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

: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

The AP has finally come out with a story about the funding behind the Orange Revolution which is under way in Ukraine (via Dominon). As is to be expected, it's the same folks who were busy funding democracy movements in Venezuela. In this case a lot of the money was routed through the Eurasia Foundation, the Centre for Political and Legal Reforms, the International Republican Institute, many NED funded organizations such as American Center for International Labor Solidarity, Center for International Private Enterprise, the Democratic Initiatives Foundation, the Europe XXI Foundation, the Open Society Foundation - Ukraine, the National Democartic Institute For International Affairs, the Ukrainian Legal Foundation, the Ukrainian Center for Economic and Political Research (Razumkov Center), and others.... ... read full story / add a comment
