Larry Sanger has published a fairly strong criticism of the Wikipedia encyclopedia which relies upon a complete Open Publishing model.

Why did great civilisations of the past collapse, and how likely is it that ours will, too? University of California at Los Angeles geography professor and Pulitzer Prize winner Jared Diamond begins his 575-page book with a response to this query by quoting Percy Bysshe Shelley's haunting poem on the faded glories of an Egyptian pharaoh, 'Ozymandias': And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. read full story / add a comment

As you know putting a "word" through "goo" is how most people enter the cybernetic matrix. Thanks to the fine minds of CERN we have had the internet for years now, and millions oh yes millions of people use it everyday. Most just use it a little bit. Many people upload thier photos, or download music, many more pay their mortgage and food bills by adding to the code. Some people abuse it, that really has to be said. Very few people understand it. I'd wager a guess that less than 1000 people on this planet understand it. But i'd probably be wrong. read full story / add a comment

The island of Diego Garcia, apparently as vulnerable as many other islands in the Indian Ocean escaped without any casualties. It just happens to have a US Air Force base on it, which is directly linked to the US Pacific Command in Hawaii which knew about the earthquake hours before the tsunamis hit the islands shores. Even half an hour’s warning gives enough time to get away from the wave. As An expert on hazard research wrote in the Independent: “Forethought and practical action can make the difference between a natural event and a natural disaster”. read full story / add a comment

:2005 -1984 =21 you get the key to the door now. Lord Falconer, the minister in charge of freedom of information, emphasises that the act is not solely for the media and researchers to prise secrets out of Downing Street but will give ordinary members of the public a greater chance to get information from the public sector. But many are sceptical that officials' secretive habits, and this government's reliance on spin and control, will melt away. Whitehall has taken a long time to get to this position. A freedom of information act was first promised by Labour in 1974, but nothing happened. The Blair government eventually passed the act in 2000, then delayed its introduction for five years. More than 50 other countries have passed such legislation before now, the first being Sweden in 1766. read full story / add a comment |
