Well in the quest to educate the great unwashed I have added a link on the right hand side bar to my kaboodle page. On this you will find links and notes to pages of research.

Please try it out as the code took ages for me to get right. Just click on Blogg Bits or the picture below it. Feel free to add your own comments and links to the page it leads you to.

Open net calls fall on deaf ears

Internet campaigners have failed in a bid to prevent plans for a so-called "two-tier" internet from going ahead.

A US Senate committee has approved a bill which aims to let internet service providers provide some customers - and companies - with preferential services.

Under the plans, providers would be allowed to give customers faster internet access for a fee.

Once again, the people find and use a resource and the goverments try and tax it or corrupt it. I did warn this was coming.

And this is what I think of people who try to censor or change the internet.

RFID consultation.

Mrs. Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information Society and Media, has launched a public debate on RFID at CeBIT 2006. The aimof this debate is to take a forward-looking approach, sketching out possible future scenarios from the perspective of the industry, the provider, the end-user and the consumer.

"I am encouraging a wide ranging discussion involving all European stakeholders and also beyond Europe. Between March and June 2006 there will be a series of public workshops to discuss the main issues relevant to RFID. The earlier we begin this discussion, the greater the prospects for success in reaching consensus on a set of guiding principles. The conclusions of
these workshops will assist the European Commission in the preparationof an online consultation.

Sleeping beauty

Well you are to tight to get broadband so you will have to look at it online.

 

Evasion of our rights.

Secret estimates of the benefits and risks of identity cards must be published, the freedom of information watchdog has told the government.

I wonder just how much of our money Teflon spent on this report. But we also wonder just why the government it’s not keen to release it into the public realm? Could it be because the report makes a rubbish of some of the comments that we the people of the UK have been fed about ID cards.

Now I know that anyone who reads this blog might think that because I am so against ID cards I must have something to hide, not so. Its just that there is so much information about the citizens of developed countrys stored on many different data bases, that it is a event just waiting to happen for some one to create a system to link them all. Good I hear people say.

But and it’s a big but do you trust them? The elected members of our or any government not to use this information for gain or for their personal use?

Of course the police would like all the information to be stored on a central network that they could access, just think they would then not have to leave the police station, never mind getting them out of the car.

How long before commercial interests were offered access to the information? And how long before your bank would not give you access to your own money unless you could produce an ID card to prove your identity? Or your insurance company (remember in the UK they want to put your basic medical details on the cards that they would like to produce). Do you honestly believe that commercial companies would not try to harvest the information contained in them?

Then when THEY (notice the big they) would by the use of radio frequency ID (RFID) tags have us totally under their thumbs.


I have just seen this on the BBC web site. My worst fears have been realized.

Happiness

Just what do you define as being happy?

To some people this would be not going to bed hungry, to others it would be going to bed not feeling as fat as a pig.

Some would define happiness as having money in the bank; well rich people have money but are they happy? In a lot of cases the answer to that will be a very big NO!

Last night tried to decide what makes me happy, some of my workmates might say I’m only happy when I’m moaning (yes I do mean YOU). Te wife would properly say it’s when I’m sat in front of the computer, doing things I should not be doing!

However my needs are few and today being Sunday I am allowed the great privilege of taking the wife shopping at our local Asda\Wal-Mart super store, there I became aware of several different things. The first being that I like looking at attractive women. The second being the fact that no matter how much the bill was going to be, I could pay it.

But did this mean I was happy, I’m not sure; could it be that as the years have gone by my definition of happiness has changed? I think not, I have always liked looking at women and I have always wanted to have enough money to do what I liked when ever I liked.

The beginning of the END is neigh.

Well it had to happen the thought police have started the process of stealing the internet from the people.

We all know that governments the world over just hate the thought of uncensored information being published by ordinary people, total with out their control. Well that’s the case at the moment (apart from China).

You may have read my comments about RFID (radio frequency identification tags), well that’s just one of the many ways that BB is trying to control us. Here in the United Kingdom the spread of closed circuit television cameras is another. But now we have something even worst.

“Last week the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee produced a draft bill to make network neutrality an explicit legal requirement in the US.”

Not an earth shattering statement you might think, but please use this link to read the full story from the BBC.

Remember they think they can fool all of the people all of the time.
