Larry Sanger has published a fairly strong criticism of the Wikipedia encyclopedia which relies upon a complete Open Publishing model. He calls for a rethink of what he characterises as a "lack of respect for expertise" and a "radical anti-elitism" because he sees that knowledgeable people are driven away from the project by trolls. read full story / add a comment

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
