    Oct 10 2011: open wifi p2p network architecture free to join buy a phone open it set your preference and there you go scalable internetwork based on wifi devices uncensored owned by the people and for the people . free internetwork for life
    if you can tolerate the speed ( the more there are devices the more speed you get as there are more "paths" )

    when ? ... well i don't know its still all in my head ...

    of course our society will probably crumble before that ...

    A comment on Conversation: I believe the right to an education is a basic human right..what can we do to make that a reality?

    Oct 10 2011: there is no right to steal money from productive citizens and give it to someone who does not contribute .

    education is not a right its a DUTY both from self and from the parents and more generally the people in general
    this can be achieved without stealing money from the people at the point of a gun and under treats of imprisonment

    you have a right to educate yourself ... NOT at expanses of others ...

    Oct 8 2011: actually the speech that inspires me most is not one speech but a collection of them

    but otherwise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR5m1-5ksj0 by JFK is the best .

    A comment on Conversation: Is the internet, not formal education, the new great equalizer?

    Oct 7 2011: formal education and Internet are so far from reality that yes i would say they equalize ppl ... as in making ppl dummer ... Internet , tv , school and just about any occupation today in modern life puts us back ... way back in the caves . a lot of men and women don't even know how to provide for their basic needs . food shelter clothing .
    not only in 3rd world countries but also in modern cities . the simple fact of how many ppl are morbidly obese and
    how many ppl starve to death is appalling .

    reality is this Internet makes it easy to communicate but in doing so the quality makes room for quantity .
    if we compare that to education it is very similar . we have bigger classes , more teachers that cant be fired for misbehavior and this lowers the quality ( quite a bit!)

    so i would revere much more my grand parents that knew how to sow , cook and grow food than any accountants that can calculate how much the government will rip me off or the banker for that matter ( of course neglecting to mention his fees in that equation)
  • A comment on Talk: Cameron Sinclair: A call for open-source architecture

    Oct 23 2008: This is wonderful ,incredible & ingenious !
    wow!
    Corporation principles have to be revised internationally so that intellectual property stays in the hands of the creators & not in corporation's monopoles.

    i truly abide to the concept of open source & open community technology ode to be public and not secret we truly need to make knowledge & technology available for all
    this is a good step in that direction.
