Energy from Thorium gives us one more way to resolve this issue, ie, beyond 1. Withholding nuclear technology and 2. Sharing it with Iran, namely:

Share the safe, non-Plutonium-generating Energy from Thorium (LFTR technology with Iran &;anyone who' ready to use it.

We trust it eventually became obvious, that we were referring to PlayBook, despite that name from being clipped from the OP's title line...

Wide (not wise)

And... We were referring to the rumoured but AFAIK never delivered upgrade to PlayBooks, that could have come out with the latest product releases... We think it still can & should be released, to help users retain some value in their mostly devices.

If that's impossible le, let RIM release the tools & info to enable those who can (& may still want to) attempt to do that, eg, as an Open Source project, as a tribute to the company & its device...

...then I might have felt endeared to them.

As it is, however, watching a worldwide fleet of such devices go out of currency (as the company unduly continues to wait for those of us who- who once trusted it to keep our devises up-to-date - to trust it again. We didn't & won't.

When will companies begin to enable its customers to enjoy the freedom of choice, in such matters, rather than opting for a "they'll have choice but to buy the new model" last resort - rather than encourahe a lasting, trust-rewarding relationship...

Perhaps someone who still can will help those who want to... to at least turn the fleet of PlayBooks into something useful... Eg, a handy console for a wise selection of video tutorials from KhanAdamy.org.

That's our hope for RIM...

They came, they made & sold (in this case, PlayBooks), they left something of some value for a unique purpose, supporting Education... So their creation won't go to the same kind of Hell that Apple's Lisa did, long ago...

So, anyone interested in encouraging their children
to be more enterprising & active in earning a living
& providing for themselves could - in some lawyer-
approved text, included in their will - make clear
that their wish is that any / all IP, that they (the parent)
may have created & contributed to the world, should
be considered to be in the Public Domain forever.

Such a text might even include a statement that the\
parent believes that they wish to encourage children
to do those things (listed above).

Q.E.D. (at least for those, who want to continue the
work, rather than encourage the consumption - by
the children - of any assets left to them)

The example (of action, if not will text, per se) is
The B. & M. Gates Foundation.

Why not "use up" - preferably, in humane ways -
the wealth, rather than hand it over to people,
who had little to do with its creation...?

WiFi + VoIP system design to enable local calls;
add Internet connectivity to enable outside calling.

+Beard didn't fit on Subj line, but all 3 were to be seen "masking" licensee's photo.

We think it was OK... since S. AU's gov't had same person's Driver's license in its database.

Why should beard + sunglasses + hat be OK on a firearm license???

Well, if someone finds that f/arm license, why make it easy to know who to follow home, eg, as footwork before breaking-in to steal guns...?

We say ir should be the norm, along with instructions to consider shaving off the eard, to make it even harder to make use of by such crims. Such licensees could also be advised to to to the photo shoot with coloured hair, for the same reason.

When I was in Grad School, I heard that
Ohio's state uni's considerd a student to
be an Ohio resident (able, then, to pay a
lower resident's tuition)... after 6 months
of living in Ohio.

For those with a [grand-]parent living in
a land of tuition-free uni's, see if you can
get residency or even [dual-]citizenship,
on that ground.

Join the creative minority & you may find
you have more options than those who
don't think outside the state / country, in
which they were born.

Eg:

1. Create businesses based on hiring talented people who've NOT got costly degrees, paying them less (since their Educ costs would be less = living- + Internet-costs + time).

2. Create -testing- businesses (which offer genuinely challenging/meaningful "Degree Equivalency" certifications, but no courses)

etc.

Outgoing FTP is a way to share files, but - for the one holding &
publishing some file(s) via FTP - they must have & run FTP ser-
ver(s).

Freedom of Speech implies a "Right to Serve" IMO.

Being -forced- by ISP restrictions against running servers seems
anti-competitive, since it -forces- the ISP's customer to pay (some-
one) for unnecessary / unwanted hosting services.

By extending the definition of "net neutrality" to -include- a well-
defined "Right to Serve" (since not to have such a right makes
one subservient to external hosting services, by unbalancing
the innately -balanced- TCP/IP protocols, which underlie the
Internet) would let one (with content) choose between self-
hosting & outsourcing the hosting of that content.

Start out self-hosting, until you decide to let someone else
do that for you (eg, after the content becomes popular).

One way to reduce the cost of Cancer may be to support
alternatives to "Cut, Burn & Poison" = another docu-
mentary, eg:

1. Burzynski's Antineoplaston treatments, which seem
to be capable of resolving brain cancer in children, etc.

Documentary: "Burzynski - Cancer is Serious Business"
reports some successful cases, showing before & after
-scans- for tumors / tumor growth / resolution, from
well-known, large medical centers & traditional cancer
treatment facilities. (Patents for his antineoplastons are
cited with patent numbers.)

An adviser to Pres Obama is cited as one who has
said that a reason Burzynski's treatments aren't
recognized or getting any public funding is: They
could cause collapse of -exsiting- Cancer research &
treatment enterprises, including pharmaceutical co's.

(Parts 1 & 2 are out, with Part 3 on the way.
See: www.BurzynskiMovie.com for details.)

[Movie may also be found & viewed on YouTube.com]

Controversy: FDA has repeatedly investigated the
inventor / doctor (Burzynski) with at least four (4)
Grand Juries -declining- to find reason for charge.

(US FDA appears to be "the bad guy" in this story.)

Burzynski might do well to consider CrowdSourcing
the $$$'s needed to complete remaining clinical trials
of his treatments - past & future.

2. TED.com as at least one short talk on using Electric
Fields to stop cancer tumor growth.

Add your fav alternative cancer treatment in replies
- IFF the source(s) you cite -include- scans showing
before & after scans, etc.

Same day as when we heard of Subj site...

Why does everybody & his/her dog want
big profits for little exercise of Intelligence?

After our disappointment with an ASUS Win 8 tab,
I wouldn't waste my time looking into Office 365.

(I also dislike the annual license fee deal attached
to Office 365... Imagine folks who are about to re-
tire, trying to fit an extra $100 -rent- per computer
for a -software- product!)

I'm not surprised...

Any country that can make a solid-fuel nuclear [CanDo] reactor work -without- needing costly -reprocessed- fuel-rods (and, who's already got some of its nuclear experts focussing on Energy from Thorium, as I write)...

should -surely- be capable of producing folks who can 1-up the competition in making a 3D-printed rifle fire.

PS As we watched the post-firing shell-removal step,
we couldn't help thinking of the pre-firing step required
to make a "flint-lock" rifle fire. :-)
