In the instance that this does happen, Clarke was only a year off. Stay away from Europa.

I'd noticed that Wired were increasingly anti-WL; now I know why. Thank you.

I don't see the problem with Wkileaks, frankly. All sites have downtime; people simply mock the famous ones when they are down. I hardly think that downtime is "falling into disrepair".

Think of the kind of playground "grassing" that was so common. Miss, he's stolen my jacket! Miss, he's stabbing me with his pencil! Miss, he's put my shoes in the toilet! This will be an online version of that. An eternal hell of kids thinking other kids are pedos and reporting them for the slightest offences. Facebook will become like Club Penguin. As for CEOP, it's on some sites already and the people who run it are incompetents, and widely known to be. Any kid with a brain blocks the offending person and LOICs any hate sites. Apart from anything else, Harman is a gynosupremist bitch. Feminism's one thing, incriminating every single male in existence is another. If she was male, she wouldn't even be in. Although I'm British, I hate the bias of British politics.

Finally, humans are coming close to having access to appropriate treatment for Parkinson's etc. Now hurry up and do the same in the other states, otherwise we'll end up with a Gunnmesque blackmarket for stem cell treatment!

Although I agree with Zombie Ryushu in that in principle the PP's ideals are far better than in practice, I do not agree that copyright should "go back to what it was around 130 years ago". Instead, copyright should be entirely optional. Indeed, perhaps copyright could be sold by the govt; if the creator of something wishes to copyright it, he must make a one-time payment to the govt, and perhaps they could sell the copyrighting rights for certain things to private bodies as well. That way, copyright would exist but most things would not be copyrighted and the state would keep money, and so the country would prosper.
