Comment Use this as a call to arms, not start of revolt (Score 0) 838

Iranians are not organized (the people), you cannot expect to achieve anything until you get organized. Start building groups, decentralized cells that operate on their own without a centralized leadership. Read and learn! Most of the Iranian supporters of Mousavi are intelligent, that is your weapon. Learn about tactics, sabotage, etc., and gather supplies you will need. You cannot gather in groups and attack the police using the police's own tactics of large-scale street battles. You need insurgency, and sabotage. You are intelligent Iranians, you can get into employment and infiltrate agencies that no other Iranian can. The only way a government can be brought down is with an insurgency from within. Look at the Soviet collapse for an idea of how this is done. Most importantly, build international support, you cannot do this on your own. There are many organizations that would support a move towards democracy with supplies and money. Without the above, you cannot achieve anything except suffering for those who would most likely be wanting to help the cause.

Comment Simple answer: bureaucracy (Score 0) 902

You want to add a user? Fill out form A, B, B-2, and C-3 People tend to take paperwork seriously (ie. they take user setup into consideration when hiring new people if they have to fill out paperwork). HELP DESK: Have users fill out a dynamic form that also functions as a helper. Some of these can be designed in such a way as to have the user solve a lot of the simple problems on their own, while filling out the form, without it ever being completed and sent in. I call it formalization... works great in big organizations where people are used to filling out paperwork... not so good in small-medium sized orgs where you are in close proximity with the others in the company... Also...and most importantly...well designed forms will provide you with all the information you need, while being realistic to what information the users know how to find...

Comment Web 2.5? ad-evenue sharing (Score 0) 322

There are other questions being raised here. This may be a direct attack on the you post I profit web 2.0 model. Perhaps this will force publishers to do ad-revenue sharing with content providers. I remember reading a while back about youtube paying content providers some amount of money from the ad-revenue their videos generate. How is this any different? This is a natural step in the evolution of the web 2.0 model (web 2.5?).
