I stand corrected sir, good information and your point does make sense now....and my apologies!

i would then put forth that the problem isn't just 'government' but perhaps more appropriately, 'large systems' of which american government is certainly one of the biggest. It's a minor quibble based on what I now understand your point to be, but one I think is important in this day and age.

Stupidity is exponential. Living with 4 people in a house is tough...living with 300 million........

The medical and legal professions are the most IT challenged disciplines I've ever seen, but that may be largely due to excessive gov't regulation.

You obviously have little experience in education.

....oh, and your politics are showing...IT challenge is related to gov't regulation how? And please do tell how this unspoken rational outweighs simply being cash strapped and crisis focused?....ok, not as sexy as knee-jerk rant against the "gob'met"...carry on with that

Off on a complete tangent.... Since I am still shooting even when I can see myself doing it, is it really a 3rd person shooter? I mean I suppose if it was you instead of I shooting, or even if'n you join me in shooting, we could get it up to a 2nd person shooter. But one would kind of require some random dude on ur screenz to honestly go wit 3rd person. Or perhaps I need to drink a beer and kill a mob of mobbed up mobs.

As I hope would I, but are you honestly saying that most people would as well? or would they take offense at being lectured too?

As much as we all want to believe we'd be ever so enlightened in viewing such an event with an honest introspection, it's human nature to take offense when someone outside the tribe bitchslaps you.

Just consider how you would react if a group of Chinese "hacktavists" defaced a bunch of local sites in order to bring our attention to the issues in our system. What a wonderful benefit that would be right?

Wrong

This is doing exactly zero good as far as I can see, and probably is doing some damage to the very cause they appear to be championing.

You give the Chinese people way too little credit. Remmber Tiananmen Square? The Chinese do.

Yeah but most of them "remember" only what the party line was. I dated a gal from China a few years back who was a quite intelligent and reasonable individual living in the west, and she was quite perplexed by the western "portrayal" of that incident. ...remember that they aren't seeing what you and I are seeing, even when it's inside their own country.

Yes. Now wouldn't it be great if we could share links to a coordinate and zoom level? They kind of missed one big detail to make this more useful.

ftfy Let's give credit where it's due. That's quite a picture as is. I found it quite entertaining my self. Would be nice to have a share-able coordinate system though. perhaps you would put that together then?

We will have solar energy as soon as the utility companies solve one technical problem -- how to run a sunbeam through a meter.

Working...
