World Court rules: All energy patents now in Public Domain.

Imagine that the heading of this post were true.

Regarding the news surrounding the Copenhagen conference today, Dec 12, 2009 as reviewed by me on www.democracynow.org.

Apparently there is a secret plan b, whereby the developed nations get 2x as much allowed pollution per person in 2050.

I suggest plan C:
Realizing that the lead polluter was the United States, and that our debt is the largest. Also that counties reserve the right to contain or keep patents under wraps in the interest of National Security. I suggest flipping the scenario:

The United States public domain all energy patents in the interest of world peace and security.
If needed we compensate those that have there patents taken.

Climate debt is for real, and we Americans owe a shitload. If we simply get lucky enough to negotiate to pay for half of what we owe, imagine how much that is. Imagine every mile you drive, having to pay x dollars, maybe 5x what you paid for the gas for sequestration of the pollution you output. Now also imagine paying that for all the gas, electricity, etc. that you have ever used your entire life. Now hear this, you OWE that debt. And the richer and more resource you used the more you owe...

If I was the developing world I think I would sue in the world court. Because they could get a judgment passed for damages. Since the USA probably would not pay the damages, the court could award damages that could be collected without cooperation from the USA. The court could award the rights to all the necessary intellectual property that's protected under international patent and trademark law. For sure stuff relating to energy but also the protections for AIDS medicines would be cleared for use by developing nations. Virtually everything the first world has ever developed that can be taken without force should be used. If this threatens future intellectual property development, then governments or the UN could give a cash award to the creators of the intellectual property that was effectively eminently domained. Also these projects could be and I think should be continued in an open source way instead of with the for profit model. When it comes to saving the earth, or at a minimum, millions of lives, our current for profit incentive system of intellectual property development has not been effective what so ever, in fact its what caused vast amounts of damage.

Where is the public domain blueprints of the most efficient internal combustion engine in the world? Where is the open franchise system for solar panel development? Where is the open and free design for the worlds most practical solar hot water heater?

Are we to tell developing nations that have almost nothing compared to us that they must pay to get into the modern game?

An Incredible Petition system for Florida.

I has been over a year since I started working diligently on my petition project. Now it is possible to sign up for petitions at www.mail-my-petition.com This site is for Florida voters only. It allows a request for a pack of petitions from the New Petition Network. These are petitions to change the Florida State constitution. If you are a civic minded voter in Florida you will definitely want to check it out. (Update 2012, www.shadowvote.org is where you will find Florida Petitioning)

Those against Network Nuetrality are Un-American

Comcast Admits to Planting Attendees at FCC Hearing

The media giant Comcast has admitted to paying people to fill the seats at a government hearing on net-neutrality. The gathering at Harvard University Monday was one of several organized by the Federal Communications Commission to gather public input. Critics say Comcast was trying to take space away from critics of media consolidation. Harvard says dozens of genuine participants were forced to stand outside the hearing unable to participate.

What irony, don't you get it. Comcast gave us an old school demonstration of what happens when you eliminate network neutrality. You in this case comcast, would pay to get to the front of the line so you don't have to wait, or in this case since the venue reached capacity, without paying a premium for a free event you don't get in at all.

If you do not support network nuetrality you really are unamerican. Whats next, when you go to a public event there will be two lines, one for the specially privileged and one for the rest. This is the issue.

Warning for those politicians who are against network neutrality, soon you will be compared to incestuous child rapists, when the rest wake up your only chance will be to pray the voters believe you when you explain that you were too dumb to understand the network neutrality concept.

System for common sense political district boundries.

I propose using a geographic algorithm to measure the distance between every voters address, either in absolute distance or estimated travel time between voters. One could even factor each voter by mode of transportation so that if there was a large shift away from cars in the future the algorithm would still make sense. Using this data a common focal point would be determined. This would be the center of the district. To be continued...

Web 2.0 and 3.0 flaws and visions

I have been complaining for years of the flaws of this Virgin internet we have. Well not about the flaws in the system but the lack of ambition of the web programmers. I feel like we are all stuck in a "hello world" program. The potential is massive but its use grossly underutilized. So am I going to quit bitching and start my own web 2.0 application...

First think about this.
Ever read one of those reviews about a beta project and the reviewer says pretty nice except for "xyz" which is the beta part. That pisses me off. Its stupid. Thats the same with criticizing a web 2.0 concept. The fact that it is described with a revision number ie 2.0 is a clue. Maybe we should call it 1.90210 instead. Its not done. Let me reiterate a web 2.0 project requires the participatory audience to make it work. The reaction and direction of the audience determines the path of the project. And the programmers implement the next step. You cant, program the entire concept (unless its a simple 'hello world' type web 2.0 app.) in one shot without the users.

Conclusion:
If your complaining about flaws in a web 2.0 enterprise, its the same as approaching Picasso when he is half way done with a painting and critiquing it. It should never, ever, be done. Complain about how a bit of structured programming affects the usability of the site but not about the site itself. Suggest ways of improvement, particularly ones that are visionary and will help all web 2.0 sites.

One last thing, I want to give a heads up or hint to Andrew Keen (heard him on radio, not read the book) we have not built the trust network or digital id for the common web surfer yet. Actually it has been built but not widely implemented yet, its the openid system. Sprinkle in the trust matrix and then the sky is the limit, hey we are talking world peace, etc. here. So don't be surprised if you get peoples ire up, when you shit on this salvation for the human race, unless of course you are just building you web traffic.

We are so close, and i want to be a part of it.

a little more about open source computer

I have had a website for about a couple of years now with yahoo.

The site is www.opensourcecomputer.com its about a concept of sharing information to build the perfect computer.

ok
