetry. A book of his essays, Local Wonders: Seasons in the Bohemian Alps (2002), won the Nebraska Book Award for Nonfiction in 2003. The book was also chosen as the Best Book Written by a Midwestern Writer for 2002 by Friends of American Writers, and it won the Gold Award for Autobiography in ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Awards. Kooser is also the author, with his longtime friend Jim Harrison, of Braided Creek: A Conversation in Poetry (2003), for which the two poets received the 2003 Award for Poetry from the Society of Midland Authors. Among Kooser's other awards and honors are two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, the Pushcart Prize, the Stanley Kunitz Prize from Columbia, the James Boatwright Prize and a Merit Award from the Nebraska Arts Council. He is a visiting professor in the English department of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Beginning in January 2005 (and continuing through June 2005), information kiosks will be on display at various branches of the Lincoln City Libraries to celebrate Kooser's era as Poet Laureate. You can find more information about these kiosks and their schedule of appearances at this page.

NinaMy Hair Feels Silky And SoftWonderful Product.. makes your hair soft and helps repair damaged ends. I am an absolute hair fanatic and can honestly say this is good stuff. I have very damaged hair from straightening and getting it highlighted quite often so finding good products that help repair my hair is important to me (and hard to find). Well worth the price!posted Apr 8, 2010Link to this post
JenniferHairCurly HairAmazing!I just recently started using this product once a week, now that I'm blowdrying my curly hair every few days and flat-ironing my hair every morning. I had first started using the It's A 10 Leave-In Product at the recommendation of my hair stylist and was very pleased with it, which led me to look at It's A 10's other products... and the difference using this hair mask is AMAZING. I especially noticed a difference when I was blow-drying my hair afterwards - my hair was silkier, softer, and less frizzy. My hair felt less stiff or "crunchy" that you sometimes get after flat-ironing. If you abuse your hair on a daily basis as much as I do, giving this to your hair is as refreshing as drinking lemonade during a heat wave! Treat yourself and your hair, you're both worth it. :)posted Mar 1, 2010Link to this post
